186 英语语法应用(二)

186 英语语法应用(二)          A Matter of Faith    有关信心的问题                    11/11/2017

我们慈爱的天父, 求怜悯我, 若没有祢的同在和祝福, 这一生肯定活在情欲和傲慢的罪中.  求祢赐怜悯,  赦免我的罪, 使我顺服祢, 照祢的话去过日子.  更求祢不要丢弃我, 求祢使用我作祢爱的见证,  使祢神圣的慈爱和怜悯, 得以达到与我接近的人的生命中去.  愿一切荣耀赞美归于祢.  奉主耶稣宝贵的圣名祈求.  阿们.
1977年来到美国, 蒙上帝的怜悯已经存活了四十年.  要感恩见证主耶稣基督赐给我们得以存活的恩典, 并且丰盛.  所以把存在心中早要做的事──说明达尔文(Darwin) 为什幺要以他所信仰的“无神”为基础, 而提出没有上帝的假说 “演化论”,  硬要给“创造万物的上帝──主耶稣基督”不留一点空间.  这是有关信心的问题(A Matter of Faith).  演化论的假设需要物证,  而编辑者是要向世人见证我的基督信仰, 主耶稣基督仍然活着( God is alive) .  因为我自己就是祂亲自拯救的人,  是祂创造的.

"演化论”假设地球有45亿年老,  它真有这幺年老吗?

地球真有这幺老吗? (注: 编辑者在犹他州州立大学读“统计学”, 因为要论证水文学洪水流量的大小的假设, 必须借重水文站所得的必须充分的数据, 以统计方法来分析, 确认所命定的假设是正确的, 才能作防洪工程大埧埧高的设计的根据.)  演化论亦是要依据统计来佐证其假设, 也必须取得足够必须的样本 (necessary and sufficient samples) 来证明"演化论”的假设,  不知道达尔文要证明他的假设,  是否取得足够的化石样本,  能够佐证地球真有45亿年老.

上帝以 “各从其类” 创造人及万物.

上帝以 “各从其类” 创造人及万物.  至今科学家仍未找到演化过程的中间生物.  世界有历史记载总有五千年了, 为什幺仍然看不见一只猿猴变成人的中间过程的生物呢?  该问题非我所知, 暂且等待时间来印证.  但狗经过各种处理是可以演化成不同形, 性, 大小的狗, 但是絶对不会演化成猫或老鼠的. 这点我可肯定.  因在圣经创世記一章廿一节上帝说, “水要多多滋生有生命的物;要有雀鸟飞在地面以上,天空之中。上帝就造出大鱼和水中所滋生各样有生命的动物, “各从其类” ;又造出各样飞鸟,“各从其类”。上帝看着是好的。”  狗不会演化成猫或老鼠是根据创造万物的上帝的智能的设计的原则──各从其类.  编辑者深信上帝的儿子──耶稣基督拯救我的生命, 信靠祂是我生命的创造者, 信祂走上十字架, 受死, 埋葬, 第三天复活, 升天是为赎我的罪.  你可能会说我愚笨, 但我认为是谦卑. 我要一生跟随主耶稣, 得永生的盼望. 希望访友们也有同样的盼望. 
  
 “Matter” 一词在英语篇章或口语中都常常使用, 其意义往往被我国学习英语的青年所忽略.  今以例句加以说明.

英语语法在学习英语过程中是必须的.
It does matter to learn grammar in learning English.

No matter what you are, I still love you.

你聪不聪明没关系,  若不努力学习,你肯定会失败.

不管你做任何事,  如果永远不放弃,  你就会成功。
No matter what you do, you'll succeed if you never give up.  

你早到一点或迟一点都不要紧.
It's no matter whether you get there earlier or a little late. 

他不打电话没关系.
It doesn’t matter that he didn't phone. 

不管他说什幺,不要相信他.
No matter what he says, don't believe him.

Before 2000 years, the Lord Jesus Christ was conceived by Mary from the Holy Spirit. He was born by the virgin Mary.  He was growing in poverty and over humble.  He did not travel far; only once as in His childhood,  He fled from the King Herod, He left the border to Egypt.
在2000多年前主耶稣基督因马利亚从圣灵怀了孕,祂由童贞女马利亚所生.   耶稣生长于贫穷和微贱的环境.  祂没有远行过, 只有一次离开国境,  还是在孩童时期祂逃难到埃及.

He has never had a fortune, and His relatives are of mediocre, not trained or educated.
耶稣从未拥有过财势, 祂的亲朋也都平凡, 没有受过训练或正是教育.

But when He was born, He had made the king horrified, and as He was a child, He had made the teachers awkwardly. When He was grown up , He had ruled nature, walking on the water, and was able to calm down the waves.
但耶稣在诞生时, 就曾使国王惊骇;  在孩童时,  祂曾使教师们窘惑;  长成后, 耶稣曾管辖自然,  祂在水上步行;  且能喝令风浪平息.

He could heal the sickness of  persons without medicine and free.
耶稣不用医药而能治愈人的病, 又从不收费.

He never wrote a book, but all the libraries in the world did not have a book about his writings.

