【1. 胎儿期的影响】
§4
改良从何处着手——我们节制工作者的努力还没有深入到消灭我国不节制祸害的地步。习惯一旦养成，是很难改掉的。改良应当从母亲生孩子之前开始；如果人们忠实地实行了上帝的教导，不节制的行为就不会存在。{Te 170.1}[1]
§5
【1. Prenatal Influence】
§6
Where Reform Should Begin.--The efforts of our temperance workers are not sufficiently far-reaching to banish the curse of intemperance from our land. Habits once formed are hard to overcome. The reform should begin with the mother before the birth of her children; and if Gods instructions were faithfully obeyed, intemperance would not exist. {Te 170.1}[1]
§7
每一位母亲应当不断地努力，使自己的生活习惯符合上帝的旨意，与祂合作，保守儿女远离现今摧毁健康与生命的各种恶习。但愿母亲们毫不犹豫地摆正自己与创造主的关系，在祂的恩助下，在儿女周围建起防御放荡和不节制堡垒。——《论饮食》，第225, 226页。{Te 170.2}[2]
§8
It should be the constant effort of every mother to conform her habits to Gods will, that she may work in harmony with Him to preserve her children from the health- and life-destroying vices of the present day. Let mothers place themselves without delay in right relations to their Creator, that they may by His assisting grace build around their children a bulwark against dissipation and intemperance.--Counsels on Diet and Foods, pages 225, 226. {Te 170.2}[2]
§9
父母的习惯——每一个不节制的人若养育儿女，通常都会将自己的癖好和罪恶倾向传给自己的后代。——《评论与通讯》，1882年11月21日。{Te 170.3}[3]
§10
The Habits of the Father and the Mother.--As a rule, every intemperate man who rears children, transmits his inclinations and evil tendencies to his offspring.--Review and Herald, Nov. 21, 1882. {Te 170.3}[3]
§11
母亲的习惯会影响孩子向善还是向恶。如果她想为自己的孩子寻求福利，她自己就必须受原则控制，而且必须实行节制和克己。——《论饮食》，第218页。{Te 170.4}[4]
§12
The child will be affected for good or evil by the habits of the mother. She must herself be controlled by principle, and must practice temperance and self-denial, if she would seek the welfare of her child.--Counsels on Diet and Foods, page 218. {Te 170.4}[4]
§13
与生俱来的罪恶倾向——母亲的思想和情感，在很大的程度上会传给她的孩子。如果她专注于自己的情感，放纵私欲，苛求易怒，就会在孩子的性情上表现出来。许多孩子一生下来就继承了几乎难以克服的犯罪倾向。人类的仇敌比许多父母更清楚这一点。他要对母亲进行试探。他知道母亲如果不抵制他，他就能藉着她影响她的孩子。母亲唯一的希望在于上帝。她可以投奔祂，以获取能力与恩典；她不会徒然寻求。——《时兆》，1910年9月13日。{Te 171.1}[5]
§14
The Birthright of Evil Tendencies.--The thoughts and feelings of the mother will have a powerful influence upon the legacy she gives her child. If she allows her mind to dwell upon her own feelings, if she indulges in selfishness, if she is peevish and exacting, the disposition of her child will testify to the fact. Thus many have received as a birthright almost unconquerable tendencies to evil. The enemy of souls understands this matter much better than do many parents. He will bring his temptations to bear upon the mother, knowing that if she does not resist him, he can through her affect her child. The mothers only hope is in God. She may flee to Him for strength and grace; and she will not seek in vain.-- Signs of the Times, Sept. 13, 1910. {Te 171.1}[5]
§15
上帝给每一位母亲的信息——圣经教导母亲应当谨慎地保守自己的生活习惯。当上帝要兴起参孙拯救以色列时，“耶和华的使者”向他的母亲显现，就她的习惯和如何养育她的孩子给予特别的指示。天使说：“清酒浓酒都不可喝，一切不洁之物也不可吃”（士13:13,17）。{Te 171.2}[6]
§16
Gods Message to Every Mother.--The carefulness with which the mother should guard her habits of life is taught in the Scriptures. When the Lord would raise up Samson as a deliverer for Israel, the angel of Jehovah appeared to the mother, with special instruction concerning her habits, and also for the treatment of her child. Beware, he said, and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing. Judges 13:13, 7. {Te 171.2}[6]
§17
许多父母视自己的影响为无关紧要的事，但上天不是这样看的。上帝的天使所带来的信息，两次以极其严肃的方式传达，说明它值得我们非常认真地考虑。{Te 171.3}[7]
§18
The effect of parental influences is by many parents looked upon as a matter of little moment; but heaven does not so regard it. The message sent by an angel of God, and twice given in the most solemn manner, shows it to be deserving of our most careful thought. {Te 171.3}[7]
§19
上帝对那位希伯来母亲所说的话，也是对历代一切母亲说的。天使说：“我告诉妇人的一切事，她都当谨慎。”母亲的习惯影响婴孩的幸福。她的食欲和情欲都要受原则的控制。如果她要实现上帝在赐她孩子的事上对她的旨意，有的事情她需要放弃，有的事情她必须抵制。如果孩子出生以前她自我放纵，自私，不耐烦，苛求，这些特性就会在孩子的性情上反映出来。许多孩子就这样一生下来便承受了几乎无法克服的犯罪倾向。但如果母亲能坚定不移地坚持正确的原则，节制克己，仁慈，温和而不自私，她就会把这些宝贵的品性传给自己的孩子。禁止母亲饮酒的命令是非常明确的。她为满足食欲而喝的每一滴浓酒，都会影响她孩子的身体，心智和道德的健康，并直接得罪她的创造主。——《服务真诠》，第372, 373页。{Te 171.4}[8]
§20
In the words spoken to the Hebrew mother, God speaks to all mothers in every age. Let her beware, the angel said; all that I commanded her let her observe. The well-being of the child will be affected by the habits of the mother. Her appetites and passions are to be controlled by principle. There is something for her to shun, something for her to work against, if she fulfills Gods purpose for her in giving her a child. If before the birth of her child she is self-indulgent, if she is selfish, impatient, and exacting, these traits will be reflected in the disposition of the child. Thus many children have received as a birthright almost unconquerable tendencies to evil. But if the mother unswervingly adheres to right principles, if she is temperate and self-denying, if she is kind, gentle and unselfish, she may give her child these same precious traits of character. Very explicit was the command prohibiting the use of wine by the mother. Every drop of strong drink taken by her to gratify appetite endangers the physical, mental, and moral health of her child, and is a direct sin against her Creator.--The Ministry of Healing, pages 372, 373. {Te 171.4}[8]
§21
对后代的幸福负责——如果过去世代的妇女始终能按照高尚的动机行事，认识到后代的人会因她们的行为而成为高尚或卑鄙的人，她们就会采取立场，不将自己的终身利益与对烟酒怀有不自然欲望的人结合在一起了。烟草是一种慢性然而致命的毒物，会削弱人的神经系统，毁损人高贵的智力。如果男人继续依恋这些卑劣的习惯，女人就不要理他们，任凭他们过单身的生活，享受他们所选择的这些“伴侣”。女人不要以为自己那么低贱，竟要把自己的命运与不能控制自己食欲的男人结合在一起。这种人主要快乐在于吃吃喝喝，满足他们的动物的欲望。{Te 172.1}[9]
§22
Accountable for the Welfare of Future Generations.--If women of past generations had always moved from high considerations, realizing that future generations would be ennobled or debased by their course of action, they would have taken their stand, that they could not unite their life interest with men who were cherishing unnatural appetites for alcoholic drinks, and tobacco which is a slow, but sure and deadly poison, weakening the nervous system, and debasing the noble faculties of the mind. If men would remain wedded to these vile habits, women should have left them to their life of single blessedness, to enjoy these companions of their choice. Women should not have considered themselves of so little value as to unite their destiny with men who had no control over their appetites, but whose principal happiness consisted in eating and drinking, and gratifying their animal passions. {Te 172.1}[9]
§23
女人没有始终服从理智的指示，而是心血来潮。她们没有高度的责任感使所缔结的婚姻不会给后代留下道德低落的印记和满足败坏食欲的激情，以牺牲健康甚至生命为代价。上帝必要她们在很大程度上为如此传给后代的健康与道德的状况负责。——《如何生活》，第2号，第27, 28页。{Te 172.2}[10]
§24
Women have not always followed the dictates of reason instead of impulse. They have not felt in a high degree the responsibilities resting upon them, to form such life connections as would not enstamp upon their offspring a low degree of morals, and a passion to gratify debased appetites, at the expense of health, and even life. God will hold them accountable in a large degree for the physical health and moral characters thus transmitted to future generations.--How to Live, No. 2, pp. 27, 28. {Te 172.2}[10]
§25
新生儿——父母应扪心自问：“我们应该怎样养育这个即将出生的孩子呢？”我们曾告诉读者，上帝已经说明母亲在生育之前应当怎样做。但这不是全部的指示。天使迦百列奉天庭差遣来传达如何照顾出生后孩子的指示，使父母可以充分明白自己的责任。{Te 173.1}[11]
§26
The Newborn Child.--The inquiry of fathers and mothers should be, What shall we do unto the child that shall be born unto us? We have brought before the reader what God has said concerning the course of the mother before the birth of her children. But this is not all. The angel Gabriel was sent from the heavenly courts to give directions for the care of children after their birth, that parents might fully understand their duty. {Te 173.1}[11]
