Chap. 41—Flesh Foods
§3
上帝赐给我们始祖的食物，乃是祂计划让人类吃的食物。剥夺任何受造之物的生命，都违背上帝的计划。伊甸园中不应有死亡。园中树上的果子，就是人类所需要的食物。在洪水以前，上帝不允许人吃动物的肉。后来人类所赖以生存的食物都毁灭了，上帝才根据人的需要，让挪亚吃他带进方舟的洁净动物。但动物的肉并不是最有益于人类健康的食物。{CCh 228.1}[1]
§4
God gave our first parents the food He designed that the race should eat. It was contrary to His plan to have the life of any creature taken. There was to be no death in Eden. The fruit of the trees in the garden, was the food man’s wants required. God gave man no permission to eat animal food until after the flood. Everything had been destroyed upon which man could subsist, and therefore the Lord in their necessity gave Noah permission to eat of the clean animals which he had taken with him into the ark. But animal food was not the most healthful article of food for man.?{CCh 228.1}[1]
§5
洪水之后，人类才大量采用肉食。上帝看见人类行为腐败，骄傲地高抬自己，反对他们的创造主，随心所欲而行，就准许这个长命的种族吃动物之肉，以缩短他们犯罪作恶的寿命。洪水之后不久，人类的体格和寿命就开始迅速退化减少了。（CD 373）{CCh 228.2}[2]
§6
After the Flood the people ate largely of animal food. God saw that the ways of man were corrupt, and that he was disposed to exalt himself proudly against his Creator and to follow the inclinations of his own heart. And He permitted that long-lived race to eat animal food to shorten their sinful lives. Soon after the Flood the race began to rapidly decrease in size, and in length of years.{CCh 228.2}[2]
§7
上帝在伊甸园为人类选择食物的时候，就说明了什么是最好的食物。祂在为以色列人选择食物时，也给予同样的教训。祂把以色列人从埃及领出来，教诲他们，为使他们成为祂自己的子民。祂要藉着他们祝福和教导世人。祂提供他们最符合此目的的食物，不是肉，而是“天上的粮食”——吗哪。只是因他们不满和埋怨，贪恋埃及的肉食，上帝才让他们吃动物的肉，但仅仅是短时间。食肉导致数以千计的人患病死亡。但是百姓从来没有甘心接受素食。依然是因为他们公开或秘密的不满和怨言，素食的习惯终未长久养成。{CCh 228.3}[3]
§8
In choosing man’s food in Eden, the Lord showed what was the best diet; in the choice made for Israel He taught the same lesson. He brought the Israelites out of Egypt and undertook their training, that they might be a people for His own possession. Through them He desired to bless and teach the world. He provided them with the food best adapted for this purpose, not flesh, but manna, “the bread of heaven.” It was only because of their discontent and their murmuring for the fleshpots of Egypt that animal food was granted them, and this only for a short time. Its use brought disease and death to thousands. Yet the restriction to a non-flesh diet was never heartily accepted. It continued to be the cause of discontent and murmuring, open or secret, and it was not made permanent.?{CCh 228.3}[3]
§9
以色列人定居迦南以后，得到了肉食的允许，但有严格的限制，以减轻其不良的后果。猪肉和其它不洁虫鱼鸟兽的肉，都在禁止之列。即使是允许的肉食，也严禁食用其油和血。{CCh 228.4}[4]
§10
Upon their settlement in Canaan, the Israelites were permitted the use of animal food, but under careful restrictions which tended to lessen the evil results. The use of swine’s flesh was prohibited, as also of other animals and of birds and fish whose flesh was pronounced unclean. Of the meats permitted, the eating of the fat and the blood was strictly forbidden.?{CCh 228.4}[4]
§11
可以食用的动物，必须处于健康状态，方可宰杀。凡被撕裂或自己倒毙，以及血未流尽的动物之肉，一概不可食用。{CCh 228.5}[5]
§12
Only such animals could be used for food as were in good condition. No creature that was torn, that had died of itself, or from which the blood had not been carefully drained, could be used as food.?{CCh 228.5}[5]