He never built a college, but the sum of the number of students in all schools was no more than his disciples.
耶稣从来没有建立一所学院,  但所有学校的学生人数的总和, 也不及祂的门徒多.

He had never led an army, nor had He recruited a soldier, nor had He ever fired a gun, but none of the leaders had so many volunteers. Under His inspiration, how many rebels had converted without  charge a bullet.
耶稣从来没有率领受过一支军队,  也没有招募过一兵一卒,  更没有开过枪,  但没有一个领袖能有祂那幺多的志愿兵.   在祂的感召之下,  多少叛逆者归降,  不费一粒子弹. 

He had never learned the spirit of healing, but healed many broken hearts, far better than all the ancient and modern doctors.
耶稣从未学过精神治疗,  却治愈了许多破碎的心灵,  远胜过古今的一切的医生.

He is not the king on the earth, but for two thousand years, one day in a week, countless people gather and worship and praise Him.
耶稣不是地上的君王,  但两千年来,  每星期有一天,  无数的群众聚集,  敬拜颂赞祂.

Nowadays, Christ Jesus is in the glory of heaven with God,  blessed with the angels,  worship by the saints, and the devil afraid of Him.  Jesus is the risen Christ, our personal Savior, and He is God.
如今, 祂在天上荣耀至高之处与上帝同在,  被天使称颂,  圣徒崇拜,  魔鬼恐惧.  祂就是复活的基督,  是我们个人的救主,  祂是上帝.

The Bible says,  “In the beginning was the Word”;  He is the true light;  He is the bread of life: and the Word became flesh into the world, and made His dwelling among us, full of grace and truth; we have seen His glory, the glory of God, and the only begotten Son, who is at the Father’s side, has made the Father known.
圣经上说, 耶稣是泰初就有的道;  是世上的真光;  是生命的粮.  祂道成肉身来到世上,  住在我们中间,  充充满满有恩典有真理;  祂让我们看见的荣光正是上帝的荣光,  只有这位父怀里的独生子将天父表明出来.

Jesus Christ is "the way, the truth, and the life";   His name is the only Name in heaven and earth that is God’s gift,  we can be saved by the holy Name; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
耶稣基督是  “道路,  真理,  生命”;  祂的名是天上地下唯一所赐,  可以靠着得救的圣名;  若不藉着祂,  没有人能到天父哪里去.


若您认为编辑者所见证的有道理, 请与我一同作以下的祷告:

亲爱的天父,耶稣基督,我们的主. 祢是创造宇宙的真上帝,降世为人,因为祢爱我,为我的罪死在十字架上,流宝血洗净我一切的不义,从死里复活,叫我得新生命。

我真诚的恳求祢,求主耶稣基督进入我心中,做我的救主,管理我的一生,请祢赦免我的罪;就是骄傲的大罪,没有遵从祢的话。从今以后,我要顺从祢的话。

求您赐我永生的盼望,就是祢的生命。赐我圣灵,引导我进入真理。赐我祢平安和喜乐,
让祢的爱充满我的心。

求祢看顾我的家,叫我们全家归祢, 享受祢的爱。我这样祷告,是奉主耶稣基督的名求,阿们。

英文的介系词 (prepositions) 有很多字,在许多场合,用或不用,用这个 或用那个,都是很困扰学习英语的朋友, 尤其是我国学习英文的年轻人, 主要原因是习惯用法, 非記憶不可. 
例如:
        火车正接近月台
        The train is approaching to the station.  (错.)
       ( 应译成  “The train is approaching the station”).
       这药能免除你那种痛苦.
        This medicine can relieve you that pain.  (错.)
        ( 要译成This medicine can relieve you of that pain. )
       那机器我很熟悉
       The machine is familiar with me.  (错.)
       ( 要译成The machine is familiar to me.)
       他惊讶于那消息
       He is surprised by the news.  (错.)
       ( 要译成  He is surprised at the news.)
      我大他十岁
      I am senior to him for ten years.  (错.)
      ( 要译成I am senior to him by ten years.)

读到一首打动心灵的诗, 愿与访友分享:

那双看不见的手               A pair of invisible hand

虽不见你,触不到祢           However,  not see You, not touch You

我知,祢正在对我低语         I know that You are whispering to me

我深知道你一直就在这里       I know You've been here all the time

重新抚慰,我那破碎的心田     Re-soothe my broken heart


是你声音,温柔话语           Your voice, gentle Words

主耶穌釘痕的手
编辑者5月27日因踏空楼梯摔倒在地板上, 谢谢爱我的主耶稣基督保护我, 没有跌断骨头, 稍微有些扭痛, 是主耶稣钉痕的手亲自托住我.  看着祂的钉痕手,  就想到主的疼痛, 我顿时忘掉自己一点点的扭痛!求主教导我, 不要那么在乎痛, 让我也能够被骂不还口.  让我时常, 想到祢钉痕的手, 知道我的疼痛, 永远不及祢的疼痛.

没有什么可说的.
There isn't much to tell.

再也没有我需要考虑的了.

  (不可写    'A new restaurant is in Washington Street ' )

交通频繁
There was a lot of traffic.
(  'It was a lot of traffic'  这样写不对)
