Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

喜樂屬於對公義有饑渴感受的人,  因為他們必得飽足.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

喜樂屬於為公義受逼迫的人,  因為天國是他們的.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

二月二十八日的曠野筵席充滿了喜樂的菜餚，敬請朋友盡情品嚐。

「你們要在主里面常常喜樂，我再說，你們要喜樂！」（腓  4:4）

因為客觀的環境，保羅和巴拿巴，被迫要离開在彼西底的安提阿的門徒，再往前去（徒13:50）。他們提早离開這個剛成立的教會，可能會產生什么后果呢？在那教會里已有了一小群初信者，他們只是在基督信仰里作吃奶的嬰孩，他們有否懇求使徒們繼續居留在那里，好照顧他們屬靈上的成長？比方：「如果你們現在离開了，那我們就好像羊群沒有了牧人一般。」「其實，最低限度你們也得留下一位來餵養我們！」「世上逼迫這么厲害，沒有你們幫助，我們怎能抵擋得住呢？」他們是否如此向使徒提出這些理由？  沒有。他們并沒有這樣請求，圣經還很奇妙的記載：「門徒滿心喜樂，又被圣靈充滿！」（徒13:52）他們沒有因保羅和巴拿巴的离開，而難過或悲傷，反而在主里大大喜樂！為什么呢？因為使徒們的暫時离開他們，才可叫別人有机會傳講寶貴的福音。不但如此，他們自己也從神那里直接得著照顧和供應，因他們都被圣靈充滿了！

"Rejoice in the Lord always, I say again, rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4)

Paul and Barnabas have to leave the church in Pisidian Antioch to somewhere due to circumstances changing,  (Acts 13:50). What could be the consequences of their early departure from this just established church? In this church, there were a few of new christians who were but as babes in Christ.  Wheather they entreat the apostles to remain there for taking care of their spiritual growing in the following reasons: "If you leave us alone, now we would be like sheep without a shepherd."  "Actually, at least one of you must stay to take care of us!" "The persecution is so severe that we can not stand against it without your help. Did they augue with apostles using these reasons?  No, they didn't say anything, but there is a wonderful record in the Bible recorded a wonderful saying as follows  : "The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and joys!" (Acts 13:52). They didn't feel sorry only Paul and Barnabas leave temporary for moveing forward. Great joy in the Lord!  Why? Because of the apostles left them for a while, others could have the opportunity to help preaching the gospel. Not only that, but they themselves are directly cared for and provided for by God, because they are all filled with the Holy Spirit!

310 中翻英(50) How to pay attention to interpretation from Chinese to English。 如何提防在中翻英時出錯。 2/27/2023

 310   中翻英(50)            How to pay attention to interpretation from Chinese to English。                                                                                            如何提防在中翻英時出錯。                            2/27/2023

一般翻譯學者都注重翻譯的理論, 我們只求達到以中翻英為熟悉學習英文文法的途徑。在網路上有層出不窮的說法, 今舉例說明 :

        1.  增加:  編輯者認為是注意在將中文翻成英文時, 要特別在翻成的英文句子中添上主語和動詞, 因為在中文句子中, 習慣於忽略它們。

         例如,    中文            希望您長命百壽。                                                                                                                   英文翻譯     Hope you long life。     (這中式英文, 應加上 "I" 和  "a"   )                                                                       I hope you a long life。 

         2.  減少及改變: 我認為是把不必要的拿掉, 換句話說, 不要把所有的中文都翻在英文句中. 並                且要加以變化           

         例如, 中文             她說, "做得太好了."                                                                                                                英文翻譯     She said, "Well done. "  (這是中式英文, "了"字不必要.  "她說"  應放句尾.)                                           "Well done. " She said。    

