特蕾莎修女1979年诺贝尔和平奖领奖致辞（节选）
The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters： You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed， and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “thank you” and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry，that I am dying，I am cold，I am in pain，or something，but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain，half eaten with worms，and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street，but I am going to die like an angel，loved and cared for.” And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that，who could die like that without blaming anybody，without cursing anybody，without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said： I was hungry，I was naked，I was homeless，I was unwanted，unloved，uncared for，and you did it to me.
穷人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我们外出，从街上带回了四个人，其中一个生命岌岌可危。于是我告诉修女们说：“你们照料其他三个，这个濒危的人就由我来照顾了。”就这样，我为她做了我的爱所能做的一切。我将她放在床上，看到她的脸上绽露出如此美丽的微笑。她握着我的手，只说了句“谢谢您”就死了。我情不自禁地在她面前审视起自己的良知来。我问自己，如果我是她的话，会说些什么呢答案很简单，我会尽量引起旁人对我的关注，我会说我饥饿难忍，冷得发抖，奄奄一息，痛苦不堪，诸如此类的话。但是她给我的却更多更多——她给了我她的感激之情。她死时脸上却带着微笑。我们从排水道带回的那个男子也是如此。当时，他几乎全身都快被虫子吃掉了，我们把他带回了家。“在街上，我一直像个动物一样地活着，但我将像个天使一样地死去，有人爱，有人关心。”真是太好了，我看到了他的伟大之处，他竟能说出那样的话。他那样地死去，不责怪任何人，不诅咒任何人，无欲无求。像天使一样——这便是我们的人民的伟大之所在。因此我们相信耶稣所说的话——我饥肠辘辘——我衣不蔽体——我无家可归——我不为人所要，不为人所爱，也不为人所关心——然而，你却为我做了这一切。
