The Mountain Climber | 登山者

English Original

A man was hiking in the mountains, enjoying the scenery, when he stepped too close to the edge and began to fall. In desperation, he grabbed a branch of a gnarled old tree growing from the cliffside.

Terrified, he assessed his situation. He was about 100 feet down a sheer cliff, with another 900 feet to the canyon floor below. One more slip would mean a fatal plummet.

"Help me!" he cried out. No answer came. He called out again and again, to no avail. Finally, he yelled, "Is anybody up there?"

A deep voice replied, "Yes, I am here."

"Who is it?"

"It is the Lord."

"Can you help me?"

"Yes, I can help."

"Help me!"

"Let go."

The man looked around in panic. "What?!"

"Let go. I will catch you."

After a moment's hesitation, the man asked, "Uh... Is there anybody else up there?"


中文翻译

一名男子正在山中徒步,欣赏着风景,却不慎太靠近边缘,开始坠落。绝望中,他抓住了从悬崖侧面长出来的一棵多瘤老树的树枝。

他惊恐地评估着自己的处境。他位于一处陡峭悬崖下方约100英尺处,距离下方的峡谷地面还有约900英尺。再滑一次,他将垂直坠落,必死无疑。

"救救我!"他喊道。没有回应。他一遍又一遍地呼喊,但毫无用处。最后,他大声喊道:"上面有人吗?"

一个低沉的声音回答道:"是的,我在这里。"

"是谁?"

"是主。"

"你能救我吗?"

"是的,我能救你。"

"救救我!"

"放手。"

男子惊慌地环顾四周。"什么?!"

"放手。我会接住你。"

犹豫片刻后,男子问道:"呃……上面还有别人吗?"
