The Pope in Heaven | 天堂里的教皇

English Original

The Pope dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter greets him and says, "Glad to see you, we've got your place all ready." Peter then takes the Pope down the street and shows him his new home: a small but comfortable cottage with five rooms. Peter advises the Pope to settle in and then wander around to meet the other residents.

The Pope meets many old friends and makes several new ones over the next few days. One of these is a former lawyer who invites the Pope over for lunch. On arriving, the Pope is astounded to see a 45-room mansion, complete with a built-in sauna, a weight room, a beautiful library, and spacious, airy rooms.

After lunch, the Pope spots St. Peter on the street and says, "Not to complain, but I'm curious as to why I have a small cottage while the lawyer I just met has a stupendous mansion."

St. Peter replies, "Well, you see, we have many Popes up here, but only one lawyer."


中文翻译

教皇去世后,来到了天堂。圣彼得迎接他,说道:“很高兴见到你,我们已经为你准备好了住处。”随后,圣彼得带着教皇沿街而行,向他展示了他的新家:一栋小巧但舒适、有五个房间的别墅。圣彼得建议教皇先安顿下来,然后四处走走,认识一下其他居民。

接下来的几天里,教皇见到了许多老朋友,也结识了一些新朋友。其中一位是已故的律师,他邀请教皇共进午餐。到达后,教皇惊呆了,他看到了一栋拥有45个房间的豪宅,里面配有桑拿房、健身房、一个漂亮的图书馆以及宽敞、通风的房间。

午餐后,教皇在街上看见了圣彼得,便上前说道:“我不是抱怨,只是很好奇,为什么我住的是小别墅,而我刚认识的那位律师却拥有一座惊人的豪宅?”

圣彼得回答说:“嗯,你看,我们这里有很多教皇,但律师却只有他一个。”
