Giving all praise and honor to God. 将一切赞美和荣耀归于上帝。
The Bible calls us to hope. To persevere, and have faith in things not seen. 圣经呼召我们存着盼望。要忍耐，要信靠所未见之事。
"They were still living by faith when they died," Scripture tells us: "他们因着信，死的时候还是没有得着所应许的，"圣经告诉我们：
They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on Earth. "却从远处望见，且欢喜迎接，又承认自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。"
We are here today to remember a man of God who lived by faith. A man who believed in things not seen. A man who believed there were better days ahead, off in the distance. A man of service who persevered, knowing full well he would not receive all those things he was promised, because he believed his efforts would deliver a better life for those who followed. 今天我们聚集在这里，纪念一位凭信心而活的神人。一位相信所未见之事的人。一位相信在远方、在前方有更美好日子的人。一位坚忍不拔的公仆——他深知自己不会得着所应许的一切，却坚信自己的努力将为后来人带来更美好的生活。
To Jennifer, his beloved wife; to Eliana and Malana, his beautiful, wonderful daughters; to the Mother Emanuel family and the people of Charleston, the people of South Carolina. 致敬他挚爱的妻子詹妮弗；致敬他美丽可爱的女儿埃利安娜和马拉纳；致敬以马内利母亲教会的会众，以及查尔斯顿的人民，南卡罗来纳州的人民。
I cannot claim to have the good fortune to know Reverend Pinckney well. But I did have the pleasure of knowing him and meeting him here in South Carolina, back when we were both a little bit younger. Back when I didn't have visible grey hair. The first thing I noticed was his graciousness, his smile, his reassuring baritone, his deceptive sense of humor -- all qualities that helped him wear so effortlessly a heavy burden of expectation. 我不敢说自己有幸与平克尼牧师深交。但我确实有幸认识他，也曾在南卡罗来纳州与他会面——那时候我们都还年轻一些。那时候我的头发还没有明显变白。我注意到的第一件事就是他的谦和有礼、他的微笑、他那令人安心的男中音、他那出人意料的幽默感——所有这些品质都让他能够举重若轻地背负起众人寄予的厚望。
Friends of his remarked this week that when Clementa Pinckney entered a room, it was like the future arrived; that even from a young age, folks knew he was special. Anointed. He was the progeny of a long line of the faithful -- a family of preachers who spread God's word, a family of protesters who sowed change to expand voting rights and desegregate the South. Clem heard their instruction, and he did not forsake their teaching. 本周他的朋友们说，克莱门塔·平克尼走进一个房间时，就仿佛未来翩然而至；即便在年少时，人们就知道他非同凡响。是受膏者。他承袭了一长串虔诚信徒的血脉——一个传播上帝话语的牧师世家，一个播撒变革种子、推动投票权扩张、终结南方种族隔离的抗争者家族。克莱姆聆听了他们的教诲，也从未背弃他们的教导。
He was in the pulpit by 13, pastor by 18, public servant by 23. He did not exhibit any of the cockiness of youth, nor youth's insecurities; instead, he set an example worthy of his position, wise beyond his years, in his speech, in his conduct, in his love, faith, and purity. 他13岁登上讲坛，18岁成为牧师，23岁投身公职。他既没有年轻人的狂妄自大，也没有年轻人的不安怯懦；相反，他树立了与其身份相称的榜样，他的言谈、他的品行、他的爱、他的信仰与他的纯洁，都超越了他的年龄。
As a senator, he represented a sprawling swath of the Lowcountry, a place that has long been one of the most neglected in America. A place still wracked by poverty and inadequate schools; a place where children can still go hungry and the sick can go without treatment. A place that needed somebody like Clem. 作为一名州参议员，他代表着辽阔的低地地区——那里长期以来是美国最被忽视的地方之一。一个仍受贫困和学校匮乏困扰的地方；一个孩子们仍可能忍饥挨饿、病人仍可能得不到医治的地方。一个需要克莱姆这样的人的地方。
