What stupid blockheads!
多么愚蠢的笨蛋啊！
(Joseph Philpot, “Daily Portions”)
（约瑟夫·菲尔波特，《每日灵粮》）
“Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them.
Matthew 15:16
“你们到如今还不明白吗？”耶稣问他们。
马太福音15:16
What lessons we need day by day to teach us anything aright, and how it is for the most part “line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.” O . . .
我们每天需要什么样的教训才能正确地学到任何东西，而且大多数情况下都是”一行又一行，一行又一行；这里一点，那里一点。”哦…
what slow learners!
what dull, forgetful scholars!
what ignoramuses!
what stupid blockheads!
what stubborn pupils!
多么迟钝的学习者啊！
多么愚笨、健忘的学生啊！
多么无知的人啊！
多么愚蠢的笨蛋啊！
多么顽固的学生啊！
Surely no scholar at a school, old or young, could learn so little of natural things as we seem to have learned of spiritual things after . . .
so many years instruction,
so many chapters read,
so many sermons heard,
so many prayers put up,
so much talking about religion.
确实，无论老少，学校里没有哪个学生能在自然知识上学得如此之少，就像我们在经历了这么多之后，似乎在属灵事物上学到的那样少：
这么多年的教导，
读了这么多章节，
听了这么多讲道，
做了这么多祷告，
谈论了这么多关于宗教的事。
How small, how weak is the amount of growth compared with all we have read and heard and talked about!
与我们所读过、听过和谈论过的一切相比，我们的成长是多么微小，多么薄弱啊！
But it is a mercy that the Lord saves whom He will save, and that we are saved by free grace, and free grace alone!
但这是一种恩慈，主拯救祂所要拯救的人，而我们是靠着白白的恩典，唯独白白的恩典得救！
