创世纪里,上帝花了六天创造了天,地,光,人…,第七天休息。
在2013年超级杯的一支广告,用了美国广播名人Paul Harvey著名的演讲,制作了「So God Made A Farmer」广告。大意是这个工作很重要,不是一般人都可以胜任的,这个人必须凡事按照步骤来,不走捷径,这个人必须要会播种,会除草,会喂养动物,会育种,会加工,会育苗,会耕田,会种植,会綑羊毛,会挤牛奶。这个人会温柔地凝聚家庭,也会分享。这个人会笑会叹息,这个人会感到欣慰,当他的儿女说将来想要从事和父亲一样的工作。
所以神创造了农夫。
以下的这支影片的创意更胜So God Made A Farmer,它说:第九天,当上帝俯瞰着自己创造出的那些天真的孩子们,他说:「他们需要一个同伴。」于是,上帝创造了狗。
God Made A Dog
上帝创造了狗
And on the ninth day God looked down on his wide eyed children and said “they need a companion". So God made a dog.
第九天,当上帝俯瞰着自己创造出的那些天真的孩子们,他说:「他们需要一个同伴。」于是,上帝创造了狗。
God said: “I need somebody willing to wake up, give kisses, pee on a tree, sleep all day, wake up again give more kisses. Then stay up until midnight basking in the glow of the television set." So God made a dog.
上帝说:「我需要牠早上醒来,给人送上亲吻,在树下撒泡尿,睡上一整天,醒来后继续送上更多的吻。晚上人们看电视时,牠就心满意足地陪在一旁,直到深夜才睡去。」于是,上帝创造了狗。
God said: “I need somebody willing to sit, then stay, then roll over, then with no ego or complaint dress in hats they don’t need and costumes they don’t understand. I need somebody who can break wind without a first care or a second thought. Who can chase tails, sniff crotches, fetch sticks and lift spirits with a lick. Somebody who no matter what you didn’t do or couldn’t take or didn’t win or couldn’t make will love you without judgement just the same." So God made a dog.
上帝说:「我需要牠愿意遵从人的命令,坐下、不动或打滚,无怨无悔地让人们戴上毫无必要的帽子、穿上无法理解的衣服。我需要牠对放屁这种事毫不在意也不放在心上,牠会追着尾巴转圈、闻闻裤脚、捡回木棍、以及舔人来替人打气。无论你做什么,无论你扛不了、赢不了或做不成什么,牠对你的爱始终如一,也不会评价你任何事。」于是,上帝创造了狗。
God said: “I need somebody strong enough to pull sleds and find bombs, yet gentle enough to love babies and lead the blind. Somebody who will spend all day on a couch with a resting head and supportive eyes to lift the spirits of a broken heart." So God made a dog.
上帝说:「我需要牠够强大,可以拉得动雪橇、搜索炸弹,也要够温柔,可以爱护宝宝,引导盲人。我需要牠可以一整天枕着头趴在沙发上,用鼓励的目光凝视者,使心灵受伤的人重新振作起来。」于是,上帝创造了狗。
It had to be somebody who’d remain patient and loyal even through loneliness.
即使牠总是忍受孤独寂寞,牠仍然对人保持耐心及忠诚。
Somebody to care and cuddle, snuggle and nuzzle, and cheer and charm, and snore and slobber, and eat the trash, and chase the squirrels.
牠关怀及怀抱着人,依偎及磨蹭着人,为人欢呼也使人快乐,会打呼也会流口水,有时吃地上的垃圾,有时追着松鼠跑。
Somebody who would bring a family together with the selflessness of an open heart.
牠有一颗无私坦荡的心,牠让一家人变得更亲密。
Somebody who would bark and then pant and then reply with rapid wag of tail when their best friend says – let’s go for a ride in the car.
当牠最好的朋友说著:「走,我们兜风去吧!」牠会兴奋的边叫边喘,用快摇断的尾巴来回应你。
So God made a dog.
于是,上帝创造了狗。
ps.上帝创造了狗~也正是要提醒人类,相较于牠们对人的忠诚与付出,人是多么无情。