§27
约在基督第一次降临之时，天使加百列来到撒迦利亚那里，传给他一道与当初给玛挪亚相似的信息。他对那年迈的祭司说：他的妻子将要生一个儿子，要给他起名叫做约翰。天使说：“你必欢喜快乐，有许多人因他出世也必喜乐。他在主面前将要为大，淡酒浓酒都不喝，从母腹里就被圣灵充满了”（路1:14,15）。这个应许的孩子要养成严格节制的习惯。他将承担一项重要的改革工作，为基督预备道路。{Te 173.2}[12]
§28
About the time of Christs first advent the angel Gabriel came to Zacharias with a message similar to that given to Manoah. The aged priest was told that his wife should bear a son, whose name should be called John. And, said the angel, thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. This child of promise was to be brought up with strictly temperate habits. An important work of reform was to be committed to him, to prepare the way for Christ. {Te 173.2}[12]
§29
百姓中流行各种的不节制的行为。酗酒和暴食削弱了人的体力，败坏了人的道德，以致最恶心的罪在他们看来也不是罪了。约翰的声音要从旷野里发出，严厉斥责人们种种有罪的放纵，而他自己节制的习惯，也是对当时纵欲无度的一种谴责。——《论饮食》，第225页。{Te 173.3}[13]
§30
Intemperance in every form existed among the people. Indulgence in wine and luxurious food was lessening physical strength, and debasing the morals to such an extent that the most revolting crimes did not appear sinful. The voice of John was to sound forth from the wilderness in stern rebuke for the sinful indulgences of the people, and his own abstemious habits were also to be a reproof of the excesses of his time.--Counsels on Diet and Foods, page 225. {Te 173.3}[13]
§31
【2. 遗传倾向的力量】
§32
遗传了贪得无厌的欲望——父母自己的特性，无论是心灵或身体方面的，以及他们的性癖和食欲，都能遗传给他们的儿女。由于父母不节制的生活，儿女就往往缺少体力，心智和道德的力量。饮酒和吸烟的人，可能而且必然把他们嗜好的癖性，不纯净的血液和易受刺激的神经都传给他们的儿女。放荡无羁的人往往会把他们污秽的情欲，甚至可怕的疾病，遗传给他们的子孙。而且因为儿女比父母少有抵挡试探的能力，所以结果一代不如一代。——《先祖与先知》，第561页。{Te 173.4}[14]
§33
【2. The Strength of Inherited Tendencies】
§34
Insatiable Cravings Transmitted.--Both parents transmit their own characteristics, mental and physical, their dispositions and appetites, to their children. As the result of parental intemperance, children often lack physical strength and mental and moral power. Liquor drinkers and tobacco users may, and do, transmit their insatiable craving, their inflamed blood and irritable nerves, to their children. The licentious often bequeath their unholy desires, and even loathsome diseases, as a legacy to their offspring. And as the children have less power to resist temptation than have the parents, the tendency is for each generation to fall lower and lower.--Patriarchs and Prophets, page 561. {Te 173.4}[14]
§35
到第三代和第四代——我们的祖先把各种习惯和欲念传给我们，使世界充满了疾病。父母的罪，藉着扭曲的食欲，带着可怕的能力，传到第三代和第四代。多世代不健康的饮食，贪食和自我放纵的各种习惯，使我们的贫民院，监狱，精神病院人满为患。在饮用茶，咖啡，葡萄酒，啤酒，甘蔗酒和白兰地，以及吸食烟草，鸦片和其它麻醉品上的不节制，导致了精神和身体极大的堕落，而这种堕落还在不断地加剧。——《评论与通讯》，1884年7月29日。{Te 174.1}[15]
§36
To the Third and Fourth Generation.--Our ancestors have bequeathed to us customs and appetites which are filling the world with disease. The sins of the parents, through perverted appetite, are with fearful power visited upon the children to the third and fourth generations. The bad eating of many generations, the gluttonous and self-indulgent habits of the people, are filling our poorhouses, our prisons, and our insane asylums. Intemperance in drinking tea and coffee, wine, beer, rum, and brandy, and the use of tobacco, opium, and other narcotics, has resulted in great mental and physical degeneracy, and this degeneracy is constantly increasing.--Review and Herald, July 29, 1884. {Te 174.1}[15]
§37
传给后代的遗产——只要父母的习惯违背健康律，对他们所造成的伤害就会在后代身上重现。——《怀爱伦文稿》1897年3号。{Te 174.2}[16]
§38
The Legacy to Oncoming Generations.--Wherever the habits of the parents are contrary to physical law, the injury done to themselves will be repeated in the future generations. --Manuscript 3, 1897. {Te 174.2}[16]
§39
人类因为以往世代的罪，正在所累积祸患的重担下呻吟。然而现今世代的人几乎不假思索地酗酒暴食，给下一代留下了疾病，削弱了的智力和败坏的道德作为遗产。——《教会证言》卷四，第31页。{Te 174.3}[17]
§40
The race is groaning under a weight of accumulated woe, because of the sins of former generations. And yet with scarcely a thought or care, men and women of the present generation indulge intemperance by surfeiting and drunkenness, and thereby leave, as a legacy for the next generation, disease, enfeebled intellects, and polluted morals.--Testimonies, vol. 4, p. 31. {Te 174.3}[17]
§41
抵消遗传的倾向——父母们也许已遗传给儿女以口腹之欲与情欲，那么在教导和训练他们严守节制之道、培养纯全善良习惯的工作上，就会更加困难。若是这贪图无益健康的食物、刺激品和麻醉品的口腹之欲，已被遗传给儿女犹如一份遗产，则父母们在对抗那由自己传给他们的恶倾向上，将负有何等可怕而严肃的责任啊！父母们应当多么殷勤而迫切地，本着信心与希望，来向自己不幸的儿女尽其本分啊！——《教会证言》卷三，第567, 568页。{Te 174.4}[18]
§42
Counteracting Inherited Tendencies.--Parents may have transmitted to their children tendencies to appetite and passion, which will make more difficult the work of educating and training these children to be strictly temperate and to have pure and virtuous habits. If the appetite for unhealthy food and for stimulants and narcotics has been transmitted to them as a legacy from their parents, what a fearfully solemn responsibility rests upon the parents to counteract the evil tendencies which they have given to their children! How earnestly and diligently should the parents work to do their duty, in faith and hope, to their unfortunate offspring!-- Testimonies, vol. 3, pp. 567, 568. {Te 174.4}[18]
§43
对付罪恶之潮——许多人承受着父母犯罪的后果。虽然他们不对父母的行为负责，但他们有责任确定哪些事违犯了健康律，哪些没有。他们应当避免父母的错误习惯，藉着正确的生活，使自己处在更好的状况中。——《服务真诠》，第234页。{Te 175.1}[19]
§44
To Breast the Tide of Evil.--Many suffer in consequence of the transgression of their parents. While they are not responsible for what their parents have done, it is nevertheless their duty to ascertain what are and what are not violations of the laws of health. They should avoid the wrong habits of their parents, and by correct living, place themselves in better conditions.--The Ministry of Healing, page 234. {Te 175.1}[19]
§45
现在需要更大的道德力量——这个世代的人远比几代前的人需要上帝的恩典所加强的意志力的帮助，以抵挡撒但的试探，抗拒扭曲食欲的丝毫放纵。但是现代人的自制力比不上那时的人。那些放纵这些兴奋剂的人把他们堕落的食欲和情欲传给了他们的儿女。现在需要更大的道德力去抵挡各种形式的不节制行为。唯一完全安全的方针就是站稳立场，在凡事上实行严格的节制，决不要冒险踏入危险的道路。——《基督徒节制与圣经卫生》，第37页。{Te 175.2}[20]
§46
Greater Moral Power Now Required.--The necessity for the men of this generation to call to their aid the power of the will, strengthened by the grace of God, in order to withstand the temptations of Satan, and resist the least indulgence of perverted appetite, is far greater than it was several generations ago. But the present generation have less power of self-control than had those who lived then. Those who indulged in these stimulants transmitted their depraved appetites and passions to their children, and greater moral power is now required to resist intemperance in all its forms. The only perfectly safe course is to stand firm, observing strict temperance in all things, and never venturing into the path of danger.--Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, page 37. {Te 175.2}[20]
§47
【3. 行为方式的形成】
§48
从婴儿时期就开始——父母们应当在自己的家中就开始反对不节制之害，从婴儿时代起就将这些原理教导他们的孩子，这样方可有望成功。——《教会证言》卷三，第567页。{Te 175.3}[21]
§49
【3. Formation of Behavior Patterns】
§50
Begin With Infancy.--Let parents begin a crusade against intemperance at their own firesides, in their own families, in the principles they teach their children to follow from their very infancy, and they may hope for success.--Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 567. {Te 175.3}[21]
§51
殷勤教导——要从你们的儿女在摇篮时起，就教导他们实行克己和自制。……要在他们柔嫩的思想上印下上帝的真理，使他们明白上帝的旨意不是要我们单为眼前的满足而生活，而要追求最后的幸福。要教导他们，屈从试探是软弱，是犯罪；拒绝试探才是高尚而勇敢的。这些教训必如种子撒在好土里，会结出果子来，使你们心里高兴。——《服务真诠》，第386页。{Te 176.1}[22]
§52
