【原著选段】
Mostpeople live for love and admiration. But it is bylove and admiration that we should live.If any love is shown us we should recognise that weare quite unworthy of it. Nobody is worthy to beloved. The fact that God loves man shows that in thedivine order of ideal things it is written that eternallove is to be given to what is eternally unworthy. Orif that phrase seems to you a bitter one to hear, let ussay that everyone is worthy of love, except he whothinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that shouldbe taken kneeling, and Domine, non sumdignus should be on the lips and in the hearts ofthose who receive it.
【朱纯深译本】
大部分人活着是为了爱和赞美。但我们应该是凭借爱和赞美活着。假如有任何爱向我们显露了,我们应该认识到这爱自己是很不配的。没有谁配得到爱。上帝爱世人,这一事实显示,在神定下的事物的理想法则中,写明了要把永恒的爱给予那些永远不配的人。倘若那话你不高兴听,那就这么说吧,每个人都配得到爱,除了那些自认为配得到爱的人。爱是神圣的,必须双膝跪接,承受的人嘴里和心里都要默念“主啊,我不配。”

Last Sunday, Jim went out to fly a kite. The kite flew highly in the sky. Jim ran with it happily.
Suddenly the line was broken and the kite flew away. Soon it disappeared. Where was it?
Jim had no idea. So he had to run here and there to look for the kite. At last he saw it on the top of the tree. He tried to get it down. But he couldn’t. He felt sad.
寒假里,我用了三天的时间读完了四大名著之一:《三国演义》。这本书是元末明初的小说家罗贯中写的。
这本书里面的人物各有不同的特点,其中我印象最深的有:刘备、孔明、关羽、张飞、曹操、刘备之子刘禅。刘备爱民如子,他是个有理想有野心的枭雄,最终成为蜀国的皇帝。孔明是蜀国杰出的政治家、思想家、军事家。他足智多谋,神机妙算,上知天文下知地理。其传奇性故事为世人传诵,如:空城计、草船借箭、火烧赤壁、水淹七军、收姜维……他还发明了木牛、流马等山地运输工具。关羽这个人傲上而不凌下,性情内向少言,刚正不厄,重情义重承诺,不为名利所动;这样的人今古不常有,可谓是真英雄,令人钦佩。曾过五关斩六将,无人可挡。但最终因轻敌中了孙权的埋伏。张飞作战勇猛,性格耿直,脾气暴躁,容易冲动。曾在虎牢关一声吼,吓退曹军20万。他对士兵十分严厉,最终于部下之手。曹操文武双全,有勇有谋,擅长政治,但是他过于自私缺德,疑心重,胡乱人,最终失去天下。在这本书里,我最看不起的人物是刘备之子--刘禅,他胸无大志,只明白吃喝玩乐,“乐不思蜀”这个成语就是他“打造”出来的,最终投降于魏国。到了最后,司马炎统一了天下,将魏改为晋,三国时代就结束了。
我佩服关羽的英明神勇,佩服刘备的爱民如子,我更佩服孔明的神机妙算。读了这本书,我明白了一个道理:有勇无谋的人永远受制于人,而智勇双全的人才会统治天下。
