　　愛是良藥

　　It was the late 70s and we thought him almost a god, my school friends Helen and Anne and I. An actor-director undergraduate, impossibly tall, dark and drop dead gorgeous, he co-hosted a party every summer for which all the guests had to dress in white. Everything he did was cool and desirable. Until, in the 80s, a killer disease from America swept through the beautiful people like a scythe, and left him a wasted skeleton in a hospital bed. Anne managed to visit him and I meant to, really I did. But I couldn't quite believe there wasn't plenty of time. You see he seemed incapable, but incapable, of doing anything disagreeable.We need to be "more Christian to one another" over AIDS, Elton John said yesterday. An interesting phrase, given Mr John's introduction to this once devastating scourge.

　　他那時是演員兼導(dǎo)演專業(yè)的學(xué)生，皮膚黝黑、英俊高大。每年夏天他都會聯(lián)合舉辦一次社交聚會，到場的來賓都必須身著白色衣服。他做的每一件事都十分出色、令人滿意。直到八十年代，一種致命的疾病如鐮刀般擊倒了這位完美的人，他躺在醫(yī)院的病床上，被病痛折磨成了一個骨瘦如柴的廢人。安妮去看望了他，盡管我也十分想去，但我無法接受他將不久于人世。你也許覺得他看上去什么事也做不了，但他不會去做令人生厭的事。昨日，艾爾頓·約翰說在艾滋病的問題上，我們必須“像一樣更加仁慈對待彼此”?？紤]到約翰初次接觸這一度被視為是毀滅性的災(zāi)難時的情形，他這樣的表述十分有意思。

　　In 1985 he first read about and then met a brave young haemophiliac, Ryan White. When a journalist revealed that Ryan was dying of AIDS, not only was he banned from school and a judicial restraining order put on him to the cheers of neighbours, but his own church required him to sit in a separate pew, and on Easter Day no one in the congregation would shake his hand as a sign of peace. If this is the behaviour of the church, why should we want to be more "Christian" towards one another? We hardly have an impeccable record, do we? Once when we had reached a very low ebb as a family, I asked my husband, in despair, "Why should we go on believing, when God doesn't answer prayer and Christians can behave worse than anybody?" All he said in reply was this. "Look at the character of Jesus. Who else do you think He could have been?" Not "Christian" theology. Far less the behaviour of "Christian" sinners like ourselves. But the character of Christ.

　　1985年，約翰讀到關(guān)于血友病患者瑞安·懷特的報道，并和他見面。當(dāng)記者透露瑞安死于艾滋病時，約翰不僅被學(xué)校拒之門外，還收到了法律禁令，他的鄰居都為此欣喜不已，就連他所在的教堂都要求他坐在單獨(dú)的長椅上。到了復(fù)活節(jié)，會眾中沒有一個人跟他握手言和。如果這就是教堂的所作所為，為何我們要更“像”那樣對待彼此呢?人無完人，不是嗎?家庭遇到困境時，我曾絕望地問丈夫“既然上帝都不去回應(yīng)人們的禱告，基督比任何人都要無情，為什么還要繼續(xù)我們的信仰呢?”他的回答是：“看看耶穌的品格，你覺得除了他還有誰可以是上帝?”使他成為上帝的不是____所信仰的理論，更不是我們這有罪過的基督____言行，而是基督的品格。

　　My godmother gave me a Bible, in red tooled leather, which I had throughout my childhood and have still. At that moment I thought of its garish, dated children's pictures, a shepherd with long hair and a lamb across His shoulders. Who else could He have been? It's true, He could be angry. He was capable of condemning. He even talked of Judgement. But it's not for this that we remember Him. We remember a Man who loved a sex worker for indecently wiping His feet with her loose hair, who publicly befriended a fraudster worse than any recently discredited banker, who cured those whose illnesses made them even more untouchable than Ryan, ostracised by his society. Elton John's book is provocatively entitled, Love is the Cure. Not medicine, or science, or technology, it is love for which this God is known above all, extending an invitation into His kingdom to a terrorist hanging by His side. As Elton John said, Jesus, like Ryan who follow
