名校勵(lì)志英語演講 第64期:拯救世界 拯救兒童

[00:00.17]And now with time, rather than bitterness, I feel blessing. In the place of anger, I have found absolution. 現(xiàn)在我不再感到痛苦，我感覺很幸福。在憤怒中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了寬恕， [00:08.45]And in the place of revenge I have found reconciliation. And my initial fury has slowly given way to forgiveness. 在報(bào)復(fù)中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了和解，就連最初的憤怒也慢慢變成了寬恕。 [00:16.42]Almost a decade ago, I founded a charity called Heal the World. 差不多十年前，我成立了一個(gè)叫作“拯救世界”的兒童慈善機(jī)構(gòu)， [00:22.31]The title was something I felt inside me. 這個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)的名字本身只是我內(nèi)心的感覺。 [00:25.22]Little did I know, as Shmuley later pointed out, that those two words form the cornerstone of Old Testament prophecy. 直到施慕禮告訴我，我才知道這兩個(gè)詞構(gòu)成了《圣經(jīng)》舊約預(yù)言的基石。 [00:33.27]Do I really believe that we can heal this world, that is riddled with war and genocide, even today? 我真的能相信我們能拯救這個(gè)因戰(zhàn)爭和種族滅絕屠殺而變得千瘡百孔的世界嗎？ [00:41.45]And do I really think that we can heal our children, the same children 我真的相信我們能夠拯救孩子嗎？正如今早報(bào)紙報(bào)導(dǎo)的那樣， [00:45.37]who as the paper reported this morning, can walk into a high school in San Diegoand shoot down two beatiful students, just at the begining of their lives? 正是這些孩子走進(jìn)圣地亞哥的一所高中向兩位漂亮的同學(xué)開槍，結(jié)束了他們年輕的生命。這些孩子能被拯救嗎？ [00:58.22]A horrifying reminder of the guns and hatred that shot through Columbine almost two years ago. 這讓人想起了大約兩年前《科倫拜恩》里演的槍支和憤怒的可怕場面。 [01:07.05]Or children who can beat a defenseless toddler to death, like the tragic story of Jamie Bulger? 或者說我們能拯救那些像杰米·巴爾格的悲劇故事一樣， 把毫無防御能力的蹣跚學(xué)步的小孩打死的孩子嗎？ [01:16.02]Of course I do, or I wouldn't be here tonight. 當(dāng)然可以。當(dāng)然可以，否則我今晚就不會(huì)站在這里。 [01:21.37]But it all begins with forgiveness, because to heal the world, we first have to heal ourselves. 但是這一切都要從寬恕開始，因?yàn)橐仁澜缥覀儽仨毾日茸约骸? [01:28.37]And to heal the kids, we first have to heal the child within, each and every one of us. 而要拯救兒童，我們首先要拯救孩子的內(nèi)心，我們每一個(gè)人都有責(zé)任這樣做。 [01:35.09]As an adult, and as a parent, I realize that I cannot be a whole human being, 作為一個(gè)成年人，作為一名父親，我知道我并不完美， [01:40.42]nor a parent capable of unconditional love, until I put to rest the ghosts of my own childhood. 也不能給予孩子們無條件的愛，直到我把自己對(duì)童年的怨恨完全釋放出來。
