所以我要告诉你我的一个经历。 So I'm going to tell you about one of mine.
一个关于我见过的最美事物的故事。 A story of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
当我在大学时，我有机会在另一个国家度过一个学期的海外学习。 When I was in college, I had this opportunity to spend a semester studying abroad in another country.
那个国家是奥地利。 That country was Austria.
我们所有的学生都住在瑞士阿尔卑斯山边缘一个叫戈明的小镇上的一座古老修道院里。 All of us students lived in this old monastery on the edge of the Swiss Alps in a little town called Gomming.
有一次，我发现自己正在爬一座我认为是巨大的山，我们到了一个树木开始稀疏的地方。 So this one time I found myself hiking up what I thought was this massive mountain, and we get to a part where the trees kind of clear out.
我转身，第一次从山上往外看，因为没有树木遮挡，我终于能看清了。 And I turn around, and for the first time I look out from the mountain because there was no trees I could finally see.
当我往外看时，我意识到我们所在的所谓的「山」只是一个山麓。 And when I look out, I realize that the mountain, quote unquote, that we were on was just a foothill.
在我面前有一座巨大无比的山，让其他一切都显得如此渺小。 And there was this massive, massive mountain right in front of me that made everything else seem so tiny.
我可以俯瞰整个城市，它是如此广阔。 And I could see down into the city, and it was so big.
我记得这景象让我不由自主地坐到地上，看着这一切，只能说「神啊」。 And I remember it pushing me literally back onto my butt and looking at all of it and just going, God.
这话就从我的灵魂深处冒出来了。 And it just came out of my soul.
就像是「神啊」。 Like, God.
我只记得当时感觉这是我经历过的最美的事物。 I just remember feeling like this is the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced.
但当我回想那一刻，尽管它如此美好，奇怪的是它却转瞬即逝。 But as I look back on that moment, as beautiful as it was, the weird thing is it was fleeting.
就像一瞬间就过去了。 Like, it went by in a second.
我们徒步下山，现在我有了这段记忆，但已经不是同一回事了。 And we hiked back down the mountain, and now I have this memory, but it's not the same thing.
那一刻被定格在时间里，没有以同样的方式继续伴随着我。 That moment was suspended in time and didn't carry on with me in the same way.
我们生命中所有最美好的经历都是短暂的。 All of the best experiences in our lives, they're fleeting.
它们只持续几个瞬间，然后就成为了回忆。 They just last a few moments, and then they're a memory.
就好像我有这些永无止境的渴望，却永远无法完全满足。 It's like I have these unending desires for things that can never fully be satisfied.
这很有趣。 And that's interesting.
我们有很多这样的渴望，我们也有所谓的自然欲望。 So we have a lot of these desires, and we have what's called natural desires.
对于自然欲望，每种欲望都有一个可以满足它的对象。 For natural desires, every desire has an object that can satisfy that desire.
所以当你饿了，「天啊，我好饿」。 So when you're hungry, man, I'm so hungry.
有食物。 There's food.
当你口渴时，「我好渴」。 When you're thirsty, I'm so thirsty.
有水。 There's water.
当你疲倦困乏时，「好累啊」，你可以睡个觉。 When you're tired and sleepy, so tired, you can take a sleepy time.
这不好吗？ Is that not good?
我们有这些自然欲望，但那些更深层的渴望呢？ So we have those natural desires, but what about these deeper desires?
比如幸福、真理、美、善。 Things like happiness, truth, beauty, goodness.
这是一条直线。 That's a straight line.
让我们来谈谈幸福。 So let's talk about happiness.
前几天我有一件事让我很开心。 I had something that made me really happy the other day.
我吃了一个冰淇淋三明治。 I had an ice cream sandwich.
那让我很开心。 That made me pretty happy.
味道很不错。 It was pretty good.
我喜欢冰淇淋三明治。 I like ice cream sandwiches.
你多久吃一次冰淇淋三明治？ How often do you have an ice cream sandwich?
作为一个成年人，我其实不经常吃冰淇淋三明治。 As an adult, I don't really have ice cream sandwiches that often.
但它让我很开心，不过和我30岁生日相比还是不能相提并论。 But it made me pretty happy, but that couldn't compare with actually my 30th birthday.
它无法与那个冰淇淋三明治相比。 It didn't compare to that ice cream sandwich.
我是说，我的30岁生日真的很棒。 I mean, my 30th birthday was pretty awesome.
然后即使那也比不上我们全家一起度过的那次家庭假期。 And then even that didn't compare to this family vacation that our family took.
那真的很棒。 That was really great.
就像每年一样，我觉得我们应该再来一次这样的假期。 Like every year, I think we should go on a vacation like that again.
虽然生日派对或冰淇淋三明治让我很开心，但那次家庭假期是无法比拟的。 And as happy as I was during a birthday party or an ice cream sandwich, that family vacation couldn't compare.
它超越了它们。 It topped them.
所以这些都是不同的经历，带来不同程度的幸福。 So these were all different experiences that had different levels of happiness.
我们有这些不同的幸福体验，或者我们可以谈论美、真理或爱，但它们都是短暂的。 So we have all these different experiences of happiness, or we could talk about beauty or truth or love, but they're all fleeting.
你知道，我们在地上经历这些，但它们从未完全满足我们。 You know, we experience these here on earth, but they never fully satisfy.
我们总是不安。 We're always restless.
我们总是在寻求更多更多的幸福、真理或美。 We're always seeking more and more of this happiness or truth or beauty.
在我们经验之外确实存在着无限的美、爱和真理，能够完全满足我们不安的心。 There does exist something outside of our experience that is infinite beauty, love, and truth that can fully satisfy our restless heart.
即使是无神论者让-保罗·萨特也承认，总有一天人会问， 即使是对莎士比亚，即使是对贝多芬，难道就只有这些吗？ Even the atheist Jean-Paul Sartre admitted that there comes a time when one asks, even of Shakespeare, even of Beethoven, is that all there is?
伟大的基督教作家C.S.路易斯说，如果我发现自己有一种欲望，这世 界上没有任何经历能满足，最可能的解释是我是为另一个世界而造的。 C.S. Lewis, the great Christian author said, if I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.
所以我们探讨了很多这些不同的经历和欲望，这些欲望是好的。 So we've explored a lot of these different experiences and desires that we have, and those desires are good.
就像我们渴望那些美好的事物，比如真理、美、善和冰淇淋三明治。 Like we have desires for things that are good, like truth and beauty and goodness and ice cream sandwiches.
我们有这些自然欲望，有对应的对象来满足这些欲望。 We have these natural desires that have an object that answer those desires.
然后我们还有这些更深层的欲望，可以在地上体验到，但从未被完全满足。 And then we have these deeper desires that can be experienced here on earth, but they're never fully satisfied.
这些更深层的欲望使我们不安。 These deeper desires make us restless.
存在着能满足那些更深层欲望的东西，那就是神。 There exists something that can satisfy those deeper desires, and that something is God.
事实是，对这些更深层事物的渴望写在我们心上，因为对神的渴望写在我们心上。 And the truth is that the desire for these deeper things is written on our hearts because the desire for God is written on our hearts.
我们的心将不得安宁，直到在祂里面安息。 And our hearts will be restless until they rest in Him.
只有祂能真正满足我们那些深层的渴望。 Only He can truly satisfy those deep desires we have.
