The Scroll Marked Two 羊皮卷之二
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。
For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.
因为,这是一切成功的最大秘密。强力能够劈开一块盾牌,甚至毁灭生命,但是只有爱才具有无与伦比的力量,使人们敞开心扉。在掌握了爱的艺术之前,我只算商场上的无名小卒。我要让爱成为我最大的武器,没有人能抵挡它的威力。
My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.
我的理论,他们也许反对;我的言谈,他们也许怀疑;我的穿着,他们也许不赞成;我的长相,他们也许不喜欢;甚至我廉价出售的商品都可能使他们将信将疑,然而我的爱心一定能温暖他们,就像太阳的光芒能溶化冰冷的冻土。
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。
And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
我该怎样做呢?从今往后,我对一切都要满收爱心,这样才能获得新生。我爱太阳,它温暖我的身体;我爱雨水。它洗净我的灵魂;我爱光明,它为我指引道路;我也爱黑夜,它让我看到星辰、我迎接快乐,它使我心胸开阔;我忍受悲伤,它升华我的灵魂;我接受报酬。因为我为此付出汗水;我不怕困难,因为它们给我挑战。
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。
And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.
我该怎样说呢?我赞美敌人。敌人于是成为朋友;我鼓励朋友,朋友于是成为手足。我要常想理由赞美别人,绝不搬弄是非,道人长短。想要批评人时,咬住舌头,想要赞美人时,高声表达。
Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life.
飞鸟,清风,海浪,自然界的万物不都在用美妙动听的歌声赞美造物主吗?我也要用同样的歌声赞美她的儿女。从今往后,我要记住这个秘密。它将改变我的生活。
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。
