美麗的微笑與愛心The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "thank you" and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[陰溝、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for." And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
窮人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我們外出，從街上帶回了四個人，其中一個生命岌岌可危。于是我告訴修女們說：“你們照料其他三個，這個瀕危的人就由我來照顧了。”就這樣，我為她做了我的愛所能做的一切。我將她放在床上，看到她的臉上綻露出如此美麗的微笑。她握著我的手，只說了句“謝謝您”就死了。我情不自禁地在她面前審視起自己的良知來。我問自己，如果我是她的話，會說些什么呢?答案很簡單，我會盡量引起旁人對我的關(guān)注，我會說我饑餓難忍，冷得發(fā)抖，奄奄一息，痛苦不堪，諸如此類的話。但是她給我的卻更多更多??她給了我她的感激之情。她死時臉上卻帶著微笑。我們從排水道帶回的那個男子也是如此。當時，他幾乎全身都快被蟲子吃掉了，我們把他帶回了家。“在街上，我一直像個動物一樣地活著，但我將像個天使一樣地死去，有人愛，有人關(guān)心。”真是太好了，我看到了他的偉大之處，他竟能說出那樣的話。他那樣地死去，不責怪任何人，不詛咒任何人，無欲無求。像天使一樣??這便是我們的人民的偉大之所在。因此我們相信耶穌所說的話??我饑腸轆轆??我衣不蔽體??我無家可歸??我不為人所要，不為人所愛，也不為人所關(guān)心??然而，你卻為我做了這一切。
I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives[修行者、沉思冥想的人] in the heart of the world. For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours...And I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace, just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
我想，我們算不上真正的社會工作者。在人們的眼中，或許我們是在做社會工作，但實際上，我們真的只是世界中心的修行者。因為，一天24小時，我們都在觸摸基督的圣體。我想，在我們的大家庭時，我們不需要槍支和炮彈來破壞和平，或帶來和平??我們只需要團結(jié)起來，彼此相愛，將和平、歡樂以及每一個家庭成員靈魂的活力都帶回世界。這樣，我們就能戰(zhàn)勝世界上現(xiàn)存的一切邪惡。
And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace be the good news to the poor. The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be wove with prayer. They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering...When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable…And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.
我準備以我所獲得的諾貝爾和平獎獎金為那些無家可歸的人們建立自己的家園。因為我相信，愛源自家庭，如果我們能為窮人建立家園，我想愛便會傳播得更廣。而且，我們將通過這種寬容博大的愛而帶來和平，成為窮人的福音。首先為我們自己家里的窮人，其次為我們國家，為全世界的窮人。為了做到這一點，姐妹們，我們的生活就必須與禱告緊緊相連，必須同基督結(jié)結(jié)一體才能互相體諒，共同分享，因為同基督結(jié)合一體就意味著互相體諒，共同分享。因為，今天的世界上仍有如此多的苦難存在……當我從街上帶回一個饑腸轆轆的人時，給他一盤飯，一片面包，我就能使他心滿意足了，我就能軀除他的饑餓。但是，如果一個人露宿街頭，感到不為人所要，不為人所愛，惶恐不安，被社會拋棄??這樣的貧困讓人心痛，如此令人無法忍受。因此，讓我們總是微笑想見，因為微笑就是愛的開端，一旦我們開始彼此自然地相愛，我們就會想著為對方做點什么了。

Find Thyself
The only problem unconsciously assumed by all Chinese philosophers to be of any importance is: How shall we enjoy life, and who can best enjoy life? No perfectionism, no straining after the unattainable, no postulating of he unknowable; but taking poor, modal human nature as it is, how shall we organize our life so that we can woke peacefully, endure nobly and live happily?
一切中國的哲學家在不知不覺中認為唯一重要的問題是：我們要怎樣享受人生?誰最會享受人生?我們不追求十全十美的理想，我們不尋找那些得不到的東西，我們不要求知道那些不得而知的東西;我們只認識不完美的、會死的人類的本性，那么我們要怎樣調(diào)整我們的人生，使我們可以和平地工作著，曠達地忍耐著，幸福地生活著呢?
