मुझे लगता है कि अमेरिका और ब्रिटेन कई मायनों में धीरे-धीरे एक-दूसरे के करीब आ रहे हैं। वे अटूट रूप से आपस में जुड़े हुए हैं।

I think the US and the UK are gradually growing closer together in a lot of ways. They're inextricably linked.

ज्यादातर विरासतों के विपरीत, पश्चिमी सभ्यता मुख्य रूप से कोई भौगोलिक जगह या खून का रिश्ता नहीं है। यह सोच का एक दायरा है। इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि इंसान का जन्म दुनिया में कहाँ हुआ है, पश्चिमी सभ्यता की इस विरासत का वारिस बनने के लिए बस इतना जरूरी है कि वह विवेक और व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता के प्रति निष्ठा रखे—वे सुसंस्कृत, जीवन-समर्थक मूल्य जो "सर्वश्रेष्ठ पश्चिम" का प्रतीक हैं।

Unlike most heritages, Western civilization is not primarily a geographical place or a genetic bloodline. It is a state of mind. No matter where on earth one was born, to become heir to Western civilization's ancestry, one need only pledge allegiance to reason and individual liberty-the civilized, life-affirming values that represent the "West at its best."

मध्यकाल से ही—औद्योगिक क्रांति से बहुत, बहुत पहले—किशोरावस्था को मानव विकास के एक चरण के रूप में मान्यता दी गई है; और जैसा कि अब है, इसे लंबे समय से एक ऐसे चरण के रूप में देखा जाता है जो यौन और सामाजिक परिपक्वता के संलयन पर केंद्रित है। वास्तव में, एक अवधारणा के रूप में किशोरावस्था का इतिहास उतना ही पुराना है जितना कि यौवन का, जिसे कभी-कभी अधिक ठोस माना जाता है, और इसलिए नाम देना और पहचानना बहुत आसान होता है।

Adolescence has been recognised as a stage of human development since medieval times--long, long before the industrial revolution--and, as it is now, has long been seen as a phase which centers on the fusion of sexual and social maturity. Indeed, adolescence as a concept has as long a history as that of puberty, which is sometimes considered more concrete, and hence much easier to name and to recognize.

दुनिया भर के इंसानों के विचार और इतिहास किताबों में दर्ज होते हैं... अमेरिका की महानता न केवल किताबों में दर्ज है, बल्कि इस बात पर भी निर्भर करती है कि उसका हर एक नागरिक सार्वजनिक पुस्तकालयों का उपयोग करने में सक्षम हो।

The reflections and histories of men and women throughout the world are contained in books.... America's greatness is not only recorded in books, but it is also dependent upon each and every citizen being able to utilize public libraries.

70 के दशक के आखिरी कुछ सालों को छोड़ दें, तो स्वच्छ ऊर्जा तकनीकों के लिए मिलने वाला सरकारी फंड बिल्कुल बंद हो गया और तब से इसमें लगातार गिरावट आ रही है।

After a brief couple of years in the late '70s, public funding for clean energy technologies dried up and has been on the decline ever since.

हम सब जानते हैं कि द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध में कितने सारे जापानी-अमेरिकी सैनिक यूरोप में लड़ रहे थे, इसके बावजूद कि उनके परिवार और माता-पिता वापस अमेरिका में कैदी कैंपों में बंद थे। यह कितनी खौफनाक विडंबना है कि उनके अपने और अफ्रीकी-अमेरिकी सैनिकों के बीच, जिन्हें भी अलग-थलग रखा गया था और जिन्हें 1960 के दशक के नागरिक अधिकार अधिनियम (सिविल राइट्स एक्ट) तक अपने संघर्ष का फल देखने को नहीं मिला था—इन अमेरिकी नायकों और उनकी कहानियों को ज्यादा लोग नहीं जानते; और यह तथ्य कि 442वीं/100वीं टुकड़ी अमेरिकी इतिहास की सबसे अधिक सम्मानित यूनिट बन गई।

We know that there were so many Japanese American soldiers in World War II who were fighting in Europe despite the fact that their families, their parents were back home in American prison camps. It's savagely ironic that between themselves and the African-American soldiers, who were also segregated and didn't see the fruition of the work the culminated in the Civil Rights Act until the '60s, that these American heroes and their stories are not well known; and the fact that the 442nd/100th became the most decorated unit in U.S. history.

योद्धाओं के कारण कौवे लाल हो गए और उन्होंने अपने सरदार के साथ एक सेना पर हमला कर दिया।

From warriors ravens grew red And with their leader a host attacked.