二月二十七日的曠野筵席實在太豐富,   您只要常常仰望主,  靠信心禱告懇求,  就必得著。 

「凡仰望祂的，便有光榮，他們的臉，必不蒙羞。」（詩  34:5）

我們需要提防過度注意主觀這一方面的屬靈經歷，以免逐漸的轉向自己，而落在自己里面。讓我現在以電燈作為此事的比喻，你坐在一個黑暗的房間里，渴望電燈放亮，可供你閱讀書報。在你寫字台上擺著一盞台燈，你怎樣辦呢？你是否一直注視著那盞燈，盼望它立即放亮？或者，你是否手里拿著擦髒布，不斷地擦那個燈泡？絕對不是這樣！你乃是站起來，走到安裝電燈開關的地方，扭開了開關，讓電流通到那盞台燈上，房間就立即大放光明了！你應該把注意力集中于能力的源頭，當你在那邊与能力的源頭有了适當的接触，這邊就必有光。永遠盯住神在基督里為你所已經成功的事實，然后讓祂去負責進行在你身上的工作。

"Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame." (Psalm 34:5)

We need to beware of paying too much attention to the spiritual experience of ourselves, lest we gradually turn to self-righteous and fall within ourselves. Let me now use the electric-bulb lamp as a illustration. You are sitting in a dark room and longing for the lamp turning on, so that you can read. The lamp is on your desk, what can you do?  Do you just expecting that lamp to turn on light immediately? Otherwise, do you keep continue wiping that light bulb with a rag in your hand? Absolutely not! You just go to the electric switch setting and to flip it on, letting the current flow into the lamp, and immediately the room is bright! You should focus on where the bright is coming from.  When you get in proper contacting with the source switch there, the light will be on. Always keep your eyes focus upon what God has accomplished for you in Christ, and then let Him be responsible for doing the work on you.

309 中翻英(49) My ears had heard of You but now my eyes have seen You. ... 我從前風聞有祢, 現在我親眼看見祢.....(約伯記 42:5) 2/26/2023

 309   中翻英(49)            My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You. ...                                                                       我從前風聞有祢, 現在我親眼看見祢.....(約伯記  42:5)        2/26/2023

親愛的訪友, 編輯者的基督信仰不是道聽途說, 而是親身經歷。約伯記的這段記載是編輯者永遠可以向你們作見證的。耶穌基督仍然活著, 祂活在我的心裡。

還記得1955年在台大法學院應考時, 若不是恩師鄧岳宗英文老師收留我寄住他家兩天(他家距台大法學院只有五,六分鐘的徒步行程)是不會記起那繁難的數學不等式(inequality)的証明, 就得不到數學62分, 英文72分(只有作文與翻譯兩種題目)考進台大。朋友, 這絕不是偶然, 這上帝的安排。

 二月二十六日的曠野筵席是信心的大餐。千萬請來享有。若沒有信心的真實(the   reality   of   Faith),   你就無法進入。

「并將万有服在祂的腳下，而且將祂賜与教會，作為超乎一切的元首。教會是祂的身體，是那充滿万有者的丰滿。」（弗  1:22-23直譯）

不要把屬天的基督看為高不可攀，還居天上而需要你去憧憬，去達到的一种理想。要看見祂是神所已經賜給你的禮物。你常感屬世事物的吸引，把你拉下去。其實它們如不能把基督拉下去，也照樣不能拉你下去，你不信嗎？讓我舉一個比喻：在我的寫字台上有一些黃花，我在進入房間之際，無需口中喃哺不絕，反复地說「台上必定有黃花，台上必定有黃花，」然后由于這种「自我暗示」，那些黃花才魔術化地出現。不！不是這樣！那些黃花是早已經在那里，我只要張開雙眼便欣賞到它們。

我們的信心不是拼湊出來的，乃是扎根于神在基督里所已經成功永遠的事實，我們若肯放膽把我們的信心投在這些事實上面，圣靈必立刻出來顯明它們的真确。只要你看見你是在基督里（是千真万确的事實），那么，你便不只不會被拉下來，反而被祂的大能托上去。

"And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head of everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way." (Ephesians 1:22-23 literally NIV).

