  Jun: OK. Joseph Smith was in New York. But we're in Utah! What happened?
  Bob: Joseph Smith founded the church there. But there were some problems, and the Church kept moving west. After Joseph Smith died, the early pioneers wandered through the desert until they found the great salt lake. Sounds just like stories in the Bible, don't you think, Jun?
  Jun: I wouldn't know, but it sounds like quite an adventure.
  Bob: Sure was. Filled with miracles! Like the miracle that brought you here! Praise to God! Let's get ready for Temple Square...

  小君:好吧。约瑟夫史密斯原本在纽约。但我们现在是在犹他州耶!怎么一回事呢?
  鲍伯:约瑟夫史密斯在那里创了教会。但是发生了一些问题,教会不断往西部迁徙。约瑟夫史密斯死了之后,早期的草创者流浪穿越了这片沙漠,直到他们找到这座大盐湖为止。听来就像是圣经里的故事,小君你认为呢?
  小君:我之前都不知道,但听来好像一场冒险。
  鲍伯:的确是。充满了奇迹!就跟带你来这里的奇迹一样!赞美主!我们准备动身去圣殿广场吧……
  重点解说:
  ★ found (v.) 创立,建造
  ★ wander (v.) 流浪
  ★ the great salt lake 大盐湖。‘盐湖城’Salt Lake City即以此为名。Temple Square 圣殿广场
  ★ miracle (n.) 奇迹
  ★ praise (v.) 赞美

  Bob:Not everyone, but most. Over seventy percent, at last count.
  Jun: How did Mormonism start, anyway?
  Bob:Joseph Smith, our prophet, received a vision from the Angel Moroni when he was a young man in New York. The angel told him where to find golden tablets with the word of God. Those tablets described how Jesus had come to America!
  Jun: That's very interesting. So those tablets were in English?
  Bob:They were in a mysterious language. Joseph Smith translated those tablets into The Book of Mormon in 1830.
  (续上期,下期续)
  鲍伯:并非人人都是,但大部分是。至少超过七成。
  小君:那摩门教是怎么开始的?
  鲍伯:当我们的先知约瑟夫史密斯还是个住在纽约的年轻人时,他见到来自天使摩罗乃的幻影。天使跟他说去哪里找到有神谕的黄金刻写板。这些刻板上记载了耶稣是怎么来到美国的!
  小君:真有意思。所以这些刻写板都是用英文写的吗?
  鲍伯:它们是用神秘的文字记载的。约瑟夫史密斯在一八三○年把这些刻写板的字翻译成《摩门经》。
  重点解说:
  ★ at last count 至少
  ★ prophet (n.) 先知
  ★ vision (n.) 幻觉,幻影
