中英文小故事：最好让我们谁都不受伤 美国拳击手杰克，每次比赛前必先安静地祷告一会儿。 一个朋友问他：“你在祈祷自己打贏这场比赛吗？” 他摇摇头，说：“如果我祈祷自己打贏，而我的对手也祈祷打贏，那上帝会很难办的。”朋友感到奇怪“那你到底在祈祷什么？” 杰克说：“我只是祈求上帝让我打得漂漂亮亮的！最好让我们谁都不受伤！” 对于一个必须要将对手打倒在地而后生的拳击手，上场前竟然向上帝祈求这么一个愿望,实在令人叹服。 Better None of Us Would Be Injured The American boxer, Jack, would always pray quietly for a while before each match. A friend asked him, “Are you praying to win the game for yourself?” He shook his head and said, “If I pray to win and my opponent makes the same wish, it will be a sticky business for God.” The friend felt very strange. “Then what on earth are you praying for?” “I am just begging God to let me play a good game! Better none of us would be injured!” said Jack. For a boxer who would survive only by defeating his opponent, it was really impressive that he unexpectedly prayed to God for such a wish before match. opponent 对手；敌手 sticky 棘手的；困难的 |
