from Ecclesiastes
To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to 1)pluck up that which has planted; A time to kill and a time to 2)heal;
A time to break down and a time to build up; A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to morn and a time to dance;
A time to 3)cast away stones and a time to gather stones together; A time to 4)embrace and a time to 5)refrain from embracing; A time to get and a time to lose; A time to keep and a time to cast away; A time to 6)rend and a time to sew; A time to keep silence and a time to speak; A time to love and a time to hate; A time of war and a time of peace.
万物有时节
大千世界中,万物有时节,一切自有深意: 有诞生,也有死亡的时候; 有种植,也有采摘的时候;
有杀伤,也有治疗的时候; 有坍塌,也有修建的时候; 有哭泣,也有欢笑的时候; 有悲恸,也有起舞的时候; 有投掷石块,也有收集石块的时候; 有拥抱,也有不拥抱的时候; 有收获,也有失去的时候; 有保留,也有抛弃的时候; 有撕碎,也有缝补的时候; 有沉默,也有发言的时候; 有爱,也有恨的时候; 有战争,也有和平的时候。 [注释]