His position in the minority party meant the odds of winning more resources for his constituents were often long. His calls for greater equity were too often unheeded, the votes he cast were sometimes lonely. But he never gave up. He stayed true to his convictions. He would not grow discouraged. After a full day at the capitol, he'd climb into his car and head to the church to draw sustenance from his family, from his ministry, from the community that loved and needed him. There he would fortify his faith, and imagine what might be. 他身处少数党，这意味着为选民争取更多资源的机会往往十分渺茫。他对更大公平的呼吁常常无人理睬，他投下的选票有时显得形单影只。但他从未放弃。他始终坚守自己的信念。他从不气馁。在州议会忙碌一整天后，他会钻进汽车，驶回教堂，从他的家人、他的牧职、以及爱戴他、需要他的社区中汲取力量。在那里，他坚固自己的信心，也畅想可能的未来。
Reverend Pinckney embodied a politics that was neither mean, nor small. He conducted himself quietly, and kindly, and diligently. He encouraged progress not by pushing his ideas alone, but by seeking out your ideas, partnering with you to make things happen. He was full of empathy and fellow feeling, able to walk in somebody else's shoes and see through their eyes. No wonder one of his Senate colleagues remembered Senator Pinckney as "the most gentle of the 46 of us -- the best of the 46 of us." 平克尼牧师所体现的政治，既不卑鄙，也不狭隘。他行事低调，友善勤勉。他推动进步，不是单凭一己之见，而是主动倾听他人的想法，与你携手共进。他充满同理心与共情力，能够设身处地、换位思考。难怪他的一位参议院同僚这样评价平克尼参议员："在我们46人中，他最温文尔雅——他是我们46人中最优秀的。"
Clem was often asked why he chose to be a pastor and a public servant. But the person who asked probably didn't know the history of the AME church. As our brothers and sisters in the AME church know, we don't make those distinctions. "Our calling," Clem once said, "is not just within the walls of the congregation, but...the life and community in which our congregation resides." 克莱姆常被问及为什么选择同时做牧师和公务员。但问这个问题的人可能并不了解非洲卫理公会的历史。正如我们非洲卫理公会的弟兄姊妹们所知道的，我们从不做这样的区分。"我们的呼召，"克莱姆曾说，"不仅限于会众的墙垣之内，而是……关乎我们会众所身处的生活与社区。"
He embodied the idea that our Christian faith demands deeds and not just words; that the "sweet hour of prayer" actually lasts the whole week long -- that to put our faith in action is more than individual salvation, it's about our collective salvation; that to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and house the homeless is not just a call for isolated charity but the imperative of a just society. 他践行了这样的理念：我们的基督教信仰要求的是行为，而不仅仅是言语；那"甜蜜的祷告时刻"实际上持续整整一周——将信仰付诸行动关乎的不只是个人的救赎，更是我们集体的救赎；让饥饿者得饱、让赤身者得衣、让无家可归者得居所，这不仅是对个体慈善的呼召，更是一个公义社会的必然要求。
What a good man. Sometimes I think that's the best thing to hope for when you're eulogized -- after all the words and recitations and resumes are read, to just say someone was a good man. 多么好的一个人。有时候我想，在你的葬礼上，在所有的悼词、颂词和生平介绍都念完之后，人们只说一句"他是个好人"，那便是最好的赞誉了。
You don't have to be of high station to be a good man. Preacher by 13. Pastor by 18. Public servant by 23. What a life Clementa Pinckney lived. What an example he set. What a model for his faith. And then to lose him at 41 -- slain in his sanctuary with eight wonderful members of his flock, each at different stages in life but bound together by a common commitment to God. 一个人不必身居高位才能成为好人。13岁成为传道者，18岁成为牧师，23岁成为公务员。克莱门塔·平克尼活出了怎样的人生啊。他树立了怎样的榜样。他为信仰作出了怎样的典范。而他却在41岁时离去——在他的圣堂中被杀害，与他八位优秀的会众一起——他们每个人处于人生的不同阶段，却因对上帝共同的承诺而紧紧相连。