एक युवा देश के लिए कर लगाना एक आसान काम था। और फिर धीरे-धीरे हम संपत्ति कर, विनिर्माण कर की तरफ बढ़े, और आयकर एक जनप्रिय मांग का जवाब था: चलो अमीर लोगों पर शिकंजा कसें। हम प्रथम विश्व युद्ध में कूद पड़े, और उन्होंने दरें बढ़ा दीं तथा अमीरों पर कर लगाना शुरू कर दिया। फिर हम द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध में शामिल हुए, और तभी उन्होंने हर किसी पर कर लगाया, क्योंकि उन्हें बस अधिक राजस्व की आवश्यकता थी

It was an easy thing to tax for a young country. And then gradually we moved to property taxes, manufacturing taxes, and the income tax was the answer to a populist demand: Let's go after the rich guys. We got into World War I, and they raised the rates and started taxing the rich. Then we got into World War II, and that's when they taxed everybody, because they just needed more revenue.

आयकर केवल रॉकफेलर, मॉर्गन और वेंडरबिल्ट पर ही लगाया जाता था। इसका निशाना शीर्ष 4 प्रतिशत लोग थे, और तब 1913 में शीर्ष कर दर 7 प्रतिशत थी। वुडरो विल्सन ने एक बड़ा समारोह आयोजित किया और कहा, "इस लोकप्रिय नए कर के सृजन के समय राष्ट्रपति होने पर मुझे अत्यंत प्रसन्नता है।"

The income tax only taxed the Rockefellers, the Morgans and the Vanderbilts. It was aimed at the top 4 percent, and the top rate then in 1913, was 7 percent. Woodrow Wilson had a big ceremony and said, "I'm delighted to be president at the creation of this popular new tax."

जब भी मैं चीन पहुँचती, तो मुझे कुछ दिनों के लिए निराशा घेर लेती थी क्योंकि मुझे अल्पकालिक और दीर्घकालिक दोनों तरह की बर्बादी की याद आ जाती थी; अल्पकालिक रूप से शहर का बर्बाद होना, और दशकों से संस्कृति और इतिहास का बर्बाद होना। जब आप किसी ऐसी इमारत को देखते हैं जो उसे बनाने वाली संस्कृति के बारे में बहुत कुछ कहती है और उसे नष्ट होते देखते हैं, तो बहुत सारी भावनाएँ उमड़ती हैं। जब आप किसी इमारत को नष्ट होते देखते हैं और यह महसूस करते हैं कि यह तो पूरे देश में जो चल रहा है उसका एक छोटा सा हिस्सा भर है, तो आपको बहुत गुस्सा आता है।

Every time I would arrive in China I would go through a few days of depression from being reminded of both short-term and long-term ruin; the ruining of the city that is happening in the short-term, and the ruining of culture and history that has happened over decades. When you see a building that says so much about the culture that built it being destroyed, there are a lot of emotions. You feel a lot of anger when you see a building being destroyed and realize that it's just a small part of what's going on in the entire country.

[पोप फ्रांसिस] ने वह कर दिखाया जो उनके दोनों पूर्ववर्ती - जॉन पॉल द्वितीय और बेने딕्ट - करने में विफल रहे थे। फ्रांसिस ने ऑर्थोडॉक्स चर्च के रूसी पैट्रिआर्क से मुलाकात की।

[Pope Francis] did something that both his two predecessors had failed to do - John Paul II and Benedict. Francis met with the Russian patriarch of the Orthodox Church.

[पोप फ्रांसिस] की सबसे हालिया यात्रा स्वीडन की थी, जहाँ उन्होंने प्रोटेस्टेंट सुधार की 500वीं वर्षगांठ मनाई। इससे ईसाई धर्म में सबसे बड़े विभाजनों में से एक और दशकों तक चले धार्मिक युद्धों की शुरुआत हुई थी। वह लूथर की प्रशंसा करने तक चले गए, जिन्हें एक समय चर्च में विधर्मी माना जाता था, और उन्हें एक महान सुधारक बताया। इसलिए अन्य ईसाई चर्चों के साथ वह जो कर रहे हैं, वह अतीत के घावों को भरने और अपने इतिहास के प्रति एक साझा दृष्टिकोण की दिशा में मिलकर काम करने का प्रयास है।

[Pope Francis] most recent trip was to Sweden, where he commemorated the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. That had triggered one of the biggest splits in Christianity and decades of religious wars. He went so far as to praise Luther, who was once considered a heretic in the church, as a great reformer. So what he's been doing with other Christian churches is trying to heal past wounds and work together toward a shared view of their history.

हमें इस बात का दुख नहीं है कि भारतीयों के लिए पश्चिमी ज्ञान के द्वार खोल दिए गए थे, बल्कि इस बात का है कि उस ज्ञान को हमारी अपनी सांस्कृतिक विरासत की कीमत पर भारत में आयात किया गया था। जरूरत इस बात की थी कि दोनों प्रणालियों के बीच एक उचित तालमेल बैठाया जाए, न कि भारतीय आधार की उपेक्षा की जाए और उसे नष्ट करना तो बहुत दूर की बात है।

What we deplore is not that the gate of western knowledge was thrown open to Indians, but that such knowledge was imported to India at the sacrifice of our own cultural heritage. What was needed was a proper synthesis between the two systems and not neglect, far less destruction, of the Indian base.

