A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信仰
Faith
I love the fact that we, as black people, carry our faith with us. We share it and embrace it and love it and talk about it because we talk about everything else and why not that and that was the first impression that I had that really touched me.
我喜欢我们,作为黑人,带着我们的信仰。我们分享它,拥抱它,热爱它,谈论它,因为我们谈论其他所有的事情,为什么不这样呢,这是我真正打动我的第一印象。
We're very open and outspoken about our faith and our beliefs. We also talk about our doubts, our moments of insecurities. We talk about it all day, how we're inspired by God. We recognize little miracles every day, and that's how we're raising our daughter.
我们对自己的信仰非常开放和直言不讳。我们也谈论我们的疑惑,我们的不安全感。我们整天都在谈论这件事,我们如何受到上帝的鼓舞。我们每天都能看到小小的奇迹,这就是我们抚养女儿的方式。
I can't really put it in one sentence because although on one hand Preacher is about faith and yes it is also about, I suppose, the search for God, the search for faith and the manipulation and the abuse committed by figures in whom I suppose people have faith.
我不能用一句话来概括,因为尽管一方面传教士是关于信仰的,是的,我想也是关于,对上帝的探索,对信仰的探索,对人物的操纵和虐待,我想人们都有信仰。
To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. It has been noted by almost every ancient wisdom tradition.
带着一种尚未实现的渴望耐心地坐着,并相信这种渴望会实现,这很可能是人类能够拥有的最强大的“魔法技能”之一。几乎每一个古老的智慧传统都注意到了这一点。
You've got a way with me. Somehow you got me to believe in everything that I could be. I've gotta say, you've really got a way. You've got a way it seems. You gave me faith to find my dreams. You'll never know just what that means. Can't you see, you've got a way with me.
你对我很有一套。不知怎的,你让我相信了我所能做的一切。我得说,你真有办法。你似乎有办法。你给了我找到梦想的信心。你永远不知道那是什么意思。难道你不明白,你对我有办法。
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
所有的金子都不会发光, 并不是所有流浪的人都迷路了; 强壮的老人不会枯萎, 霜打不到深根。 将从灰烬中唤醒一团火, 从阴影里射出的光; 折断的刀必重新折断, 无冕者将再次称王。
The ongoing suspicion that scientific discoveries or rigorous biblical scholarship will undermine faith is a tacit admission that faith is threatened by knowledge, because it is ultimately constructed on weak or faulty assumptions and, like the proverbial house of cards, needs to be "protected" from collapsing.
人们一直怀疑科学发现或严格的圣经研究将破坏信仰,这是默认信仰受到知识的威胁,因为它最终是建立在薄弱或错误的假设之上的,就像众所周知的纸牌屋一样,需要“保护”自己不崩溃。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
是心灵感知上帝,而不是理性。这就是信仰:上帝是用心感知的,而不是理性感知的。
Man asks and God replies but we don't understand his replies because they dwell in the depths of our souls and remain there until we die.
人问,神答,我们却不明白他的答,因为他的答覆住在我们灵魂的深处,直到我们死。
Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.
信仰是一种以渴望的形式出现的爱。
Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
信仰在于当它超出理性所能相信的时候去相信。
You were born a child of light’s wonderful secret— you return to the beauty you have always been.
你出生在光的奇妙秘密的孩子-你回到你一直是美丽的。
Man is manifestly not the measure of all things. This universe is shot through with mystery. The very fact of its being, and of our own, is a mystery absolute, and the only miracle worthy of the name.
人显然不是万物的尺度。这个宇宙充满了神秘。它的存在,以及我们自己的存在,本身就是一个绝对的谜,是唯一值得我们称之为奇迹的东西。
