（单词翻译）

 The holy rest of this ever-memorable day is a barrier which is always broken down before men become giants in sin. 这个永远值得纪念的神圣日子，始终都是在人们称为罪恶的巨人之前被打破的一道藩篱。

Blackstone, in his Commentaries on the Laws of England, remarks that quote 布莱克斯顿在他对英格兰法律进行评价时指出，
"a corruption1 of morals usually follows a profanation2 of the Sabbath." Close quote “道德败坏通常都伴随着对安息日的亵渎。”
It is an observation of Lord Chief Justice Hale, that quote 这是英国高等法院的王座庭庭长颇具洞察力言论，
"of all the persons who were convicted of capital crimes, while he was on the bench, 即“他在审判席上时，所有犯有重大罪行的人，
he found a few only who would not confess that they began their career of wickedness 就他观察只有少数不会坦白他们开始邪恶生涯时，
by a neglect of the duties of the Sabbath and vicious conduct on that day." Close quote 忽视了守安息日的义务，并在那天做出邪恶勾当。”
The prisons in our own land could probably tell us that they have scarcely a solitary3 tenant4 我们自己国家监狱的情形，或许也能告诉我们他们之所以很少设单独的囚室的原因，
who had not broken over the restraints of the Sabbath before he was abandoned to crime. 在犯人全然陷入犯罪前，他不会违反守安息日的诸多限制和禁忌。
You may enact5 laws for the suppression of immorality6, 为了阻止不道德行为，你可以制定相应的法律，
but the secret and silent power of the Sabbath constitutes a stronger shield to the vital interest of the community 但是守安息日的秘密和沉默的力量为社会的重大利益
than any code of penal7 statutes8 that ever was enacted9. 形成了比任何成文的惩罚法典更强大的盾牌。
The Sabbath is the keystone of the arch which sustains the temple of virtue10, 安息日是支撑道德殿堂拱门的那块柱石，
which, however defaced, will survive many a rude shock so long as the foundation remains11 firm. 尽管受到了侵蚀，只要基础保持牢固仍旧经得起猛烈的打击。
