Prologue Ira Glass So in 1853, during the California Gold Rush, a leafleteer out west published the "Ten Commandments for Gold Miners" who'd come out to prospect.
序言 Ira Glass 1853 年,加州淘金热期间,一位西部传单者出版了“给前来探矿的金矿工人的十诫”。
Commandment number four-- commandment four in the traditional Ten Commandments tells you to observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
第四条诫命——传统十诫中的第四条诫命告诉你要遵守安息日以保持其神圣。
Commandment number four reads like this, "Thou shalt not remember what thy friends do at home on the Sabbath day, lest the remembrance may not compare favorably with what thou doest here."
第四条诫命是这样写的:“你不可记念你的朋友在安息日在家所做的事,免得记念的事与你在这里所做的事不相称。”
For commandment number eight-- the commandment about stealing in the traditional commandments.
对于第八条诫命——传统诫命中关于偷窃的诫命。
Commandment eight, "Thou shalt not steal a pick or a shovel or a pan from thy fellow miner or take away his tools without his leave, nor return them broken, nor remove his stake to enlarge thy claim, nor pan out gold from his riffle box."
第八条戒律:“你不得从你的矿工同伴那里偷走镐、铲子或平底锅,也不得未经他的允许而拿走他的工具,也不得将其损坏归还,也不得移走他的木桩以扩大你的权利,也不得从他的步枪箱中淘出黄金。”
There is the "Ten Commandments of Umpiring," written in 1949 by the commissioner of Major League Baseball.
美国职业棒球大联盟专员于 1949 年撰写了《裁判十诫》。
Commandment number one, "Keep your eye on the ball." Four different commandments on this list are, basically, about not getting mad at the players.
第一条戒律是:“密切关注球。”这个列表中的四个不同的戒律基本上都是关于不要对玩家生气。
There are the "Ten Commandments of Tractor Safety." Number one, "Know your tractor, its implements, and how they work." The "Ten Commandments of Paris Dining," assembled by Fodor's Travel Guides, which include number two, "Thou shalt not be too familiar with the waiter.
有“拖拉机安全十诫”。第一,“了解您的拖拉机、其机具以及它们的工作原理。”福多旅游指南整理的“巴黎餐饮十诫”,其中第二条是“你不能与服务员太熟悉。
Don't expect to hear, 'My name is Gaston, and I will be your server tonight." Also, number eight, "Thou shall not assume that the customer is always right." And number 10, "Thou shall never use the term 'doggy bag.'"
不要指望听到“我叫加斯顿,今晚我将成为你的服务员”。另外,第八点,“你不应该假设顾客总是对的。”第 10 点,“你永远不能使用‘打包’这个词。”
Let's see what else.
让我们看看还有什么。
The "Ten Commandments of Cell Phone Etiquette." Number four, "Thou shall not wear more than two wireless devices on thy belt." The Ten Commandments of Sports Betting, the "Ten Commandments of Protecting Your Million Dollar Idea," the "Ten Commandments of Good Historical Writing." My favorite-- number 10, "Thou shalt write consistently in the past tense." Interesting to think that you would need that.
“手机礼仪十诫”。第四,“你的腰带上不得佩戴超过两个无线设备。”体育博彩十诫、“保护百万美元创意的十诫”、“优秀历史写作的十诫”。我最喜欢的——第 10 条,“你必须始终如一地用过去时态写作。”有趣的是,你会需要它。
The "Ten Commandments of Bilingual Blogs," the "Ten Commandments of Pastors Leaving the Congregation," the "Ten Commandments of Working in a Hostile Environment," the "Ten Commandments for Communication with People with Disabilities"-- this includes a very helpful number six, "Don't lean on a person's wheelchair." Or number 10, "Don't be embarrassed or freak out if you accidentally use a common phrase like, 'See you later,' with somebody who can't see, or 'Did you hear about that?' with somebody who can't hear."
“双语博客的十诫”、“牧师离开会众的十诫”、“在敌对环境中工作的十诫”、“与残疾人沟通的十诫”——其中包括非常有用的第六条,“不要靠在轮椅上”。或者第十条,“如果您不小心对看不见的人使用了常用短语,例如“再见”或“您听说过吗?”,请不要感到尴尬或惊慌。和一个听不见声音的人。”
The "Ten Commandments of Being a Math Teacher"-- this will actually reveal a lot about the internal life of being a math teacher.
《数学老师十诫》——这实际上会揭示很多关于数学老师的内心生活。
Number one, "Thou shalt recognize that some students fear and dislike math and be compassionate." And then there's a long list that's basically different ways to encourage the math teacher to keep patiently explaining over and over in different ways things until your students understand them.
第一,“你应该认识到有些学生害怕和不喜欢数学,并且要有同情心。”然后有一长串基本上不同的方法来鼓励数学老师以不同的方式耐心地一遍又一遍地解释事物,直到你的学生理解它们。
And then, at the end of that list, there's the rather mournful number 10, "Though they may at times seem few, thou shall count thy blessings." Then, of course, as Peaches & Herb remind us, there are The Ten Commandments of Love.
然后,在这份清单的最后,有一个相当悲伤的数字10,“虽然它们有时看起来很少,但你应该数算你的祝福。”当然,正如桃子与香草提醒我们的那样,还有《爱的十诫》。
[MUSIC - "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE" BY PEACHES & HERB]
[音乐 - PEACHES & HERB 的《爱的十诫》]
