...One morning I woke up earlier than usual, and right away I decided to paint, but I could not find any canvas in my studio. My family was still asleep, so quietly, still in my pajamas, I searched my art closets and found one small canvas that I'd worked on a few years ago, but later gessoed it in black. 这天早晨我起来的比往常要早，我立刻决定要去作画，但是在我的画室中却找不到任何画布。我家人任然在睡觉，于是，身上还穿着睡衣的我，就静悄悄地在我的艺术用品储存柜中寻找，并终于找到了一块小画布。这是几年前的我用过的，但是后来我把它涂黑了。

After my prayer I began painting a young woman's portrait. next to a branch of fruit. Suddenly I felt God say, blend all the races, because this is Eve, the mother of all mankind. 祷告之后，我开始画一位年轻女子的肖像，附近有一颗树枝。忽然间，我感觉到上帝在说，要把所有的种族融在一起，因为，这位，就是夏娃，全人类的母亲。

Right then and there, I understood the meaning:
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is full of forbidden fruit: red for the knowledge of evil, the green for the knowledge of good. It was created to be tempting, fragrant and easy to be picked. Although the fruit resembles the grapes, it was not. 就在那一刻，我马上就明白了其中的含义：善恶的树上的果子充满了禁果，红色的，是关于恶的知识，绿色的，是关于善的知识。这些果子很诱人，很香，也很容易摘。虽然这些果子很像葡萄，但却不是。

At first, Eve thinks that she will gain wisdom by biting into the fruit of knowledge, but unexpectedly she finds the deception as the red blood of suffering drips from the green fruit. The knowledge of good and evil is simply too much to understand and experience for a human, and now Eve is looking up to God for forgiveness and help... 一开始，夏娃以为，她在吃了禁果后，会得到智慧，但是，出乎她的意料之外的是，从绿色的禁果中所滴出来的，却是红色的血液。她开始意识到，吃善恶果对人来说，是难受的经历，于是夏娃就请求上帝饶恕并帮助她。。。。。。