You don’t regard the heavenly Christ as an unattainable ideal, an ideal that you need to dream of , and to achieve because you still live in heaven. You have to see Him as a gift that God has given you. You are often attracted by worldly things and pull you down. In fact, if they cannot pull Christ down, they cannot pull you down either, don't you believe? Let me give you an analogy: There are some yellow flowers on my desk, and when I enter the room, I don’t need to murmur and repeat, “There must be yellow flowers on the desk, there must be yellow flowers on the desk,” and then because of this "Self-suggestion", those yellow flowers appeared magically. No! It's not like that! Those yellow flowers are already there, I just need to open my eyes to see them.

Our faith is not like the fragments to put together, but rooted in the eternal facts of what God has accomplished in Christ. If we are bold enough to put our faith on these facts, the Holy Spirit will immediately come out to reveal their reality. As long as you find that you are in Christ (which is a reality), then instead of being pulled down, you will be lifted up by His power.

308 中翻英(48) Never give up! 永遠不要放棄! 2/25/2023

308                         中翻英(48)                 Never give up!                 永遠不要放棄!                  2/25/2023

我們親愛的主耶穌基督, 我今來到祢面前認罪悔改，求祢作我的主和救主。求祢現在就進到我心中，赦免我的罪。奉主耶穌的聖名禱告。 阿們。

·       亲爱的访友,  编辑者今年九十二歲,以经历上帝的慈祥与怜悯作证, 祂是信实的, 现在仍施怜悯赦免我自以为是的骄傲的大罪.  只要你照着上面的祷告,  心中默默的祈求祂,  你一定会谦卑在祂面前,  立刻感受到内心的喜乐和真平安.  

·       英文造句, 以“中翻英” 的方法来讲习, 现在已经進行到48次了. 编辑者感到用它在学习英语造句上是比较实際.  以我近七十多年学习英文的经验, 认为离开母语──中文, 要想來到講英語的外國来学习英文,不是容易的事,只是理想.  

·      例如我們可以用下面中翻英的方式來學習, 

·                  她看到猫.                           She saw a cat.                   (你學了這麼久的簡單英文文法,肯定知道要用                           過去時制的動詞"saw", 並且加不定冠詞"a")。

·                 散步是很好的运动.   Walking is a good exercise.   (動名詞作主語" Walking" 作主語)。 

                     她爱吃糖.                   She loves to eat candy.          (不能用兩個動詞,所以要加"to")。 

)

今今天2月25日的曠野筵席肯定合您的口味

「有一個使女名叫羅大，出來探听，听得是彼得的聲音，就歡喜顧不得開門，跑進去告訴眾人說，彼得站在門外。他們說，你是瘋了！」（徒12:13-15上半）

有些人告訴我，雖然他們想要信托主，但他們心里仍然有著疑懼和懮慮。他們將請愿陳明在主面前，并且抓牢神的應許，然而，疑惑還是不斷的出現。我很喜歡題起彼得從監獄被釋放出來的故事。當他在敲門的時候，教會正切切為他禱告！弟兄們听見敲門的聲音，就喊說：「這是他的天使」！

今日有些人宣稱他們的信心，比當日聚集在馬利亞樓上禱告，那班門徒的信心更大。他們确實相信神要打發一位天使來，并將監獄的每一個門戶都打開。如果風吹來，他們就說：「彼得在打門呀！」如果雨打下，「又是彼得在叫門哪！」這些人的信心太過于輕浮和武斷。這种信心，不一定是那真實的信心。因為甚至那些最認識神的圣徒，他們的那种信心，毫無疑問地是必能帶下神的答應的，但他們仍小心翼翼，唯恐稍有疏虞，便中敵計而陷入錯誤里。

"A maidservant named Rhoda came out to inquire, and when she heard Peter's voice, she was overjoyed and did not open the door. She ran in and told the people that Peter was standing outside the door. They said, You are crazy!" (Acts 12: 13-15 first half)

Some people have told me that although they want to trust the Lord, they still have doubts and doubts in their hearts. They laid their petitions before the Lord and held on to the promises of God, yet doubts continued to arise. I like to bring up the story of Peter being released from prison. While he was knocking on the door, the church was praying for him! When the brethren heard the knock at the door, they cried out, "This is his angel!"