I think there's so many different versions of the Ten Commandments because 10 commandments are such a perfect way to get across an idea.
我认为十诫有很多不同的版本,因为十诫是传达一个想法的完美方式。
There's 10 of them, you know, so it's enough that you feel like you're getting a comprehensive view.
一共有 10 个,你知道,所以这足以让你感觉你得到了一个全面的视图。
And yet at the same time, it's just 10, right?
但与此同时,它只是 10,对吗?
10-- manageable.
10——可控。
Not too overwhelming.
不太压倒性的。
Sure, I could do 10.
当然,我可以做10个。
10?
10?
Sure.
当然。
And you know, the Biblical commandments have one important thing that all these imitator commandments don't.
你知道,圣经的诫命有一件重要的事情,而所有这些模仿者的诫命都没有。
And that is they're about much more basic stuff-- you know, primal stuff that's in our lives-- honoring parents, and murder, and lying, and wanting things we don't have.
那就是它们涉及更基本的东西——你知道,我们生活中最原始的东西——尊敬父母、谋杀、撒谎,以及想要我们没有的东西。
It doesn't get bigger than that.
没有比这更大的了。
And we thought, we just had Easter and Passover.
我们想,我们刚刚度过了复活节和逾越节。
Let's find stories where people are grappling with these old, primal rules for life.
让我们来看看人们与这些古老的、原始的生活规则作斗争的故事。
With that in mind, we're devoting today's program to the Ten Commandments, the real ones.
考虑到这一点,我们今天的节目主要讨论真正的十诫。
From WBEZ Chicago, it's "This American Life." I'm Ira Glass.
来自芝加哥 WBEZ 的歌曲是“This American Life”。我是艾拉·格拉斯。
Today's show-- The Ten Commandments.
今天的节目——十诫。
Stay with us.
留在我们身边。
Now different denominations attach different numbering schemes to the commandments, to which commandment goes with which number, though the commandments are always the same.
现在,不同的教派对诫命附加了不同的编号方案,尽管诫命总是相同的,但哪条诫命对应哪个数字。
But however you count them, the first two or three commandments, they cover the same ground.
但无论你怎么计算,前两条或三条诫命都涵盖了相同的内容。
They're all about acknowledging God.
它们都是关于承认上帝。
"I'm the Lord your God.
“我是主你的神。
You shall have no other gods before me.
除了我之外,你不可有别的神。
You shall not carve idols and bow down to them and worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous god.
不可雕刻偶像,也不可跪拜敬拜它们,因为我耶和华你的神是忌邪的神。
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."
不可妄称耶和华你神的名。”
These commandments in particular are ones that Shalom Auslander tried to understand and obey as a boy going to religious school, a yeshiva-- a school where they were drilled in all of the Bible's commandments by teachers who could be pretty intimidating.
这些诫命尤其是沙洛姆·奥斯兰德(Shalom Auslander)小时候在宗教学校(犹太学校)上学时试图理解和遵守的诫命——在这所学校里,他们的老师可能非常令人生畏,对他们进行圣经所有诫命的训练。
Some more than others.
有些比其他更多。
Here's Shalom.
这是沙洛姆。
Eli said that his big brother said that Rabbi Breyer once broke a student's nose by slapping the student's face.
伊莱说,他的哥哥说布雷耶拉比曾经打过一名学生的脸,打断了他的鼻子。
Dov said that his big brother said that Rabbi Breyer had once broken a student's arm when he was dragging a student from the room for talking during prayers.
多夫说,他的哥哥说布雷耶拉比有一次将一名在祈祷期间讲话的学生从房间里拖出来时,弄断了一名学生的手臂。
Rabbi Breyer was the scariest rabbi in the whole yeshiva.
布雷耶拉比是整个犹太学院中最可怕的拉比。
He was a stocky man, wide as the doorway, with a long rough beard and thick, angry.
他是个矮胖的男人,宽如门口,留着长而粗糙的胡须,浓密而愤怒。
Hands.
手。
And everyone trembled that first day of third grade when he stomped heavily into the classroom, wrote his name on the blackboard, and shouted at Akiva for slouching in his seat.
三年级的第一天,当他重重地走进教室,在黑板上写下自己的名字,并对阿基瓦无精打采地坐在座位上大喊大叫时,每个人都颤抖起来。
Nobody spoke during class.
上课时没有人说话。
Nobody doodled in the margins of their prayer books.
没有人在祈祷书的页边空白处乱涂乱画。
And when, at the end of the first test at the end of the first week Rabbi Breyer shouted, "Pencils down!" it was as if the commandment had come from God himself.
当第一周结束时的第一次测试结束时,布雷耶拉比喊道:“铅笔放下!”这条诫命就好像来自上帝本人一样。
At recess, we stood huddled together on the concrete slab beside the door, afraid to play, worried that Breyer was somewhere watching.
课间休息时,我们挤在一起站在门边的混凝土板上,不敢玩,担心布雷耶在什么地方看着。
Avi and Eli started flipping baseball cards.
阿维和伊莱开始翻转棒球卡。
Flipping cards is considered gambling, which is forbidden.
翻牌被视为赌博,是被禁止的。
So we were supposed to return the cards to each other at the end of recess.
所以我们应该在课间休息结束时将卡片归还给对方。
Nobody ever did.
从来没有人这样做过。
Eli won a large stack of cards from Avi, and I flipped Eli next.
伊莱(Eli)从阿维(Avi)手中赢得了一大堆牌,接下来我翻转了伊莱(Eli)。
I lost an old Willie Randolph and frayed Lou Piniella, but I won a mint Carl Yastrzemski, whom I was pretty sure was Jewish.
