她说,我从来没有去找牧师忏悔,因为我知道他们会因为我的罪而鄙视我。然而,当你今天说出我所有的罪孽时,我可以忍受,因为我知道你没有鄙视我。但直到现在我还是不明白为什么。我不是一个会因为别人的罪孽而鄙视他们的人,”安德说。我还没有找到一个,我没有在心里说,我做过比这更糟糕的事。这些年来你一直承担着人类罪恶的重担。
(I never went to the priests to confess, she said, because I knew they would despise me for my sin. Yet when you named all my sins today, I could bear it because I knew you didn't despise me. I couldn't understand why, though, till now.I'm not one to despise other people for their sins, said Ender. I haven't found one yet, that I didn't say inside myself, I've done worse than this.All these years you've borne the burden of humanity's guilt.)
