Neither of my parents had the means to attend college, but both taught me to love learning, to care about people, and to work hard for whatever I wanted or believed in. 父母的影響熱愛??學習關心他人為(rén wéi)自己深信和想要的努力 She's a deep thinker. 深度思考者(sī kǎo zhě) She had two... lessons that she repeated over and over. "Be a lady" and "be independent." "Be a lady" meant don't allow yourself to be overcome by useless emotions like anger. And by "independent," she meant it would be fine if you met prince charming and lived happily ever after. But be able to fend for yourself. 獨立的淑女 One of the sadnesses about the brilliant girls who attended Cornell is that they kind of suppressed how smart they were. But Marty was so confident of his own ability, so comfortable with himself, that he never regarded me as any kind of a threat. 不得已在交往中掩飾(yǎn shì)自己的聰明才智 But marching and demonstrating just wasn't Ruth's thing. Her thing was to use the skills she had and put them to work and those were her legal skills. 運用自己的技能 She always addressed whatever point there was. There wasn't any peripheral element of it. No small talk. 直擊(zhí jī)要點 But there was the sense and there still is the sense, that nice girls don't speak up, nice girls don't make demands. too bad. 好女孩不要求??什么的氛圍(fēn wéi) sex discrimination 性別歧視 I think generally in our society, real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time. 真正的變革持久的變革是(shì)一次一步地發(fā)生 The legal strategy of one step at a time in the '70s was a conservative strategy but the goal was equality and civil rights, and that's who she always was and who she is now. 70年代她的一(yī)小步是保守策略目標是平等和(hé)公民權利 She is very disciplined but she has passions that she really enjoys. She loves the opera. 嚴于律己并且情感豐富 歌劇 I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of the music, the drama. And the sound of the human voice, it's like an electric current going through me. 音樂的(de)美 Justice and mercy, they're all in opera. Very grand emotions. 公正與仁慈都在歌劇中(zhōng) She wanted to build the idea of women's equality step by step to use each case to move things forward. It was like knitting a sweater. 一步一步 When they would say things like this, how did you respond? Well, never in anger, as my mother told me. That would've been self-defeating. Always as an opportunity to teach. I did see myself as kind of a kindergarten teacher, in those days, because the judges didn't think sex discrimination existed. Well, one of the things I tried to plant in their minds was think about how you would like the world to be for your daughters and granddaughters. 從不在怒氣中回應永遠(yǒng yuǎn)把它當做施教的機會 One of the things that I'm struck by, as I look back on it, is how unprepared the defendants were to fight back. We won because the strategy was brilliant, we won because we were smart and prepared and we fought hard. 有準備(zhǔn bèi) As a general rule, my wife does not give me any advice about cooking and I do not give her any advice about the law. 哈哈 Ruth is no longer permitted in the kitchen this by the demand of our children, who have taste. //我懷疑這是故意的就像(xiàng)阿加莎克里斯蒂的失蹤哈哈哈 The standard robe is made for a man, because it has a place for the shirt to show and the tie. So Sandra Day O'Connor and I, thought it would be appropriate if we included as part of our robe, something typical of a woman. 衣領 During my long tenure here, I was not the most quote liberal justice on the Court. From the beginning, I think what she was looking for was to build consensus. Even though chief justice Rehnquist and Sandra day O'Connor were conservative justices. They were still justices with which, Ginsburg was able to find common ground. That was her style. 建立共識(gòng shí) He is a very funny fellow. She is a very nice person, she likes opera, what's not to like? Except her views of law of course. 異己的友誼 I see the Constitution, as striving for a more perfect union. 對憲法的闡釋方式(fāng shì) She's this supposed famous liberal, he's this supposed famous conservative. She's a Jewish, he's, catholic. She's retiring at times, and he almost never is. And yet as with many great friendships there's chemistry that maybe you can't entirely explain. 觀點不同關系融洽 She was never supposed to be the great dissenter but that's the course that history took her on. 我反對 George W. Bush was able to appoint two justices. The addition of Samuel Alito and John Roberts on the Court, pushed it far to the right. 小羅伯特 I hope you will support where I come out and I understand you may not. I will not love you a jot less. I do know where the Notorious RBG came from. It was the rapper, the Notorious B.I.G. I had a picture of one of the tattoos and I showed it to her and she goes "uh!" Why would you do something so permanent? that the spirit of Liberty that imbues our Constitution must lie first and foremost in the hearts of the men and women who compose this great nation a community where the least shall be heard and considered side by side with the greatest. 平等(píng děng)都是爭取來的 I'll fight.