Diligently Teach.--Teach your children from the cradle to practice self-denial and self-control. . . . Impress upon their tender minds the truth that God does not design that we should live for present gratification merely, but for our ultimate good. Teach them that to yield to temptation is weak and wicked; to resist, noble and manly. These lessons will be as seed sown in good soil, and they will bear fruit that will make your hearts glad.--The Ministry of Healing, page 386. {Te 176.1}[22]
§53
及早开始的重要性——儿童早年的教育，无论多么重视都不算过分。人在幼年和儿童时代所学到的教训，所养成的习惯，对他品格形成和人生方向的影响，要超过他以后岁月的一切教育和训练。——《服务真诠》，第380页。{Te 176.2}[23]
§54
Importance of an Early Start.--Too much importance cannot be placed upon the early training of children. The lessons learned, the habits formed, during the years of infancy and childhood, have more to do with the formation of the character and the direction of the life than have all the instruction and training of afteryears.--The Ministry of Healing, page 380. {Te 176.2}[23]
§55
早年习惯的深远影响——品格在很大程度上是早年形成的。那时所养成的习惯，比任何天赋有更大的影响力，可使人在智力上成为巨人或侏儒；因为最有才干的人也会因错误的习惯而扭曲和衰弱。人越早染上有害的习惯，这些习惯也就越牢固地奴役他，并且越确实地降低他属灵的标准。——《健康勉言》，第112, 113页。{Te 176.3}[24]
§56
Far-Reaching Influence of Early Habits.--The character is formed, to a great extent, in early years. The habits then established have more influence than any natural endowment, in making men either giants or dwarfs in intellect; for the very best talents may, through wrong habits, become warped and enfeebled. The earlier in life one contracts hurtful habits, the more firmly will they hold their victim in slavery, and the more certainly will they lower his standard of spirituality.-- Counsels on Health, pages 112, 113. {Te 176.3}[24]
§57
形成的习惯难改——要改掉在生活上放纵的习惯是非常困难的。不节制的魔鬼力量强大，不易战胜。……母亲们，把上帝赐给你们的宝贵时间用在陶冶你们儿女的品格上，教导他们在饮食上严格遵守节制的原则，是很值得的。——《基督徒节制与圣经卫生》，第79页。{Te 176.4}[25]
§58
Difficult to Unlearn Established Habits.--It is a most difficult matter to unlearn the habits which have been indulged through life. The demon of intemperance is of giant strength, and is not easily conquered. . . . It will pay you, mothers, to use the precious hours which are given you by God in forming the character of your children, and in teaching them to adhere strictly to the principles of temperance in eating and drinking.--Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, page 79. {Te 176.4}[25]
§59
很早养成对酒的爱好——要教导你的儿女讨厌兴奋剂。有多少人正在无知地培养对这些东西的爱好啊！我在欧洲曾看见护士们把葡萄酒或啤酒递给无辜小孩喝，从而养成他们对兴奋剂的口味。及至他们长大，就学会越来越依赖这些东西，直至他们逐渐为这种恶习所胜，到了无可救药的地步，最终进入酒徒的坟墓。——《论饮食》，第235页。{Te 177.1}[26]
§60
Creating Early Appetites for Liquor.--Teach your children to abhor stimulants. How many are ignorantly fostering in them an appetite for these things! In Europe I have seen nurses putting the glass of wine or beer to the lips of the innocent little ones, thus cultivating in them a taste for stimulants. As they grow older, they learn to depend more and more on these things, till little by little they are overcome, drift beyond the reach of help, and at last fill a drunkards grave.--Counsels on Diet and Foods, page 235. {Te 177.1}[26]
§61
最初的三年——要是让孩子在最初的三年生活中自私自利，任性易怒，就很难使他服从有益的训练了。性情已经变坏；喜爱自行其是，讨厌父母的管束。这些罪恶的倾向会与孩子一起成长，直到长成一个极度自私的人；缺乏自制使他被在我国流行的种种罪恶所支配。——《健康改革者》，1877年4月。{Te 177.2}[27]
§62
The First Three Years.--Let selfishness, anger and self-will have its course for the first three years of a childs life, and it will be hard to bring it to submit to wholesome discipline. Its disposition has become soured; it delights in having its own way; parental control is distasteful. These evil tendencies grow with its growth, until in manhood supreme selfishness and a lack of self-control place him at the mercy of the evils that run riot in our land.--Health Reformer, April, 1877. {Te 177.2}[27]
§63
父母的重大责任——食欲一旦养成，就很难克服。父母培养孩子纯洁的品味和纯正的食欲是多么重要啊！父母要始终记住，他们负有训练儿女的责任，使他们拥有道德的力量，去抵抗他们进入世界时会包围他们的罪恶。{Te 177.3}[28]
§64
Weighty Responsibility of Parents.--How difficult it is to obtain the victory over appetite when once it is established. How important that parents bring their children up with pure tastes and unperverted appetites. Parents should ever remember that upon them rests the responsibility of training their children in such a way that they will have moral stamina to resist the evil that will surround them when they go out into the world. {Te 177.3}[28]
§65
基督没有求祂的父把门徒们从这个世界带走，而是求祂保守他们脱离这世界的罪恶，保守他们不屈从到处会遇到的试探。父母应当为自己的儿女献上这样的祈祷。但他们求了上帝之后，就可以任凭自己的儿女为所欲为吗？如果父母不与上帝合作，上帝就不能保守他们的儿女远离罪恶。父母应勇敢而高兴地从事自己的工作，并以不倦的努力将之推进。——《评论与通讯》，1901年7月9日。{Te 177.4}[29]
§66
Christ did not ask His Father to take the disciples out of the world, but to keep them from the evil in the world, to keep them from yielding to the temptations which they would meet on every hand. This prayer fathers and mothers should offer for their children. But shall they plead with God, and then leave their children to do as they please? God cannot keep children from evil if the parents do not co-operate with Him. Bravely and cheerfully parents should take up their work, carrying it forward with unwearying endeavor.-- Review and Herald, July 9, 1901. {Te 177.4}[29]
§67
那些纵容孩子的食欲，不教育他控制情欲的人，以后会看见自己犯下了可怕的错误。他们的孩子喜爱吸烟喝酒，成了烟酒的奴隶，感官麻木了，嘴里说出虚谎和亵渎的话。——《健康勉言》，第114页。{Te 178.1}[30]
§68
Those who indulge a childs appetite, and do not teach him to control his passions, may afterward see, in the tobacco-loving, liquor-drinking slave, whose senses are benumbed, and whose lips utter falsehood and profanity, the terrible mistake they have made.--Counsels on Health, page 114. {Te 178.1}[30]
§69
塑造品格去抵制试探——不节制的最初几步通常都是在儿童或青年时期迈出的。既让孩子们吃刺激性的食物，就引起他们不自然的欲望。在成长的过程中，不断迎合这些堕落的食欲。口味继续扭曲，渴望并放纵更强的刺激品，直到不久以后食欲的奴隶抛弃了一切限制。这种祸害是从早年开始的，本来父母是可以防止的。我们看到我国为消除不节制而作出了艰巨的努力；但要制服和拴住这头强壮的大狮子确实很困难。{Te 178.2}[31]
§70
Molding the Character to Resist Temptation.--The first steps in intemperance are usually taken in childhood or early youth. Stimulating food is given to the child, and unnatural cravings are awakened. These depraved appetites are pandered to as they develop. The taste continually becomes more perverted; stronger stimulants are craved and are indulged in, till soon the slave of appetite throws aside all restraint. The evil commenced early in life, and could have been prevented by the parents. We witness strenuous efforts in our country to put down intemperance; but it is found a hard matter to overpower and chain the strong, full-grown lion. {Te 178.2}[31]
§71
如果把用来抵制这一大祸害的努力，放一半在教导父母们明白在养成儿女的习惯和品格方面的责任上，所得的益处就会比现在单与充分发长了的祸害搏斗强一千倍了。对烈酒的不自然欲望是在家里养成的，在许多情况下，是在那其热心倡导节制运动之人的餐桌上造成的。……{Te 178.3}[32]
§72
If half the efforts that are put forth to stay this giant evil were directed toward enlightening parents as to their responsibility in forming the habits and characters of their children, a thousandfold more good might result than from the present course of combating only the full-grown evil. The unnatural appetite for spirituous liquors is created at home, in many cases at the very tables of those who are most zealous to lead out in the temperance campaigns. . . . {Te 178.3}[32]
§73
父母不应轻视教育儿女的工作。他们应该多化时间去认真研究管理我们生命的律法。他们应当以学会正确教导儿女为首要目标，使儿女可以获得健康的智力和健康的身体。太多的父母被习惯所左右，而不是受健康理智和上帝要求的支配。许多自称跟从基督的人，不幸忽略了家庭的责任。他们没有认识到上帝交给他们责任的神圣价值，就是要塑造儿女的品格，使他们拥有道德的力量来抵制诱惑青年人的许多试探。——《时兆》，1890年11月17日。{Te 178.4}[33]
§74