Cynthia Hurd. Susie Jackson. Ethel Lance. DePayne Middleton-Doctor. Tywanza Sanders. Daniel L. Simmons. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton. Myra Thompson. Good people. Decent people. God-fearing people. People so full of life and so full of kindness. People who ran the race, who persevered. People of great faith. 辛西娅·赫德。苏西·杰克逊。埃塞尔·兰斯。德佩恩·米德尔顿-多克特。泰万扎·桑德斯。丹尼尔·L·西蒙斯。莎朗达·科尔曼-辛格尔顿。迈拉·汤普森。都是好人。都是正直的人。都是敬畏上帝的人。都是那样鲜活、那样善良的人。都是奔跑天路、坚忍不拔的人。都是大有信心的人。
To the families of the fallen, the nation shares in your grief. Our pain cuts that much deeper because it happened in a church. The church is and always has been the center of African-American life -- a place to call our own in a too often hostile world, a sanctuary from so many hardships. 对遇难者家属，整个国家与你们同悲。我们的伤痛之所以更加深切，是因为这一切发生在教堂里。教堂过去是、也永远是非裔美国人生活的中心——在这个常常充满敌意的世界里，一个属于我们自己的地方，一个远离无数苦难的庇护所。
Over the course of centuries, black churches served as "hush harbors" where slaves could worship in safety; praise houses where their free descendants could gather and shout hallelujah -- rest stops for the weary along the Underground Railroad; bunkers for the foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement. 几个世纪以来，黑人教会充当着"寂静港湾"——奴隶们可以在那里安全地敬拜；"赞美之屋"——获得自由的后代们可以聚集在一起，高呼哈利路亚；它们是地下铁道沿线疲惫旅人的歇脚处；它们是民权运动战士们的堡垒。
They have been, and continue to be, community centers where we organize for jobs and justice; places of scholarship and network; places where children are loved and fed and kept out of harm's way, and told that they are beautiful and smart -- and taught that they matter. That's what happens in church. 它们过去是、现在也仍然是社区中心——我们在那里为就业和正义而组织；它们是求知与联络的场所；在那里，孩子们被爱护、被喂养、远离伤害，他们被告知自己美丽聪慧——被教导他们很重要。这就是教会里发生的事。
That's what the black church means. Our beating heart. The place where our dignity as a people is inviolate. When there's no better example of this tradition than Mother Emanuel -- a church built by blacks seeking liberty, burned to the ground because its founder sought to end slavery, only to rise up again, a Phoenix from these ashes. 这就是黑人教会的意义所在。我们跳动的心脏。我们作为一个民族的尊严不可侵犯之地。而这一传统最杰出的典范，莫过于以马内利母亲教会——一座由追求自由的黑人所建的教堂，因其创始人寻求终结奴隶制而被焚毁，却又如凤凰涅槃般浴火重生。
When there were laws banning all-black church gatherings, services happened here anyway, in defiance of unjust laws. When there was a righteous movement to dismantle Jim Crow, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached from its pulpit, and marches began from its steps. A sacred place, this church. Not just for blacks, not just for Christians, but for every American who cares about the steady expansion of human rights and human dignity in this country; a foundation stone for liberty and justice for all. That's what the church meant. 当法律禁止全黑人教会聚会时，礼拜仍在这里举行，公然反抗不公的法律。当掀起推翻吉姆·克劳法的正义运动时，小马丁·路德·金博士从它的讲坛上布道，游行从它的台阶上出发。这座教堂，是一方圣地。不仅对黑人而言，不仅对基督徒而言，对每一个关心这个国家人权与尊严稳步扩展的美国人而言都是如此；它是为所有人争取自由与正义的基石。这就是那座教堂的意义。