我失去了老威利·兰多夫和磨损的卢·皮涅拉,但我赢得了薄荷卡尔·亚斯特泽姆斯基,我很确定他是犹太人。
I'd been trying to win him for months.
几个月来我一直在努力赢得他。
The bell rang, and everyone headed glumly back to class where we sat quietly at our desks, waiting for Rabbi Breyer to return.
铃声响起,每个人都闷闷不乐地回到教室,我们安静地坐在课桌前,等待布雷耶拉比回来。
I took out my Carl Yastrzemski, turned it over, and carefully wrote my name across the back.
我拿出卡尔·雅斯特泽姆斯基 (Carl Yastrzemski),将其翻过来,在背面小心翼翼地写下我的名字。
I didn't want to lose him and didn't plan on flipping him.
我不想失去他,也不打算抛弃他。
"Name of the Creator!" Rabbi Breyer shouted.
“造物主之名!”布雷耶拉比喊道。
I jumped and turned to find him standing beside me, his face red, his furious finger pointing at the baseball card on my desk.
我跳了起来,转身发现他站在我旁边,脸涨得通红,愤怒的手指着我桌上的棒球卡。
"Name of the Creator!" he shouted again.
“造物主之名!”他再次喊道。
He grabbed the card from my desk.
他从我桌上抓起那张卡。
Name of the Creator?
造物主的名字?
I was confused.
我很困惑。
Yaz?
亚兹?
Rabbi Breyer slapped my hand, grabbed me by the ear, and led me to the head of the classroom.
布雷耶拉比拍了我的手,抓住我的耳朵,把我带到教室的尽头。
He held Yastrzemski over his head and shook him.
他将亚斯特热姆斯基举过头顶并摇晃他。
"This," he declared loudly, "must never be thrown away.
“这个,”他大声宣布,“绝对不能扔掉。
It must never touch the ground.
它绝不能接触地面。
It must never be covered." Then Rabbi Breyer waved the card in my face and told me that my name was the same name as God's.
它绝对不能被覆盖。”然后布雷耶拉比在我面前挥舞着卡片并告诉我我的名字和上帝的名字一样。
And I must never write it again.
我绝对不能再写它了。
The Jewish God has 72 names.
犹太教的上帝有 72 个名字。
And even though I was only eight years old, I already knew a lot of them.
尽管我只有八岁,但我已经认识了很多。
There was Adonai.
有阿多奈。
There was Yahweh.
有耶和华。
There was Elohim.
那里有埃洛希姆。
There was He Who is Full of Mercy, He Who is Quick to Anger, the Holy Spirit, the Divine Presence, the Rock, the Savior.
那里有一位满有怜悯的主、一位容易发怒的主、圣灵、神圣临在、磐石、救主。
And now, somewhere near the bottom of the list, there was Shalom-- peace-- my name.
现在,在列表底部附近的某个地方,有 Shalom——和平——我的名字。
Rabbi Breyer handed me the baseball card, and told me to take it to the prayer hall upstairs and immediately put it in the Shaimos Box.
布雷耶拉比把棒球卡递给我,并让我把它带到楼上的祈祷厅,并立即将其放入 Shaimos Box 中。
Shaimos means "names," and it was the place where any old or unusable names of God are left to be discarded-- pages from prayer books, crumbling Talmuds, old Torah scrolls, and-- from now on-- anything I wrote my name on.
Shaimos 的意思是“名字”,这里是所有旧的或无法使用的上帝名字都被丢弃的地方——祈祷书上的书页、破碎的塔木德、古老的托拉卷轴,以及——从现在开始——任何我写下我名字的东西。
When the box was filled, the rabbis would take it outside, dig a hole, and bury the pages in the ground.
当盒子装满后,拉比们会把它拿到外面,挖一个洞,然后把书页埋在地里。
From now on, Rabbi Breyer said, when writing my name, I was to replace the last Hebrew letter, the M sound, with a simple apostrophe.
布雷耶拉比说,从现在开始,在写我的名字时,我要把最后一个希伯来字母,即M的发音,用一个简单的撇号代替。
I was no longer Shalom.
我不再是沙洛姆了。
I was Shalo'.
我是夏洛。
I headed upstairs with a sigh.
我叹了一口气,上楼了。
Life with God's name was more difficult than I imagined.
拥有上帝之名的生活比我想象的更困难。
I was annoyed with God for being so selfish with them all.
我对上帝如此自私而感到恼火。
He had 71 other names.
他还有 71 个其他名字。
I couldn't see why he'd mind so much if I used just one.
我不明白为什么如果我只使用一个他会那么介意。
I didn't want to tell God how to do his job, but I wondered if maybe there weren't bigger things for him to be worrying about than who was using one of his six dozen names without permission.
我不想告诉上帝如何做他的工作,但我想知道是否没有比谁未经许可使用他的六打名字之一更值得他担心的事情了。
Isn't this, I wondered, what led to holocausts?
我想知道,这难道不是导致大屠杀的原因吗?
The Shaimos Box in the prayer hall filled quickly-- my homework, my test papers, my "what I did this summer," even my Highlights for Children-- and buried at the bottom of the box, a pair of underpants my mother had written my name on with permanent marker.
祈祷厅里的沙莫斯盒子很快就装满了——我的作业、我的试卷、我的“今年夏天我做了什么”,甚至是我的儿童亮点——盒子的底部埋着一条内裤,我母亲用永久性记号笔在上面写下了我的名字。
It seemed I couldn't go an hour without making something holy.
看来我不能一个小时不做一些神圣的事情。
And I wasn't the only one.
而且我不是唯一一个。
Every morning, my mother wrote my name on my lunch bag-- the name of God in bright red magic marker, with a quickly drawn smiley face just below it.
每天早上,妈妈都会在我的午餐袋上写下我的名字——用鲜红色的魔法记号笔写下上帝的名字,下面还有一个快速画出的笑脸。
And every afternoon, Rabbi Breyer would grab my lunch bag, shout, "Name of the Creator!" dump the food out onto my desk, and send me upstairs to the Shaimos Box with my suddenly sacred lunch bag.
