《意隐故事---明玉轮》夏意隐

79、布道（1） 不知道是提

　　不知道是提前就计划好的，还是有了记录言行这个想法后的临时起意，Moonlord（月主）今天早上就要去到Silver Orb（明玉轮）。

　　幸福一件接一件，又全部都如此突然。

　　黎鸦拿上相机，从Moonlord（月主）在房间梳洗一路到上车，她都举着相机、寸步不离。

　　Moonlord（月主）：“I’m thinking maybe we could make it into a documentary or something. That would be fun. You know many people are curious about what is like being me.（我在想也许我们可以把它做成一个纪录片。那应该很有意思。你知道，很多人都对于我很感兴趣。）”

　　他正对着镜子，用剪刀修剪胡子。

　　Moonlord（月主）：“Looking good?（看起来还好吗？）”

　　他转过头，面对镜头。

　　黎鸦：“Perfect.（完美。）”

　　（虽然事实上她想说：长成这样就是把胡子编成小辫儿都没用的。）

　　他笑了笑，转过头，又象征性地剪了两剪子。

　　黎鸦：“What are we going to do there？（我们要去干什么？）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“We haven't had a teaching session in a while. I think it’s time we did one today, and you can document the whole thing.（我们有些日子没有进行布道了，我想今天该做了，正好你可以完完整整地记录下来。）”

　　黎鸦：“What is teaching usually about?（布道通常都是关于什么的呢？）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“You'll know soon, won't you? People think being in the position I am is a blessing, but it's not. If they see these records, they will understand: with great power comes a corresponding duty and responsibility. When I attained this cosmic wisdom, when I became able to see the path of redemption for all, I knew I had to bring this revelation to every soul. I am obligated to lead everyone to a sinless life, to purify their stained souls, and to bring them to the ‘Moon Palace’ in the world beyond. （你马上就要知道了不是吗？人们觉得身居高位是很美好的事情，但是不是的，我想如果人们看到这记录的话就会明白，一个人拥有多少能力就需要相应的履行多少义务和承担多少责任。当我获得这种宇宙智慧、当我能够看清人们的救赎之路时，我知道我必须把这样的启示带给每一个人。我有义务让所有人都过上无罪的生活，净化他们肮脏的灵魂，并在这一世后将他们带往‘月宫’。）”

　　黎鸦：“I really look forward to that.（我很期待。）”

　　她只是随口一应。

　　Moonlord（月主）：“To what? The teaching or going to the ‘Moon Palace’?（期待什么？布道还是去‘月宫’？）”

　　黎鸦：“Bo... Both.（呃... 都期待。）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“ Well, you are in the Moon Palace right now. Speaking of that, I actually look forward to the Full Moon more, do you? We are going to hold the Full Moon Ceremony, and after that, it's just going to be you and me. Are you excited?（你现在就在月宫。说到这个，我其实更期待满月，你呢？我们将会举行满月仪式，在那之后，就是你和我的二人时间了。你激动吗？） ”

　　黎鸦：“Yeah... I'm really nervous about that.（当然... 我很紧张。）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“Understandable, it's normal. There's a first time for everyone——Wow, back to my counseling time.（情有可原，这很正常。每个人都要经历第一次——天啊，这些话让我想起了之前做咨询的时候。）”

　　对，黎鸦也想起眼前的人曾是一位倾听过无数生命不可承受之重的心理学家。

　　黎鸦：“You haven't been doing counseling for a long time.（你很长时间没做咨询了。）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“You can say that, but I consider myself doing the same thing, or even better, I'm saving souls.（可以这么说，但是我认为我其实在做同样的事，甚至更好，我在拯救灵魂。）”

　　沉默。黎鸦没能接得上话。

　　Moonlord（月主）：“Here comes the question——can we really save lives as counselors or psychologists? Some of my students think they can. Just because they learned some theories, they now think they know it better, they think they can solve the life problems that the clients themselves can't. Do people suffer because they are stupid?（问题来了——作为咨询师和心理学家我们真的能够拯救生命吗？我的一些学生觉得他们可以。就因为他们学了一些理论，他们觉得他们高于众人，他们觉得他们可以解决当事人解决不了的世间问题。人们是因为愚蠢所以才饱受折磨吗？）”

　　黎鸦：“I don't think so.（我不这么觉得。）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“Right? Anyone who lives more than twenty years should be able to conclude that. So what can save people?（对吧？任何一个活了超过20年的人都应该能够认识到这一点。那么什么可以拯救生命呢？ ）”

　　黎鸦：“I don't know.（我不知道）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“Faith.（信仰。）”

　　黎鸦：“Faith? Why?（信仰？为什么？）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“Because faith gives suffering a reason, a value, and a solution. You don't have to think, it tells you what to do and you will do it, knowing as long as you do it, it will get better.（因为信仰给了苦难一个原因，一种价值，和有一条解决的道路。你不需要去思考，它会告诉你怎样去做，而你就会这样去做，因为你知道只要你去做，事情就会变好。 ）”

　　黎鸦：“But what if it doesn't get better? Would they still believe it?（那如果没有变好呢？它们还会继续相信吗？）”

　　Moonlord（月主）：“As long as you believe it, it will get better; if it doesn't, then you don't really believe it.（只要你相信，它就会变好；如果没有，那只说明你并不真正相信。）”
