1. 圣公会礼拜仪式的祷辞出于沉思，归于翰藻，早早令我感受到动情的、高尚的英语听起来是什么样的。
The words of Episcopal-Anglican liturgy are long pondered, plain and beautifully phrased, and they early gave me a sense of how a moved and heightened English should sound.
2. 你能想象，神对这段祷辞抬了抬眉毛，送回这则讯息：你决定当回事的时候再来找我吧。
You can imagine God regarding that prayer with an arched eyebrow, and sending back this message: Call me again when you decide to get serious about this.
3. 普拉东·卡拉塔耶夫除了祷辞，不会背诵别的什么。
Platon Karataev knew nothing by heart except his prayers.
