耶稣在看着你
鸭绒25(译)
2024年12月4日
一个窃贼闯入一户人家,在屋里四处搜寻。
他听到一个柔和的声音在说:“耶稣在看着你。”
他以为这只是他的幻觉。于是,继续他的搜寻。
那声音又说:“耶稣在看着你。”
他把手电筒的光转了一圈。看到一只鹦鹉在鸟笼里。
他问鹦鹉,是不是它在说话。
鹦鹉说:“是的。”
他问鹦鹉,叫什么名字。
鹦鹉说:“摩西。”
窃贼问:“什么样的人会给鹦鹉取名摩西?”
鹦鹉说:“和那些给自己的斗牛犬取名耶稣的人一样。”
注:1)“Moses(摩西)”为犹太人的先知,创立了犹太教。他的著名故事是带领以色列人出埃及,摆脱了以色列人被奴役的命运,成为以色列人的民族领袖。2)“Pit Bull(斗牛犬)”也被称为“老虎狗”、“牛头犬”,面恶心善,勇猛凶恶。常被用做护家警卫犬。3)对于窃贼的疑问,鹦鹉的回答表现了它的机智和幽默。别看它柔弱,它也能护家。
原文: Watched by Jesus
A burglar broke into a home and was looking around。
He heard a soft voice say:“Jesus is watching you。”
Thinking it was just his imagination,he continued his search。
Again the voice said:“Jesus is watching you。”
He turned his flashlight around and saw a parrot in a cage。
He asked the parrot if he was the one talking and the parrot said:“yes。”
He asked the parrot what his name was and the parrot said:“Moses。”
The burglar asked:“what kind of people would name a parrot Moses?”
The parrot said:“the same kind of people who would name their pit bull Jesus。”
