論奇跡 On Miracle
In Sunday school， the minister was trying to illustrate the word miracle. “Boys and girls，” he said， “suppose I stood on the roof of a ten-story building， lost my balance and fell off. Then all of a sudden in midair， a whirlwind swept me up and brought me safely to the ground. Now what word would you use to describe this？”
After a long silence a boy raised his hand and said， “Luck？”
“True， ture，” replied the minister. “It could be luck - but that's not the word I wanted. I'll repeat the story. There I am on top of the ten-story building again， and I fall. A whirlwind catches me in midair and places me safely on the ground. Think now - what word would decribe the situation？”
“Accident，” cried out one girl.
“No， no，” answered the minister. “Listen carefully for the third time. I'm on the same building； I fall and am swept to safety by a sudden whirlwind. What word could account for my safely reaching the ground？”
The boys and girls shouted in unison：“Practice！”
在主日學(xué)校里，牧師正舉例說明“奇跡”一詞的意義。“孩子們，”他說：“假如我站在一座十層高的樓頂上，失去平衡掉了下來。在跌落到半空中時(shí)，突然刮來一陣旋風(fēng)，把我舉起來，使我安全著陸。想想看，該用什么詞來描繪這件事？”
很長時(shí)間沒有回答。后來一個(gè)男孩舉手說：“運(yùn)氣”
“好吧，好吧，”牧師回答說：“可以說是運(yùn)氣，不過那不是我想要的詞。我再講一遍這個(gè)故事。我還是在一座十層高的樓頂上，從上面摔下來。一陣旋風(fēng)在半空中把我托住，使我安全返回地面。好好想一下，該用什么詞來描繪這一情景呢？”
“意外，”有個(gè)女孩大聲說。
“不對(duì)，不對(duì)，”牧師說：“你們仔細(xì)聽，再聽一遍。我還是在那座樓頂上，摔下來時(shí)被一陣突然刮來的旋風(fēng)托住，轉(zhuǎn)危為安。用什么詞來解釋我安全返回地面這事？”
孩子們齊聲叫道：“反復(fù)練習(xí)！”