There are those today who profess a greater faith than the group of disciples who gathered in Mary's Upper Room to pray. They really believed that God would send an angel and open every door of the prison. If the wind blows, they say, "Peter is knocking at the door!" If the rain is falling, "Peter is knocking at the door again!" The faith of these people is too light and arbitrary. This kind of faith is not necessarily the true faith. For even those saints who know God best, whose faith will undoubtedly bring God's answer, are still cautious, lest they should be inadvertently, and fall into the error of the enemy.

307 中翻英(47) Can it work by practicing from translation Chinese into English? 練習中翻英能幫助英文造句嗎? 2/242023

307    中翻英(47)          Can it  work by practicing from translation Chinese into English?

                                                       練習中翻英能幫助英文造句嗎?                                     2/242023

   編輯者認為用“中翻英”的練習方法来學习英语造句可以試試。  理由是:  第一, 没有適當学习英文的环境。其次是找适当的課外補習老师不容             易。並且也不是用全部中翻英.而是使学生听到你读英语的声音, 学生更要放声隨著诵读.  其次是多用中翻英的方式学习英文造句来补充英文造句练习.

例如:         她不是大学生吗 ?        英文翻譯     Is she a university student?

         你喜不喜欢我?                     英文翻譯 Do you like me ?  

          你是从什么地方来的?         英文翻譯  Where did she come from ? 

另外, 在中文有用 “吧”加 “?”

 例如:   你是中国人吧 ?                   英文翻譯  You are Chinese, right?

 

請品嚐二月二十四日的曠野筵席。我們有基督信仰會等待聖靈帶領我們進入真理。

「只等真理的圣靈來了，祂要引導你們進入一切的真理。」（約16:13）

在屬靈的經歷上，有一件事是确定的，那就是啟示是在信心之前。看見和相信，是管治基督徒生活的兩大原則。當我們看見父神在基督里為我們所成功的事實，我們自然的反應是從信心里流露出一句話：「神阿，我感謝你！」啟示乃是圣靈的工作，祂輔隨著神的話，也解開神的話來，就引導我們進入一切的真理。我們應當全心信賴祂，因祂在世上的任務就是為此。我們若缺少了悟性，或缺少了信心，我們便當將這些難處直接的帶到主面前，并向祂陳明：「主阿，求你開啟我的眼睛！將這事向我顯明。主阿，我的信心不足，求你幫助。」祂決不會不注意我們這樣的禱告。

"When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13)

One thing is for certain in spiritual experience, and that is revelation precedes faith. Seeing and believing are the two great principles controlling the Christian's life. When we see the fact that God the Father has accomplished for us in Christ, our natural reaction is to say from our faith, "I thank you, O God!" Revelation is the work of the Holy Spirit, who accompanies God. He also explains the word of God and guides us into whole truth. We should trust Him with all of our hearts, for that is His mission on earth. If we were short of understanding or lack of faith, we should bring these difficulties immediately to the Lord and talked to Him: "O Lord, please open my eyes! Reveled this to me. My Lord, I am short of faith, please help." He will pay attention to listen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

306 中翻英(46) How do we use "it" correctly? 請注意 "it" 在中翻英時的重要 2/23/2023

 306   中翻英(46)      How do we use "it" correctly?       請注意 "it" 在中翻英時的重要       2/23/2023

＂it ＂在中翻英時的重要。不知訪友有沒體會到在英文中, "it" 使用的頻繁。 这字詞在中英文互译时是關鍵之处.  英文句子的重点多在句尾, 所以讀英文時, 千萬要注意讀到句尾;  然而, 中文句子的重點常在句首。在互譯時, 次序就弄颠倒了。

      例如:   1. 要我用英文来思想很困难. It is difficult for me to think in English.

