A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
诱惑
Temptation
When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.
当我能够抵制评判他人的诱惑时，我可以把他们看作是我生命中宽恕的老师，提醒我只有当我宽恕而不是评判时，我才能拥有内心的平静。
It's obviously a lot harder to try and be a good guy than it is to be a bad guy. The world is a fundamentally evil place, it seems like. So in order to be a good person, you have to fight temptation and vice.
很明显，做一个好人比做一个坏人要难得多。看起来，这个世界从根本上来说是一个邪恶的地方。所以为了做一个好人，你必须与诱惑和罪恶作斗争。
The whole mystery of temptation is to have sins suggested to us, and to be swept after them by a sudden enthusiasm, which sometimes feels as strong as the Spirit of God ever made in us the enthusiasm for virtue.
诱惑的全部神秘之处在于，它向我们暗示了罪恶，并被一种突如其来的热情所扫荡，这种热情有时和上帝在我们身上所产生的对美德的热情一样强烈。
We sometimes confuse the feeling of temptation with that of giving into temptation. The danger here is that sometimes, feeling that we have allowed ourselves to fall, we despair of ourselves and allow ourselves to fall further.
我们有时会混淆诱惑和屈服于诱惑的感觉。这里的危险在于，有时，我们觉得自己让自己堕落了，我们对自己绝望，让自己进一步堕落。
If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I rise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savour) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
如果这个世界仅仅是诱人的，那就很容易了。如果仅仅是挑战，那就没有问题。但我早上起来时，却在改善(或拯救)世界的欲望和享受(或品味)世界的欲望之间左右为难。这使得计划一天的工作变得困难。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall.
被试探是一回事，跌倒又是另一回事。
Why comes temptation but for man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot, And so be pedestaled in triumph?
为什么诱惑不让人遇见并控制它，使它伏在自己的脚下，从而获得胜利呢?
There are temptations which strong exercise best enables us to resist.
有一些诱惑，强壮的运动最能让我们抵制。
The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.
最后一个诱惑是最大的背叛:以错误的理由做正确的事。
Virtue is insufficient temptation.
美德是不够的诱惑。
Lead us not into temptation. Just tell us where it is; we'll find it.
不要诱惑我们。告诉我们它在哪里;我们会找到它。
