不好意思,我没表达好,我意思不是说prayer没有“祷者”的意思,而是说silent prayer里这个prayer意思是祷告而不是祷者。
为什么这么说呢?silent prayer是一个宗教里常被提到的词组,而且是一个有人讨论的话题——祷告究竟是大声说出来好还是在心里默念着好。
关于这类讨论可以参照这里:
http://www.gotquestions.org/silent-prayer.htmlRurutia一直都对宗教有浓厚兴趣,这里提到的应该就是那个关键词——内心里默默地祷告。
What would be the difference between praying out loud or silently if you are by yourself? There are some circumstances where only silent prayer is appropriate, e.g., praying for something between you and God only, praying for someone who is present, etc. There isn’t anything wrong with praying silently – as long as we are not doing it because we are embarrassed to be seen praying.
猜测一下,歌词里可能就会描写隐秘的心情——只有自己和上帝之间可以分享的事情,无法大声说出来,只能在静默的祷告中倾诉……
