“什么也不要害怕，永远也不要害怕，不要生烦恼。只要你心里不断忏悔，上帝会饶恕一切。只要真心忏悔，在整个世界上没有、也不会有一种罪孽上帝不加饶恕的。一个人也决不可能犯那么大的罪孽，甚至都无法再享有上帝那博大无边的爱。难道还能有连上帝的爱都无法包容的罪么？你只管一心忏悔，把害怕通通赶走。你要相信，上帝爱你，爱得出乎你的想象，哪怕你带着罪孽，对有罪的你也还是爱的。天上对一个忏悔的人，比对十个循规蹈矩的人还喜欢，这是早就说过的。你去吧，不要害怕。不要迁怒于人，不要为受耻辱而生气。死者侮辱过你，你在心中饶恕他的一切，同他真正地和解吧。你既能忏悔，就能爱。你能爱，就是上帝的人了，……爱是可以赎回一切、拯救一切的。连象我这样和你一般有罪的人都怜惜了你，上帝还用说么。爱是无价之宝，可以赎回全世界的一切，

Now I'm going to spend an hour translating it!

PS: You should post in Chinese more often ;)

Yeah. The RealLife bitch is being less bitchy these days, so I got time to write. Sadly not enough time to translate a poem or so (not that I'll do even have more than enough time, my translation is horrible). You'll get more Chinese post coming this way!

PS. Shall I *try* to translate the post for you?

That is lovely! Does a priest say it? I've never read the Brothers Karamazov.

"天上对一个忏悔的人，比对十个循规蹈矩的人还喜欢" - strange, my mum was quoting that just yesterday. I think it's more or less a Bible quote, actually, though we aren't church-goers.

Yes, it is. And no, neither have I. It's looooooong...

You can read the full quote here. I quote it from my favorite writer, who wrote about the Long Karamazov.

The Bible seems has already been a part of daily life, church-goer or not. I mean, I'm supposed to be an antitheist...
