读凯蒂学英文——对于“我担心战争”的回复

老鼠Jerry

Dear Katie,
I just saw the video "I'm afraid of war" from Israel which you included in the latest Newsletter.
I went through the inquiry for myself together with the Israeli woman, and I felt it applicable to every single stressful thought I ever had, which were all thoughts where I was at war with reality. That video is so incredibly powerful, it helped me at last fully assimilate the 300 or so inquiry worksheets I have written so far, I cried all the way though it and kept crying for some time afterwards, I guess it was all this accumulated tension leaving my body.

亲爱的凯蒂，
我刚刚看过最新一期的Newsletter，上面有一段来自伊拉克的视频“我担心战争”，您也出现在视频中。
我和那个伊拉克妇女一样对自身的想法进行了彻底深入地审查，我觉得这个主题适用于每一个我所遇到的有压力的想法，所有这些想法都是我在与现实对抗中产生的。那个视频真是震撼人心，最终它使我彻底理解了到目前为止所写的大约300个审查作业单，看这个视频的时候我一直在哭，后来有时候我也会哭泣，我想这表明所有积聚内心的紧张焦虑都离开了我。

And what you told about doing inquiry with the veterans and your examples of the man burning to death and about having ones leg blown off, helped me at last feel deep inside my bones the deep meaning of your response to my email to the Parlor about when I was attacked and which had not fully sunk in until now. It would be helpful if some examples of explicit inquiries about physical harm could be published, and I understand why that is not always possible.

您所谈论的关于与退伍老兵所做的审查，您举的一些例子比如一个男人被烧死，一个被炸掉了一条腿，这些直指我内心的最痛处。有一次我在店里受到攻击，我收到写给您的回信，当时只感觉其中蕴含深意，还未能完全领悟，如今豁然开朗。如果某些例子中对于身体受到伤害的毫不避讳的审查可以公开的话，我想会对我更有帮助，当然我理解这也不太合适。

I have been doing Inquiry since January, have done about 300 inquiry worksheets so far and am doing about three new ones each day. I have now learned to go very deep inside and usually it takes me 30 to 60 minutes and 4 pages of writing to do each Inquiry. So I do not do two inquiries in a row because I need some time to let each one fully sink in. I also feel quite exhausted sometimes after a deep inquiry. I have learned to sit there waiting patiently with my pen in my hand because I have noticed that sometimes the deepest and most surprising answers to the questions take a while to come up, once the quick and easy ones are already on paper. I hope that I am not exaggerating with this, since the inquiries that have been published in your books and tapes seem to be so much shorter and quicker.

我从一月份开始一直做审查作业单，至今为止已经完成了300份，并且每天做三份新的作业单。我现在已经学会了非常深入的进入内心，通常这会花费我30至60分钟，每做一项审查，其结果能写四页纸。我需要一些时间对每一个审查进行充分地理解，因此我不会两个审查同时做。有时在一个深入的审查完成时，我也会感到非常疲倦。我也学会了手中握着钢笔，坐在那耐心地等待，因为我注意到有时候最深入和最令人惊喜的回答需要等一会才会浮现出来，但是快速简单的作答则不会这样。 我希望我没有夸大其词，我觉得在您发布的书中和录音带里的审查例子似乎过于简短了。

For the past few weeks I have been noticing that from time to time a little "Inquiry computer program" seems to start running inside my head when I think a stressful thought. So far it is only about the "easy" ones but I love the new experience.

在过去的几周里我注意到当我思考一个有压力的想法时，头脑中开始不时的运作起审查功课了，就像电脑程序一样。虽然只是在一些小问题上会有这种体验，不过我很喜欢。

I hope to attend October School in LA. I still have so much work to do on myself and I also know that I learn a lot from other people’s inquiries. And at some point in the future I hope to be able to contribute in some way to bringing The Work to more people around the world.
Thank you very much, Katie!

我期望去参加洛杉矶的10月份课程。我自身仍有很多功课需要做，我也从其他人的审查功课中学到很多知识。在未来的某个时刻我希望能以某种方式做出我的贡献，把功课带到全世界，让更多人知道。
非常地感谢你，凯蒂！
