見此情景，犍陀多又驚又怕，有好一忽兒傻不愣登張著嘴，眨巴著眼睛。這樣細(xì)細(xì)一根蜘蛛絲，負(fù)擔(dān)自家一人尚且發(fā)發(fā)可危，那么多人的重量，怎禁受得住？萬(wàn)一半中間斷掉，就連好家伙我，千辛萬(wàn)苦才爬到這里，豈不也要一頭朝下，重新掉進(jìn)地獄里去么？那一來(lái)，可乖乖不得了！這工夫，成百上千的罪人蠢蠢欲動(dòng)，從黑洞洞的血池底下爬將上來(lái)，一字兒沿著發(fā)出一縷細(xì)光的蜘蛛絲，不暇少停，拼命向上爬。不趁早想辦法，蛛絲就會(huì)一斷二截，自己勢(shì)必又該掉進(jìn)地獄去了。Kandatashoutedout,"Hey!Yousinners!Thisthreadismine!Whosaidyoucouldclimbupit?Getoff!Getoff!"于是，犍陀多暴喝一聲：“嘿，你們這幫罪人，這根蛛絲可是咱家我的！誰(shuí)讓你們爬上來(lái)的？快滾下去！滾下去！”Thoughthethreadhadbeenfineuntiljustthen,withthesewordsitsnappedwithatwangrightwhereKandataheldit.PoorKandatafellheadfirstthroughtheair,spinninglikeatop,rightdownthroughthedarkness.Theseveredendofthesilverthreadhungthere,suspendedfromheaven,shiningwithitspalelightinthatmoonless,starlesssky.說(shuō)時(shí)遲，那時(shí)快，方才還好端端的蜘蛛絲，竟噗哧一聲，從吊著犍陀多的地方突然斷裂。這回有他好受的了。霎時(shí)間，犍陀多像個(gè)陀螺，滴溜溜翻滾著，唆地一頭栽進(jìn)黑暗的深淵。此時(shí)，惟有極樂凈土的蜘蛛絲，依然細(xì)細(xì)的，閃著一縷銀光，半短不長(zhǎng)的，飄垂在沒有星月的半空中。TheBuddhastoodinParadiseattheedgeofthelotuspond,silentlywatchingtheseevents.AfterKandatasanklikeastonetothebottomoftheLakeofBlood佛世尊佇立在寶蓮池畔，始終凝視著事情的經(jīng)過(guò)。當(dāng)犍陀多倏忽之間便石頭般沉入血池之底，世尊面露悲憫之色，又重新踱起步來(lái)。犍陀多只顧自己脫離苦海，毫無(wú)慈悲心腸，于是受到應(yīng)得的報(bào)應(yīng)，又落進(jìn)原先的地獄。在世尊眼里，想必那作為是過(guò)于卑劣了。YetthelotusblossomsinthelotuspondsofParadisecarenothingaboutsuchmatters.Theirjewel-likewhiteflowerswavedaboutthefeetoftheBuddha,andeachflower'sgoldencentercontinuouslyfilledtheplacewiththeirindescribablywondrousfragrance.ItwasalmostnooninParadise.不過(guò)，極樂蓮池里的蓮花，并不理會(huì)這等事。那晶白如玉的花朵，掀動(dòng)著花萼在世尊足畔款擺，花心之中金蕊送香，其香勝妙殊絕，普薰十方。極樂世界大約已近正午時(shí)分。(16April1918)（一九一八年四月）艾蓮譯用生命托起你生的可能假如這都不算愛……Agirlandaboywereonamotorcycle,speedingthroughthenight.一天夜里，男孩騎摩托車帶著女孩超速行駛。Theylovedeachotheralot..他們彼此深愛著對(duì)方……Girl:"slowdownalittle..I'mscared.."女孩：“慢一點(diǎn)...我怕...”Boy:"no,it'ssofun.."男孩：“不，這樣很有趣”Girl:"please...it'ssoscary.."女孩：“求求你...這樣太嚇人了...”Boy:"thensaythatyouloveme.."男孩：“好吧，那你說(shuō)你愛我...”Girl:"fine.Iloveyou.canyouslowdownnow."女孩：“好我愛你...你現(xiàn)在可以慢下來(lái)了嗎？”Boy:"givemeabighug.."男孩：“緊緊抱我一下...”Thegirlgavehimabighug.女孩緊緊擁抱了他一下。Girl:"nowcanyouslowdown."女孩：“現(xiàn)在你可以慢下來(lái)了吧？”Boy:"canyoutakeoffmyhelmetandputitonit'suncomfortableandit'sbotheringmewhileIdrive."男孩：“你可以脫下我的頭盔并自己戴上嗎？它讓我感到不舒服，還干擾我駕車?！盩hennextday,therewasastoryinthenewspaper.Amotorcyclehadcrashedintoabuildingbecauseit’sbrakeswerebroken.第二天，報(bào)紙報(bào)道：一輛摩托車因?yàn)閯x車失靈而撞毀在一幢建筑物上。Thereweretwopeopleonthemotorcycle,ofwhichonedied,andtheotherhadsurvived...車上有兩個(gè)人，一個(gè)死亡，一個(gè)幸存...Theguyknewthatthebrakeswerebroken.hedidn'twanttoletthegirlknow,becauseheknewthatthegirlwouldhavegottenscared.