- I just think it's a learning curve, a very steep learning curve, to understand when no is appropriate and when yes is appropriate.
我認為這是一個學習曲線，一個非常陡峭的學習曲線，去理解何時說「不」是恰當的，何時說「是」是恰當的。
- - I'm gonna throw a little bit of a curve ball.
獵奇的創作人生兩難！杭特·S·湯普森道出瘋狂藝術家的宿命？ (The Terrible Paradox of Being a Creative Person - Hunter S. Thompson)
- Every man is the sum total of his reactions to experience. As your experiences differ and multiply, you become a different man, and hence your perspective changes. The answer, then, must not deal with goals at all, or not with tangible goals anyway. In short, a man who has found meaning has not dedicated his life to reaching a predefined goal, but he has rather chosen a way of life he knows he will enjoy. The goal is absolutely secondary. It is the functioning toward the goal which is important. The directions we go in life are far less important than whose finger it is that we are following. In Thompson's case, that trembling, pointing finger always remained his own, even up until the last choice he made. And in this, he reminds us, in the most extreme sense, to take control over our lives and live them on our own terms. To step outside the lines. To curve and blur them. To make new ones. To inhale them. He shows us that our work and our lives are always an ongoing process of change, of effort, of labor, of pain, of hope, of laughing, of tripping, of meandering, of loving, and of dying, in hopes that the story will continue in the words of others. His life was as much a part of his work as the words on the pages, each breath as much as each line, revealing the difficulties of making it through this world with any resemblance to the person you were when you came in, while also showing the unbelievable thrill of the whole process.
每個人都是他對經驗的反應的總和。隨著經歷的不同和增加，你會成為一個不同的人，是以你的觀點也會改變。那麼，答案肯定根本不涉及目標，或者無論如何都不涉及有形的目標。簡而言之，一個找到生活意義的人，並不是為了達到一個預定的目標而奉獻一生，而是選擇了一種他知道自己會喜歡的生活方式。目標絕對是次要的。重要的是朝著目標前進的過程。我們生活的方向遠沒有我們跟隨誰的手指重要。在湯普森的例子中，那根顫抖著的手指始終是他自己的，甚至直到他做出最後的選擇。在這一點上，他以最極端的方式提醒我們，要掌控自己的人生，按照自己的意願生

為什麼雲霄飛車的軌道不是圓形而是橢圓形的？專家來為你解答！ (Why roller coaster loops aren't circular)
- But the coaster is saying, "No, you gotta curve into this arc."
但雲霄飛車像是在對你說：「不行，你必須繞過這個彎。」
- After jumping from 1 to 14 Gs, it would decrease as you reached the top of the loop then ramp all the way up again to 14 at the bottom, and then back to 1 as the coaster leaves the curve.
從 1G 激增到 14G 後，重力會隨著你到達圓形軌道的頂部而減少，然後到軌道底部時再次上升至 14G，然後在雲霄飛車駛離彎道時回到 1G。

- Those claws grow fast and as they grow they start to curve under and I have seen it before where they get so long that they actually start digging in and poking through the pads underneath their paws.
這些爪子長得很快，而且隨著爪子的生長，爪子下面開始彎曲，我以前就見過爪子變得很長，以至於開始鑽進爪子裡，戳穿爪子下面的墊子。
