The Real Strength 真正的力量 詠菡◎編譯
The strength of a man isn’t seen in the width of his shoulders.
一個男人的力量不是由他肩膀的寬度來判斷，
It’s seen in the width of his arms that encircle and protect you.
而是那圍繞保護你的雙臂。
The strength of a man isn’t in the deep tone of his voice.
一個男人的力量不在他沉穩有力的聲調裡，
It is in the gentle words he whispers.
而在那低聲細語的溫柔字句間。
The strength of a man isn’t in the words he speaks.
一個男人的力量不是他所說出的言語，
It’s in how he keeps his word.
而是他如何言行如一。
The strength of a man isn’t how many buddies he has.
一個男人的力量無關他有多少朋友，
It’s how good a buddy he is with children.
而在於他是否能當孩子的好朋友。
The strength of a man isn’t in how respected he is at work.
一個男人的力量不是他在工作場合多麼受人尊重，
It’s in how he is respected at home.
而是他在家中如何被人尊敬。
The strength of a man isn’t in how hard he hits.
一個男人的力量不在於他用多大的力氣揮拳，
It’s in how tender he touches.
而在於他能多溫柔碰觸。
The strength of a man isn’t in the weight he can lift.
一個男人的力量不是他能舉起多重的東西，
It’s in the burdens he can carry.
而是他能承擔起多少的責任。
“Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”
－－Bible, Proverb 16:32
不輕易發怒的，勝過勇士；制服己心的，強如取城。
－─聖經 箴言16章32節
※ Something to Remember…
The real power is not the power to fight, but the power to love.
真正的力量不是打架時的力氣，而是付出愛的勇敢。
