As the Lord God was creating the world he called upon his archangels. The Lord asked his archangels to help him decide where to put the Secret of Life.
上帝创造世界的时候召来了他的天使长们,请他们帮助决定应该把生命的秘密放在哪里。
"Bury it in the ground," one angel replied.
“把它埋在地下。”一个天使答道。
“把它放到海底。”另一个说道。
"Hide it in the mountains," another suggested.
“把它藏在山里。”又一个天使建议。
The Lord replied, "If I see to do any of those, only a few will find the Secret of Life. The Secret of Life must be accessible to EVERY-ONE!"
上帝回答说:“如果我照你们说的方法做的话,那么这个世界上只有一小部分人能找到它。而我希望每个人都有可能找到生命的秘密!”
One angel replied, "I know: put it in each man's heart. Nobody will think to look there."
一个天使答道:“我知道了,把它放在每个人的心里。没有哪个人会想到它被放在那儿。”
"Yes!" said the Lord. "Within each one's heart."
“对啊!”上帝非常赞同,“放在每个人的心里。”
And so it was —— The SECRET OF LIFE lies within all of us.
于是真的——生命的秘密就在我们每个人的心里。
