431　Programming Contest 編程競賽

Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, “I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out.” “Very well, then,” says God, “l(fā)et us see if Jesus fared any better.” Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He stutters, “B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact! How did he do it?” God chuckles, “Everybody knows... Jesus saves.”

耶穌和魔鬼撒旦爭論誰編程編得好。他們爭了幾個小時，最后同意進行一次編程競賽，由上帝做裁判。他們在計算機前安排好，就開始了。他們飛快地敲擊鍵盤，一行一行的代碼在屏幕上滾動，一直進行了好幾個小時。就在競賽快要結束前幾秒鐘，突然一個閃電，停電了。隔了一會兒，電就恢復了。上帝宣布競賽結束。他讓撒旦展示做了些什么。撒旦顯然很惱火，大聲喊叫說：“我什么也沒有。我編的程序停電時全丟了?！鄙系壅f：“很好，那么我們來看看耶穌的結果有沒有好一點?！币d打了一條命令，屏幕上出現(xiàn)了生動的畫面，揚聲器里傳來了天使合唱的美妙音樂。撒旦驚呆了。他結結巴巴地說：“怎……怎么會呢？我丟了一切，而耶穌卻一點沒受影響。他是怎么干的呢？”上帝笑著說：“每一個人都知道……耶穌saves?！保╯ave這個字用在計算機上的意思是“存盤”，而用在耶穌身上的意思是“拯救”。）
