An angel came by and asked.” Why spend so much time on her?”
一位天使走過來問道:「為什麼要在她身上花這麼多時間呢？」
The lord answered. “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?”
天主回答說:「你看到了嗎?我必須滿足所有的規範才能塑造出她啊!」
She must function on all kinds of situations,

Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,
給一個擁抱，可以治癒從受傷的膝蓋到破碎的心的任何事況，
She must do all this with only two hands,”She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day”
她必須只用兩隻手來完成這一切:「在她生病時，要可以治癒自己，每天能夠工作18個小時。」
THE ANGEL was impressed “Just two hands…..impossible! And this is the standard model?”
天使非常驚訝地說：「只有兩隻手…..怎麼可能啊！這是標準模型嗎？」
The Angel came closer and touched the woman
天使走近並觸摸了這個女人
“But you have made her so soft, Lord”.
「但是主啊!祢將她做得如此柔軟。」
“She is soft”, said the Lord, “But I have made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.”
天主說:「她是很柔軟，但是我將她變得堅強。你無法想像她能夠承受和克服什麼。」
“Can she think?” The Angel asked…
天使問道…「她能思考嗎？」
The Lord answered. “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.”
天主回答說:「她不僅可以思考，還可以推理和協調。」
The Angel touched her cheeks….
天使摸了摸她的臉頰…
“Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her”
「主啊，看來這個受造物正在漏水！你給她加了太多的重擔了。」
“She is not leaking…it is a tear” The Lord corrected the Angel…
天主糾正了天使說…「她沒有漏水…這是一滴眼淚。」
“What’s it for?” Asked the Angel….. .
天使問道…..「這是作什麼用的呢？」
The Lord said. “Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”…
天主說道:「眼淚是她表達她的悲傷、懷疑、愛，孤獨、痛苦和驕傲的方式。」…
This made a big impression on the Angel,
這讓天使留下了更深刻的印象，
“Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything. A woman is indeed marvellous”
「主啊，祢真是個天才。祢想到了一切。一個女人確實是太奇妙了。」

Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life”

The Angel asked: “So she is a perfect being?”
天使問道：「所以她是一個完美的存有？」
The lord replied: “No. She has just one drawback. She often forgets what she is worth.”
