你知道房子和家的区别吗？ Do you know the difference between a house and a home?
我想我听过这样一句押韵的名言：房子是用墙壁和横梁建造的，而家是用爱和梦想建造的。 I think I've heard one of these rhymey quotes: A house is built with walls and beams, and a home is built with love and dreams.
那是拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生说的，对吧？ That's Ralph Waldo Emerson, right?
是的，或者说家是心之所在。 Yeah, or Home is where the heart is.
哦，那也是一句好话！ Oh, that's a good one too!
我能理解，当一个家庭住在里面时，像房子这样的物理建筑就不仅仅是一座建筑了。 I can get the idea that the physical building, like a house, becomes more than a building when a family lives there.
是的，是家人让房子变成了家。 Yeah, a family makes the house into a home.
它不仅仅是横梁和墙壁，不仅仅是物理建筑。 It's more than just the beams and walls; it's more than just the physical building.
但我担心，人们对「教会」这个词没有同样的理解。 I worry, though, that people don't have the same understanding of the word church.
你是什么意思？ What do you mean?
我们听过「教会」这个词很多次，但我们没有两个不同的词来指代它的不同含义。 We've heard the word church so many times, but we don't have two different words to refer to its different meanings.
有一座由墙壁和横梁组成的物理建筑，但「教会」这个词真正指的是更大的东西。 There's a physical building made of walls and beams, but the word church really is about something bigger.
「教会」一词来自拉丁语 ecclesia 和希腊语 ekklēsia。 The word church comes from the Latin ecclesia and from the Greek ekklēsia.
这意味着「召出」，在这里用来表示召集或集会。 This means to call out of, and here it's used to mean a convocation or an assembly.
在希腊文旧约中，ecclesia 经常用来指神面前被拣选之民的集会。 Ecclesia is used frequently in the Greek Old Testament for the assembly of the chosen people before God.
在教会中，神正在召集来自地极的子民。 In the church, God is calling together His people from all the ends of the earth.
听起来不仅仅是一座建筑。 Sounds like more than just a building.
正是如此！ Exactly!
教会是神的家庭。 The church is the family of God.
圣父从起初就计划了这个家庭，由耶稣建立，并藉着圣 灵将所有人联合在这个神的家中，也就是基督的身体。 The Father planned this family from the beginning, instituted by Jesus, and by His Holy Spirit brought into being to unite all people into this family of God, also known as the Body of Christ.
我们在信经中宣认教会有四个关键特征：教会是独一的、圣洁的、大公的、使徒的。 The church has four key characteristics that we profess in the Creed: the church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.
教会似乎具有可见和不可见的实在。 The church seems to have this visible and invisible reality to it.
教会是一个可见的实在，但也向我们传达不可见的属灵实在。 The church is a visible reality but also communicates to us the invisible spiritual reality.
教会是基督的身体，藉此我们与作为教会元首的耶稣联合。 The church is the Body of Christ through which we become united to Jesus, who is the head of the church.
这样，我们可以说教会是独一的，意思是在耶稣内合一。 In this way, we can say that the church is one, meaning it is united in Jesus.
我们在这个合一家庭中的成员身份始于洗礼，并在坚振和领受圣体时完成。 Our membership in this unified family begins with our baptism and is completed when we are confirmed and receive the Eucharist.
那么，这也包括历史上所有的人，对吧？ Well, that would include all people throughout all of time as well, right?
是的，神的家庭包括历史上所有受洗归入教会的人。 Yes, the family of God includes everyone who has been baptized into the church throughout all time.
我们都在神的家，即教会中合一。 We're all united and part of the family of God, the church.
教会并不完美，事实上，它充满了罪人，需要一位救主。 The church isn't perfect; in fact, it's full of sinners and in need of a Savior.
所有这些罪人藉着神恩典的帮助成为圣洁。 All of these sinners become holy through the help of God's grace.
历史上每个时代都充满了圣人，他们是罪人因耶稣的恩典和与教会联合而改变的美好榜样。 Every age throughout history has been filled with saints who are wonderful examples of sinners transformed by the grace of Jesus and their union with the church.
这些人是耶稣圣洁和爱在世上的见证人。 These people are witnesses to Jesus' holiness and love in the world.
