【原著选段】
Mostpeople live for love and admiration. But it is bylove and admiration that we should live.If any love is shown us we should recognise that weare quite unworthy of it. Nobody is worthy to beloved. The fact that God loves man shows that in thedivine order of ideal things it is written that eternallove is to be given to what is eternally unworthy. Orif that phrase seems to you a bitter one to hear, let ussay that everyone is worthy of love, except he whothinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that shouldbe taken kneeling, and Domine, non sumdignus should be on the lips and in the hearts ofthose who receive it.
【朱纯深译本】
大部分人活着是为了爱和赞美。但我们应该是凭借爱和赞美活着。假如有任何爱向我们显露了,我们应该认识到这爱自己是很不配的。没有谁配得到爱。上帝爱世人,这一事实显示,在神定下的事物的理想法则中,写明了要把永恒的爱给予那些永远不配的人。倘若那话你不高兴听,那就这么说吧,每个人都配得到爱,除了那些自认为配得到爱的人。爱是神圣的,必须双膝跪接,承受的人嘴里和心里都要默念“主啊,我不配。”
