英語每日背誦：What Does God Say to Me?（2）

What Does God Say to Me?(2)

by Dame Edith Evans

上帝對我說了什么(2)

伊迪絲.埃文斯夫人

I believe, today, that a great flood of good would be released in the world if all of us concentrated upon following the simple commands of Christ: “Love God first, and your neighbor as yourself.” As “yourself,” I try to remember. So if I think kindly of myself, then I think kindly of my neighbor. When Christ was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” what did He say? He told the story of the Samaritan.

今天我相信，如果我們所有人都一心一意遵循耶穌質(zhì)樸的教導(dǎo)——“首先愛上帝，然后像愛自己一樣愛你的鄰居”，世界便會善舉如潮。我努力記住“像愛你自己一樣”。所以，如果我好好為自己著想，就會好好為鄰里著想。有人問耶穌：“誰是我的鄰居”時，他怎么回答呢?他講述了撒馬利亞人救助落難的陌生人的故事。

People are always demanding of us British, “Don’t you dislike Americans?” And conversely to you Americans, “Don’t you dislike the British?” I can’t bear classing people together nationally, and liking or disliking them. People are people wherever you meet them. They are all the children of the one God.

人們總是要求我們英國人回答：“難道你們不喜歡美國人嗎?”反過來問美國人：“難道你們不喜歡英國人嗎?”我無法接受按國籍劃分人，然后決定喜歡還是厭惡他們。不管你身在何處，遇見的人都是一樣的，都是同一個上帝的孩子。

I have been asked how I felt in the Blitz. Most of the time, I was in London, terribly excited by fear. But the only way I could keep going about my work at all was by constantly assuring myself that the all-powerful God would take care of me.

有人問我閃擊戰(zhàn)期間的感受。大多數(shù)時候我在倫敦，由于恐懼而特別激動，但讓我能繼續(xù)工作的唯一辦法根本上說就是不斷讓自己確信，全能的上帝會眷顧我。

On looking round the world today, one is impressed by the amount of fear that is expressed by everybody: fear of war, fear of ill health, fear of not being able to hold a job, fear of people getting ahead of you, fear of losing opportunity; fear of losing friends, lovers, advantages; fear of death.

環(huán)顧當(dāng)今的現(xiàn)實世界，我們深感每一個人受著許多恐懼的折磨;害怕戰(zhàn)爭，害怕疾病，害怕失業(yè)，害怕落后，害怕喪失機會，害怕失去朋友、心上人、優(yōu)勢，害怕死亡。