  (不能写成, ‘I am difficult to think in English.’ 这是帶中文语氣的英文。)  

  2. 保罗对法文很容易就了解.  It is easy for Paul to understand French.

      (不能写成, ‘Paul has no difficulty in understanding French.  不合英文的習慣說法。)

又如:

　　      3. 我们能准確今夜到达嗎?  Are we possible to arrive there tonight?  (错的)

（像中式英语, 這樣翻 “Is it possible for us to arrive there tonight? ” 才合英文的習慣說法。)

     4  .  我怀疑我能否学习它们.       I wonder if I am possible to learn it. (错的)

               ( 要如此翻才合乎英美人士习惯用法. “I wonder if it is possible for me to learn it.”  若译成,                     “I wonder if I can learn it.” 比较简洁.)

            5.   考试对我们来说不容易.         We are uneasy to take examinations. (错的)

( 正确的译法. “ It is not easy for us to take examinations.”)

6. 对你来讲方便吗?                    Are you convenient?  (错的)

      (正确的译文是:  Is it convenient for you?)7.

7. 什么时候打电话给你方便?   When shall you be convenient for me to cal1?  (错的)

       (正确的译法是:  When will it be convenient for me to cal1 on you?)

 今日 --- 二月二十三日的曠野筵席應適合您的口味,   敬請享用.

「那日大衛懼怕耶和華。」（撒下6:9）

我們大概對烏撒的慘死這一件事，心里覺得很困惑。大衛犯了無知識的錯，用一輛新車來運送神的約柜，就是万軍之耶和華留名的約柜。（撒下6:2）大衛此舉似乎是很安全很周到的辦法，但人的意見，無論怎么好，終于仍要顯出是何等謬妄可怜。到了拿艮的禾場，因為牛失前蹄，約柜就搖動，于是烏撒伸手扶住神的約柜，要使它穩定。他雖然熱心誠意的為著神的榮耀而如此做，但他卻立刻死了！難怪大衛因此而心里愁煩。

是神的約柜保護以色列人，不是以色列人保護神的約柜。誰曾听見守衛森林的人要保護老虎呢？這是從所未有的事。照樣，神更不需要人來保護祂，因祂足能充裕有余的照顧祂自己。許多事情是應該讓神來做的，但人卻搶先的做了；許多時候我們應該仰望祂來說話，但我們卻搶先的說了，許多計划我們應該等候神來安徘，但我們卻預先安排了。我們常常如此抗議：「為何我不可以講道呢？我定規要講！」哦！這些都是我們在事奉上的罪。我們中間有誰未曾這樣得罪過神呢！但是感謝神，如果我們承認自己的罪，祂是信實的，公義的，祂必定寬恕赦免我們。

"David was afraid of the Lord that day." (2 Samuel 6:9)

We are probably perplexed by the tragic death of Uzzah(烏撒). David made the mistake of ignorance, and used a new cart to transport the ark of God, the ark of the covenant that the Lord of hosts has put his name on. (2 Samuel 6:2) David’s move seems to be a very safe and thoughtful way, but no matter how good people’s thoughts are, they will eventually be revealed how absurd and pitiful they are. When they arrived at the threshing floor of Nagan(拿艮), the ark shook because the oxen stumbled, so Uzzah stretched out his hand and took hold of the ark of God to stabilize it. Although he did it with zeal and sincerity for the glory of God, he died immediately! No wonder David was troubled by this.

It is the ark of God that protects the Israelites, not the Israelites who protect the ark of God. Who ever heard of forest guards wanting to protect tigers? This is unprecedented. Likewise, God does not need man to protect Him, because He is more than sufficient to take care of Himself. Many things should be done by God, but people did by mistake of ignorance first; many times we should look upon to Him for hearing, but people are speaking first; we should wait for God to rest in many plans, but we arrange them in advance.  We often protest ourselves like this: "Why can't I preach? I must preach for gospel!" Oh! That are our sins in ministry. Whoever has never offended God like this! But thank God, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just, and He will forgive and delivery us.

