(1)Confession自 白

很多时候，我们会发现，承认自己的过失不是件容易的事情;可是，我们会想到诸多理由来原谅自己。可是，犯错的是他人，我们则是反过来的。其实，归咎罪责已经无计可施，何不退一步，放过他人，也放过自己?

Forgive us that often we forgive ourselves so easily and others so hardly;

Forgive us that we expect perfection

from those to whom we show none;

Forgive us for 2)repelling people by the way

we set a good example;

Forgive us the 3)folly of trying to improve a friend;

Forbid that we should use our little idea of goodness as a spear to wound those who are different;

Forbid that we should feel superior to others

when we are only more 4)shielded;

And may we encourage the secret struggle

of every person.

原谅我们,原谅自己往往如此简单,

原谅别人却那么难;

原谅我们,期望他人尽善尽美,

自己却乏善可陈;

原谅我们,使人反感,

自己却先当了榜样;

原谅我们,愚不可及,竟尝试“调教”朋友;

不要让我们把那自以为是的善意

变成利剑,伤害那些有别于己的人;

不要让我们妄自尊大,

只落得个孤傲不群的下场;

每一位默默奋斗的人都值得我们鼓励。