Parents should not lightly regard the work of training their children. They should employ much time in careful study of the laws which regulate our being. They should make it their first object to learn the proper manner of dealing with their children, that they may secure to them sound minds in sound bodies. Too many parents are controlled by custom, instead of sound reason and the claims of God. Many who profess to be followers of Christ are sadly neglectful of home duties. They do not perceive the sacred importance of the trust which God has placed in their hands, so to mold the characters of their children that they will have moral stamina to resist the many temptations that ensnare the feet of youth.--Signs of the Times, No. 17, 1890. {Te 178.4}[33]
§75
从摇篮开始——父母们如果尽到了自己的责任，把健康的食物摆在餐桌上，不用刺激性的东西，同时教育孩子们自制，教导他们在品格中培养道德的力量，我们现在就不会被迫去对付不节制这头狮子了。放纵的习惯既已养成，与他们的一同成长，随着他们的力量的增长而加强，那些没有在年幼时受过正确训练的人，是很难消除他们的错误习惯，并学会克制自己和自己不自然食欲的。他们既已成年，要教导他们认识到基督徒节制的重要性是多么困难啊！节制的教育应当从摇篮里的婴孩开始。——《评论与通讯》，1876年5月11日。{Te 179.1}[34]
§76
Commence With the Cradle.--If parents had done their duty in spreading the table with wholesome food, discarding irritating and stimulating substances, and at the same time had taught their children self-control, and educated their characters to develop moral power, we should not now have to handle the lion of intemperance. After habits of indulgence have been formed, and grown with their growth and strengthened with their strength, how hard then for those who have not been properly trained in youth to break up their wrong habits and learn to restrain themselves and their unnatural appetites. How hard to teach such ones and make them feel the necessity of Christian temperance, when they reach maturity. The temperance lessons should commence with the child rocked in the cradle.--Review and Herald, May 11, 1876. {Te 179.1}[34]
§77
最后的结账——当末日审判之时，父母们要与儿女们相遇，那将是一场什么样的情景啊！成千上万的儿女，曾作食欲及卑鄙邪恶之奴隶，过道德破产的生活，这时将与那造成他们这种状况的父母们面面相遇。除父母们之外，还有谁要负起此可怕的责任呢?难道是上帝使这些青年人堕落么?断乎不是！祂按自己的形像造了他们，使他们比天使微小一点。——《教会证言》，卷三，第568页。{Te 179.2}[35]
§78
The Final Reckoning.--When parents and children meet at the final reckoning, what a scene will be presented! Thousands of children who have been slaves to appetite and debasing vice, whose lives are moral wrecks, will stand face to face with the parents who made them what they are. Who but the parents must bear this fearful responsibility? Did the Lord make these youth corrupt? Oh, no! He made them in His image, a little lower than the angels.--Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 568. {Te 179.2}[35]
§79
【4. 父母的榜样和指导】
§80
对品格负责——但是很少有父母认识到他们的孩子是他们的榜样和教育所造就的，以及他们要对孩子们所形成的品格负责。——《健康改革者》，1872年12月。{Te 180.1}[36]
§81
【4. Parental Example and Guidance】
§82
Responsible for Character.--But few parents realize that their children are what their example and discipline have made them, and that they are responsible for the characters their children develop.--The Health Reformer, December, 1872. {Te 180.1}[36]
§83
母亲要帮助儿女养成正确的习惯和纯洁的口味。要在食欲方面进行教育，教导儿女厌恶刺激品。养育孩子，要使他们拥有道德的力量，以抵御周围的罪恶。应当教育他们不因别人而动摇，不要屈服于强大的影响，却要去影响别人为善。——《服务真诠》，第334, 335页。{Te 180.2}[37]
§84
There is work for mothers in helping their children to form correct habits and pure tastes. Educate the appetite; teach the children to abhor stimulants. Bring your children up to have moral stamina to resist the evil that surrounds them. Teach them that they are not to be swayed by others, that they are not to yield to strong influences, but to influence others for good.--The Ministry of Healing, pages 334, 335. {Te 180.2}[37]
§85
母亲是榜样——妇女在家庭中的责任，其神圣与崇高，胜过宝座上的君王。她的伟大工作，就是让自己成为她乐愿儿女效法的榜样。——《教会证言》卷三，第566页。{Te 180.3}[38]
§86
The Mother an Example.--Woman is to fill a more sacred and elevated position in the family than the king upon his throne. Her great work is to make her life a living example which she would wish her children to copy.--Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 566. {Te 180.3}[38]
§87
在家庭生活一切细节上的节制——父母在生活中的行事为人，应当每日成为家庭克己自制的教训。……我们主张在家庭生活的一切细节中实施节制的原则；父母的榜样应成为节制的教训。——《时兆》，1882年4月20日。{Te 180.4}[39]
§88
Temperance in All Details of Home Life.--Parents should so conduct themselves that their lives will be a daily lesson of self-control and forbearance to their household. . . . We urge that the principles of temperance be carried into all the details of home life; that the example of parents should be a lesson of temperance.--Signs of the Times, April 20, 1882. {Te 180.4}[39]
§89
上帝必补足父母的努力——当你们负起作父母的责任，靠着上帝的大能，坚持不懈，忠于职守，努力使自己的儿女达到上帝的理想时，上帝必满含嘉许地垂顾你们。祂知道你们在尽力而为，祂必加添你们的力量。祂必亲自作父母所不能作的那部分工作；祂必与敬畏上帝的母亲智慧，忍耐，方向正确的努力相配合。父母们哪，上帝无意去做祂委托你们在家中去作的工。你们若希望自己的儿女得救脱离世上包围他们的危险，就不可好逸恶劳，作懒惰的仆人。——《评论与通讯》，1888年7月10日。{Te 180.5}[40]
§90
God Will Supplement the Parents Endeavors.--When you take up your duties as a parent, in the strength of God, with a firm determination never to relax your efforts, nor to leave your post of duty, in striving to make your children what God would have them, then God looks down upon you with approbation. He knows that you are doing the best you can, and He will increase your power. He will Himself do the part of the work that the mother or father cannot do; He will work with the wise, patient, well-directed efforts of the God-fearing mother. Parents, God does not propose to do the work that He has left for you to do in your home. You must not give up to indolence and be slothful servants, if you would have your children saved from the perils that surround them in the world.--Review and Herald, July 10, 1888. {Te 180.5}[40]
§91
【5. 教导克己与自制】
§92
从婴儿时期开始——应当从婴儿时期起就教导他们克己和自制，并贯彻执行，始终不渝。首先要教育孩子们明白吃饭是为了活着，活着却不是为了吃饭；要用意志来控制食欲；意志则须受冷静明智的理性所支配。——《时兆》，1882年4月20日。{Te 181.1}[41]
§93
【5. Teaching Self-Denial and Self-Control】
§94
Begin With Babyhood.--Self-denial and self-control should be taught to the children, and enforced upon them, so far as consistent, from babyhood. And first it is important that the little ones be taught that they eat to live, not live to eat; that appetite must be held in abeyance to the will; and that the will must be governed by calm, intelligent reason.--Signs of the Times, April 20, 1882. {Te 181.1}[41]
§95
教导改良的原则——作父母的人啊，你们要警醒祷告。要严格谨防各种不节制。要将真实的健康改良的原则教导儿女，使他们知道应当避免什么，以保持身体的健康。上帝的忿怒已开始临到那悖逆之子了。何等的罪行，何等的罪恶，以及何等为非作歹的事，正在各方面显出来！——《教会证言》卷九，第160页。{Te 181.2}[42]
§96
Teach Principles of Reform.--Fathers and mothers, watch unto prayer. Guard strictly against intemperance in every form. Teach your children the principles of true health reform. Teach them what things to avoid in order to preserve health. Already the wrath of God has begun to be visited upon the children of disobedience. What crimes, what sins, what iniquitous practices, are being revealed on every hand! --Testimonies, vol. 9, p. 160. {Te 181.2}[42]
§97
教导人生真正的目的——圣经已经发表了清楚的指示。母亲在父亲的配合和支持下，要实行这些原则，让儿女从婴孩时期起就养成自制的习惯。要教育他们明白人生的目的不是放纵肉体的欲望，而是荣耀上帝并造福同胞。{Te 181.3}[43]
§98
Teach the True Object of Life.--Explicit instructions have been given in the word of God. Let these principles be carried out by the mother, with the co-operation and support of the father, and let children be trained from infancy to habits of self-control. Let them be taught that it is not the object of life to indulge sensual appetites, but to honor God and to bless their fellow men. {Te 181.3}[43]
§99
父母们哪，要认真忠诚地工作，依赖上帝求得恩典和智慧。要坚定而温柔。你们所有的命令都要以谋求你们儿女的最高利益为目标，然后要确保这些命令的实施。你们要有坚定不移的力量和决心，但要始终顺服基督的灵。这样，我们定有希望看到“我们的儿子从幼年好像树栽子长大；我们的女儿如同殿角石，是按建宫的样式凿成的”（诗144:12）。——《时兆》，1910年9月13日。{Te 181.4}[44]
§100
Fathers and mothers, labor earnestly and faithfully, relying on God for grace and wisdom. Be firm and yet mild. In all your commands aim to secure the highest good of your children, and then see that these commands are obeyed. Your energy and decision must be unwavering, yet ever in subjection to the Spirit of Christ. Then indeed may we hope to see our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace.--Signs of the Times, Sept. 13, 1910. {Te 181.4}[44]
