论奇迹 On Miracle
In Sunday school， the minister was trying to illustrate the word miracle. “Boys and girls，” he said， “suppose I stood on the roof of a ten-story building， lost my balance and fell off. Then all of a sudden in midair， a whirlwind swept me up and brought me safely to the ground. Now what word would you use to describe this？”
After a long silence a boy raised his hand and said， “Luck？”
“True， ture，” replied the minister. “It could be luck - but that's not the word I wanted. I'll repeat the story. There I am on top of the ten-story building again， and I fall. A whirlwind catches me in midair and places me safely on the ground. Think now - what word would decribe the situation？”
“Accident，” cried out one girl.
“No， no，” answered the minister. “Listen carefully for the third time. I'm on the same building； I fall and am swept to safety by a sudden whirlwind. What word could account for my safely reaching the ground？”
The boys and girls shouted in unison：“Practice！”
在主日学校里，牧师正举例说明“奇迹”一词的意义。“孩子们，”他说：“假如我站在一座十层高的楼顶上，失去平衡掉了下来。在跌落到半空中时，突然刮来一阵旋风，把我举起来，使我安全着陆。想想看，该用什么词来描绘这件事？”
很长时间没有回答。后来一个男孩举手说：“运气”
“好吧，好吧，”牧师回答说：“可以说是运气，不过那不是我想要的词。我再讲一遍这个故事。我还是在一座十层高的楼顶上，从上面摔下来。一阵旋风在半空中把我托住，使我安全返回地面。好好想一下，该用什么词来描绘这一情景呢？”
“意外，”有个女孩大声说。
“不对，不对，”牧师说：“你们仔细听，再听一遍。我还是在那座楼顶上，摔下来时被一阵突然刮来的旋风托住，转危为安。用什么词来解释我安全返回地面这事？”
孩子们齐声叫道：“反复练习！”