这就是我们如何说教会是圣洁的。 This is how we can say the church is holy.
所以，是耶稣使我们成圣。 So, Jesus makes us holy.
是的，这意味着教会是对历史上全世界所有男女的邀请。 Yeah, this means the church is an invitation for all men and women throughout all time, throughout the whole world.
每个人都被邀请加入神的家庭，在基督和教会中合一。 Everyone is invited to join the family of God and to be united in Christ and the church.
这就是我们说教会是「大公」的真正含义。 This is what we actually mean when we say the church is catholic.
等等，我还以为那只是我们宗教的名称。 Wait, I thought that was just the name of our religion.
嗯，在某些方面是的，但这个词本身的意思是普世的或包含整体的。 Well, in some ways, yes, but the word itself means universal or containing the whole.
教会拥有信仰、真理、圣事和耶稣的丰满，自从耶稣建立教会以来，这丰满就一直存在。 The church has the fullness of faith and truth and the sacraments and Jesus, and this fullness has always been there since Jesus instituted the church.
教会不仅仅是一座建筑；拥有教堂建筑固然很好，但我们谈论的是神的家庭。 It's not just a building; it's great to have church buildings, but yes, we're talking about the family of God.
教会之所以是大公的，是因为它被赐予并派遣到全人类。 The church is catholic because it is given and sent out to the whole human race.
《公教会教理》说：「为了使祂所有因罪而四散迷途的子女重新团聚，圣父愿意召集 全人类进入祂圣子的教会。」《公教会教理》845。 The Catechism says in paragraph 845: To reunite all his children scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's church.
教会是人类必须重新发现其合一与救恩之处。 The church is a place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation.
教会就是与神和好的世界。 The church is the world reconciled.
我们说教会是独一的、圣洁的、大公的，但教会的一个非常关键的特质是使徒性。 We've said the church is one, holy, and catholic, but one very crucial quality of the church is that it is apostolic.
好的，我知道有跟随耶稣的使徒。 Okay, I know there were apostles that followed Jesus.
我们称跟随耶稣的门徒为使徒，因为他们被耶稣 派遣，作耶稣所教导一切的见证人和守护者。 We call the disciples who followed Jesus apostles because they were sent out by Jesus as witnesses and guardians of everything Jesus taught.
使徒是耶稣亲自拣选的特殊见证人，这些使徒传下了信仰宝库。 The apostles are special witnesses Jesus chose Himself, and these apostles hand on the deposit of faith.
我们今天还有使徒吗？ Do we have apostles today?
我们有使徒的继承人，称为主教。 We have successors to the apostles called bishops.
使徒传承意味着教会可以通过所有主教直接追溯到最初的使徒，最终追溯到耶稣。 Apostolic succession means the church can be traced back through all the bishops directly to the first apostles and ultimately to Jesus.
所以，教会是神的家庭，神邀请每个人进入这个家庭。 So, the church is the family of God, and God invites everyone to enter this family.
在这个神的家庭中，教会存在，在教会中，我们受邀与耶稣合一。 In this family of God, the church is, and in the church, we are invited to become united to Jesus.
凡属于神家庭的人都明白，教会不仅仅是一座建筑。 Everyone who is part of this family of God understands that the church is more than just a building.
教会是独一的、圣洁的、大公的、使徒的。 The church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.
教会是神的家庭，教会可以成为你的家。 The church is the family of God, and the church can be your home.
这是《公教会教理》。 This is the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
这是教会所写的关于公教信仰的官方总结。 It's the official summary written by the church of everything Catholic.
所以，它只是放在书架上积灰尘吗？ So, it just sits on the shelf collecting dust?
但如果这本教理的内容被解锁，它可以改变世界。 But if the contents of this catechism are unlocked, it can change the world.
你相信教理不是一本枯燥乏味的教科书吗？ Do you believe the catechism isn't a dry, dusty textbook?
它是一份礼物。 It's a gift.
它是渴望向我们启示自己的神的忠实回响。 It's the faithful echo of a God who desires to reveal Himself to us.
教理的核心是耶稣，耶稣改变人心。 The heart of the catechism is Jesus, and Jesus changes people.
我们只需要将教理重新转化为人们可以听到的活生生的声音。 We just need to re-transform the catechism into a living voice that people can hear.