§101
儿女成为酒徒，父母难辞其咎——不节制的行为泛滥到可怕的程度，普遍令人感到悲哀；但是我们认为最初的原因是在父母身上；他们放在餐桌上的东西培养了儿女对刺激性食品的欲望。他们自己在儿女的身上撒下了不节制的种子。如果儿女成为酒徒，父母是难辞其咎的。——《健康改革者》，1877年5月。{Te 182.1}[45]
§102
Parents to Blame if Children Are Drunkards.--There is a general mourning that intemperance prevails to such a fearful extent; but we fasten the primal cause upon fathers and mothers who have provided upon their tables the means by which the appetites of their children are educated for exciting stimulants. They themselves have sown in their children the seeds of intemperance, and it is their fault if they become drunkards. --Health Reformer, May, 1877. {Te 182.1}[45]
§103
食物常常会引起对刺激性饮料的欲望。摆在孩子们面前的，是珍馐美味——加了香料的食物，油腻的肉汤和糕饼点心。这种重味的食物会刺激胃，引起对更强烈刺激品的欲望。孩子们不仅可以随便吃不合适的食物，以引诱他们的食欲，并且允许他们在两餐之间吃零食。这样，到了十二或十四岁的时候，他们往往就患上了严重的消化不良。{Te 182.2}[46]
§104
The food is often such as to excite a desire for stimulating drinks. Luxurious dishes are placed before the children,-- spiced foods, rich gravies, cakes, and pastries. This highly seasoned food irritates the stomach, and causes a craving for still stronger stimulants. Not only is the appetite tempted with unsuitable food, of which the children are allowed to eat freely at their meals, but they are permitted to eat between meals, and by the time they are twelve or fourteen years of age they are often confirmed dyspeptics. {Te 182.2}[46]
§105
你们也许看过一张嗜酒者肠胃的照片。在辛辣香料的刺激下，也会产生类似的状况。胃在这种情况下会渴求更多刺激性更强的东西，来满足食欲的要求。接下来你就会发现自己的孩子出去到街上学习抽烟了。——《论饮食》，第235, 236页。{Te 182.3}[47]
§106
You have perhaps seen a picture of the stomach of one who is addicted to strong drink. A similar condition is produced under the irritating influence of fiery spices. With the stomach in such a state, there is a craving for something more to meet the demands of the appetite, something stronger, and still stronger. Next you find your sons out on the street learning to smoke.--Counsels on Diet and Foods, pages 235, 236. {Te 182.3}[47]
§107
不节制的道路——父母在无知或疏忽中，给自己的孩子上了不节制的最初几课。餐桌上摆满了有害的调味品，油腻的食品，加了香料的点心，孩子养成了对他有害的口味，刺激柔软的胃膜，使血液发热，加强了动物的欲念。这种食欲不久就渴望某种更强烈的东西，于是用烟草来满足那种欲望。这样的放纵不仅加强了对刺激品不自然的渴望，不久人就想喝酒了，接下来便喝醉了。这不是节制的康庄大道。——《评论与通讯》，1877年9月6日。{Te 182.4}[48]
§108
Highway of Intemperance.--In their ignorance or carelessness, parents give their children the first lessons in intemperance. At the table, loaded with injurious condiments, rich food, and spiced knickknacks, the child acquires a taste for that which is hurtful to him, which tends to irritate the tender coats of the stomach, inflame the blood, and strengthen the animal passions. The appetite soon craves something stronger, and tobacco is used to gratify that craving. This indulgence only increasing the unnatural longing for stimulants, liquor drinking is soon resorted to, and drunkenness follows. This is the course of the great highway to intemperance.--Review and Herald, Sept. 6, 1877. {Te 182.4}[48]
§109
道德力瘫痪了——藉着食欲的通道，情欲激发起来了，道德力瘫痪了，于是父母关于道德和真善良原则的教导落到了儿女的耳中，却达不到他们的内心。圣经最可怕的警告也不足以激发起麻痹的悟性，唤醒被践踏了的良心。{Te 183.1}[49]
§110
Moral Powers Paralyzed.--Through the channel of appetite, the passions are inflamed, and the moral powers are paralyzed, so that parental instruction in the principles of morality and true goodness falls upon the ear without affecting the heart. The most fearful warnings and threatenings of the word of God are not powerful enough to arouse the benumbed intellect and awaken the violated conscience. {Te 183.1}[49]
§111
食欲和情欲的放纵使人心发热和衰弱，无法接受教育。我们的青年人既需要文理科的知识，也需要生理学的教育。让他们明白他们的饮食和一般习惯与健康和生命的关系是很重要的。他们了解自己的身体结构以后，就会明白如何防止衰弱和疾病。有了健康的身体，就有希望完成任何任务。仁慈，爱心和虔诚可以培养起来。身体活力的缺乏会表现在道德力的薄弱上。使徒说：“所以，不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王，使你们顺从身子的私欲”（罗6:12）。——《健康改革者》，1872年12月。{Te 183.2}[50]
§112
The indulgence of appetite and passion fever and debilitate the mind, and disqualify for education. Our youth need a physiological education as well as other literary and scientific knowledge. It is important for them to understand the relation that their eating and drinking, and general habits, have to health and life. As they understand their own frames, they will know how to guard against debility and disease. With a sound constitution, there is hope of accomplishing almost anything. Benevolence, love, and piety, can be cultivated. A want of physical vigor will be manifested in the weakened moral powers. The apostle says, Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.--Health Reformer, December, 1872. {Te 183.2}[50]
§113
与别人有关系——你们应当研究凡事节制。你们必须在吃什么喝什么上研究凡事节制。可是你们却说：“我吃什么，喝什么，我在餐桌上摆什么，这和别人没有任何关系。”然而，这和别人是有关系的，除非你们能把儿女关起来，或是到人迹罕至、你们不会成为别人重担的旷野，或者到你们邪恶不驯的儿女不会对所处的社会产生败坏影响的地方。——《教会证言》卷二，第362页。{Te 183.3}[51]
§114
It is Somebodys Business.--You should study temperance in all things. You must study it in what you eat and in what you drink. And yet you say: It is nobodys business what I eat, or what I drink, or what I place upon my table. It is somebodys business, unless you take your children and shut them up, or go into the wilderness where you will not be a burden upon others, and where your unruly, vicious children will not corrupt the society in which they mingle.--Testimonies, vol. 2, p. 362. {Te 183.3}[51]
§115
教育儿女在道德上自立——父母应当教导儿女在道德上自立，不凭冲动和爱好行事，而要运用他们的思维能力，根据原则办事。但愿母亲们不追求最新的时尚，而追求本分和效用之途，并指导儿女行在其上。对于青年人来说，简朴的习惯，纯正的道德，以及在正路上的高贵自立，比各种天赋，学识或世界所能给提供的外表装饰更有价值。要教导你们的儿女行走义路，他们又转而带领别人走在义路上。这样，你们最后就会看到自己的一生没有虚度，因为你们已成了将宝贵的果实收到上帝仓中的工具。——《评论与通讯》，1883年11月6日。{Te 184.1}[52]
§116
Educate for Moral Independence.--Parents should educate their children to have moral independence, not to follow impulse and inclination, but to exercise their reasoning powers, and to act from principle. Let mothers inquire, not for the latest fashion, but for the path of duty and usefulness, and direct the steps of their children therein. Simple habits, pure morals, and a noble independence in the right course, will be of more value to the youth than the gifts of genius, the endowments of learning, or the external polish which the world can give them. Teach your children to walk in the ways of righteousness, and they, in turn, will lead others into the same path. Thus may you see at last that your life has not been in vain, for you have been instrumental in bringing precious fruit to the garner of God.--Review and Herald, Nov. 6, 1883. {Te 184.1}[52]
§117
父母应当研究生命的定律——父母们应当以明白生命与健康之律为首要之务，不容自己烹饪任何食物或因其他任何习惯，而在儿女身上形成不良的倾向。母亲们更当小心研究，为儿女预备最清淡，最有益健康的食物，使消化器官不致削弱，神经系统不致失衡；她们给儿女的教导，不致因摆在面前的食物而抵消。这种食物要么削弱，要么加强儿女的肠胃器官，与控制身体和道德健康有很大的关系。儿女是上帝的宝血所买来的产业。父母们所接受的，是多么神圣的委托啊！他们应当保护儿女的身体组织和道德品质，使神经系统保持稳定，心灵不至受到危害。——《教会证言》，卷三，第568页。{Te 184.2}[53]
§118
Parents to Study the Laws of Life.--Parents should make it their first business to understand the laws of life and health, that nothing shall be done by them in the preparation of food, or through any other habits, which will develop wrong tendencies in their children. How carefully should mothers study to prepare their tables with the most simple, healthful food, that the digestive organs may not be weakened, the nervous forces unbalanced, and the instruction which they should give their children counteracted by the food placed before them. This food either weakens or strengthens the organs of the stomach and has much to do in controlling the physical and moral health of the children, who are Gods blood-bought property. What a sacred trust is committed to parents to guard the physical and moral constitutions of their children so that the nervous system may be well balanced, and the soul not be endangered!--Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 568. {Te 184.2}[53]
