多做小的好事,小的好事是上帝的聲音
法師Gandalf挑選矮小的哈比人Biblo Baggins加入矮人族的復國任務,一行人在精靈王國接受招待後不告而辭,繼續前進。Gandalf落後,行前與Galadriel女王談到為何挑選沒有法力也沒有戰鬥經驗的哈比人參與行動。
Galadriel: | You will follow them. 你會跟著他們。 |
Gandalf: | Yes. |
Galadriel: | You are right to help Thorin Oakenshield. But I fear this quest has set in motion forces we do not yet understand. The riddle of the Morgul Blade must be answered. Something moves in the shadows unseen, hidden from our sight. It will not show itself. Not yet. But every day it grows in strength. You must be careful. Mithrandir? Why the Halfling? 你幫索林橡木盾(矮人族首領)是對的。但是這趟任務恐怕啟動了我們尚無所悉的力量。必須解開魔窟劍之謎。黑暗中有東西在蠢動,我們看不見。它不肯現身,時機未到。但是它的力量每天都在增強當中。你要小心。米瑟蘭蒂?為何挑了個半身人(哈比人)? |
Gandalf: | I do not know. Saruman believes that it is only great power that that can hold evil in check. But that’s not what I have found. I’ve found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk, that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Biblo Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid, and he gives me courage. 不知道。賽魯門認為只有強大的力量才能制止邪惡,但我發現並非如此。我發現,能夠抑制黑暗力量的是微小的東西---平常人的日常行為,慈悲與愛的單純舉動。為何挑選哈比人Biblo Baggins?可能是因為我害怕,而他可以給我勇氣。 |
Galadriel: | Do not be afraid, Mithrandir. You are not alone. (In Elvish) If you should ever need my help, I will come. 別害怕,米瑟蘭蒂,你並非孤軍奮鬥。(精靈語)萬一需要我幫忙,我一定到。 |
