我们活着,认识到什么叫做宏大,但也认识到,以人类的话来说,这“宏大”本身就是一项奇迹,值得赞叹。我一直没有完整理解“奇迹”这个字眼的真义。以前,我以为,“奇迹”是像摩西分开红海的水,或是耶稣基督让拉撒路(Lazarus)从死里复活之类的事。一直到有一天,一位落落寡欢的十九岁女子南西来我这里看诊,我才了解到“奇迹”的拉丁文字根之义。拉丁文说:“Mirabile dictu!”(“值得一提的美妙事物!”)或者说:“Mirabile spectu!”(“值得一看的美妙事物!”)。所以“Miracle”(奇迹),就是指值得一看的事物。南西曾经企图自杀。据她自己说,部分原因是人生已无什么值得兴奋的事,她觉得了无生趣。“我所做的每件事,都太正常了。”
We are alive and realize what it means to be ambitious, but we also realize that in the words of human beings this “grand” is a miracle in itself and is worth praising. I have not completely understood the true meaning of the word “miracle.” I used to think that “miracle ” is something like the separation of the waters of the Red Sea by Moses or the resurrection of Jesus from Jesus Christ by Lazarus. Until one day, an unwary 19-year-old woman came to visit me here, and I learned the Latin meaning of “miracle.” Latin says: “Mirabile dictu!” (“Wonderful things worth mentioning!”) Or: “Mirabile spectu!” (“Wonderful things to see!”). So “Miracle ” (miracle) means something worth seeing. Nancy once attempted suicide. According to her, part of the reason is that life has no exciting things, and she feels no interest. “Everything I do is too normal. ”