§119
儿童也要明白生理学——父母应当设法使儿童对研究生理学发生兴趣。人在懂事的时候起，就当明白身体的构造。我们观察和赞叹上帝的自然界，但人体的结构是最奇妙的。所以在安排儿童功课时，将生理学置于重要位置，是很重要的。所有的儿童应当研究它。同时父母也要增设实用卫生学。{Te 184.3}[54]
§120
Children Also to Understand Physiology.--Parents should seek to awaken in their children an interest in the study of physiology. From the first dawn of reason the human mind should become intelligent in regard to the physical structure. We may behold and admire the work of God in the natural world, but the human habitation is the most wonderful. It is therefore of the highest importance that among the studies selected for children, physiology occupy an important place. All children should study it. And then parents should see to it that practical hygiene is added. {Te 184.3}[54]
§121
应当教导儿童明白，身体的每一组织，心智的每一才能，都是一位良善智慧的上帝所赐的，应当用来荣耀祂。要在吃喝和衣着方面，养成良好的习惯。不良的习惯，会妨碍青年领受圣经的教训。要防止儿童放纵食欲，尤其是兴奋剂和麻醉品。——《基督教育之研究》，第125, 126页。{Te 185.1}[55]
§122
Children are to be trained to understand that every organ of the body and every faculty of the mind is the gift of a good and wise God, and that each is to be used to His glory. Right habits in eating and drinking and dressing must be insisted upon. Wrong habits render the youth less susceptible to Bible instruction. The children are to be guarded against the indulgence of appetite, and especially against the use of stimulants and narcotics.--Counsels to Teachers, pages 125, 126. {Te 185.1}[55]
§123
准备应付试探——应当教育和训练孩子们，使他们能认真对付各种困难，并能预料各种试探和危险。要教导他们约束自己，勇敢地克服困难。只要他们不故意冒险，不无谓地置身于试探的道路，避免邪恶的影响和不良的友伴，则万一被迫与危险的人接触，他们就必具有品格的力量，能维护正义，坚持原则，靠着上帝的大能，使自己的品德不受污染。受过正确教育的青年人，如果能依靠上帝，他们的道德力量就能经得起最严峻的考验。——《健康改革者》，1872年12月。{Te 185.2}[56]
§124
Prepared to Meet Temptation.--Children should be trained and educated so that they may calculate to meet with difficulties, and expect temptations and dangers. They should be taught to have control over themselves, and to nobly overcome difficulties; and if they do not willfully rush into danger, and needlessly place themselves in the way of temptation; if they avoid evil influences and vicious society, and then are unavoidably compelled to be in dangerous company, they will have strength of character to stand for the right and preserve principle, and will come forth in the strength of God with their morals untainted. The moral powers of youth who have been properly educated, if they make God their trust, will be equal to stand the most powerful test.--Health Reformer, December, 1872. {Te 185.2}[56]
§125
如果节制的正确原则能灌输到了将要形成并影响社会的青年人心中，就不必开展禁酒运动了。坚定的品格和道德的约束力就会占上风。他们就会靠着耶稣的力量，抵制末日的试探。——《基督徒节制与圣经卫生》，第79页。{Te 185.3}[57]
§126
If right principles in regard to temperance were implanted in the youth who are to form and mold society, there would be little necessity for temperance crusades. Firmness of character, moral control, would prevail, and in the strength of Jesus the temptations of these last days would be resisted.-- Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, page 79. {Te 185.3}[57]
§127
【6. 青年和将来】
§128
将来的指南——今日的青年如何，将来的社会也一定如何。鉴于他们现在的表现，我们今后还能指望什么呢？大多数青年人都喜爱娱乐而不愿意工作。他们缺少道德的勇气克己并回应本分的要求。他们没有什么自制力，动不动就激动生气。各种年龄段和各种身份的人中都有许多没有原则或良心的人；他们生性懒惰挥霍，迅速陷入罪恶，败坏社会，直到我们的世界变成第二个所多玛。——《基督徒节制与圣经卫生》，第45页。{Te 186.1}[58]
§129
【6. Youth and the Future】
§130
An Index to the Future.--The youth of today are a sure index to the future of society; and as we view them, what can we hope for that future? The majority are fond of amusement and averse to work. They lack moral courage to deny self and to respond to the claims of duty. They have but little self-control, and become excited and angry on the slightest occasion. Very many in every age and station of life are without principle or conscience; and with their idle, spendthrift habits they are rushing into vice and are corrupting society, until our world is becoming a second Sodom.--Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, page 45. {Te 186.1}[58]
§131
养成良好习惯的时间——人如果在年轻时养成正确善良的习惯，这些习惯通常就会伴随他终生。在大多数情况下，我们发现凡长大以后敬畏上帝尊重正义的人，在世俗的罪恶形像尚未印在他们心中之前，就已学到了这个教训。成年人的心往往象坚硬的石头，难以接受新的印象；青年人却是易受感动的。青年正是通过生活获得日常实际知识的时候；这时良好的品格很容易形成。这是建立正确习惯，获得并保持自制力的时候。青年乃是撒种的时期；所撒的种子决定今生和来生的收成。——《健康勉言》，第113页。{Te 186.2}[59]
§132
The Time to Establish Good Habits.--If correct and virtuous habits are formed in youth, they will generally mark the course of the possessor through life. In most cases, it will be found that those who in later life reverence God and honor the right, learned that lesson before there was time for the world to stamp its image of sin upon the soul. Those of mature age are generally as insensible to new impressions as is the hardened rock; but youth is impressible. Youth is the time to acquire knowledge for daily practice through life; a right character may then be easily formed. It is the time to establish good habits, to gain and to hold the power of self-control. Youth is the sowing time, and the seed sown determines the harvest, both for this life and the life to come.-- Counsels on Health, page 113. {Te 186.2}[59]
§133
节制就是勇敢——确保抵制不节制势力的唯一方法，就是完全禁戒葡萄酒，啤酒和其他酒类。我们要教导孩子们，他们若要成为勇敢的人，就必须远离这些东西。上帝已指示我们什么是真正的勇敢。只有得胜的人才会受到尊荣；他的名字也不会从生命册上涂抹。——《基督徒节制与圣经卫生》，第37页。{Te 186.3}[60]
§134
To Be Temperate Is to Be Manly.--The only way in which any can be secure against the power of intemperance, is to abstain wholly from wine, beer, and strong drinks. We must teach our children that in order to be manly they must let these things alone. God has shown us what constitutes true manliness. It is he that overcometh who will be honored, and whose name will not be blotted out of the book of life.-- Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, page 37. {Te 186.3}[60]
§135
在我们的大城市中，到处都有酒馆，引诱过路人放纵食欲。这种食欲一旦形成就很难克服。要教导青年人决不沾烟酒。酒精会使人丧失理智。——《评论与通讯》，1905年6月15日。{Te 187.1}[61]
§136
In our large cities there are saloons on the right hand and on the left, tempting passers-by to indulge an appetite which, once established, is exceedingly hard to overcome. The youth should be trained never to touch tobacco or intoxicating drink. Alcohol robs men of their reasoning powers.--Review and Herald, June 15, 1905. {Te 187.1}[61]
§137
拿答和亚比户已养成饮酒的习惯——任何削弱体力的东西都会削弱人的智力，使人辩不清善恶。拿答和亚比户的事例说明了这个原则。上帝要他们去完成一项非常神圣的任务，让他们在指派给他们的侍奉中亲近祂；但是他们有饮酒的习惯，稀里糊涂地开始圣所的侍奉。……“就有火从耶和华面前出来，把他们烧灭，他们就死在耶和华面前”（利10:2）。——《基督教育原理》，第427, 428页。{Te 187.2}[62]
§138
Nadab and Abihu Had Formed the Habit of Drinking.-- Anything that lessens the physical power enfeebles the mind, and makes it less clear to discriminate between good and evil, between right and wrong. This principle is illustrated in the case of Nadab and Abihu. God gave them a most sacred work to perform, permitting them to come near to Himself in their appointed service; but they had a habit of drinking wine, and they entered upon the holy service in the sanctuary with confused minds. . . . And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.--Fundamentals of Christian Education, pages 427, 428. {Te 187.2}[62]
§139
给父母和青年的警告——父母和孩子应当从拿答和亚比户的历史中得到警告。食欲一经放纵就会扭曲思维能力，引人违犯明确的诫命，招惹上帝的审判。虽然孩子们可能没有受过正确的教育，他们的品格也没有得到适当的塑造，但他们如果愿意听从上帝的命令，祂就会让他们与祂联络，就象祂对待拿答和亚比户那样。如果他们肯凭着信心和勇气将自己的意志顺服于上帝的旨意，祂就会教导他们，而他们的生活就会象洁白的百合花，在安静的水边充满了香气。他们必决心靠着耶稣的力量去控制爱好和情欲，每天胜过撒但的试探。这是上帝为人划出的道路，要他们实行祂崇高的宗旨。——《时兆》，1880年7月8日。{Te 187.3}[63]