§13
以色列人因违背了上帝所定饮食的计划而蒙受了巨大的损失。他们贪爱肉食，就收获了肉食的后果。他们不能实现上帝对于品格的理想，没有成就祂的旨意。上帝就“将他们所求的赐给他们，却使他们的心灵软弱”（诗106:15）。他们重视世俗过于属灵的事，未能达到上帝所期望于他们的神圣高度。{CCh 228.6}[6]
§14
By departing from the plan divinely appointed for their diet, the Israelites suffered great loss. They desired a flesh diet, and they reaped its results. They did not reach God’s ideal of character or fulfill His?purpose. The Lord “gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.”?Psalm 106:15. They valued the earthly above the spiritual, and the sacred pre-eminence which was His purpose for them they did not attain.?{CCh 228.6}[6]
§15
吃肉的人只是在吃二手的五谷菜蔬，因为动物是靠五谷菜蔬的营养而生长的。五谷菜蔬的生命力进入食用者身上。我们再通过吃动物的肉而领受这生命力。既然这样，直接吃上帝所赐给我们的食物要好得多了！（MH 311-313）{CCh 229.1}[7]
§16
Those who eat flesh are but eating grains and vegetables at second hand; for the animal receives from these things the nutrition that produces growth. The life that was in the grains and vegetables passes into the eater. We receive it by eating the flesh of the animal. How much better to get it direct, by eating the food that God provided for our use!{CCh 229.1}[7]
§17
【许多疾病的原因】
§18
肉类从来就不是最好的食物。由于动物的疾病迅速增加，肉类就更不适合食用了。吃肉的人很少知道自己在吃什么。他们若看见动物的生活状态，了解他们肉食的质量，往往就会对之厌恶回避了。人们在频繁食用充满结核病有癌症病菌的肉类。结核病，癌症和其他致命的疾病就是这样传染的。（MH 313）?{CCh 229.2}[8]
§19
【The Cause of Much Disease and Sickness】
§20
Flesh was never the best food; but its use is now doubly objectionable, since disease in animals is so rapidly increasing. Those who use flesh foods little know what they are eating. Often if they could see the animals when living and know the quality of the meat they eat, they would turn from it with loathing. People are continually eating flesh that is filled with tuberculous and cancerous germs. Tuberculosis, cancer, and other fatal diseases are thus communicated.{CCh 229.2}[8]
§21
吃肉使人生病的可能性增加了十倍。（2T 64）{CCh 229.3}[9]
§22
The liability to take disease is increased tenfold by meat eating.{CCh 229.3}[9]
§23
牲畜患病了，我们吃它们的肉，就是把病根种植在自己的组织和血液中。在瘴疠的气候下，这种情形尤其明显。在流行病和传染病肆虐的时候，人体无力抵抗疾病。{CCh 229.4}[10]
§24
The animals are diseased, and by partaking of their flesh, we plant the seeds of disease in our own tissue and blood. Then when exposed to the changes in a malarious atmosphere, these are more sensibly felt; also when we are exposed to prevailing epidemics and contagious diseases, the system is not in a condition to resist the disease.?{CCh 229.4}[10]
§25
根据上帝所赐给我的亮光，癌与瘤的流行大都是因食用死畜的恶劣生活所致。（CD 386-388）?{CCh 229.5}[11]
§26
From the light God has given me, the prevalence of cancer and tumors is largely due to gross living on dead flesh.{CCh 229.5}[11]
§27
在许多地方，鱼类被所吃的秽物所污染而成为致病的因素，尤其是在靠近大城市下水道的地方。鱼类吃到阴沟里的秽物之后，再游到远处清洁的水中，被人捕捉，吃下去以后，给意识不到危险的人带来疾病和死亡。{CCh 229.6}[12]
§28
In many places fish become so contaminated by the filth on which they feed as to be a cause of disease. This is especially the case where the fish come in contact with the sewage of large cities. The fish that are fed on the contents of the drains may pass into distant waters and may be caught where the water is pure and fresh. Thus when used as food they bring disease and death on those who do not suspect the danger.?{CCh 229.6}[12]