 

305 中翻英(45) Wretched man as I am! But He saved me. 我真苦, 感謝上帝拯救我。2/22/2023

305  中翻英(45)   Wretched man as I am! But He saved me.   我真苦, 感謝上帝拯救我。2/22/2023

编辑者多次經過對副词的使用, 發覺它的確很重要. 例如, 形容词的使用判定比较简单, 只要认定在它后面的词汇是名词或代名词, 就可决定要用形容词, 不会错的.  可是要找出副词就不那么容易, 因为副词可在句中的任何位置出现, 所以, 在句子中发现一个修饰语时, 先思索它是否是形容词, 若不是形容词, 那肯定就是副词,但得加以注意它是否是修飾動詞或其他詞類,不能是名词或代名词 .

舉例說明,good 是形容词, well 是副词.  这兩個修飾詞字,在使用上常被混淆.

      例如:       Your English is good. 但是用well 时, 须说 You speak English well.   

(good是用來修飾 'English' 它是名詞,well 是修饰动词,'speak'.)

          Ruth is a good pianist. 但是用well时, 须说Ruth plays the piano well.

(good是用來修飾 'pianist' 它是名詞,well 修饰动词plays.)

又如,     我玩網球,但是不精.

         翻成英文,  I play tennis but I'm not very good.       

                                  我考試的成績很好.

    翻成英文, My exam results were very good.

                                  你考得很好.                   

            翻成英文, You did very well in your exams.

二月二十二日的曠野筵席一盤苦菜,   朋友,   請您慢慢吃出它的甘苦。

「感謝神，借著我們的主耶穌基督 ......」（羅7:25）

「我真是苦阿！誰能救我脫离這取死的身體呢？」（羅7:24）這句話曾經是保羅的絕望呼喊，但剎那間，啟示的亮光一閃，他立即從絕望的嘆息里轉變為贊美的歡呼了！

保羅得釋放后的頭一句話是至寶貴而值得我們三思的：假使有一個人遞給你一杯水，你致謝時，必是面向著給你水的那一位，而不是向著其他不相干的人。

保羅為什么要說：「感謝神」呢？因為這事是由神作成的，做工的是神，成全的也是神，一切都來自神，出于神。倘若是保羅自己做成的，那么，他就應該說感謝保羅，而不是感謝神了。他深深看見自己的徹底無能，敗坏不堪，深知他蒙釋放是出于神，全然是神做的，所以他感謝神。

上帝要包辦一切，因為祂要得完全的榮耀。在我們蒙赦免方面，神在十字架上為我們所做的，樣樣齊備無缺，沒有留下一樣需要我們做的；在我們得釋放方面，祂也照樣為我們做齊全了，沒有留下一樣需要我們去做。一切都是祂做，徹頭徹尾是祂做。「是神在你們里面工作。」（腓立比書   2:13  新國際版 ）

"Thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 7:25)

"Wretched man as I am! Who can deliver me from this body of death?" (Romans 7:24) This sentence was once Paul's desperate cry, but in an instant, the light of revelation flashed, and he immediately recovered from the despair. Sighs turned into cheers of praise!

Paul's first sentence after he was released is the most precious and worthy of our consideration: If someone hands you a glass of water, when you thank him, you must face the person who gave you the water, not to other irrelevant people .

Why did Paul say, "Thank God"? Because this thing is done by God's work , He does the work, and  He completes it. Everything comes from God and He create it. If Paul had done it himself, then he would have said thanks to Paul, not to God. Paul saw deeply his extremely powerness and sinful man, and he knew that his delivered was done by God and was entirely from Him.  That why he gave God his thanksgiving .

God is going to do all,  because He's willing to be fully glorified.  God has forgiven all sins from us on the cross, leaving nothing; He has delivered us in the same way, leaving nothing uncompleted. He does it all, He does it all for you. "God works in you." (Philippians 2:13 NIV)
