罗德的妻子回头看，变成了一根盐柱。
创世纪
圣罗德一直跟在上帝的天使后面走，
他似乎看见山上巨大的明光，巨大的黑影，
但他的妻子的心悄声暗示得越来越强烈：
“天不是很晚，你还有时间回头看
你的出生地索多玛这些斜坡上的塔楼，
你唱歌的广场，你纺纱的院子，
看着你温馨的家里的窗户
那为你亲爱的男人生孩子的地方。”
她看了--她的眼睛瞬间被痛苦束缚住--
它们全然看不见了：
她疾风般的脚步变成石头地，
她的身体变成一根盐柱。
作为罗德家人之一谁会哀悼她呢？
难道她之于我们来说是最微不足道的损失吗？
但在我的心中，我将永远记得。
Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt.
--Genesis
Holy Lot was a-going behind God's angel,
He seemed huge and bright on a hill, huge and black.
But the heart of his wife whispered stronger and stranger:
"It's not very late, you have time to look back
At these rose turrets of your native Sodom,
The square where you sang, and the yard where you span,
The windows looking from your cozy home
Where you bore children for your dear man."
She looked -- and her eyes were instantly bound
By pain -- they couldn't see any more at all:
Her fleet feet grew into the stony ground,
Her body turned into a pillar of salt.
Who'll mourn her as one of Lot's family members?
Doesn't she seem the smallest of losses to us?
But deep in my heart I will always remember
