Interview God
采訪上帝
"Come in," God said to me, "so, you would like to interview me?"
“進來”，上帝 對我說，“你想采訪我?”
"If you have the time," I said.
“是的，如果您有時間的話。” 我說。
He smiled through his beard and said: "My time is called eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"
上帝 微笑了，笑容通過他的胡須綻開，說：“我時間的名字叫永恒，足足可以做任何事情。你心里有什么問題想問我?”
"None that are new to you. What's the one thing that surprises you most about mankind?"
“對您來說是沒有新鮮的提問的。人類讓您感到最驚奇的事情是什么呢?”
He answered: "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they never had never lived..."
上帝 回答道：“人類在做孩子的時候感到無聊，盼望著長大，長大后又向往著返回童年；他們浪費自己的健康去贏得個人的財富，然后又浪費自己的財富去重建自身的健康；他們焦慮地憧憬未來，忘記了眼前的生活，活得既不是為了現在也不是為了將來；他們活得似乎永遠不會死，他們死得也好像從來沒活過…”
His hands took mine and we were silent. After a long period, I said, "May I ask you another question?"
上帝 握著我的手，我們一陣沉默。過了好長一段時間，我說：“我可以再問您一個問題嗎?”
He replied with a smile.
上帝用微笑回答了我。
"As a Father, what would you ask your children to do for the new year?"
“作為天父，在新的一年里您會要求您的子民做什么?”
"To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved.