駕車的男孩知道剎車失靈，但他沒有讓女孩知道，因?yàn)槟菢訒?huì)讓女孩感到害怕。Instead,hewastoldthelasttimethatshelovedhim,gotahugfromher,puthishelmetonhersothatshecanlive,anddiehimself...相反，他讓女孩最后一次說(shuō)她愛他，最后一次擁抱他，并讓她戴上自己的頭盔，結(jié)果，女孩活著，他自己死了...Onceinawhile,rightinthemiddleofanordinarylife,lovegivesusafairytale...就在一會(huì)的時(shí)間里，就在平常的生活里，愛向我們展示了一個(gè)神話……移石AlittleboywasspendinghisSaturdaymorningplayinginhissandbox.Hehadwithhimhisboxofcarsandtrucks,hisplasticpail,andashiny,redplasticshovel.Intheprocessofcreatingroadsandtunnelsinthesoftsand,hediscoveredalargerockinthemiddleofthesandbox.在一個(gè)周六的早上，一個(gè)小男孩在他的沙箱里玩耍，還帶了一盒子的玩具車、一只塑料桶和一把閃閃發(fā)亮的塑料小紅鏟。在柔軟的沙中堆砌道路和隧道的過(guò)程中，他在沙箱的中央發(fā)現(xiàn)了一塊大石頭。Theboydugaroundtherock,managingtodislodgeitfromthedirt.Withalittlebitofstruggle,hepushedandnudgedtherockacrossthesandboxbyusinghisfeet.(Hewasaverysmallboy,andtherockwasverylarge.)Whentheboygottherocktotheedgeofthesandbox,however,hefoundthathecouldn’trollitupandoverthelittlewall.小男孩在石頭的周圍挖呀挖，成功地把它從泥沙中挖了出來(lái)。接著，他有點(diǎn)吃力把石頭往沙箱上推。（他只是個(gè)小男孩，石頭顯得很大。）當(dāng)他把石頭推到沙箱的邊緣是，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)自己沒辦法把石頭滾過(guò)沙箱那堵矮小的墻。Determined,thelittleboyshoved,pushed,andpried,buteverytimehethoughthehadmadesomeprogresstherocktippedandthenfellbackintothesandbox.Thelittleboygrunted,struggled,pushed,andshoved;buthisonlyrewardwastohavetherockrollback,smashinghischubbyfingers.小男孩下定決心要把石頭移走，他又推又撬，但每次自以為取得一些成果時(shí)，那石頭又滾了下來(lái)掉回沙箱中。小男孩咕噥著，使盡全力去推。但唯一的結(jié)果就是石頭滾回來(lái)，撞到他胖胖的手指上。Finallyheburstintotearsoffrustration.Allthistimetheboy’sfatherwatchedfromhislivingroomwindowasthedramaunfolded.Atthemomentthetearsfell,alargeshadowfellacrosstheboyandthesandbox.Itwastheboy’sfather.Gentlybutfirmlyhesaid,“Son,whydidn’tyouuseallthestrengththatyouhadavailable?”Defeated,theboysobbedback,“ButIdid,Daddy,Idid!IusedallthestrengththatIhad!”“No,son,”correctedthefatherkindly.“Youdidn’tuseallthestrengthyouhad.Youdidn’taskme.”Withthatthefatherreacheddown,pickeduptherockandremoveditfromthesandbox.最后，小男孩沮喪地大哭起來(lái)。小男孩的父親一直在客廳的窗戶旁注視著這一幕。當(dāng)小男孩開始掉眼淚的時(shí)候，一個(gè)大大的身影落在小男孩和他的沙箱上。那是父親的影子。他溫和而堅(jiān)定地問(wèn)：“兒子，為什么你沒有用盡你所有的力量？”小男孩很受挫，嗚咽的回答道：“我用了，爸爸，我用了！我用盡了我全身的力量?！薄安?，兒子，”父親溫柔地糾正他說(shuō)：“你沒有用盡你所有的力量。你沒有叫我來(lái)幫你?！备赣H邊說(shuō)著邊彎下腰，撿起那塊石頭丟出了沙箱。Doyouhave“rocks”inyourlifethatneedtoberemoved?Areyoudiscoveringthatyoudon’thavewhatittakestoliftthem?ThereisONEwhoisalwaysavailabletousandwillingtogiveusthestrengthweneed.Isn’titfunnyhowwetrysohardtodothingsourselves?在你的生命中，你也遇到過(g
