A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
邪恶
Evil
It is curious how, from time immemorial, man seems to have associated the idea of evil with beauty, shrunk from it with a sort of ghostly fear, while, at the same time drawn to it by force of its hypnotic attraction.
令人好奇的是,从远古时代起,人类似乎就把邪恶与美联系在一起,却带着一种幽灵般的恐惧而退缩,同时又被其催眠般的吸引力所吸引。
When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.
当我们原谅罪恶时,我们不会原谅它,我们不会容忍它,我们不会扼杀它。我们直面邪恶,不管它是什么,让它的恐怖震撼、震撼、激怒我们,只有这样我们才会原谅它。
We have an incredible warrior class in this country - people in law enforcement, intelligence - and I thank God every night we have them standing fast to protect us from the tremendous amount of evil that exists in the world.
我们国家有一个令人难以置信的战士阶层——执法人员、情报人员——我感谢上帝,每天晚上我们都有他们坚守岗位,保护我们免受世界上存在的大量邪恶势力的侵害。
Evil, and evil spirits, devils and devil possession, are the outgrowth of man's inadequate consciousness of God. We must avoid thinking of evil as a thing in itself - a force that works against man or, against God, if you will.
恶与恶灵、魔鬼与魔鬼附身,都是人类对上帝意识不足的结果。我们必须避免认为邪恶本身就是一种东西——一种对抗人类或上帝(如果你愿意的话)的力量。
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
神愿意阻止邪恶,却不能吗? 那么他不是全能的。 他能,但不愿意吗? 那么他是恶毒的。 他既能干又愿意吗? 那么邪恶从何而来? 他既不能也不愿意吗? 那为什么叫他上帝?
It is told that Buddha, going out to look on life, was greatly daunted by death. "They all eat one another!" he cried, and called it evil. This process I examined, changed the verb, said, "They all feed one another," and called it good.

Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.
既然无聊是进步的,无聊是万恶之源,那么,难怪世界会倒退,邪恶会蔓延。这可以追溯到世界的起源。众神感到无聊;因此他们创造了人类。
Life has a bright side and a dark side, for the world of relativity is composed of light and shadows. If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil, you yourself will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality of beauty.
生活有光明的一面和黑暗的一面,因为相对论的世界是由光和影组成的。如果你让你的思想停留在邪恶上,你自己也会变得丑陋。只看事物好的一面,这样你就能吸收美的品质。
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
我们必须发展和保持宽恕的能力。没有宽恕的能力,就没有爱的能力。我们最坏的一面也有好的一面,最好的一面也有坏的一面。当我们发现这一点时,我们就不那么容易憎恨敌人了。
In seeking to avoid evil, [humanity] is responsible for bringing more evil into the world than organisms could ever do merely by exercising their digestive tracts. It is [our] ingenuity, rather than [our] animal nature, that has given [our] fellow creatures such a bitter earthly fate.
在寻求避免邪恶的过程中,(人类)有责任把更多的邪恶带到这个世界上,这比生物体仅仅通过锻炼消化道所能做的还要多。是(我们的)独创性,而不是(我们的)动物性,给了(我们的)同伴如此痛苦的尘世命运。
What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.
认为伪善是罪恶的罪恶是如此合情合理的原因在于,除了这一种罪恶外,其他所有罪恶的背后都隐藏着正直。的确,只有犯罪和罪犯才使我们面对极端邪恶的困惑;但是只有伪君子才真正腐败到极点。