जब आप कला इतिहास का अध्ययन करते हैं, तो आपको पता चलता है कि शायद ही कुछ ऐसा हो जो पूरी तरह नया हो, और कई मायनों में डिजिटल आर्ट भी इससे अलग नहीं है। मुझे हर तरह की कला से प्रेरणा लेना पसंद है: मोज़ेक, चित्रलिपि, पाषाण-चित्र, कपड़ों पर बुने हुए डिज़ाइन और सिलाई-कढ़ाई। बीसवीं सदी से पहले भी बहुत बेहतरीन "पिक्सेल" डिज़ाइन बनाए गए थे, जैसे 1760 में एलिजाबेथ लेडमैन द्वारा बनाया गया एक ऐसा नमूना जो आज के बिटमैप फॉंट जैसा दिखता है।

When you study art history, you learn that there is very little that is completely new, and in many ways digital art is no different. I love to derive inspiration from all types of images: mosaics, hieroglyphics, petroglyphs, woven patterns in textiles, and needlework. There is a lot of very good "pixel" design work before the 20th century, like a 1760 sampler by Elizabeth Laidman that looks like a bitmap font.

लोग कहते हैं कि ग्राफिक डिज़ाइन अब बहुत बदल गया है, क्योंकि काम करने के लिए हमारे पास ढेरों पिक्सेल और रंग हैं... लेकिन जब आप कला इतिहास का अध्ययन करते हैं, तो आपको एहसास होता है कि इस दुनिया में कुछ भी नया नहीं है। मोज़ेक और सिलाई-कढ़ाई, ये सब पिक्सेल और बिटमैप आर्ट के ही रूप हैं। और इन सबके बावजूद, एक अच्छा डिज़ाइन इस बात पर निर्भर नहीं करता कि आप किस माध्यम में काम कर रहे हैं, बल्कि इस बात पर है कि कुछ भी शुरू करने से पहले आप अपने काम और उपलब्ध संसाधनों के बारे में कितनी गहराई से सोचते हैं।

People say graphic design is so different now, because you have so many more pixels and colors to work with... But when you study art history, you see there's just nothing new under the sun. Mosaics and needlework, it's all analogous to pixel and bitmap art. And with it all, good design's not about what medium you're working in, it's about thinking hard about what you want to do and what you have to work with before you start.

विलियम सेसिल और एलिजाबेथ की परिषद के अन्य लोगों के लिए, जिनकी राजनीतिक सोच कैथोलिक साजिशों और खतरों की आशंकाओं से निर्देशित होती थी, इंग्लैंड की सुरक्षा एक ऐसे संयुक्त और प्रोटेस्टेंट ब्रिटिश द्वीप समूह के निर्माण में निहित थी जो अकेले खड़ा रह सके और आक्रमणकारियों का मुकाबला करने के लिए तैयार रहे। दैवीय कृपा ने इन द्वीपों को चारों तरफ समुद्र से घेरकर दुनिया के बाकी हिस्सों से अलग कर दिया था, यह 'अपने आप में एक छोटी सी दुनिया' था।

For William Cecil and others in Elizabeth's Council, whose sense of Catholic conspiracy and threat governed their political thinking, England's security lay in the creation of a united and Protestant British Isles, which could stand alone, ready to resist invaders. Divine providence had set the islands apart from the rest of the world by encircling seas, 'a little world by itself'.

सच्चाई यह है कि आज चीन एक बहुत अधिक शक्तिशाली ताकत बन चुका है, क्योंकि उसकी सैन्य और रणनीतिक ताकत में अब आर्थिक ताकत का पहलू भी जुड़ गया है।

The reality is that China is a much stronger power today, because the economic dimension has been added to the military and strategic one.

मुझे लगता है कि भारत के परमाणु हथियार हासिल करने के फैसले में पाकिस्तान कोई कारक नहीं था। क्योंकि पाकिस्तान के पास ऐसी कोई क्षमता होने की कोई बात ही नहीं थी। मुख्य कारक चीन था। और वह अंतरराष्ट्रीय प्रतिष्ठा थी जो चीन को अपने खुद के परमाणु हथियार होने के कारण मिल रही थी

I think Pakistan was not a factor in terms of decision India to obtain nuclear weapon. Because there was no talk of Pakistan having any capability. The main factor was China. And the international prestige that China was getting as a consequence of having its own nuclear weapons.

मुझे पूरी तरह लगता है कि यह कड़वाहट भारतीय लोगों के बीच इस गलतफहमी से पैदा हुई थी कि चीन ने हम पर आक्रमण किया था, और उन्हें ऐसा लगा था, भारतीय लोगों को

I certainly think the antagonism came out of a mistaken notion amongst the Indian people that the Chinese aggressed on us, and they thought, Indian people