§140
A Warning to Parents and Youth.--Parents and children should be warned by the history of Nadab and Abihu. Appetite, indulged, perverted the reasoning powers, and led to the breaking of an express command, which brought the judgment of God upon them. Notwithstanding children may not have had the right instruction, and their characters not have been properly molded, God proposes to connect them with Himself as He did Nadab and Abihu, if they will heed His commands. If they will with faith and courage bring their will in submission to the will of God, He will teach them, and their lives may be like the pure white lily, full of fragrance on the stagnant waters. They must resolve in the strength of Jesus to control inclination and passion, and every day win victories over Satans temptations. This is the way God has marked out for men to serve His high purposes.--Signs of the Times, July 8, 1880. {Te 187.3}[63]
§141
值得尊重的人——青年人若决心让自己的食欲受上帝的控制，拒绝饮酒的第一次试探，彬彬有礼而坚定地回答：“不，谢谢”，他就是一个值得尊重的人。但愿青年人采取完全戒酒的立场，尽管世上居高位的人没有道德的勇气站稳立场，勇敢地抵制摧毁健康和生命的习惯。——《怀爱伦信函》1903年166号。{Te 188.1}[64]
§142
The One Worthy of Honor.--The young man who is determined to keep his appetite under the control of God, and who refuses the first temptation to drink intoxicating liquor, saying courteously, but firmly, No, thank you, is the one who is worthy of honor. Let young men take their stand as total abstainers, even though the men standing high in the world have not the moral courage to take their stand boldly against a habit that is ruinous to health and life.--Letter 166, 1903. {Te 188.1}[64]
§143
一个献身青年的影响——一个受过正确家庭教育的青年人，会用坚固的材料建造自己的品格，如果他正确地使用自己的能力，他就会藉着自己的榜样和生活，在世上成为一种力量，带领别人在义路上向上并向前。一个人的得救会带来许多人的得救。——《评论与通讯》，1888年7月10日。{Te 188.2}[65]
§144
The Influence of One Consecrated Youth.--One youth who has been instructed by right home training, will bring solid timbers into his character building, and by his example and life, if his powers are rightly employed, he will become a power in our world to lead others upward and onward in the path of righteousness. The salvation of one soul is the salvation of many souls.--Review and Herald, July 10, 1888. {Te 188.2}[65]
§145
编织习惯之网——要记住你每天都在为自己编织习惯之网。如果这些习惯符合圣经的准则，你就每天前往天国，在恩典和真理的知识上长进。上帝会象对但以理那样，赐给你智慧。你不会选择自我满足的道路。要实行最严格的节制习惯，小心持守上帝所设管理你身体的律法为圣。上帝对你的各项能力有要求；所以疏忽健康律就是犯罪。你越遵守健康律，就越能看清并抵挡试探，并越发清楚地看到永恒事物的价值。——《青年导报》，1886年8月25日。{Te 188.3}[66]
§146
Weaving a Web of Habits.--Remember that you are daily weaving for yourself a web of habits. If these habits are according to the Bible rule, you are going every day in steps heavenward, growing in grace and the knowledge of the truth; and like Daniel, God will give you wisdom as He gave to him. You will not choose the paths of selfish gratification. Practice habits of strictest temperance, and be careful to keep sacred the laws which God has established to govern your physical being. God has claims upon your powers, therefore careless inattention to the laws of health is sin. The better you observe the laws of health, the more clearly can you discern temptations, and resist them, and the more clearly can you discern the value of eternal things.--Youths Instructor, Aug. 25, 1886, p. 135. {Te 188.3}[66]
§147
但以理的榜样——没有一个青年人会受到比但以理和他的同伴更加严厉的试探。王桌上的酒和肉分配给了这四个希伯来青年，但他们决定实行节制。他们看到了各方面的危险。他们如果要抵制试探，自己就必须作出最坚决的努力，并把后果交托给上帝。凡希望象但以理那样屹然而立的青年人，必须充分利用他们的属灵能力，与上帝合作，完全依靠祂的能力。祂应许将这能力赐给凡存着谦卑顺从的心来到祂面前的人。{Te 189.1}[67]
§148
Daniels Example.--No young man or young woman could be more sorely tempted than were Daniel and his companions. To these four Hebrew youth were apportioned wine and meat from the kings table. But they chose to be temperate. They saw that perils were on every side, and that if they resisted temptation, they must make most decided efforts on their part, and trust the results with God. The youth who desire to stand as Daniel stood must exert their spiritual powers to the very utmost, co-operating with God, and trusting wholly in the strength that He has promised to all who come to Him in humble obedience. {Te 189.1}[67]
§149
在德行和恶行之间不断地进行斗争。恶行不和谐的因素与德行的纯正原则，总是在争夺主权。撒但在放纵食欲方面正以某种形式的试探接近每一个人。不节制的行为泛滥到可怕的程度。我们无论往哪里看，都会看见人们钟情于这种祸害。{Te 189.2}[68]
§150
There is a constant warfare to be maintained between virtue and vice. The discordant elements of the one, and the pure principles of the other, are at work striving for the mastery. Satan is approaching every soul with some form of temptation on the point of indulgence of appetite. Intemperance is fearfully prevalent. Look where we will, we behold this evil fondly cherished. {Te 189.2}[68]
§151
值得尊敬的拒绝——跟从耶稣的人决不会以在凡事上实行节制为耻。那为什么青年人会脸红害羞，不敢拒绝葡萄酒杯或冒着泡沫的啤酒呢？拒绝放纵扭曲的食欲是一种值得尊敬的行为。犯罪就是懦弱；沉湎于有害的饮食习惯是软弱，胆怯，堕落的表现；但拒绝扭曲的食欲则是坚强，勇敢，高尚的行为。在巴比伦的宫廷中，但以理被各种犯罪的诱惑所包围，但靠着基督的帮助，他保持了自己的忠贞。那在一切得胜的能力都唾手可得的时候仍不能抗拒试探的人，在天国的册子上不会被登记为勇敢的人。{Te 189.3}[69]
§152
Honorable to Refuse.--The followers of Jesus will never be ashamed to practice temperance in all things. Then why should any young man blush with shame to refuse the wine cup or the foaming mug of beer? A refusal to indulge perverted appetite is an honorable act. To sin is unmanly; to indulge in injurious habits of eating and drinking is weak, cowardly, debased; but to deny perverted appetite is strong, brave, noble. In the Babylonian court, Daniel was surrounded by allurements to sin, but by the help of Christ he maintained his integrity. He who cannot resist temptation, when every facility for overcoming has been placed within his reach, is not registered in the books of heaven as a man. {Te 189.3}[69]
§153
“当敢效法但以理，当敢独自立”（布利斯《效法但以理》）！要敢于行义。当你听到恶同伴的诡计时，若在他们面前懦弱地保持沉默，你就与他们同流合污了。“主说：你们务要从他们中间出来，与他们分别，不要沾不洁净的物，我就收纳你们，我要作你们的父，你们要作我的儿女”（林后6:17,18）。{Te 189.4}[70]
§154
Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone! Have courage to do the right. A cowardly and silent reserve before evil associates, while you listen to their devices, makes you one with them. Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters. {Te 189.4}[70]
§155
需要道德的勇气——在任何时间和任何地点，都需要有道德勇气坚持严格节制的原则。我们这样做，就会让那些没有杜绝一切刺激物的人惊奇。但我们如果效法所交往之人的有害习惯和做法，又怎么能推进改革的工作呢？……{Te 190.1}[71]
§156
Moral Courage Needed.--At all times and on all occasions it requires moral courage to adhere to the principles of strict temperance. We may expect that by following such a course we shall surprise those who do not totally abstain from all stimulants; but how are we to carry forward the work of reform if we conform to the injurious habits and practices of those with whom we associate? . . . {Te 190.1}[71]
§157
每一个青年人今日都能奉耶稣的名并靠着祂的力量，在扭曲的食欲方面战胜仇敌。我亲爱的青年朋友，要一步一步前进，直到你们所有的习惯都与生命和健康的律法和谐一致。那在旷野得胜试探的主宣布：“得胜的，我要赐他在我宝座上与我同坐，就如我得了胜，在我父的宝座上与祂同坐一般”（启3:21）。——《青年导报》，1903年7月16日。{Te 190.2}[72]
§158
In the name and strength of Jesus every youth may conquer the enemy today on the point of perverted appetite. My dear young friends, advance step by step, until all your habits shall be in harmony with the laws of life and health. He who overcame in the wilderness of temptation declares: To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne.--The Youths Instructor, July 16, 1903. {Te 190.2}[72]
§159
不因试探而动摇——但以理爱上帝，敬畏上帝，顺从上帝。但他没有为躲避世界腐败的影响而逃离世界。根据上帝天意的安排，他身在世界但不属于世界。虽有宫廷生活的种种试探和诱惑包围着他，但他忠贞不屈，稳如磐石地坚持原则。他以上帝为他的力量，在最需要的时候，祂必不离弃他。——《教会证言》卷四，第569页。{Te 190.3}[73]
§160