We do not know whether the killer of Reverend Pinckney and eight others knew all of this history. But he surely sensed the meaning of his violent act. It was an act that drew on a long history of bombs and arson and shots fired at churches, not random, but as a means of control, a way to terrorize and oppress. An act that he imagined would incite fear and recrimination; violence and suspicion. An act that he presumed would deepen divisions that trace back to our nation's original sin. Oh, but God works in mysterious ways. God has different ideas. 我们不知道杀害平克尼牧师和其他八人的凶手是否了解这一切历史。但他肯定感知到了他那暴力行为的意义。这一行为延续了漫长的向教堂投掷炸弹、纵火、开枪的历史——不是随机的，而是作为一种控制手段，一种恐吓与压迫的方式。他以为这一行为会激起恐惧与指责、暴力与猜疑。他以为这一行为会加深可追溯到我们国家原罪的分裂。然而，上帝的意念高过我们的意念。上帝有不同的安排。
He didn't know he was being used by God. Blinded by hatred, the alleged killer could not see the grace surrounding Reverend Pinckney and that Bible study group -- the light of love that shone as they opened the church doors and invited a stranger to join in their prayer circle. The alleged killer could have never anticipated the way the families of the fallen would respond when they saw him in court -- in the midst of unspeakable grief, with words of forgiveness. He couldn't imagine that. 他不知道自己正在被上帝所用。被仇恨蒙蔽了双眼，这名被控的凶手看不到环绕在平克尼牧师和那个查经小组周围的恩典——当他们敞开教堂大门，邀请一个陌生人加入他们的祷告圈时，爱之光熠熠生辉。这名被控的凶手绝不会想到，遇难者家属在法庭上见到他时会作何反应——在难以言喻的悲痛之中，他们说出了宽恕的话语。他无法想象。
The alleged killer could not imagine how the city of Charleston, under the good and wise leadership of Mayor Riley -- how the state of South Carolina, how the United States of America would respond -- not merely with revulsion at his evil act, but with big-hearted generosity and, more importantly, with a thoughtful introspection and self-examination that we so rarely see in public life. 这名被控的凶手无法想象，在莱利市长英明领导下的查尔斯顿市——南卡罗来纳州，乃至整个美利坚合众国——会如何回应：不仅仅是对他的恶行感到憎恶，更是以宽厚的胸怀，更重要的是，以一种我们在公共生活中极少见到的深思与自省来回应。
Blinded by hatred, he failed to comprehend what Reverend Pinckney so well understood -- the power of God's grace. 被仇恨蒙蔽双眼，他无法理解平克尼牧师深谙的道理——上帝恩典的力量。
This whole week, I've been reflecting on this idea of grace. The grace of the families who lost loved ones. The grace that Reverend Pinckney would preach about in his sermons. The grace described in one of my favorite hymnals -- the one we all know: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; was blind but now I see. 这整整一周，我一直在思考恩典这个概念。失去亲人的家属们所展现的恩典。平克尼牧师在讲道中所传讲的恩典。在我最爱的一首赞美诗中所描述的恩典——我们所有人都熟知的那首：奇异恩典，何等甘甜，拯救了像我这样的罪人。我曾失丧，今被寻回；曾瞎眼，今得看见。
According to the Christian tradition, grace is not earned. Grace is not merited. It's not something we deserve. Rather, grace is the free and benevolent favor of God -- as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings. Grace. 根据基督教传统，恩典不是赚来的。恩典不是配得的。它不是我们应得的东西。相反，恩典是上帝白白赐予的仁慈恩惠——体现在罪人的救恩和祝福的赐予中。恩典。
As a nation, out of this terrible tragedy, God has visited grace upon us, for he has allowed us to see where we've been blind. He has given us the chance, where we've been lost, to find our best selves. We may not have earned it, this grace, with our rancor and complacency, and short-sightedness and fear of each other -- but we got it all the same. He gave it to us anyway. He's once more given us grace. But it is up to us now to make the most of it, to receive it with gratitude, and to prove ourselves worthy of this gift. 作为一个国家，在这场可怕的悲剧中，上帝将恩典临到了我们身上，因为他让我们看到了我们曾经视而不见的地方。他给了我们机会，在我们迷失之处，找回最好的自己。我们或许不配得这恩典——带着我们的怨恨与自满，我们的短视与对彼此的恐惧——但我们依然得到了。他还是赐给了我们。他再一次将恩典赐给了我们。但现在要靠我们来善用这恩典，以感恩的心领受它，并证明我们配得这份礼物。
