To cry with someone who is suffering can bring great consolation to that person.
laughing at someone or ridiculing someone who is in pain is a double execution.
陪著哭泣的人流淚,會帶給這個人很大的安慰。
嘲笑一個正在痛苦中的人,是雙重的刑罰。
The classmate of a small girl had just died. After school the small girl went with the teacher to visit the family of the firl who had died.
When the little girl got home her mother asked her, "Why did you go visit the family of your classmate?"
The little girl said, "I went to console her aunt."
And the mother asked the little girl,
"How did you console her?"
The little girl said,
"I'm still a little girl. I don't know how to speak.
I didn't know what to say, so I just crawled into her lap and cried with her."
有一個小女孩的同學剛剛過世,放學之後,小女孩陪著她的老師去拜訪她同學的家人。回家以後,小女孩的媽媽問她:「妳為什麼到妳同學的家去?」
小女孩回答說:「我去安慰難過的阿姨。」
她媽媽問她:「妳是怎麼安慰她的呢?」
小女孩回答說:「我還小,我不會講安慰的話,所以我只是爬到她的旁邊和她一起哭。」
To console another we don't need to say a lot of words.
What we need is a sympathetic heart.
A warm embrace, a tearful look
can bring great comfort to someone in pain.
安慰別人的時候不需要講很多話,
我們需要的是一個真的能同情別人的心,
一個溫暖的擁抱,一個傷痛的眼神,
可以帶給受苦的人很大的安慰。