每天下午,布雷耶拉比都会抓起我的午餐袋,大喊:“造物主的名字!”把食物倒在我的桌子上,然后把我带着突然神圣的午餐袋送上楼去 Shaimos Box。
It didn't end with writing.
事情并没有随着写作而结束。
I was standing at the urinal one day when Avi came in.
有一天,阿维进来时,我正站在小便池前。
"Hey, Shalom," he said.
“嘿,沙洛姆,”他说。
"Name of the Creator!" Rabbi Breyer shouted from inside the nearby stall.
“造物主之名!”布雷耶拉比在附近的隔间里喊道。
"Name of the Creator!" We heard him fumbling with his pants and ran back to class.
“造物主之名!”我们听到他摸索裤子的声音,然后跑回教室。
Later, as we sat with our heads down as punishment, Rabbi Breyer explained that speaking God's name in the bathroom was also forbidden.
后来,当我们低下头坐下来作为惩罚时,布雷耶拉比解释说,在浴室里说出上帝的名字也是被禁止的。
And then, a few weeks later, it suddenly all clicked.
然后,几周后,一切突然灵光一闪。
I began spelling my name with an apostrophe without even thinking.
我想都没想就开始用撇号拼写我的名字。
My mother stopped writing my name on my lunch bag.
我妈妈不再在我的午餐袋上写我的名字了。
And my friends stopped saying hello to me in the bathroom.
我的朋友们不再在浴室里向我打招呼。
It had been a hassle at the beginning, but now the whole God thing was growing on me.
一开始这很麻烦,但现在整个上帝的事情在我身上越来越强烈。
My classmates were named after rabbis and forefathers.
我的同学是以拉比和祖先的名字命名的。
Abraham?
亚伯拉罕?
Isaac?
艾萨克?
Jacob?
雅各布?
Please.
请。
I was named after God.
我是以上帝的名字命名的。
So I was surprised a few days later when I heard Rabbi Breyer in the middle of an exam on the first chapter of Genesis shout, "Name of the Creator!" I turned around, expecting to see him standing beside me.
因此,几天后,当我听到布雷耶拉比在《创世记》第一章的考试中大喊“造物主的名字!”时,我感到很惊讶。我转过头,期待看到他站在我身边。
But he was on the far side of the classroom, standing behind Shlomo's desk, pointing a furious finger at Shlomo's test paper.
但他在教室的另一边,站在什洛莫的桌子后面,用手指愤怒地指着什洛莫的试卷。
"Name of the Creator!" he shouted again.
“造物主之名!”他再次喊道。
And he slapped Shlomo's hand, grabbed him by the ear, and dragged him to the front of the class.
他拍了什洛莫的手,抓住他的耳朵,把他拖到了班级前面。
Shlomo isn't technically a name of God, but it means His shalom, His peace.
从技术上讲,什洛莫并不是上帝的名字,但它的意思是他的平安,他的平安。
And for some reason, that day, Rabbi Breyer decided that was close enough.
出于某种原因,那天,拉比布雷耶认为这已经足够接近了。
But instead of feeling relieved that someone else in our classroom would share the burden of a holy name, I was disappointed.
但是,当我们教室里的其他人分担圣名的负担时,我并没有感到如释重负,反而感到失望。
It was a pain in the ass being named God.
被称为上帝真是一件痛苦的事。
But it was my pain.
但这是我的痛苦。
And it was my ass.
那是我的屁股。
Rabbi Breyer handed Shlomo his test paper and told me to take him upstairs to show him where the Shaimos Box was.
布雷耶拉比把他的试卷递给什洛莫,并让我带他上楼,告诉他沙莫斯盒子在哪里。
I still didn't quite understand God's reasoning behind the third commandment of, "Thou shall not use my name in vain," but I suddenly had a pretty good idea of the reason behind the first, "Thou shall have no other gods besides me." It's one thing to be the only God.
我仍然不太明白上帝第三条诫命“不可妄称我的名”背后的原因,但我突然很清楚第一条诫命“除我以外,不可有别的神”背后的原因。成为独一的神是一回事。
It's quite another, lesser thing to be one of two.
成为两者之一是另一回事,更次要的事情。
I headed upstairs with Shlomo two steps behind me.
我上楼,什洛莫在我身后两步。
I wanted to push him down the stairs.
我想把他推下楼梯。
I wanted to shove him out the window.
我真想把他推到窗外。
As we walked toward the prayer hall, I remembered that Rabbi Breyer told us that Moses had killed an Egyptian by uttering the name of God.
当我们走向祈祷厅时,我记得布雷耶拉比告诉我们,摩西通过说出上帝的名字杀死了一个埃及人。
Shlomo pushed his way in front of me and hurried to the Shaimos Box.
什洛莫在我面前挤了过去,匆匆走向沙莫斯包厢。
"Adonai," I whispered.
“阿多奈,”我低声说道。
Nothing.
没有什么。
"Yahweh," I said.
“耶和华,”我说。
Nothing.
没有什么。
I couldn't bear to watch him violating my Shaimos Box, so I turned and headed back to class, Shlomo running behind me, trying to keep up, using my name in vain, and calling, "Shalom, Shalom, wait up," as I squeezed my eyes shut and whispered, one last time, "Elohim." Nothing.
我无法忍受看着他侵犯我的 Shaimos Box,所以我转身回到教室,Shlomo 跑在我身后,试图跟上,徒劳地使用我的名字,喊道:“Shalom,Shalom,等等,”我闭上眼睛,最后一次低声说,“Elohim。”没有什么。
Shalom Auslander.
沙洛姆·奥斯兰德.
He has a book of short stories called Beware of God and the memoir, Foreskins Lament.
他有一本短篇小说集《当心上帝》和回忆录《包皮哀歌》。
This brings us to the fourth commandment, "Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
这就引出了第四条诫命:“当记念安息日,守为圣日。
Six days will you labor, but the seventh is a day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God."
你们要劳动六天,但第七天是安息日,献给耶和华你们的上帝。”