For too long, we were blind to the pain that the Confederate flag stirred in too many of our citizens. It's true, a flag did not cause these murders. But as people from all walks of life, Republicans and Democrats, now acknowledge -- including Governor Haley, whose recent eloquence on the subject is worthy of praise -- as we all have to acknowledge, the flag has always represented more than just ancestral pride. For many, black and white, that flag was a reminder of systemic oppression and racial subjugation. We see that now. 长久以来，我们对邦联旗帜在太多公民心中激起的痛苦视而不见。诚然，一面旗帜并没有造成这些谋杀。但正如各行各业的人们——共和党人和民主党人——现在所承认的那样——包括黑利州长，她最近在这个问题上的雄辩值得赞扬——正如我们所有人都必须承认的那样，这面旗帜所代表的从来不仅仅是祖先的荣耀。对许多人而言，无论黑人还是白人，那面旗帜都是系统性压迫和种族奴役的象征。我们现在看清了。
Removing the flag from this state's capitol would not be an act of political correctness; it would not be an insult to the valor of Confederate soldiers. It would simply be an acknowledgment that the cause for which they fought -- the cause of slavery -- was wrong -- the imposition of Jim Crow after the Civil War, the resistance to civil rights for all people was wrong. 将这面旗帜从州议会大厦移走，不是政治正确的行为；也不是对邦联士兵勇气的侮辱。这只是承认——他们为之战斗的事业——奴隶制的事业——是错误的；内战后吉姆·克劳法的强加、对所有人民权的抵制是错误的。
It would be one step in an honest accounting of America's history; a modest but meaningful balm for so many unhealed wounds. It would be an expression of the amazing changes that have transformed this state and this country for the better, because of the work of so many people of goodwill, people of all races striving to form a more perfect union. By taking down that flag, we express God's grace. 这将是诚实地正视美国历史的一步；对那么多尚未愈合的伤口而言，这是一剂温和却有意义的良药。这将表达出——因为那么多善意的人们、各种族人们的努力，为了缔造一个更完美的联邦——这个州、这个国家已经发生了多么惊人的向好转变。降下那面旗帜，我们便是在彰显上帝的恩典。
But I don't think God wants us to stop there. For too long, we've been blind to the way past injustices continue to shape the present. Perhaps we see that now. Perhaps this tragedy causes us to ask some tough questions about how we can permit so many of our children to languish in poverty, or attend dilapidated schools, or grow up without prospects for a job or for a career. 但我认为上帝并不希望我们止步于此。长久以来，我们对过去的不公如何继续塑造当下视而不见。也许我们现在看清了。也许这场悲剧让我们扪心自问一些尖锐的问题：我们怎么能容许那么多孩子在贫困中煎熬，或在破败的学校中求学，或在成长过程中看不到工作或职业的前景。
Perhaps it causes us to examine what we're doing to cause some of our children to hate. Perhaps it softens hearts towards those lost young men, tens and tens of thousands caught up in the criminal justice system -- and leads us to make sure that that system is not infected with bias; that we embrace changes in how we train and equip our police so that the bonds of trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve make us all safer and more secure. 也许它让我们审视，我们做了什么导致我们的一些孩子心生仇恨。也许它让人们对那些迷失的年轻人心软下来——成千上万的年轻人卷入了刑事司法系统——并促使我们确保这个系统没有被偏见所侵蚀；促使我们接受改变，改进警察的培训与装备，从而让执法部门与其所服务社区之间的信任纽带使我们所有人都更加安全。
Maybe we now realize the way racial bias can infect us even when we don't realize it, so that we're guarding against not just racial slurs, but we're also guarding against the subtle impulse to call Johnny back for a job interview but not Jamal. 也许我们现在意识到，种族偏见甚至在我们不自觉的时候就会感染我们，所以我们不仅要警惕种族 slur，还要警惕那种微妙的冲动——面试回电叫约翰尼却不叫贾马尔。
