以下内容纯属闲聊。
学英语，应该对圣经有所了解。阅读英语圣经对学习是有益的，对人生或者也有些许帮助。
圣经有很多版本，从 KJV （King James Version）到 ASV （American Standard Version） , TEV （Today’s English Version），不一而足。选择一本合适的版本可以事半功倍。
从前单位与美国一公司合作，野外作业一两年就结束了，室内部分持续了近十年，这期间一直与国外员工相处。他们来自世界各地，其中Ian Vincent 沉默寡言，来自澳大利亚; Denis Prevett 来自迈阿密，有点像 神探亨特 里的男主角，我经常叫他亨特，他自称 Pervert。我做技术支持兼翻译。某天在终端写个简单的文本加密程序，Ian 看到后就聊起来，说他能破解。我觉得不会很容易，一言不合就打个小赌，他解出来送他一瓶红酒，解不出来给我一本圣经。我加密了新概念4里的澳洲野兔泛滥那篇文章给他。结果一周过后，他没解出来，休假时如约带回来一本 TEV 版本的圣经。后来与 Denis 聊天，问他能否在教堂获得免费的圣经，他说回去时看看，结果也弄了本 ASV 版本的。相比起来，我还是喜欢 TEV 版本的，也就是 Today’s English Version，用简易流畅的当代英语写成，读起来没有丝毫困难，尤其是加上小标题，更是画龙点睛之作。
翻开 创世纪，赫然见到第一个标题： The Story of Creation. 什么？创世纪故事？这是一个故事吗？不是基督教认定的不可怀疑不能否认的事实吗？有点意思。
In the beginning, when God created the universe, the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water.
Then God commanded, “Let there be light”—and light appeared.
God was pleased with what he saw. Then he separated the light from the darkness, and he named the light “Day” and the darkness “Night.” Evening passed and morning came—that was the first day.
从书中读到更多有趣的内容。
Psalm 137： A Lament of Israelites in Exile
By the rivers of Babylon we sat down;
there we wept when we remembered Zion.
On the willows near by
we hung up our harps.
Those who captured us told us to sing;
they told us to entertain them:
“Sing us a song about Zion.”
读这首诗篇，不知道是否有人想起那些年流行的摇滚歌曲 By the rivers of Babylon，那首歌节奏感非常强烈。
Song of Songs 3：
Asleep on my bed, night after night
I dreamed of the one I love;
I was looking for him, but couldn’t find him.
I went wandering through the city,
through its streets and alleys.
I looked for the one I love.
I looked, but couldn’t find him.
圣经里的情歌，竟然可以这么温柔多情，不亚于诗经里的关关雎鸠，更接近我们熟悉的生活。
路得记（Ruth）用平和的语调讲述了一个美丽、带有一点凄惨色彩、最后以喜剧收场的故事。内奥美丈夫和儿子都死了，要返回故乡，儿媳妇路得要跟回去，内奥美劝她不要跟随，回你的老家吧，神已经不眷顾我了。
So Naomi said to her, “Ruth, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Go back home with her.” But Ruth answered, “Don’t ask me to leave you! Let me go with you. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and that is where I will be buried. May the Lord’s worst punishment come upon me if I let anything but death separate me from you!”
When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more.
They went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived, the whole town became excited, and the women there exclaimed, “Is this really Naomi?”
“Don’t call me Naomi,” she answered; “call me Marah, because Almighty God has made my life bitter.
后来路得有幸嫁了个善良正派的富人亲戚，生下儿子 Obed，内奥美收为养子，即是大卫的祖父，耶稣的远祖。
传道书 里有篇 Life Is Useless， 悲观消极之极，有忧郁症倾向的人不能看。我幸好是过了忧郁症的阶段，不过每次阅读都感到挺难受的。
These are the words of the Philosopher, David’s son, who was king in Jerusalem.
It is useless, useless, said the Philosopher. Life is useless, all useless.
You spend your life working, laboring, and what do you have to show for it?
Generations come and generations go, but the world stays just the same.
The sun still rises, and it still goes down, going wearily back to where it must start all over again.
The wind blows south, the wind blows north—round and round and back again.
Every river flows into the sea, but the sea is not yet full. The water returns to where the rivers began, and starts all over again.
……
还有 Ecclesiastes 12：
So remember your Creator while you are still young, before those dismal days and years come when you will say, “I don’t enjoy life.”
That is when the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars will grow dim for you, and the rain clouds will never pass away.
Then your arms, that have protected you, will tremble, and your legs, now strong, will grow weak. Your teeth will be too few to chew your food, and your eyes too dim to see clearly.
……
箴言 的最后一篇， The Capable Wife，描述了一位理想的贤妻。假如以之为比较，不知会有多少人会痛心疾首？
How hard it is to find a capable wife! She is worth far more than jewels!
Her husband puts his confidence in her, and he will never be poor.
As long as she lives, she does him good and never harm.
She keeps herself busy making wool and linen cloth.
She brings home food from out-of-the-way places, as merchant ships do.
She gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family and to tell her servant women what to do.
She looks at land and buys it, and with money she has earned she plants a vineyard.
She is a hard worker, strong and industrious.
She knows the value of everything she makes, and works late into the night.
……Charm is deceptive and beauty disappears, but a woman who honors the Lord should be praised.
Give her credit for all she does. She deserves the respect of everyone.
箴言 劝诫人们行善去恶，到今天都还是有意义的。如这段：
Don’t take advantage of the poor just because you can; don’t take advantage of those who stand helpless in court.
The Lord will argue their case for them and threaten the life of anyone who threatens theirs.
Don’t make friends with people who have hot, violent tempers.
You might learn their habits and not be able to change.
Don’t promise to be responsible for someone else’s debts.
If you should be unable to pay, they will take away even your bed.
旧约讲述创世后到基督出生前的历史，新约讲述基督出生、传道、受难升天、使徒传教的历史。比起新约，还是旧约更有趣。纸质书有简笔画插图，非常生动传神，十分喜欢，只是网页没有配上。自己扫描，工作量太大，暂时放弃。
在这动荡巨变之时代，大家更需要多多阅读圣经，传播福音，行善积德。愿万能的上帝保佑大家。阿门。
，同事亨特太幽默了吧，自称Pervert ；By the rivers of Babylon不错， 那些年的荷东迪士高也很好听