If you're just tuning in, we are devoting our show today to the Ten Commandments, and we are at commandment number five right now, "Honor your father and your mother." When he was 11, in Charleston, South Carolina, Jack Hitt and his friends back then formed a little club where they would hang out at this one backyard that was all overgrown and which they thought of at the time as a jungle.
如果你刚刚收看,我们今天的节目主要讨论十诫,我们现在正在遵守第五诫,“尊敬你的父亲和你的母亲。” 11 岁时,杰克·希特 (Jack Hitt) 在南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿 (Charleston) 和他的朋友们成立了一个小俱乐部,他们会在这个杂草丛生、当时被他们视为丛林的后院闲逛。
It had a big brick wall along one side.
它的一侧有一堵大砖墙。
And they started doing things that did not honor their fathers and their mothers.
他们开始做一些不尊重父母的事情。
Anyway, we had declared it to be our land.
无论如何,我们已经宣布它是我们的土地。
We were squatters.
我们是擅自占地者。
And so we started painting things on the wall.
所以我们开始在墙上画东西。
And one of us painted a naked woman.
我们中的一个人画了一个裸体女人。
And one of us wrote his name and then "loves" and then, you know, the girl he had a thing for at that time.
我们中的一个写下了他的名字,然后“爱”了,然后,你知道,他当时喜欢的那个女孩。
And that's how he got caught because he wrote his name on the wall.
这就是他被抓的原因,因为他把自己的名字写在墙上。
And then I wrote all these bad words.
然后我写下了所有这些脏话。
I just wrote every bad word I could think of.
我只是写下了我能想到的所有不好的词。
And so I came home one day, and the police came to my house and told my parents-- or called my father at work or something.
有一天我回到家,警察来到我家告诉我的父母——或者打电话给我正在上班的父亲什么的。
And anyway, he came home early from work.
不管怎样,他下班很早就回家了。
And he sat me down in his big study and said, you know, I understand you painted some words on a wall?
他让我在他的大书房里坐下来,说,你知道吗,我知道你在墙上画了一些字?
And I was like, oh, my god.
我当时想,哦,天啊。
I just burst into tears.
我简直泪流满面。
You know?
你知道?
I was just beyond control.
我简直无法控制。
My father never cursed, at least not in front of us.
我父亲从来不骂人,至少在我们面前不骂人。
And he was very strict about language.
而且他对语言的要求非常严格。
And so he asked me what words I painted on the wall.
于是他问我在墙上画了什么字。
And I think I choked out, "H-E-double hockey sticks," or something.
我想我哽咽了,“H-E-双曲棍球棒”之类的。
And you know, he kind of looked down, hmm.
你知道,他有点低下头,嗯。
"Very grave, indeed.
“确实非常严重。
Anything else?"
还有什么事吗?”
I was like, yeah.
我当时想,是的。
That was just the warm up.
那只是热身。
And so then I said, you know, I painted the other words.
然后我说,你知道,我画了其他的词。
I can't say them.
我不能说他们。
I can't say them.
我不能说他们。
And then he said, oh.
然后他说,哦。
Well, tell me what it started with.
好吧,告诉我它是从什么开始的。
You know, he was going to get it out of me.
你知道,他想从我这里得到它。
So I coughed up the letter S.
所以我吐出了字母S。
And he was just-- his eyes blazed.
他只是——他的眼睛闪闪发光。
And he bowed his head.
他低下了头。
Oh, my god.
我的天啊。
"Anything else?" And I could not be contained.
“还要别的吗?”我无法控制。
I was wailing around on the sofa.
我在沙发上嚎啕大哭。
I said, there's only one word left, and yeah, I painted it.
我说,只剩下一个字了,是的,我画了。
And he was just-- I think he was actually thunderstruck.
他只是——我认为他实际上是受到了惊吓。
And then he sat there in silence for a few minutes.
然后他静静地坐了几分钟。
And then he looked up at me, and he said-- now, you have to understand, my father comes from the rural area, marries the southern belle in Charleston, South Carolina.
然后他抬头看着我,他说——现在,你必须明白,我的父亲来自农村地区,娶了南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的南方美女。
So marriage of two kinds of families, you know, in the south.
所以,在南方,有两种家庭的婚姻。
And he said, son, I've worked all my life to make sure that when you or your sisters or your brother walk down the street, people say, there goes a Hitt.
他说,儿子,我一生都在努力确保当你或你的姐妹或你的兄弟走在街上时,人们会说,有一个希特。
They're good people.
他们是好人。
I don't think anything that anybody in this family has done has damaged that reputation as much as you have today.
我不认为这个家族中任何人所做的任何事情都像你今天一样损害了这个声誉。
And he said, that is your punishment.
他说,这就是对你的惩罚。
You may go now.
你现在可以走了。
You know, I was 11.
你知道,我当时11岁。
Wow.
哇。
Jack Hitt I was just-- I was floored, you know?
杰克·希特 我当时——我很震惊,你知道吗?
I asked him, I think, to spank me.
我想,我要求他打我屁股。
Because, of course, part of me wanted an explosion that would end it.
当然,因为我内心的一部分想要一场爆炸来结束这一切。
But he said, when he dismissed me from the room-- he said, you know, this has been your punishment.
但他说,当他把我逐出房间时,他说,你知道,这是对你的惩罚。
And then, of course, you know, a couple of months later, he dies.
然后,当然,你知道,几个月后,他去世了。
And that's one of my last memories-- is him telling me that.
这是我最后的记忆之一——是他告诉我的。
Well, I'll tell you-- years later, we had a little family reunion.
好吧,我告诉你——几年后,我们举行了一次小小的家庭聚会。
I might have been 20.
我可能已经20岁了。
I mean, I was in college.
我是说,我当时在上大学。
And all my siblings got together.
我所有的兄弟姐妹都聚在一起。
And they were all married at this point.
此时他们都已经结婚了。
And we dismissed all the in-laws to go see the movies.
然后我们就打发走了所有的公婆去看电影。
And the five of us stayed out really late talking.
我们五个人在外面聊天到很晚。
And I don't think we'd ever really talked about our father in any deep way since he had died.
我认为自从父亲去世后我们就没有真正深入地谈论过他。
And I started telling that story, and I had never told that story, because I was ashamed of it.
我开始讲那个故事,但我从未讲过那个故事,因为我为此感到羞耻。
It was the black mark on the family, that I had done this, right?
我做的这件事给家里留下了污点,对吗?
And I couldn't bring to-- I'd never told anybody that story.
我无法告诉任何人这个故事。
And I started telling that story.
我开始讲述这个故事。
And all my sisters start wailing with laughter.
我所有的姐妹都开始大笑起来。
And then they all start telling the story that-- what they had done that had prompted, essentially, the exact same speech.
然后他们都开始讲述这个故事——他们所做的事情基本上引发了完全相同的演讲。
Like, one of them had been caught shoplifting in Atlanta, and he had to fly there and get her.
比如,其中一人在亚特兰大入店行窃被抓,他必须飞到那里去接她。
You know?
你知道?
And that was just, you know, a terrible story.
你知道,那只是一个可怕的故事。
I'd never heard that one before you.
在你之前我从没听过这个。
And I thought, hoo-wee, well, you know, painting a few bad words on a wall, that's nothing compared to shoplifting in Atlanta.
我想,哎哟,好吧,你知道,在墙上画一些脏话,这与亚特兰大的入店行窃相比算不了什么。
And was this the first time that everybody else was realizing that he had said the speech to them too?
这是其他人第一次意识到他也对他们发表了演讲吗?
Or were you the only one who didn't know?
或者你是唯一一个不知道的人?
I think I was the only one who didn't know.
我想我是唯一一个不知道的人。
I mean, they're much older than I am.
我的意思是,他们比我大很多。
I'm a mistake, right?
我是一个错误,对吗?
So my oldest sister is 16 years older than I am.
所以我的大姐姐比我大16岁。
So I think what was kind of moving about that whole encounter is that all of them had long ago forgotten their particular crime that had prompted Daddy to give them the big reputation speech.
所以我认为,整个遭遇中令人感动的是,他们所有人都早已忘记了促使爸爸对他们进行盛誉演讲的特殊罪行。
But you know, when I brought it up, it suddenly-- for all of them, that all flooded back.
但你知道,当我提起这件事时,对他们所有人来说,这一切突然涌了回来。
I mean, it just created this great little moment where we all suddenly realized we were, you know-- the whole family was just so defined by my father's rather Baptist sense of morality.
我的意思是,它创造了这个伟大的小时刻,我们突然意识到,你知道,整个家庭都被我父亲相当浸信会的道德感所定义。

