其实我也是。我对宗教并不算了解，可我很乐意接触到不同的宗教文化。我有一些信仰宗教的朋友，很多时候我都是从文化的角度来分享他们的经历。和我一起去教堂的朋友就从小信仰基督教，而且非常虔诚。

Actually, I’m the same. I can’t say I understand religion at all, but I’m willing to have some contact with different religious cultures. I have some religious friends, and I often find myself related to their experiences on a cultural level. The friends I went to church with have been Christians since they were little, and they’re really devoted.

我想我永远都没办法理解这种虔诚。宗教信仰是个人的自由，我不会干涉他们，但也没有办法深入其中。我们这一代人大多数都是没有宗教信仰的。不过现在信基督教的人在中国真是越来越多了，相反中国的第一大宗教-佛教的教徒大多都是老一辈的人了。

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to understand that kind of devotion. Religious faith is a personal freedom, so I would never interfere with others’ faith, but I myself could never get that deeply involved. Most people of our generation aren’t very religious. However, nowadays more and more people in China are becoming Christians. On the other hand, the followers of China’s primary religion—Buddhism—are mainly from the older generation.

嗯，藏传佛教的信徒好像特别虔诚。你看他们朝圣的时候，一步一叩，五体投地的膜拜姿势，就知道他们有多虔诚了。而且在朝圣之路上，他们始终保持这样的姿势，翻山越岭，直到到达布达拉宫。听说有人朝圣一次要花上几年的时间。