§29
肉食的危险也许不是立时呈现的，但这不能证明肉食是无害的。很少人肯相信他们所吃的肉会毒化他们的血液，使他们患病。许多人死于完全因肉食引起的疾病。他们本人或别人却根本没有想到致病的真正原因。（MH 314, 315）?{CCh 229.7}[13]
§30
The effects of a flesh diet may not be immediately realized; but this is no evidence that it is not harmful. Few can be made to believe that it is the meat they have eaten which has poisoned their blood and caused their suffering. Many die of diseases wholly due to meat eating, while the real cause is not suspected by themselves or by others.{CCh 229.7}[13]
§31
【猪与你们不洁净】
§32
猪肉的组织中充满着寄生物。上帝论到猪说：“猪……与你们不洁净……你们不可吃，死的也不可摸”（申14:8）。发布这道命令是因为猪肉不适合作食物。猪是食腐动物。这是它唯一的功用。人在任何情况下都决不可吃猪肉。凡以肮脏之物为食、全身组织都是污秽的动物，它的肉不可能有益于健康。（MH 313, 314）{CCh 229.8}[14]
§33
【The Swine is Unclean Unto You】
§34
The tissues of the swine swarm with parasites. Of the swine God said, “It is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.”?Deuteronomy 14:8. This command was given because swine’s flesh is unfit for food. Swine are scavengers, and this is the only use they were intended to serve. Never, under any circumstances,?was their flesh to be eaten by human beings. It is impossible for the flesh of any living creature to be wholesome when filth is its natural element and when it feeds upon every detestable thing.{CCh 229.8}[14]
§35
猪肉虽是一种极普通的食物，却是一种最有害的东西。上帝禁止希伯来人吃猪肉，并非单为显扬自己的权威，而是因为猪肉对于人类乃是一种不合宜的食物。猪肉使人的身体生满了瘰疠，尤其是在温暖的气候中，会使人生大麻疯及各种的疾病。猪肉对于人体的影响，在温暖的气候中远比在寒冷的气候中，为害更甚。……若是把猪肉照其原来天然的样子摆在人前，是不会动人食欲的。人们为要使其合于食欲起见，加上很多的香料调味，结果反使那不好的食物变成更坏的食物。猪肉比一切的肉类更会使人的血液败坏。那些大量食用猪肉的人，只有得病而已。（CD 392, 393）?{CCh 230.1}[15]
§36
Pork, although one of the most common articles of diet, is one of the most injurious. God did not prohibit the Hebrews from eating swine’s flesh merely to show His authority, but because it was not a proper article of food for man. It would fill the system with scrofula, and especially in that warm climate produced leprosy, and disease of various kinds. Its influence upon the system in that climate was far more injurious than in a colder climate.... Swine’s flesh would not be palatable to the taste in its natural state. It is made agreeable to the appetite by high seasoning, which makes a very bad thing worse. Swine’s flesh above all other flesh meats, produces a bad state of the blood. Those who eat freely of pork can but be diseased.{CCh 230.1}[15]
§37
尤其是大脑精细敏感的神经会变得衰弱麻痹，以致无法辨明神圣的事物，而将其置于俗物的卑劣水准。（2T 96）?{CCh 230.2}[16]
§38
Especially would the fine, sensitive nerves of the brain become enfeebled and so beclouded that sacred things would not be discerned, but be placed upon the low level with common things.{CCh 230.2}[16]
§39
那些常作户外运动的人们，不觉得猪肉的不良影响；但那些常在户内生活，惯坐不动及劳心用脑的人们，却不然了。（CD 393）?{CCh 230.3}[17]
§40
Those who have much outdoor exercise do not realize the bad effects of pork eating, as those do whose life is mostly indoors, and whose habits are sedentary, and whose labor is mental.{CCh 230.3}[17]
§41
【肉食对思想和心灵的影响】
§42
肉食对道德的害处不亚于对身体的害处。肉食有害于健康，而凡对身体的危害，也有害于人的思想和心灵。（MH 315）?{CCh 230.4}[18]
§43
【The Effects of a Flesh Diet on the Mind and Soul】
§44