So that we search our hearts when we consider laws to make it harder for some of our fellow citizens to vote. By recognizing our common humanity by treating every child as important, regardless of the color of their skin or the station into which they were born, and to do what's necessary to make opportunity real for every American -- by doing that, we express God's grace. 所以，当我们考虑制定法律让我们的一些同胞更难投票时，我们要扪心自问。通过承认我们共同的人性，将每个孩子都视为重要的——无论他们的肤色如何，无论他们出身如何——并尽一切努力让每个美国人都能真正获得机会——这样做，我们便是在彰显上帝的恩典。
For too long -- 长久以来——
Audience: For too long! 听众：长久以来！
President Obama: For too long, we've been blind to the unique mayhem that gun violence inflicts upon this nation. Sporadically, our eyes are open: When eight of our brothers and sisters are cut down in a church basement, 12 in a movie theater, 26 in an elementary school. 奥巴马总统：长久以来，我们对枪支暴力给这个国家造成的独特灾难视而不见。我们的眼睛只是偶尔睁开：当八位弟兄姊妹在教堂地下室被枪杀时，当12人在电影院中被枪杀时，当26人在小学中被枪杀时。
But I hope we also see the 30 precious lives cut short by gun violence in this country every single day; the countless more whose lives are forever changed -- the survivors crippled, the children traumatized and fearful every day as they walk to school, the husband who will never feel his wife's warm touch, the entire communities whose grief overflows every time they have to watch what happened to them happen to some other place. 但我希望我们也能看到，这个国家每天都有30条宝贵的生命因枪支暴力而逝去；还有无数人的人生被永远改变——幸存者落下残疾，孩子们每天走在上学路上都心有余悸、饱受创伤，丈夫再也感受不到妻子温暖的触摸，每次看到同样的悲剧发生在别的地方，整个社区的悲痛都会再次泛滥。
The vast majority of Americans -- the majority of gun owners -- want to do something about this. We see that now. And I'm convinced that by acknowledging the pain and loss of others, even as we respect the traditions and ways of life that make up this beloved country -- by making the moral choice to change, we express God's grace. 绝大多数美国人——大多数枪支拥有者——都希望为此做些什么。我们现在看到了。我深信，通过承认他人的痛苦与损失，即便我们也尊重这个我们深爱的国家的传统与生活方式——做出改变的道德抉择，我们便是在彰显上帝的恩典。
We don't earn grace. We're all sinners. We don't deserve it. But God gives it to us anyway. And we choose how to receive it. It's our decision how to honor it. 我们赚不到恩典。我们都是罪人。我们不配得。但上帝还是把它赐给了我们。而我们选择如何领受它。如何荣耀它，取决于我们自己。
None of us can or should expect a transformation in race relations overnight. Every time something like this happens, somebody says we have to have a conversation about race. We talk a lot about race. There's no shortcut. And we don't need more talk. 我们谁也不能、也不应该指望种族关系一夜之间发生转变。每次发生这样的事情，就有人说我们必须就种族问题展开对话。关于种族，我们已经谈得够多了。没有捷径。我们不需要更多的空谈。
None of us should believe that a handful of gun safety measures will prevent every tragedy. It will not. People of goodwill will continue to debate the merits of various policies, as our democracy requires -- this is a big, raucous place, America is. And there are good people on both sides of these debates. Whatever solutions we find will necessarily be incomplete. 我们谁也不应该相信，几项枪支安全措施就能防止每一场悲剧。不能。心怀善意的人们会继续就各项政策的优劣展开辩论，这是我们民主体制的要求——美国就是这样一个广袤而喧嚣的地方。辩论双方都有善良的人。无论我们找到什么样的解决方案，都必然是不完美的。
