The adventures in Bill Streever’s book take place in colder and stranger lands than the Arctic, and touch on everything from the physics of absolute zero to the cold-resistant gluttony of small birds.
gluttony
n., pl. -ies.Excess in eating or drinking.
sin :罪;罪惡;罪過;過(缺)失:指違反良心判斷的行為,亦即明知故犯天主的誡命,亦即違反天意之思想或行為。拉丁文稱作 culpa 或 peccatum 。參閱 guilt 。
sin, grave :大罪;重罪;死罪:在嚴重事項上明知故犯天主的誡命,因犯罪者自絕於天主之寵愛,與天主為敵,形同自殺,故又稱作死罪。
sin, mortal :大罪。詳見 sin, grave 。
sin, occasion of :犯罪的機會:某些外在環境(人、地、事、物)能製造犯罪的傾向和機會,譬如在花街柳巷閒逛,難免不起淫念、失去理性,而犯下罪過。所以世人應盡力避免犯罪機會,以免陷入誘惑。
sin, original :原罪: (1) 指人類始祖亞當與夏娃所犯背叛天主之罪。 (2) 指原罪對原祖後裔之遺害,詳見 original sin 。
sin, personal :本罪;己罪:指個人違反自然律或神律的行為,由本(個)人負責。與原罪 sin, original 有別,因為原罪直接由始祖亞當與夏娃負責。
sin, venial :小罪:在小事上違反天主的誡命,或雖在大事上,但並不太明瞭、或並非完全故意的違反天意,因此並未自絕於天主,故易於獲得赦免。
sin against Holy Spirit :違反天主聖神的罪:是不可寬恕之罪(瑪十二 31-32 )。耶穌治好了又瞎又啞的人後,硬心腸的法利塞人,不歸功於天主,卻將此聖神的善行歸功於惡魔(谷三 23-30 )。此罪不得赦的原故,是因犯罪的人,立意不看真理,缺少了得赦必具的痛悔條件。聖思定解釋為「拒絕天主,至死不悔改者」,就是說,罪人若無心悔改,天主就無法寬恕他。
sin that cry to Heaven for vengeance :呼籲上天懲罰的罪;招天怒之罪:如任意殺人、欺壓孤兒寡婦、剝削勞工等不義之罪,有時會招致天主立即的懲罰。
天主教英漢袖珍辭典:由主徒會恒毅月刊社於2001年元旦出版。此處為原書之半,另一半為漢英索引和其他重要附錄。
sinner :罪人:有罪過的人,就是犯了罪的人。
sins, capital :七罪宗;罪源:各種罪惡的源頭,可歸納為七項,即驕傲 pride 、慳吝 covetousness/avarice 、迷色 lust 、貪饕 gluttony 、嫉妒 envy 、忿怒 anger 、懶惰 sloth 。又稱七死罪 deadly sins, seven 。
sloth :懶惰:厭惡精神事物-天主的法律,是七罪宗之一。詳見 sins, capital 。

Matthew 6:22-23
King James Version (KJV)
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
聖經馬太福音6章22-23節:『眼睛就是身上的燈。你的眼晴若 瞭亮,全身就光明。你的眼睛若昏花,全身就黑暗。你裏頭的光若黑 暗了,那黑暗是何等大呢!』
歸向天主的純潔之心
- 你們不要在地上為自己積蓄財寶,因為在地上有蟲蛀,有銹蝕,在地上也有賊挖洞偷竊;
- 但該在天上為自己積蓄財寶,因為那裏沒有蟲蛀,沒有銹蝕,那裏也沒有賊挖洞偷竊。
- 因為你的財寶在那裏,你的心也必在那裏。
- 眼睛就是身體的燈。所以,你的眼睛若是康健,你的全身就都光明。
- 但是,如果你的眼睛有了病,你的全身就都黑暗。那麼,你身上的光明如果成了黑暗,那該是多麼黑暗!
