你餵養那一隻狼?


我看到一個Cherokee是一群在1600年代生活於北美洲的民族,分布地區相當於現今的美國東南部,大多數在後來被迫向西遷徙。此民族是美洲原住民中的文明化五部族之一)的小故事。
我嘗試把它翻譯分享:
一天晚上,有位Cherokee老者講一個關於人類内在出現鬥爭的故事,給他的孫兒聽。他說,我的兒呀,這是兩隻狼之間的鬥爭 
一隻是惡的,牠很氣憤、嫉恨、哀嘆、惱怒、貪婪、自傲、自卑、怨忿、厭倦、虛妄、奸詐、偽裝、控欲和自大。
另一隻是善的,牠很愉快、安寧、慈愛、希望、誠懇、謙恭、和祥、親切、善解、慷慨、真心、關懷和忠實
孫兒想了一下,然後問他的爺爺,哪一隻狼贏呢?
Cherokee老者簡單的回答說,你餵養的那一隻。

"One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his
grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." "