Who are we? That is first question. It is a question almost impossible to answer. But we all agree with the busy self occupied in our daily activities is not quite the real self. We are quite sure we have lost something in the mere pursuit of living. When we watch a person running about looking for something in a field, the wise man can set a puzzle for all the spectator to solve: what has that person lost? Some one thinks is a watch; another thinks it is a diamond brooch; and others will essay other guesses. After all the guesses have failed, the wise man who really doesn't know what the person is seeking after, tells the company:" I'll tell you. He has lost some breath." And no one can deny that he is right. So we often forget our true self in the pursuit of living, like a bird forgetting its own danger in pursuit of a mantis which again forgets its own danger in pursuit of another.
我們是誰呢?這是第一個問題。這個問題幾乎是無法答復(fù)的。可是我們都承認在我們曰常活動中那么忙碌的自我，并不完全是真正的自我;我們相信我們在生活的追求中已經(jīng)失掉了一些東西。當我們看見一個人在一片田野里跑來跑去在尋找東西時，智者可以弄出一個難題給一切旁觀者去解答：那個人失掉了什么東西呢?有的猜一只表;有的猜一支鉆石胸針;其他的人則作其他的猜測。智者委實也不知道那個人在尋找什么東西;可是當大家都猜不中的時候，他會對大家說：“我告訴你們吧。他失掉了一些氣息了。” 沒有人會否認他的話是對的。所以我們在生活的追求中常常忘掉了真正的自我，像莊子在一個美妙的譬喻里所講的那只鳥那樣，為了要捕捉一只螳螂而忘掉自身的危險，而那只螳螂又為了要捕捉一只蟬而忘掉自身的危險

A Boy and His Tree男孩和樹
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
很久以前有一棵蘋果樹。一個小男孩每天都喜歡來到樹旁玩耍。他爬到樹頂，吃蘋果，在樹蔭里打盹……他愛這棵樹，樹也愛和他一起玩。
Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.
隨著時間的流逝，小男孩長大了。他不再到樹旁玩耍了。
One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.
一天，男孩回到樹旁，看起來很悲傷。“來和我玩吧!”樹說。
“I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.”
“我不再是小孩了，我不會再到樹下玩耍了。”男孩答到，“我想要玩具，我需要錢來買。”
“Sorry, but I don’t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn’t come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
“很遺憾，我沒有錢……但是你可以采摘我的所有蘋果拿去賣。這樣你就有錢了。”男孩很興奮。他摘掉樹上所有的蘋果，然后高興地離開了。自從那以后男孩沒有回來。樹很傷心。
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.
一天，男孩回來了，樹非常興奮。
“Come and play with me.” The tree said.
“來和我玩吧。”樹說。
“I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
“我沒有時間玩。我得為我的家庭工作。我們需要一個房子來遮風擋雨，你能幫我嗎?”很遺憾，我沒有房子。但是，你可以砍下我的樹枝來建房。“因此，男孩砍下所有的樹枝，高高興興地離開了。
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
看到他高興，樹也很高興。但是，自從那時起男孩沒再出現(xiàn)，樹有孤獨，傷心起來。
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said.
突然，在一個夏日，男孩回到樹旁，樹很高興。“來和我玩吧!”樹說。
“I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build the boat. You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
“我很傷心，我開始老了。我想去航海放松自己。你能不能給我一條船?” “用我的樹干去造一條船，你就能航海了，你會高興的。”于是，男孩砍倒樹干去造船。他航海去了，很長一段時間未露面。
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you.” the tree said. “ I don’t have teeth to bite.” The boy replied. “ No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said. “I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.” The tree said with tears. “I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
許多年后男孩終于回來了。“很遺憾，我的孩子，我再也沒有任何東西可以給你了。沒有蘋果給你……”樹說。“我沒有牙齒啃。” 男孩答到。“沒有樹干供你爬。”“現(xiàn)在我老了，爬不上去了。” 男孩說。“我真的想把一切都給你……我唯一剩下的東西是快要死去的樹墩。” 樹含著眼淚說。“現(xiàn)在，我不需要什么東西，只需要一個地方來休息。經(jīng)過了這些年我太累了。”男孩答到。 “太好了!老樹墩就是倚著休息的最好地方。過來，和我一起坐下休息吧。” 男孩坐下了，樹很高興，含淚而笑……
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.
這是一個發(fā)生在每一個人身上的故事。那棵樹就像我們的父母。我們小的時候，喜歡和爸爸媽媽玩……長大后，便離開他們，只有在我們需要父母親，或是遇到了困難的時候，才會回去找他們。盡管如此，父母卻總是有求必應(yīng)，為了我們的幸福，無私地奉獻自己的一切。你也許覺得那個男孩很殘忍，但我們何嘗不是這樣呢?