The moral evils of a flesh diet are not less marked than are the physical ills. Flesh food is injurious to health, and whatever affects the body has a corresponding effect on the mind and the soul.{CCh 230.4}[18]
§45
肉食会改变人的性情并加强兽性。我们的身体是由我们的食物构成的。多吃肉会削弱人的智力活动。学生若从不尝肉味，学习成绩就会更好。吃肉使人体内的兽性加强了，智力相应地削弱了。（CD 389）?{CCh 230.5}[19]
§46
A meat diet changes the disposition and strengthens animalism. We are composed of what we eat, and eating much flesh will diminish intellectual activity. Students would accomplish much more in their studies if they never tasted meat. When the animal part of the human agent is strengthened by meat eating, the intellectual powers diminish proportionately.{CCh 230.5}[19]
§47
如果有一个时候应当采用最简朴的饮食，那就是现在了。不应把肉食放在我们的子女面前。肉类会刺激并加强人的下等情欲，并会使道德能力不断衰退。（2T 352）?{CCh 230.6}[20]
§48
If ever there was a time when the diet should be of the most simple kind, it is now. Meat should not be placed before our children. Its influence is to excite and strengthen the lower passions, and has a tendency to deaden the moral powers.{CCh 230.6}[20]
§49
在那些声称仰望基督早日降临的子民之中，应当显出一种更大的改革。健康改良的运动，要在我们的人当中，做一番从未作成的工作。现今那些人本应觉悟肉食的危险，却仍在吞食动物的肉，从而危害到身体、精神和灵性的健康。在肉食的问题上，许多现今只悔改一半的人，将要离开上帝的子民，而不再与他们同行了。（CH 575）{CCh 230.7}[21]
§50
Greater reforms should be seen among the people who claim to be looking for the soon appearing of Christ. Health reform is to do among our people a work which it has not yet done. There are those who ought to be awake to the danger of meat eating, who are still eating the flesh of animals, thus endangering the physical, mental, and spiritual health. Many who are now only half converted on the question of meat eating will go from God’s people, to walk no more with them.{CCh 230.7}[21]
§51
凡自称信仰真理的人应当谨慎维护自己的体力和智力，使上帝和祂的圣工不致因他们的言行而受到羞辱。我们的习惯和行动要顺服于上帝的旨意。要注意自己的饮食。我得到清楚的指示：上帝的子民应当坚决地反对肉食。他们如果想要有纯洁的血液和清明的心智，就要放弃肉食。如果祂不想他们注意这个信息，还会在三十年来一直把这个信息传给祂的子民吗？吃肉会加强人动物的本性，削弱灵性。?（CD 383）{CCh 230.8}[22]
§52
Those who claim to believe the truth are to guard carefully the powers of body and mind, so that God and His cause will not be in any way dishonored by their words or actions. The habits and practices are to be brought into subjection to the will of God. We are to give careful attention to our diet. It has been clearly presented to me that God’s people are to take a firm stand against meat eating. Would?God for thirty years give His people the message that if they desire to have pure blood and clear minds, they must give up the use of flesh meat, if He did not want them to heed this message? By the use of flesh meats the animal nature is strengthened and the spiritual nature weakened.{CCh 230.8}[22]
§53
【关于改变饮食的教训】
§54
以为肌肉的力量依靠肉食，这是错误的。不用肉食，人体的需要能得到更好的供应，享受更有活力的健康。五谷、水果、蔬菜和坚果中含有制造优良血液所需要的一切营养成分。肉食提供不了这么多、这么好的成分。若是肉食对于健康与活力是必不可少的话，那它就会包括在起初所指定给人的食物中了。{CCh 231.1}[23]
§55
【Instruction Concerning a Change in Diet】
§56
It is a mistake to suppose that muscular strength depends on the use of animal food. The needs of the system can be better supplied, and more vigorous health can be enjoyed, without its use. The grains, with fruits, nuts, and vegetables, contain all the nutritive properties necessary to make good blood. These elements are not so well or so fully supplied by a flesh diet. Had the use of flesh been essential to health and strength, animal food would have been included in the diet appointed man in the beginning.?{CCh 231.1}[23]
