在它独特的性质之中，不朽与永恒的价值连接到童年即使在那些有异于生命里更广泛阶段的点上

The

are

attacchildhood

its

unique

phases.内在正确性

事实上，童年对后来生命阶段的贡献，不是它本身内在正确性的唯一标准

The

fact

that

it

contributes

to

the

later

stages

of

lnot

the

sole

criterion

of

童年必须在它自己内有价值，这价值将在那快跟我们相遇的不可言喻的未来重新被发现

mystery两个“开始”这奥秘有一个“开始”的力量就是向那天主的“绝对开始”开放祂是完全的奥秘。。。

This

mystery

has

the

force

of

a

beginningwhich

is

open

to

the

absolute

beginning

ofGod

who

is

utter

mystery

…神的爱是不可言喻和永恒的、无名的

和正是因为这样，以天主的身份接受这种在神的本性里面的爱，身为天主的，祂主持万物。。。the

and

eternal,

and

precisely

as

such

…始

在我们生命的开始，我们实在不知道童年是什么意思

We

do

not

really

know

what

childhood

means

at

thebeginning

of

our

lives终

直至我们生命的终点来临，我们才知道这童年是什么意思

Until

we

know

what

that

childhood

meanswhich

comes

at

the

end

of

them.天国以天主赋予的悔改与皈依我们领受天国因为，除了天主以外，没有人可以复活我这个“死我”

By

God-given

repentance

and

conversion,

we

receive

thekingdom/reign

of

God.

Because,

no

one

can

resu

rect

my“dead

self”

except

God.儿童所以成为儿童

（谷10：15）因为耶稣已把自己放在弱小者当中And

so

become

children

(Mark

10:15)Because

Jesus

had

located

himself

among

the

weak.八十定三岁？

正是在这个意义上，我们才能够从孩子的将来，辨别出儿童生命的开始we

the

futu反映这儿童是“可以言喻”的但是，在天主的“不可言喻”中找到源头我们也可以说：童年反映主爱

The

child

is

“effable”

but

finds

his/her

origin

in

Godineffability.

Or

we

can

say,

childhood

mirrors

God’s

l控制这孩子要努力抵制由成年人来控制

The

child

is

to

resist

efforts

by

adultscontrol.名字这孩子时常在永恒的门槛而存在因此，为孩子取名字是有重大意义的因为这孩子是被主爱所接纳

The

child

exists

always

at

the

threshold

of

the

eternal,

thus,

thenaming

of

the

child

is

significant

because

the

child

is

accepted

in接纳天主在祂的天主性内常常以爱外展去接纳受造物，但是。。。

God

in

God’s

divine

nature

always

reaches

oto

accept

creatures

in

love,

but

…拒绝

这孩子也许经常否认、漠视、或甚至拒绝天主的爱，还有，当它被反映在父母和其他人的脸、手臂、和行为上

The

child

may

often

deny,

ignore,

or

even

repudiate

theof

God,

also

when

it

is

reflected

in

the

faces,

arms,

andof

parents

and

others.爱的痊愈爱的痊愈，无论如何，可以经常开始当这小孩被允许和鼓励对那“永恒”保持开放因此，他/她有能力接受神爱的标记这也就是婴儿领洗的价值

Recovery

of

love,

however,

always

can

begin

whenthat

little

child

is

allowed

and

encouraged

to

remainopen

to

the

eternal

and

thus

is

able

to

receive

love.

This

is

the

value

of

infant

baptism.纵然

纵然这小孩诞生在一个不测、风险、意外和随机发生事情的世界。。。

Though

the

child

is

born

into

a

world

of

accidenchance,

contingency,

and

happenings

being.基础原本童年是永远保存在我们心中童年是成年的基础，这是“童真成年”

Original

childhood

is

preserved

in

our

hearts

forever.Childhood

is

the

foundation

of

adulthood.

This

is

“chiadulthood.”生命状态

因此，为我们来说，生命是我们的原本童年永远被保存着的一个状态。。。

Thus,

life

becomes

for

us

astate

in

which

our

originalchildhood

is

preserved

forever

…期盼在这个状态，我们开放去期盼那意想不到的去向那不可估量的委身

A

state

in

which

we

are

open

to

expect

theunexpected

,

to

commit

ourselves

to

theincalculable

…力量一个以力量资助我们仍然能够去发挥的状态这个状态使我们认识到，主持我们存在的种种能力比我们自己的计划伟大从而顺从它们的指挥，作为我们最深的好处

A

state

which

endows

us

with

the

power

still

to

be

able

to

recognize

that

在生物的意思里，属于孩子的这个童年，只是另外一个童年的开始、前奏、预尝和许诺，这童年将临在于这个成熟的人身上

The

childhood

which

belongs

to

the

child

in

the

biological

sense

is

onlybeginning,

the

prelude,

the

foretaste,

and

the

promise

of

this

otherchildhood,

which

is

present

in

the

mature

person.另一个童年

也许我们能够这样说，每人一定要去培养另一个“神圣童年”（参若1：12）

Or

we

can

say,

there

is

another

“divchildhood”

that

a

person

has

to

nurt(cf.

John

1:12).童年无限童年是一种开放人类童年是无限的开放Childhood

is

openness.Human

childhood

is

infinite

openness.成熟童年

成年人的成熟童年，就是我们勇敢和信任地维持一个在所有情况之下，都无限开放的一个态度，还有，不去管生命里种种看起来邀请我们去封闭自己的经验–这是人类的宗教存在

The

mature

childhood

of

the

adult

is

the

attituwhich

trustfully

maintain

童年，当它被视为在天主童年的基础上奠基，才能够被真正理解、才具体表现出它自己本