杰克·希特是播客“Uncivil”的联合主持人。
Well, the sixth commandment seems like it could not be more straightforward.
嗯,第六条诫命似乎再简单不过了。
"Thou shalt not kill." But of course, even this is one that is not always so simple to know how to obey.
“你不许杀人。”但当然,即使是这样,也并不总是那么容易知道如何服从。
Army Reserve Chaplain Lieutenant Colonel Lyn Brown is back in this country from Iraq, where he has served two tours.
陆军预备役牧师林恩·布朗中校从伊拉克返回美国,他曾在伊拉克服役过两次。
When he was in Iraq, he would run services for his unit once a week.
当他在伊拉克时,他每周都会为他的部队提供一次服务。
But most of his ministry was just talking to guys one on one.
但他的大部分事工只是与人一对一交谈。
The main issue they have, he says, is about missing their families.
他说,他们面临的主要问题是想念家人。
But often they talk to him about killing.
但他们经常和他谈论杀戮。
He spoke with Alex Blumberg.
他与亚历克斯·布隆伯格进行了交谈。
I did meet with one soldier on several occasions to just work through the commandment.
我确实曾多次与一名士兵会面,只是为了执行这条诫命。
This young man had actually, along with another soldier, gone forward when the vehicle in front of them had been blown up to hold the hand of a soldier who was not going to survive.
当前面的车辆被炸毁时,这个年轻人居然和另一名士兵一起向前走去,握住了一个已经死了的士兵的手。
Somebody had told me that he was having a tough time.
有人告诉我他过得很艰难。
And so I went over to him, and I just said, you know, what are you thinking?
所以我走向他,我只是说,你知道,你在想什么?
And he said, I never thought about the killing that would be going on.
他说,我从来没有想过会发生这样的杀戮。
You know, when you're firing at a target to practice, you think of those things as targets, not as people.
你知道,当你练习射击目标时,你会把那些东西当作目标,而不是人。
And for him to be there and to see that he had some buddies that were on the receiving end-- and he was just saying, the Ten Commandments in the Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill." And he says, I'm not certain I can go out and kill.
对于他来说,看到他有一些朋友在接收端——他只是说,《圣经》中的十诫说:“不可杀人。”他说,我不确定我是否可以出去杀人。
Was his concern with it, like, God wouldn't forgive him, or that it was wrong?
他是否担心上帝不会原谅他,或者这是错误的?
Well, it was that God wouldn't approve of him doing that.
好吧,那是上帝不会批准他这样做。
Right.
正确的。
Lyn Brown And he also brought up just, if you were to do it, who could he tell?
Lyn Brown 他还提出,如果你要这样做,他能告诉谁?
Because, he said, I wouldn't want to tell my girlfriend about this.
因为,他说,我不想告诉我女朋友这件事。
I wouldn't want to tell my children.
我不想告诉我的孩子们。
And that's why I went ahead and had a little Bible study with him.
这就是为什么我继续和他一起学习一些圣经。
It was the kind of thing that I did meet with him on several occasions to find out what God had to say about war, and where did the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill,"-- where did that come in?
我确实曾多次与他会面,以了解上帝对战争的看法,以及“不可杀人”的诫命从何而来?
But also to work through other instances where-- for example, in the New Testament, where Jesus meets an army officer who has a child who's dying, and he asks Jesus if he would heal his daughter.
但也要处理其他实例,例如,在新约中,耶稣遇到一位军官,他的孩子快要死了,他问耶稣是否会医治他的女儿。
But the interesting thing I would point out is that Jesus never condemned the soldier for his job.
但我要指出的有趣的是,耶稣从未谴责士兵的工作。
Now, I also know that when King David wanted to build a temple that God said, no. He said, your son's going to do it because you're a man of blood.
现在,我还知道,当大卫王想要建造一座圣殿时,上帝说不。他说,你儿子会这么做,因为你是一个有血性的人。
And so there's a lot of controversy, as you can imagine, as to trying to interpret what God was talking about there.
因此,正如你可以想象的那样,对于试图解释上帝在那里所说的内容存在很多争议。
And of course, that seems to reflect on, you know, even my role as a chaplain.
当然,这似乎也反映了我作为牧师的角色。
You know, why am I wearing an Army uniform and trying to deal with people who are out to kill people?
你知道吗,为什么我要穿着军装去对付那些想要杀人的人?
Are there times that you feel that faith and the US military are sort of at odds?
您是否有时会觉得信仰和美国军方有些矛盾?
Yes.
是的。
You know, we preach the love of God and the fact that we ought to be at peace with each other.
你知道,我们宣扬神的爱以及我们应该彼此和睦相处的事实。
And the same time I'm wearing a uniform that says US Army on it.
与此同时,我穿着一件上面写着“美国陆军”的制服。
And I'm there to support them in their mission of winning a war.
我在那里支持他们赢得战争的使命。
And that means taking lives.
这意味着夺走生命。
So I do wrestle with that.
所以我确实在努力解决这个问题。
I mean, there's times that you just kind of go, you know, God, can I resign here?
我的意思是,有时候你会想,上帝啊,我可以在这里辞职吗?
Right?
正确的?
Can I get away from this?
我能摆脱这个吗?
Rather than having to deal with the questioning that people have and often not having answers.
而不是必须处理人们提出的问题却常常得不到答案。
I mean, I think that probably the biggest challenge that I ever had was I couldn't just say, just think this way, and you'll be fine.
我的意思是,我认为我遇到的最大挑战可能是我不能只是说,只要这样想,你就会没事的。
There were times that they were asking the same questions that I would be asking.
有时他们会问我同样的问题。
Such as?
例如?
Lyn Brown Well, should we be here?
林恩·布朗 好吧,我们应该在这里吗?
Should we be killing people?
我们应该杀人吗?
Do you think that you have a different understanding of this particular commandment, about the fifth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill?" Do you feel like you have a different understanding of it after serving in Iraq than, perhaps, somebody who didn't serve?
你认为你对这条特定的诫命,即第五条诫命“不可杀人”有不同的理解吗?您是否觉得在伊拉克服役后您对伊拉克问题的理解与未服役的人有所不同?
I think I'm much more hesitant about having a definite opinion about who should die.
我想我对谁应该死有一个明确的看法更加犹豫。
Just seeing the brutality and the people who've got body parts missing or there's big holes.
只是看到残暴和那些身体部位缺失或有大洞的人。
They died a violent death.
他们死于非命。
And it's not pretty.
而且它并不漂亮。
And it just doesn't seem normal, which it isn't.
这看起来不正常,但事实并非如此。
But also, even with the Iraqi culture, there were times that people just said-- well, whatever group it was they didn't agree with, they just said, kill them all.
而且,即使在伊拉克文化中,有时人们也会说——好吧,无论他们不同意哪个群体,他们只是说,把他们都杀掉。
And I was going, uh, you know, these are people.
我当时想,呃,你知道,这些都是人。
And I didn't like that attitude.
我不喜欢这种态度。
And then I was seeing it, even among the armed forces, that there was people that would just kind of say, well, we just need to kill them all, and then that'll take care of it.
然后我看到,即使在武装部队中,也有人会说,好吧,我们只需要把他们全部杀掉,然后就可以解决问题了。
And I was going, whoa!
我当时就想,哇!
Who nominated you to be God?
谁提名你为神?
You know, we all have a tendency to interpret the Ten Commandments in a way that's convenient for us.
你知道,我们都倾向于以一种对我们来说方便的方式来解释十诫。
There's the interpretation of, "Thou shalt not murder," it shouldn't be a premeditated killing.
有解释说,“不可杀人”,这不应该是有预谋的杀人。
It has nothing do with war.
这与战争无关。
Those kinds of things.
诸如此类的事情。
But it just makes me-- I'm looking at it as a principle that God says, you need to value life, and don't take it lightly.
但这只是让我——我把它视为上帝所说的一条原则,你需要珍惜生命,不要掉以轻心。
Just don't condemn people to death just because that's easy to do.
只是不要仅仅因为这很容易就判处人们死刑。
You got to stop and think about it seriously.
你必须停下来认真思考一下。
This is something that God, Himself, doesn't take lightly.
这是神自己不会掉以轻心的事情。

