1, An Actor and a ClergymanAt a banquet honoring a leading actor, the actor was asked to recite something for the pleasure of his guests. He consented and asked if there was anything special that anyone in the audience would like to hear.After a moment’s pause, an old clergyman asked, “ Could you, sir, recite the Twenty third Psalm?”The actor was puzzled but agreed to this request upon one condition, that after he had recited it, that the clergyman do the same.Initially, the clergyman protested, arguing that he was not an elocutionist. However, seeing that this was the only way the actor would grant his request, he finally agreed.The actor began the psalm, holding the audience spellbound from start to finish – after which there was a great burst of applause from the guests. Then it was the clergyman’s turn. The psalm was recited, and when it was done, there was not a single ripple of applause from the audience, but every guest had their head bowed and not one was dried eyed.The actor then put his hand on the shoulder of the old clergyman, and with a trembling voice exclaimed, “ I reached your eyes and ears, my friends; this man reached your hearts. I know the Twenty third Psalm; this man knows the Shepherd.”演员和牧师在表彰一位主要演员的宴会上，大家要求那演员朗诵一个，给来宾助兴。他接受了要求，并问听众中是否有人要听什么特殊的东西。静场一会儿之后，一位上了年纪的牧师问：“先生， 您能朗诵诗篇第23篇吗？”演员有点茫然，但是同意了这个请求，不过有个条件，在他朗诵之后，牧师也要朗诵。起初，牧师不同意，说自己不会朗诵。不过，他看到只有照办，演员才会同意他的请求时，还是答应了下来。演员朗诵起诗篇，自始至终让听众入迷。朗诵结束后，宾客中响起一阵哗哗的掌声。随后，轮到牧师了。诗篇声响起又落下，听众中鸦雀无声，但是每个客人都低着头，两眼湿湿的。这时，演员把手放在老牧师的肩膀上，声音颤抖地高声说：“我只触及诸位的双眼和双耳，这位先生触动了诸位的心。我只知道诗篇第23篇，这位先生了解我们的牧人。” 2.Many years ago in the city of Hamburg, the saintly philosopher Moses Mendelssohn fell in love with a charming woman named Fruntje. He approached her father, Guggenheim, to inform him of his love for her. Guggenheim, referring to Mendelssohn’s hunch back, the result of a curvature of the spine, replied “Well, you are philosopher and a wise man, so you will not take amiss. The girl said she became frightened when she saw you because of your appearance.”许多年以前，在汉堡，神学哲学家Moses Mendelssohn爱上了一个名叫Fruntje的妩媚女子。他拜见了对方的父亲Guggenheim，倾诉了对他女儿的爱意。Guggenheim看着Mendlessohn由脊椎弯曲造成的驼背 ，回答说：“呃，您是哲学家，聪明人，您不会误解。我的女孩说过，她看到您的外貌就害怕。”This did not surprise Mendelssohn, and he immediately asked to speak with Fruntje. Although she avoided looking at him throughout the conversation, Mendelssohn was able to lead the conversation to the subject that was on his mind. Timidly, Fruntje asked if he too, believed in marriages that were made in heaven. Mendelssohn said that yes he did, and then went on to relate an unusual story: “As you know, they call out in Heaven at the birth of a boy, ‘This one will get that girl for a wife.’ When I was born, my future wife was also thus announced, but it was added, ‘She will, alas, have a terrible bump.’ I shouted, ‘Oh, Lord, a girl who is humpbacked will very easily become bitter and hard. A girl should be beautiful. Good Lord, give the hump to me, and let her be handsome and well formed!”Mendelssohn对此并不惊讶。他马上提出要和Fruntje谈谈。Fruntje在交谈时目光始终没有落在Mendelssohn身上，然而Mendelssohn却把谈话引到了心里要说的话题。Fruntje问他是否相信婚姻天缔，Mendelssohn说他相信，接着又说了一个离奇的故事：“你知道，男孩出生时，天上会有人高声说，‘这个男孩要娶那个女孩为妻。’在我出生时，他们也这样宣布我的未婚妻，但是还加了一句，‘唉，她的背驼得厉害。’我叫了起来，‘啊，主呀，女孩驼背生活自然痛苦艰难。女孩可应当漂漂亮亮。善良的主呀，就让我驼背，让她美丽出众、身材匀称吧！”Fruntje immediately accepted his proposal and soon became the faithful and devoted wife of Mendelssohn.Fruntje立刻接受了求婚，不久就成了Mendelssohn的忠实尽心的妻子。