§57
中断了肉食，往往会有疲倦无力的感觉。许多人以此竭力主张人类需要肉食。其实正是因为肉食的刺激性，令血液发热，神经奋兴，才使人念念不忘。一些人很难戒除肉食，正像酒徒很难戒酒一样。但若是戒掉，自必更好。?{CCh 231.2}[24]
§58
When the use of flesh food is discontinued, there is often a sense of weakness, a lack of vigor. Many urge this as evidence that flesh food is essential; but it is because foods of this class are stimulating, because they fever the blood and excite the nerves, that they are so missed. Some will find it as difficult to leave off flesh eating as it is for the drunkard to give up his dram; but they will be the better for the change.?{CCh 231.2}[24]
§59
取消肉食之后，应代之以各种营养美味的谷物、蔬菜、坚果和水果。这对于身体虚弱或持续做工的人来说特别有必要。（MH 316）{CCh 231.3}[25]
§60
When flesh food is discarded, its place should be supplied with a variety of grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits that will be both nourishing and appetizing. This is especially necessary in the case of those who are weak or who are taxed with continuous labor.{CCh 231.3}[25]
§61
尤其是在不以肉类为主食的地方，少不了良好的烹调技术。要预备一些肉类的代用品，善加烹调，使人不再想吃肉。（CG 384）?{CCh 231.4}[26]
§62
Especially where meat is not made a principal article of food is good cooking an essential requirement. Something must be prepared to take the place of meat, and these substitutes for meat must be well prepared, so that meat will not be desired.{CCh 231.4}[26]
§63
我知道有些家庭抛弃肉食后，却采用了营养不佳的食物。他们的饭菜做得很差，以致倒胃厌食；这样的人告诉我说，健康改良不适合他们，因为他们的体力正在减弱。食物应当做得简单，也应美味而增加食欲。?（2T 63）{CCh 231.5}[27]
§64
I am acquainted with families who have changed from a meat diet to one that is impoverished. Their food is so poorly prepared that the stomach loathes it; and such have told me that the health reform did not agree with them, that they were decreasing in physical strength. Food should be prepared with simplicity, yet with a nicety which will invite the appetite.{CCh 231.5}[27]
§65
上帝要求余民教会放弃肉食、茶、咖啡和其他有害的食物，是为了他们自己的益处。有许多有益健康的好食物可以维系我们的生存。?{CCh 231.6}[28]
§66
It is for their own good that the Lord counsels the remnant church to discard the use of flesh meats, tea, and coffee, and other harmful foods. There are plenty of other things on which we can subsist that are wholesome and good.?{CCh 231.6}[28]
§67
在那些等候主降临的人们中，终必放弃肉食，停止以肉类来作为他们食物的一部分。我们的眼光应当始终如一守住这个目标，并为此坚定努力地工作。{CCh 231.7}[29]
§68
Among those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord, meat eating will eventually be done away; flesh will cease to form a part of their diet. We should ever keep this end in view, and endeavor to work steadily toward it.{CCh 231.7}[29]
§69
心智，道德，及身体的能力也都因惯用肉食而降低。吃肉使身体系统紊乱，蒙蔽智慧，麻钝道德感觉。亲爱的弟兄和姐妹啊，我们对你们说，你们最安全的做法就是放弃肉食。（2T 64）{CCh 231.8}[30]
§70
The intellectual, the moral, and the physical powers are depreciated by the habitual use of flesh meats. Meat eating deranges the system,beclouds the intellect, and blunts the moral sensibilities. We say to you, dear brother and sister, your safest course is to let meat alone.{CCh 231.8}[30]
