The Quran, Allah and Plurality Issues (Sam Shamoun)
The Quran, much like the Holy Bible, uses plural pronouns for God even more
so than what we find in God’s true Word. Here are several examples:
This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee
(O Apostle!) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots
with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary:
Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point). S... 阅读全帖 |

NEW YORK — Floods, fires, melting ice and feverish heat: From smoke-choked
Moscow to water-soaked Pakistan and the High Arctic, the planet seems to be
having a midsummer breakdown. It's not just a portent of things to come,
scientists say, but a sign of troubling climate change already under way.

They threaten
这些都令我恐惧
To let me through to a heaven
会不会我的死所
Starless and fatherless, a dark water.
没有星光，也没有父爱，有的只是黑暗冰冷，死水无边。
对于threaten的意思，有一点不同意见，我觉得这里不是威胁或感到恐惧的意思
全诗的氛围是一种很沉郁gloomy，群山、白雾、慢慢走着的铁锈色的马（好像作者有一
段自己介绍，是骑马时的一种感觉），感到是一种无可逃避的压抑与忧伤。而threaten
英文在这里更接近portent，indication，a gloomy sign 这种感觉，好像马上就要将
我包围淹没，所以我是这样翻译的，错误之处，望指正：
他们马上
就要让我直达天堂
