课文

1.It’s surgery of the soul, the loving, healing way to create new beginnings out of past pain.这是心灵的外科手术，充满爱心，疗效显著，可以摆脱过去的伤痛，开创新的起点。2.You are not alone.We all muddle our way through a world where even well-meaning people hurt one another.A friend betrays us;a parent abuses us;a spouse leaves us.然而，有此不幸者，绝非你一人。混沌尘世间，无人可独善其身；好心好意，也会互有伤害。会有朋友的背叛，会有父母的错怪，会有配偶的弃离。

3.Hate is our natural response to deep and unfair hurts.A woman wishes her former husband would be miserable with his new wife.A man whose friend has betrayed him hopes the friend will be fired from his job. 仇恨，是我们对刻骨铭心、天理难容的伤害的自然反应。女人会诅咒她的前夫与新妻子不得安生，男人会因朋友背叛而希望人家丢了饭碗。

4.Hate is a malignancy that festers and grows, stifling joy and threatening our health.It hurts the hater more than the hated.It must be cut out — for our own sake. 仇恨是一种会化脓、膨胀的恶性肿瘤，扼杀我们的快乐，威胁我们的健康；它对恨人者的伤害比对被恨者的伤害更大。为了我们自己，我们必须消除仇恨。

5.Confront your malice.None of us wants to admit that we hate someone, so we hide it from ourselves.But the fury denied rages beneath the surface and infects all our relationships. 直面你的怨意。没有人会承认自己仇恨某人，因此，我们都把仇恨藏在心底。但这种深藏的怒火在我们心底燃烧，感染着我们的人际关系。

6.Admitting our hate compels us to make a decision about the surgery of the soul we call forgiving.We must acknowledge what has happened, face up to the other person and say: “You did me wrong.”

 承认心中所藏的仇恨，可促使我们决定对称之为“宽恕”的心灵做一次外科手术。我们必须承认既成的事实，勇敢地面对对方，说出：“你对不住我了！”

7.Separate the wrongdoer from the wrong.The Bible describes, in the ancient drama of atonement, how God took a bundle of human sins off man’s back, tied it to a goat, and sent the “scapegoat” to a “solitary land”. 区别对待犯错之人与所犯之错。《圣经》中记载了古代的赎罪情节，上帝从人类的脊背上集拢了一大捆罪恶，绑到了羊的身上，然后把这只“替罪羊”遣送到一个“荒无人烟的地方”。

8.Forgiving is finding a new vision of the person who has wronged us, the person stripped of his sins — who really lives beneath the cloak of his wrongdoing. 宽恕，就是找到一个新的视角看待那个曾经错待我们的人，那个与他所犯罪过剥离的人——实际上，他是生活在他以往过失的外衣之下。

 宽恕意味着用一种新的眼光去审视伤害我们的人，排除他的过错，看看那不道德的外衣下究竟是一个什么样的人。

9.Persuasive arguments have been made against forgiving.Some say that forgiveness is unjust because the wrongdoer should not be let off the hook.Others say forgiveness is a sign of weakness.Bernard Shaw called it “a beggar’s refuge”. 有些巧言善辩之人反对宽恕。有人说：宽恕之举缺乏公正，因为不应该让犯错之人逃之夭夭。还有人说：宽恕之举是一种软弱的表现。肖伯纳称之为“乞丐的庇护所”。 10.Vengeance never evens the score.It ties both the injured and the injurer to an endless escalator of retaliation.
