佛祖与 Sheldon

在希腊左巴里,让“我”感到“平静而安稳”的佛祖与牧人的对话,说:

牧人:我有一个温顺忠实的牧羊女。多年来她就是我的妻子;我夜间与她合欢而感到幸福。那你,天啊,你可以下雨啦,尽量下吧!

佛祖:我有一个温顺而自由的——灵魂。多年来我训练它,教它与我共欢乐。那你,天啊,你可以下雨啦,尽量下吧!

这让我想起 TBBT 中,Sheldon 为 Howard 的婚礼致辞:

The need to find another human being to share one’s life with has always puzzled me. Maybe because I’m so interesting all by myself. With that being said, may you find as much happiness with each other as I find on my own.

(寻找另一个人类以共度一生的需求,我一直无法理解。也许只是因为我足够有趣,无需陪伴。所以我祝愿你们,从彼此身上获得的欢愉,同我给予自己的一般多。)