But it would be a betrayal of everything Reverend Pinckney stood for, I believe, if we allowed ourselves to slip into a comfortable silence again. Once the eulogies have been delivered, once the TV cameras move on, to go back to business as usual -- that's what we so often do to avoid uncomfortable truths about the prejudice that still infects our society. To settle for symbolic gestures without following up with the hard work of more lasting change -- that's how we lose our way again. 但我相信，如果我们让自己再次滑入舒适的沉默，那将是对平克尼牧师所代表的一切的背叛。当悼词念完，当电视镜头撤走，就一切照旧——这正是我们常常做的事，以此来逃避关于偏见仍在侵蚀我们社会的令人不安的真相。满足于象征性的姿态，却不跟进更持久变革的艰苦努力——我们就是这样再次迷失方向的。
It would be a refutation of the forgiveness expressed by those families if we merely slipped into old habits, whereby those who disagree with us are not merely wrong but bad; where we shout instead of listen; where we barricade ourselves behind preconceived notions or well-practiced cynicism. 如果我们只是重蹈覆辙——把与我们意见不同的人不仅视为错误，而且视为邪恶；我们大喊大叫而不愿倾听；我们固守先入为主的观念或习以为常的犬儒主义——那将是对那些家属所表达的宽恕的否定。
Reverend Pinckney once said, "Across the South, we have a deep appreciation of history -- we haven't always had a deep appreciation of each other's history." What is true in the South is true for America. Clem understood that justice grows out of recognition of ourselves in each other. That my liberty depends on you being free, too. 平克尼牧师曾说："在整个南方，我们对历史有着深刻的理解——但我们并不总是对彼此的历史有着深刻的理解。"南方的真实写照，也是整个美国的真实写照。克莱姆明白，正义源于在彼此之中认出自己。我的自由有赖于你的自由。
That history can't be a sword to justify injustice, or a shield against progress, but must be a manual for how to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past -- how to break the cycle. A roadway toward a better world. He knew that the path of grace involves an open mind -- but, more importantly, an open heart. 历史不能成为为不公辩护的利剑，也不能成为阻碍进步的盾牌，而必须成为一本手册，指引我们如何避免重蹈覆辙——如何打破循环。一条通向更美好世界的道路。他知道，恩典之路需要开放的思想——但更重要的是，需要开放的心灵。
That's what I've felt this week -- an open heart. That, more than any particular policy or analysis, is what's called upon right now, I think -- what a friend of mine, the writer Marilyn Robinson, calls "that reservoir of goodness, beyond, and of another kind, that we are able to do each other in the ordinary cause of things." 这就是我这一周所感受到的——一颗开放的心。我想，此时此刻我们所需要的，远不止任何特定的政策或分析——正如我的一位朋友、作家玛丽莲·罗宾逊所说的"那良善的宝藏，超越其上，且属乎另一种，是我们在日常事务中能够彼此施行的。"
That reservoir of goodness. If we can find that grace, anything is possible. If we can tap that grace, everything can change. 那良善的宝藏。如果我们能找到那恩典，一切皆有可能。如果我们能汲取那恩典，一切都能改变。
Amazing grace. Amazing grace. 奇异恩典。奇异恩典。
[Begins to sing] -- Amazing grace -- how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me; I once was lost, but now I'm found; was blind but now I see. ［开始歌唱］——奇异恩典——何等甘甜，拯救了像我这样的罪人；我曾失丧，今被寻回；曾瞎眼，今得看见。
Clementa Pinckney found that grace. 克莱门塔·平克尼找到了那恩典。
Cynthia Hurd found that grace. 辛西娅·赫德找到了那恩典。

Through the example of their lives, they've now passed it on to us. 通过他们生命的榜样，他们如今将这恩典传递给了我们。
May we find ourselves worthy of that precious and extraordinary gift, as long as our lives endure. 愿我们在有生之年，都配得这份珍贵而非凡的礼物。
May grace now lead them home. 愿恩典如今引他们归家。
May God continue to shed His grace on the United States of America. 愿上帝继续将他的恩典倾洒在美利坚合众国之上。
