A Moment of Courage | 生命的勇气

English Original

A man stood before St. Peter at the pearly gates.

"Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asked.

"Well, I can think of one thing," the man replied. "On a trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers threatening a young woman. I told them to leave her alone, but they ignored me.

So I walked up to the largest, most heavily tattooed biker, smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, threw it on the ground, and said, 'Leave her alone now, or you'll answer to me.'"

St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?"

"Just a couple of minutes ago."


中文翻译

一个男人站在天堂的珍珠门前,面对着圣彼得。

"你生前做过什么特别值得称道的事吗?" 圣彼得问道。

"嗯,我想起一件事," 男人回答。"在南达科他州黑山的一次旅行中,我遇到一群摩托车手正在威胁一位年轻女子。我让他们别骚扰她,但他们不听。

于是,我走向那个最大、纹身最多的车手,了他的头,踢翻了他的摩托车,扯下他的鼻环扔在地上,然后说:'现在立刻放过她,否则我要你好看。'"

圣彼得印象深刻。"这是什么时候的事?"

"就在几分钟前。"