Not Removed From Temptation.--Daniel loved, feared, and obeyed God. Yet he did not flee away from the world to avoid its corrupting influence. In the providence of God he was to be in the world yet not of the world. With all the temptations and fascinations of court life surrounding him, he stood in the integrity of his soul, firm as a rock in his adherence to principle. He made God his strength and was not forsaken of Him in his time of greatest need.--Testimonies, vol. 4, pp. 569, 570. {Te 190.3}[73]
§161
忠心地进行家庭训练的成效——但以理的父母在他的童年时代曾训练他养成严格节制的习惯。他们教导他必须在一切习惯上顺从自然律；他的饮食对他的身体，心智和道德的本性有直接的影响；他要为自己的能力向上帝交账；因为他拥有的这一切都是上帝的恩赐，不可因任何行为妨碍或削弱这些能力。由于这种教训的结果，上帝的律法在他的心中得到高举和崇敬。但以理在被掳的头几年，经历了一场严峻的考验，让他熟悉宫廷的奢华，虚伪和异教的风习。这真是一所奇怪的学校，怎么能使他过节制，勤劳和忠诚的人生呢？但他的生活却没有被周围邪恶的气氛所败坏。{Te 190.4}[74]
§162
The Result of Faithful Home Training.--Daniels parents had trained him in his childhood to habits of strict temperance. They had taught him that he must conform to natures laws in all his habits; that his eating and drinking had a direct influence upon his physical, mental, and moral nature, and that he was accountable to God for his capabilities; for he held them all as a gift from God, and must not, by any course of action, dwarf or cripple them. As the result of this teaching, the law of God was exalted in his mind, and reverenced in his heart. During the early years of his captivity, Daniel was passing through an ordeal which was to familiarize him with courtly grandeur, with hypocrisy, and with paganism. A strange school indeed to fit him for a life of sobriety, industry, and faithfulness! And yet he lived uncorrupted by the atmosphere of evil with which he was surrounded. {Te 190.4}[74]
§163
但以理和他青年同伴的经验，说明了节制饮食的好处，并说明上帝将为那些愿意与祂合作净化升华自己心灵的人，施行何等的大事。他们是上帝的光荣，也是巴比伦宫廷中光华四射的明光。{Te 191.1}[75]
§164
The experience of Daniel and his youthful companions illustrates the benefits that may result from an abstemious diet, and shows what God will do for those who will co-operate with Him in the purifying and uplifting of the soul. They were an honor to God, and a bright and shining light in the court of Babylon. {Te 191.1}[75]
§165
上帝对我们的呼召——在这段历史中，我们听到上帝对我们每一个人说话的声音。祂吩咐我们接受有关基督徒节制的全部宝贵亮光，使我们摆正与健康律的关系。{Te 191.2}[76]
§166
Gods Call to Us.--In this history we hear the voice of God addressing us individually, bidding us gather up all the precious rays of light upon this subject of Christian temperance, and place ourselves in right relation to the laws of health. {Te 191.2}[76]
§167
我们想要享有一份永远的产业。我们想在上帝的城中有一个位置，远离所有不洁。全天庭都在注视着我们如何与试探作战。凡自称信奉基督圣名的人在世人面前行事为人应当言传身教地传授真生活的原则。“所以弟兄们，我以上帝的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上，当作活祭，是圣洁的，是上帝所喜悦的，你们如此侍奉，乃是理所当然的”（罗12:1）。——《基督徒节制与圣经卫生》，第23, 24页。{Te 191.3}[77]
§168
We want a share in the eternal inheritance. We want a place in the city of God, free from every impurity. All heaven is watching to see how we are fighting the battle against temptation. Let all who profess the name of Christ so walk before the world that they may teach by example as well as precept the principles of true living. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.--Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, pages 23, 24. {Te 191.3}[77]
§169
学生们要注意——食物的选择和饮食习惯对人的健康大有影响。许多学生从来没有下决心来管理自己的食欲，遵循正确的饮食习惯。一些人一下子吃得太多。一些人在两餐之间想吃的时候，就吃零食。{Te 191.4}[78]
§170
Students to Take Care.--The character of the food and the manner in which it is eaten exert a powerful influence on the health. Many students have never made a determined effort to control the appetite, or to observe proper rules in regard to eating. Some eat too much at their meals, and some eat between meals whenever the temptation is presented. {Te 191.4}[78]
§171
我们应当启发所有的学生都注意饮食的习惯。我蒙指示，凡进入我们学校的人不可吃肉食和不卫生的食物。凡有刺激性的食物不可摆在桌子上。我劝所有的人都不要吃有碍健康的东西。这样，他们才能藉着牺牲事奉主。——《基督教育之研究》，第297，298页。{Te 192.1}[79]
§172
The need of carefulness in habits of diet should be impressed on the minds of all students. I have been instructed that those attending our schools are not to be served with flesh foods or with preparations of food that are known to be unwholesome. Nothing that will serve to encourage a desire for stimulants should be placed on the table. I appeal to all to refuse to eat those things that will injure the health. Thus they can serve the Lord by sacrifice.--Counsels to Teachers, pages 297, 298. {Te 192.1}[79]
§173
维护你们勇敢的自主权——青年人哪，你们以为自己吃不下健康学院所提供有益健康的简单食物，必须下饭馆去吃满足你们食欲的东西；现在应该唤醒你们维护你们勇敢的自主权了。——《怀爱伦文稿》1888年3号。{Te 192.2}[80]
§174
Assert Your Manly Liberty.--Young men, who think that you cannot eat the simple wholesome food provided at the Health Institute and that you must go down to the restaurant and get something to gratify your appetite, it is time for you to arouse and assert your manly liberty.--Manuscript 3, 1888. {Te 192.2}[80]
§175
不要踏进试探——你会让属世暂时的工作把你带进试探吗？你会怀疑爱你的主吗？你会忽视所赐给你侍奉上帝的工作吗？你所结交的人是属世，耽于声色和恶魔般的。你吸入了道德的污浊之气，处在严重的危险之中，如果不摆正与耶稣的关系，以祂的生活和品格为你的标准，你就会在本可得胜之处失败。现在，为了逃避世上从私欲而来的败坏，你必须与上帝的性情有分。你的责任是把你的心灵保守在属天的气氛中。{Te 192.3}[81]
§176
Enter Not Into Temptation.--Will you allow temporal, earthly employment to lead you into temptation? Will you doubt your Lord, who loves you? Will you neglect the work given you, of doing service for God? Your associations are with a class who are earthly, sensual, and devilish. You have breathed moral malaria, and you are in serious danger of failing where you might win if you would place yourself in right relation with Jesus, making His life and character your criterion. Now, in order to escape the corruption that is in the world through lust, you must be a partaker of the divine nature. It is your duty to keep your soul in the atmosphere of heaven. {Te 192.3}[81]
§177
你不该置身于会被放荡的同伴败坏的地方。作为一个爱你灵魂的人，我恳劝你尽可能不与荒淫，放荡，不敬虔的人交往。要祈求说：“不叫我们遇见试探，”也就是说，“主啊，不要让我们被试探的袭击所胜。”要警醒祷告，免得踏进试探。被试探和踏进试探是不同的。——《怀爱伦信函》1893年8号。{Te 192.4}[82]
§178
You should not place yourself where you will be corrupted by dissolute companionship. As one who loves your soul I beseech you to shun, as far as possible, the company of the profligate, the licentious, and the ungodly. Pray, Lead us not into temptation, that is, Do not, O Lord, suffer us to be overcome when assailed by temptation. Watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation. There is a difference between being tempted, and entering into temptation.--Letter 8, 1893. {Te 192.4}[82]
§179
耶稣的社交和节制——耶稣谴责不节制，自我放纵和愚昧的行为；然而祂的天性却是乐群的。祂应邀与贫穷受苦的人和有学识有地位的人一同进餐。在这些场合，祂的谈话总是提高人教育人的，使祂的听众着迷。祂不赞同放荡狂欢的场面，但祂喜欢天真无罪的快乐。犹太人的婚姻是一种严肃动人的礼节。其中的快乐也是人子所喜悦的。——《救赎》（或《耶稣的神迹》），第13, 14页。{Te 193.1}[83]
§180
Jesus Social and Temperate.--Jesus rebuked intemperance, self-indulgence, and folly; yet He was social in His nature. He accepted invitations to dine with the learned and noble, as well as the poor and afflicted. On these occasions, His conversation was elevating and instructive, holding His hearers entranced. He gave no license to scenes of dissipation and revelry, yet innocent happiness was pleasing to Him. A Jewish marriage was a solemn and impressive occasion, the pleasure and joy of which were not displeasing to the Son of man.--Redemption; or the Miracles of Jesus, pages 13, 14. {Te 193.1}[83]
§181
指示，但不是压制——圣经并不谴责或压制人的活动，而要给予正确的指示。世界正让人心中充满兴奋，但主将圣经放在你手里，要你去研究，欣赏，听从，作为指引你的脚步的向导。这道是你的亮光。——《怀爱伦信函》1893年8号。{Te 193.2}[84]
§182
Direct, but Do Not Repress.--The word of God does not condemn or repress mans activity, but tries to give it a right direction. While the world is filling mind and soul with excitement, the Lord puts the Bible into your hands, for you to study, to appreciate, and to heed as a guide to your steps. The word is your light.--Letter 8, 1893. {Te 193.2}[84]
