過去簡單式

In The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote, “What is hell?

費多爾-陀思妥耶夫斯基在《卡拉馬佐夫兄弟》中寫道："什麼是地獄？

to 不定詞

I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”

我堅持認為，這是無法愛的痛苦"。

頻率副詞

Hell is usually imagined as a world after this one, where someone is punished and made

地獄通常被想象成在這個世界之後的一個世界，在那裡有人受到懲罰並被製成

to suffer, but that vision of hell never really spoke to me.

來受苦，但那個地獄的景象從未真正對我說過。

What Dostoevsky says is much more interesting and relevant to me, and when understood, I

陀思妥耶夫斯基說的東西對我來說更有趣、更有意義，當理解了之後，我

think one learns to see hell and heaven as real entities inside of ourselves, not just

認為人們學會了把地獄和天堂看作是我們內心的真實實體，而不僅僅是

As usual, I'm gonna explore this idea through a dialogue.

像往常一樣，我將通過對話來探討這個想法。

After years of reading and believing in the bible, a young student (S) had a sudden crisis

經過多年的閱讀和信仰聖經，一個年輕的學生（S）突然出現了危機

He went to the house at the end of his neighbourhood where it was rumoured that a retired priest

他去了他所在街區盡頭的房子，據說那裡有一個退休的牧師。

lived, one who had walked away from the church.

活著的人，一個已經離開教會的人。

The retired priest (P) allowed the student into his home, and after a bit of small talk,

這位退休的牧師（P）允許學生進入他的家，並在一番閒聊之後。

Do you believe there's really a heaven or a hell after we die?

你相信我們死後真的有天堂或地獄嗎？

我們永遠不會有任何證據，無論如何。

But there's one thing I am certain of: hell and heaven exist inside of us, right now.

但有一件事我是肯定的：地獄和天堂都存在於我們體內，就在此時。

P: Surely you know how it feels to suffer.

And well, heaven must be that place where we are free of suffering and conflict.

而且，天堂一定是那個我們沒有痛苦和衝突的地方。

但我怎樣才能使自己擺脫衝突？

Isn't it wanting something but not having it?

這不就是想要的東西卻沒有得到嗎？

S：嗯......是的，這似乎是正確的。

But as long as I'm living, won't I always want things I don't have?

但只要我還活著，我不就一直想要我沒有的東西嗎？

And as long as I want things I don't have, won't I suffer?

而只要我想要我沒有的東西，我不就會受苦嗎？

So are you saying my entire life will be suffering?

那麼你是說我的整個生命都將是痛苦的？

P: If you spend your life wanting things you don't have, then yes, your whole life will

P: 如果你一生都在追求你所沒有的東西，那麼是的，你的一生都會

But let me show you something: between wanting and having something there is a gap.

但讓我告訴你一些東西：在想要的和擁有的東西之間，有一個差距。

The bigger the gap between wanting and having something, the bigger the conflict.

想要的東西和擁有的東西之間的差距越大，衝突就越大。

The biggest gap, which is wanting something but never having it, is what we can call hell.

最大的差距，就是想要某樣東西卻從未擁有它，這就是我們可以稱之為地獄的東西。

Read any story or myth about hell, whether it's Tantalus, or Sisyphus, or Satan, and

閱讀任何關於地獄的故事或神話，無論是坦塔羅斯，還是西西弗斯，或者撒旦，以及

you'll hear the same story: someone wants something but can never have it.

你會聽到同樣的故事：有人想要某樣東西，但永遠無法得到它。

Now the smallest gap between wanting and having something, which is to never want because

現在，想要的東西和擁有的東西之間的最小差距，就是永遠不想要，因為

you always have, is what we can call heaven.

你一直擁有的，是我們可以稱之為天堂的東西。

You're saying the gap between wanting and having something produces conflict.

你是說想要什麼和擁有什麼之間的差距會產生衝突。

So if I can shrink the gap between wanting and having something, I shrink the conflict

是以，如果我能夠縮小想要的東西和擁有的東西之間的差距，我就縮小了衝突

S：那麼我怎樣才能縮小差距呢？

I know why you're asking that question, but let's approach this from a different

我知道你為什麼要問這個問題，但讓我們從另一個角度來處理這個問題。

Imagine that you had a perfect understanding of the world, that you knew the relationship

想象一下，你對這個世界有一個完美的理解，你知道其中的關係

There would be nothing you couldn't do instantly.

沒有什麼是你不能立即做到的。

You'd know the exact blade of grass to pluck to produce an earthquake on the other side

你會知道要拔掉哪根草才能在另一邊產生地震。

So if you had a perfect understanding of the world, there would be no difference between

是以，如果你對世界有一個完美的理解，就不會有以下的區別

what you want and what you have, because you could have anything you want in an instant.

你想要什麼和你擁有什麼，因為你可以在瞬間擁有你想要的任何東西。

So the gap between what you want and what you have is time, and it's also conflict.

所以你想要的和你擁有的之間的差距是時間，也是衝突。

If there is a gap between what you want and what you have, there's conflict in your

如果你想要的和你所擁有的之間有差距，你就有衝突。

Now if what you want takes time to get, that means there's a gap between what you want

現在，如果你想要的東西需要時間才能得到，這意味著你想要的東西之間存在著差距

So you're saying if I want something that takes time to get, there's a gap between

所以你是說，如果我想要的東西需要時間才能得到，那麼就會有一個差距。

what I want and what I have, and that gap is also conflict.

我想要的和我所擁有的，這種差距也是衝突。

So if I want something that takes time to get, I'll be in conflict.

是以，如果我想要的東西需要時間才能得到，我就會有衝突。

So if you genuinely want something that takes no time to have, then you eliminate the gap.

是以，如果你真的想要不花時間就能擁有的東西，那麼你就消除了這種差距。

S：是的，但什麼東西不需要時間就能擁有？

P: As long as you want something from the world, as long as you want to get something

P：只要你想從世界上得到什麼，只要你想得到什麼
