The Curse of Cain

原声例句
亨利·亚当斯的教育(上)

The attachment to Quincy was not altogether sentimental or wholly sympathetic. Quincy was not a bed of thornless roses. Even there the curse of Cain set its mark. There as elsewhere a cruel universe combined to crush a child.

对昆西的依恋既不完全是感性的,也不完全是同情的。昆西不是无刺玫瑰花床。甚至在那里,该隐的诅咒也留下了印记。那里和其他地方一样,是一个残酷的宇宙结合在一起压垮了一个孩子。

Curse and mark of Cain

(重定向自The Curse of Cain)
Cain, by Henri Vidal, Jardin des Tuileries, Paris

The curse of Cain and the mark of Cain are phrases that originated in Genesis 4, where God declared that Cain (the firstborn son of Adam and Eve) would be cursed for murdering his brother Abel. A mark was put upon him in order to warn others that killing Cain would provoke the vengeance of God, that if someone did something to harm Cain, the damage would come back sevenfold. Some interpretations view this as a physical mark, whereas other interpretations see the "mark" as a sign, and not as a physical marking on Cain himself. The King James Version of the Bible reads "set a mark upon Cain".