A little warning there.

In 1976, in an interview with Playboy magazine, then presidential candidate Jimmy Carter admitted, kind of famously, that he had committed adultery in his heart many times, meaning, of course, that he had had lustful thoughts.
1976年,当时的总统候选人吉米·卡特在接受《花花公子》杂志采访时承认,他曾多次在心里犯下通奸罪,当然,这意味着他曾有过淫荡的想法。
There's this thing that Jesus says in the book of Matthew-- "Whoever looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery in his heart." Dave Dickerson grew up going to an evangelical church in Tucson, Arizona.
耶稣在马太福音中有这样一句话:“凡看见妇女就动淫念的,这人心里犯奸淫了。”戴夫·迪克森 (Dave Dickerson) 从小就在亚利桑那州图森市的一座福音派教堂长大。

As an evangelical Christian, I wanted desperately to please God.

So for my entire adolescence and up into my 20s, I literally tried to avoid having lustful thoughts.
因此,从我整个青春期到二十几岁,我确实尽力避免产生淫荡的想法。
I was taught this was possible.
有人告诉我这是可能的。
Paul says in Second Corinthians that we take every thought captive in the name of Jesus, which means that any spiritually healthy person ought to be able to control every thought in his head.
保罗在《哥林多后书》中说,我们奉耶稣的名俘虏每一个思想,这意味着任何灵性健康的人都应该能够控制自己头脑中的每一个思想。
Of course, in practice this is even harder than it sounds.
当然,实际上这比听起来更难。
So for young evangelicals like me there's a whole sub-industry of sex advice columns and books with titles like, Every Man's Struggle or Taking Thoughts Captive.
因此,对于像我这样的年轻福音派人士来说,有一个完整的性建议专栏和书籍子行业,其标题为“每个男人的挣扎”或“俘获思想”。
You find them in the "for men" section of any Christian bookstore.
您可以在任何基督教书店的“男性”部分找到它们。
The first thing they always tell you is that sex is a beautiful gift from God, even though it's a gift they don't want you to touch or even think about because you're just going to ruin it with your filthy paws.
他们总是告诉你的第一件事是,性是上帝赐予的美丽礼物,尽管这是一份他们不希望你触摸甚至思考的礼物,因为你只会用肮脏的爪子毁掉它。

I mean, you can see--

没错。
Derek You can see when I would draw a female figure, top to bottom, in a cartoon, there's an awkwardness to it because I didn't actually know what they looked like.
德里克:你可以看到,当我在漫画中从上到下画一个女性人物时,会有一种尴尬,因为我实际上不知道她们长什么样。
And it's those kind of things that were kind of-- it's funny to look back and talk about them now, but it was all very dead serious back then.
现在回想起来,谈论这些事情很有趣,但当时一切都非常严肃。
Oh, yeah.

You see some time travel movie and fantasize like, wow, if I had a chance to go back, what would I tell that kid?

所以我唯一的性经历都是偶然发生的——例如,一个穿着低胸衬衫弯腰的女人。
And then at 22, I started finding myself walking slowly along campus, or in supermarkets, or the library, hoping to see another accidental glimpse of something.

Trust me, he said.

服从太多是有可能的,遵循圣经的规则可能会让自己误入歧途。

To understand this next story, you have to understand this idea of a mitzvah.
要理解下一个故事,您必须理解成人礼的概念。
For religious Jews, a mitzvah is a good deed.
对于虔诚的犹太人来说,成人礼是一件好事。
They're supposed to fill their days doing these good deeds.
他们应该通过做这些善事来打发时间。

And remember, religious Jews count the commandments in the Bible-- they don't just have the big 10.
请记住,虔诚的犹太人会计算《圣经》中的诫命——他们不仅仅只有十大诫命。
They count, specifically, 613 commandments they're supposed to follow.
他们具体统计了 613 条他们应该遵守的诫命。
Well, the woman in this next story wanted to do one of the biggest mitzvot ever.

She was going to save somebody's life-- a stranger's life.
她要拯救一个人的生命——一个陌生人的生命。
But to do this, she was going to have to break another one of the commandments, the one about lying.

Sarah Koenig tells more.

And she means it.

And they also live in this tiny space together, a two-room basement apartment in Borough Park in Brooklyn, where they share a tiny bedroom and sleep in two tiny beds-- really cots-- that are about a foot apart from each other.
他们还一起住在布鲁克林区公园的一个两居室地下室公寓里,他们共用一间小卧室,睡在两张小床上——实际上是小床——彼此相距一英尺左右。
In this kind of setup, it's unimaginable that you could keep anything from your mother.
在这种情况下,你很难想象你能对你母亲隐瞒任何事情。
But Chaya had this whopper of a secret.
但查亚有一个天大的秘密。
She wanted to donate a kidney to someone, to a stranger, after seeing an ad in a Jewish newspaper taken out by somebody who needed one.
在看到一份犹太报纸上有一个需要肾脏的人刊登的广告后,她想将肾脏捐献给某人,一个陌生人。
The ad was, like, screaming out to me.
这则广告就像是在向我尖叫。
It said, save a life, be m'chaim, which means to fulfill a once-in-a-lifetime mitzvah.
它说,save a life, be m'chaim,意思是完成一生一次的成人礼。
It would be an uber-mitzvah.
这将是一个超级成人礼。
And she was going to do it, unless her mother found out first.
她打算这样做,除非她母亲先发现。
Her mother has a kind of phobia about surgery.
她的母亲对手术有一种恐惧症。
And also, like any parent, she would worry about all the things that could go wrong.
而且,像任何父母一样,她会担心所有可能出错的事情。
So Chaya didn't tell her mother about her plan, which took many, many months to put together.
所以查亚没有告诉她妈妈她的计划,这个计划花了很多很多个月才完成。
And she got away with it until her mother found some ads about kidney donation that Chaya accidentally left on the kitchen table.
她侥幸逃脱了惩罚,直到她的母亲发现查亚不小心留在厨房桌子上的一些有关肾脏捐赠的广告。
She lectured Chaya about it.
她向查亚讲授了这件事。
It's not for you.

I think she said to me, like, you can do any other mitzvah except this one.
我想她对我说,除了这个,你可以做任何其他的成人礼。
She just, like, did-- I didn't answer her.
她只是,就像——我没有回答她。
Well, but-- I mean, how old were you at this point?

