با سلام
Goolha گرامی متن بسیار معنی دار و پر
محتوایی رو انتخاب كردید، به نظرم اگر بتونیم ترجمه این كار رو در سایت تبیان (منظورم
در قسمت های موضوعی سایت) ارائه كنیم بسیار عالی خواهد بود، نظرتون چیه؟
ممنونم از دو دوست عزیزی كه در ترجمه این كار شركت كردند.
یك نكته مهم رو در مورد متن اشاره كنم، متن اولیه حاوی اشتباهات تایپی بسیاری
است كه در بعضی موارد موجب تغییر در معنا نیز می شود، به همین خاطر متن اصلی رو در
ادامه می آورم تا دوستانی كه ترجمه كردند، یك بازنگری در مورد ترجمه خودشون داشته
باشند و بقیه ترجمه نیز از روی آن ارائه شود.
An interview with God
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God
asked
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled
“My time is eternity”
“What questions do you have in mind for
me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?...”
God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood. They
rush to grow up and then long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money
and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the
future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor
the future.”
“That they live as if they will never
die, and die as if they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine and we were silent
for awhile
And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s
lessons you want your children to learn?”
God replied with a smile
“To learn they cannot make anyone love
them. What they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare
themselves to others.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one
who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in persons we love, and it takes many years to heal
them.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing
forgiveness.”
“To learn that there are persons who love
them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the
same thing and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not always enough that
they are forgiven by others. But that they must forgive themselves.”
“And to learn that I am here always.”
