God and Eve in the Garden of Eden | 伊甸园中的上帝与夏娃

English Original

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God.

"Lord, I have a problem!"

"What's the problem, Eve?"

"Lord, I know you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."

"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.

"Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."

"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."

"What's a man, Lord?"

"This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat, and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when he's aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need your advice to think properly."

"Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. "What's the catch, Lord?"

"Well ... you can have him on one condition."

"What's that, Lord?"

"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring ... So you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. Just remember, it's our little secret... You know, woman to woman."


中文翻译

一日,在伊甸园中,夏娃向上帝呼喊。

“主啊,我有个问题!”

“什么问题,夏娃?”

“主啊,我知道您创造了我,赐予了这美丽的花园、所有这些奇妙的动物,还有那条欢闹滑稽的蛇,但我就是不快乐。”

“那是为什么呢,夏娃?”来自天上的声音回应道。

“主啊,我很孤独,而且我对苹果已经厌烦透顶了。”

“好吧,夏娃,既然如此,我有一个解决办法。我将为你创造一个男人。”

“男人是什么,主啊?”

“这个男人将是一个有缺陷的造物,有许多坏毛病。他会撒谎、欺骗、虚荣;总之,他会让你日子不好过。但他会更高大、更敏捷,并且喜欢狩猎和杀戮。他兴奋时会显得很傻,但既然你一直在抱怨,我会把他创造成能满足你生理需求的样子。他会很无知,并且会沉迷于像打架和踢球这类幼稚的事情。他不会太聪明,所以也需要你的建议才能正确思考。”

“听起来不错,”夏娃说着,讽刺地扬起了眉毛。“有什么内幕吗,主啊?”

“嗯……你可以拥有他,但有一个条件。”

“什么条件,主啊?”

“正如我所说,他会骄傲、傲慢、自恋……所以你必须让他相信是我先创造了他。记住,这是我们之间的小秘密……你知道的,女人间的秘密。”
