Troubling Times
令人不安的时代
At the conclusion of this last political election (ending with my beloved country being more divided than ever) a friend wrote me a letter sharing her fears and concerns for the future. She ended it with this sentence: “We live in troubling times.” I couldn’t help but agree with her, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that these current times aren’t the only troubling times that mankind has lived through.
这次大选结束了,我挚爱的国家从未如此分裂过,而在结束之时,我的一位朋友给我写了一封信,向我诉说她的恐惧以及对未来的担忧。而最后她以这句话结尾:“我们生活在令人不安的时代。”我非常同意她的观点,但我更多地意识到的是,人类自古至今都会经历令人不安的时代,不仅仅是当今的时代。
Ancient times were troubling times when crops could fail and half of all children died before the age of five. The first Christians lived in troubling times where they were persecuted, tortured, and even killed for their beliefs.
远古时代是个令人不安的时代,庄稼可能歉收,一半的孩子会因此在5岁前死去。第一代基督徒也生活在动荡的时代,他们会因为坚持自己的信仰而被迫害、折磨、甚至杀死。
The fall of the Roman empire and the coming of the dark ages were troubling times.