But even if she didn't have a heart attack, it would give her so much suffering.
但就算她没有心脏病发作,也会给她带来如此多的痛苦。
And I didn't want to-- I never, ever liked to upset her.
我不想——我从来不喜欢让她心烦意乱。
Chaya tried to follow the commandment about not lying.
查亚试图遵守不说谎的诫命。
For her, lying is a sin, never mind lying to your own mother.
对她来说,说谎是一种罪过,更不用说对自己的母亲说谎了。
She could argue that not saying anything about the kidney transplant wasn't strictly lying, but as the surgery date got closer, Chaya couldn't cling to that technicality.
她可能会争辩说,不说任何关于肾移植的事情并不是严格意义上的撒谎,但随着手术日期的临近,查亚无法坚持这个技术细节。
She was getting a lot of phone calls.
她接到很多电话。
She had to go for medical tests all the time.
她必须一直去接受医疗检查。
When you would go out and get tests and do these things, where would you tell her you were going?

OK.

You know what?

I did have to give little white lies.
我确实不得不撒些善意的谎言。
And what were the white lies?
善意的谎言是什么?
Like, what kinds of things would you say?
比如,你会说什么?
I don't even want to go into details.

I'm embarrassed.
我很尴尬。
It wasn't bad.
这还不错。
I mean, I don't tell her anything bad, you know, like-- you know.
我的意思是,我不会告诉她任何不好的事情,你知道,比如——你知道。
Chaya feels so guilty that she lied to her mother she can barely talk about it.
Chaya 感到非常内疚,因为她对母亲撒了谎,她几乎无法谈论这件事。
And the lies just became more overt as the day of the surgery arrived.
随着手术当天的到来,谎言变得更加公开。
I had to spend the night before near the hospital.
前一天晚上我不得不在医院附近过夜。
What did you tell her?
你告诉她什么了?
Chaya Lipschutz Oh, gosh.
查亚·利普舒茨 哦,天哪。
I told her I was going to go to a friend's house.
我告诉她我要去朋友家。
It was a house.
那是一栋房子。
And my friend was there-- the person I was donating a kidney to, she was like a friend already.
我的朋友在那里——我要捐献肾脏的那个人,她已经像我的朋友了。
So-- oh, gosh.
所以——哦,天哪。
I had this huge bag, you know, to bring with me to the hospital.
你知道,我带着这个大包去医院。
Because I didn't want her to see how much I was taking, when my mother went to the bathroom that night before I left the house, I took my stuff, I think, out to the side of the house.
因为我不想让她看到我拿了多少钱,所以那天晚上我离开家之前,当我母亲去洗手间时,我想,我把我的东西带到了房子的一侧。
And left it there?
然后把它留在那里?
Chaya Lipschutz And left it there.
Chaya Lipschutz 把它留在那里。
And then I went back in the house.
然后我就回到了屋子里。
So this way, you know, I just-- I didn't leave with that much, maybe a shopping bag, to go-- oh, gosh.
所以这样,你知道,我只是——我没有带那么多东西,也许是一个购物袋,去——哦,天哪。
But you know what?
但你知道吗?
So that was hard for me, because I don't like to lie.
所以这对我来说很难,因为我不喜欢撒谎。
But that-- it was all to do a good thing.
但这——这一切都是为了做好事。
It wasn't anything selfish.
这不是什么自私的事情。
You know what I mean?
你知道我的意思?
It was all-- you know, sometimes you're-- listen, I don't want people to think you're allowed to do white lies, but sometimes you have to.
这就是——你知道,有时你——听着,我不想让人们认为你可以说善意的谎言,但有时你必须这样做。
Sometimes you have to.
有时你必须这样做。
You have no choice.
你别无选择。
I'm doing this to save another person's life, so I'm sure, as a result of what I did, God's going to forgive me for all those white lies.
我这样做是为了拯救另一个人的生命,所以我确信,由于我所做的事情,上帝会原谅我所有这些善意的谎言。
It's one thing to plan to donate your kidney and not tell your mother.
计划捐献肾脏而不告诉你的母亲是一回事。
It's another thing to actually have your organ removed and not tell your mother.
实际上切除你的器官而不告诉你的母亲是另一回事。
So Chaya had to figure out some way to break it to her once it was a done deal.
所以查亚必须想办法在事情敲定后向她打破这个局面。
And her scheme for doing this is so complicated, it makes all the earlier lies look really junior varsity.
她的计划非常复杂,这使得之前所有的谎言看起来都像是初中大学的谎言。
What happened is that, by chance, the same week of her surgery, somebody told Chaya about this 23-year-old Hasidic woman who had also donated a kidney to a stranger.
偶然发生的事情是,就在她接受手术的同一周,有人告诉 Chaya,这位 23 岁的哈西德派妇女还向一位陌生人捐献了一个肾脏。
And I met this very lovely young woman, Feigi.
我遇到了一位非常可爱的年轻女子,菲吉。
I said to her, would you be willing to tell my mother-- to come over to my mother's house after the surgery and tell her that she donated a kidney and then tell her, by the way, I donated a kidney, and I'm in the hospital right now?
我对她说,你愿意告诉我妈妈吗?手术后到我妈妈家去告诉她,她捐了一个肾,然后告诉她,对了,我捐了一个肾,我现在在医院?
Like, let her be the one to tell her because my mother will see that she's healthy, she looks healthy, and she's young, and she doesn't look like she had major surgery a few months earlier.
就像,让她自己告诉她,因为我妈妈会看到她很健康,她看起来很健康,而且她很年轻,而且她看起来不像几个月前做过大手术。
And so I told her, call my mother and tell her this way that you have tzedakah-- charity-- to give to one of my mother's charities.
所以我告诉她,给我母亲打电话,告诉她你有 tzedakah(慈善机构)可以捐给我母亲的一个慈善机构。
And that was a good way to get into the house.
这是进入房子的好方法。
And I arranged it that my kidney recipient's family is going to call her after the surgery.
我安排我的肾脏接受者的家人在手术后给她打电话。
So she called my mother.

And of course, my mother waited.

And so she sat down with her, and she said she donated a kidney.
于是她和她坐下来,她说她捐出了一个肾脏。
And my mother looked at her up and down and says, she's normal and healthy and she just did something like that three months earlier.
我妈妈上下打量了她一眼,说,她很正常,很健康,三个月前她就做了那样的事。
And she came with a cute little baby.
她还带着一个可爱的小宝宝来了。
And then she said to her, by the way, your daughter's right now in the hospital, and she did the same thing.
然后她对她说,顺便说一句,你女儿现在在医院,她也做了同样的事情。
To everyone's relief, Chaya's mother did not have a heart attack.

It was like it was just exactly according to my script, the way everything worked out.
就好像这完全按照我的剧本进行,一切都按部就班地进行。

She's just proud of Chaya, which is what Chaya wanted all along.
她只是为 Chaya 感到骄傲,这也是 Chaya 一直想要的。
Last month, Chaya's brother, inspired by her, donated his kidney to a stranger.
