忏悔录 第10章 The Confessions Chapter(10)学生的苦楚



 学生的苦楚

Chapter10.



And yet, I sinned herein, O Lord God, the Creator and Disposer of all things in nature, of sin the Disposer only, O Lord my God, I sinned in transgressing the commands of my parents and those of my masters. For what they, with whatever motive, would have me learn, I might afterwards have put to good use. For I disobeyed, not from a better choice, but from love of play, loving the pride of victory in my contests, and to have my ears tickled with lying fables, that they might itch the more; the same curiosity flashing from my eyes more and more, for the shows and games of my elders. Yet those who give these shows are in such esteem, that almost all wish the same for their children, and yet are very willing that they should be beaten, if those very games detain them from the studies, whereby they would have them attain to be the givers of them.

我是在犯罪,主、天主,自然万有的管理者与创造者,但对于罪恶,你仅仅是管理者。主、我的天主,我违反父母师长的命令而犯罪。不论他们要我读书有何用意,以后我却能好好用我所学。我的不服从,不是因为我选择更好的,而是由于喜欢游戏,喜欢因打架胜人而自豪,喜听虚构的故事,越听耳朵越痒心越热,逐渐我的眼睛对大人们看的戏剧和竞技表演也发出同样的好奇心了。招待看戏的人,用这种豪举来增加声望,他们差不多都希望自己的孩子日后也能如此,但假如孩子因看戏而荒废学业,他们是宁愿孩子受扑责的。

 

Look with pity, Lord, on these things, and deliver us who call upon Thee now; deliver those too who call not on Thee yet, that they may call on Thee, and Thou mayest deliver them.

主啊,请你用慈爱的心看看这一切,请你挽救已经向你呼吁的我们,也挽救那些尚未向你呼吁的人们,使他们也能发出呼吁而得救。
