228.女性的偉大
A little boy asked his mother "Why are you
crying？"
一個男孩問他的媽媽：『你為甚麼要哭呢？』
"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
媽媽說：『因為我是女人啊。』
"I don't understand," he said.
男孩說：『我不懂。』
His mum just hugged him and said, "And you never
will"
他媽媽抱起他說：『你永遠不會懂得。』
Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does mother seem to cry for no
reason?"
後來小男孩就問他爸爸：『媽媽為甚麼毫無理由的哭呢？』
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could
say.
『所有女人都這樣。』他爸爸回答。
The little boy grew up and became a
man,
still wondering why women cry.
小男孩長成了一個男人，但仍舊不懂女人為甚麼哭泣。
Finally he put in a call to God;
and when God got on the phone,
he asked, "God, why do women cry
so! easily?"
最後，他打電話給上帝；當上帝拿起電話時，
他問道：『上帝，女人為甚麼那麼容易哭泣呢？』
God said: "When I made the woman she had to be
special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight
of the world;
yet, gentle enough to give comfort"
上帝回答說：
『當我創造女人時，讓她很特別。
我使她的肩膀能挑起整個世界的重擔；並且，又柔情似水。』
"I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth
and the rejection that many times comes from her
children"
『我讓她的內心很堅強，
能夠承受分娩的痛苦和忍受自己孩子多次的拒絕。』
"I gave her a hardness that allows
her to keep going when everyone else gives up,
and take care of her family through sickness
and fatigue without complaining "
『我賦予她耐心，使她在別人放棄的時候繼續堅持，
並且無怨無悔的照顧自己的家人，渡過疾病和疲勞。』
"I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any
and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very
badly"
『我賦予她在任何情況下，都會愛孩子的感情，
即使她的孩子傷害了她。』
"I gave her strength to carry her husband through his
faults
and fashioned her from his
rib to protect his heart"
『我賦予她包容她丈夫過錯的堅強
和用他的勒骨塑成她來保護他的心。』
"I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts
his wife,
but sometimes tests her strengths
and her resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly"
『我賦予她智慧，讓她知道一個好丈夫是絕不會傷害他的妻子的，
但有時我也會考驗她支持自己丈夫的決心和堅強。』
"And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.
This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is
needed."
『最後，我讓她可以流淚。只要她願意。這是她所獨有的。』
"You see: The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she
wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her
hair."!
『你看，女人的漂亮不是因為她穿的衣服、
她保持的體型或者她梳頭的方式。』
"The beauty of a woman must be seen in her
eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart
* the place where love resides."
『女人的漂亮，必須從她的眼睛中去看，
因為那是她心靈的窗戶和愛居住的地方。』
