Evil Effects of Tea and Coffee
健康勉言-第39章
(《教会证言》卷二第64,65页,1868年)
茶与咖啡的饮用,对于身体也是有害的。在某种程度上,茶会使人中毒。茶进入人体循环之后,渐渐使身体及脑筋的精力受损。它刺激、兴奋人体,驱使这部活机器发生不自然的动作,以致使喝茶的人以为茶对他大有益处,使他的精力增加。其实这是一种误解。茶提神一时,过后却大削弱了神经的力量。当其影响过去,受它刺激而产生的额外活动消失之后,结果如何呢?随之而来的疲倦与虚弱,与茶所引起的虚假活力相等。{CH87.1}[1]

[Testimonies for the Church 2:64, 65 (1868).]
The use of tea and coffee is also injurious to the system. To a certain extent, tea produces intoxication. It enters into the circulation and gradually impairs the energy of body and mind. It stimulates, excites, and quickens the motion of the living machinery, forcing it to unnatural action, and thus gives the tea drinker the impression that it is doing him great service, imparting to him strength. This is a mistake. Tea draws upon the strength of the nerves, and leaves them greatly weakened. When its influence is gone and the increased action caused by its use is abated, then what is the result? Languor and debility corresponding to the artificial vivacity the tea imparted.{CH 87.1}[1]
健康勉言-第39章
当人体已经过劳,需要休息时,若是用茶来刺激,驱使人体去作不习惯、不自然的动作,以致精力衰弱,无法支持,结果耗尽体力,难享天年。茶对于身体是有毒的,基督徒应予以弃绝不用。{CH87.2}[2]
健康勉言-第39章
When the system is already overtaxed and needs rest, the use of tea spurs up nature by stimulation to perform unwonted, unnatural action, and thereby lessens her power to perform, and her ability to endure; and her powers give out long before Heaven designed they should. Tea is poisonous to the system. Christians should let it alone.{CH 87.2}[2]
健康勉言-第39章
比较来说,咖啡与茶有一样的影响,但它对于身体的害处,则比茶更大。它使人兴奋,提高精神高于常度,但后来却使人衰竭疲劳,低于常度。饮用茶与咖啡的人,在脸上都会留下记号,肤色病黄,毫无生气,脸上一点也看不出健康活泼的神色。{CH87.3}[3]
健康勉言-第39章
The influence of coffee is in a degree the same as tea, but the effect upon the system is still worse. Its influence is exciting, and just in the degree that it elevates above par, it will exhaust and bring prostration below par. Tea and coffee drinkers carry the marks upon their faces. The skin becomes sallow and assumes a lifeless appearance. The glow of health is not seen upon the countenance.{CH 87.3}[3]

【茶叶和咖啡没有营养】
茶与咖啡并不滋养身体。在它们未被胃消化之前,其效果立刻就出现了。这表明饮用这些刺激物的人,其精力之加添,实由于胃神经受到刺激,便波及大脑,接着大脑受到刺激,心脏便加紧跳动,以致身体出现了暂时的活力。这一切都是虚假的精力,得之反而有害,它们并不增添丝毫天然的力量。饮茶的第二种影响,便是头痛,失眠,心悸,不消化,神经颤动,以及其它许多害处。{CH87.4}[4]
健康勉言-第39章
【Tea and Coffee Do Not Nourish】
Tea and coffee do not nourish the system. The relief obtained from them is sudden, before the stomach has?time to digest them. This shows that what the users of these stimulants call strength, is only received by exciting the nerves of the stomach, which convey the irritation to the brain, and this in turn is aroused to impart increased action to the heart, and short-lived energy to the entire system. All this is false strength, that we are the worse for having. They do not give a particle of natural strength. The second effect of tea drinking is headache, wakefulness, palpitation of the heart, indigestion, trembling of the nerves, with many other evils.{CH 87.4}[4]

【自我放纵不讨上帝喜欢】
“所以弟兄们,我以上帝的慈悲劝你们,将身体献上,当作活祭,是圣洁的,是上帝所喜悦的,你们如此侍奉,乃是理所当然的”(罗12:1)。上帝要的是活泼健康的祭物,而不是死的或濒于死亡的。我们何时认识到上帝的要求,就会看到祂吩咐我们在凡事上实行节制。我们受造的目的是在我们属祂的身子和心灵上荣耀上帝。我们若因放纵食欲而损害身体和道德的力量,又怎能做到这样呢?上帝要求我们将身体当作活祭献上。因而我们奉命要尽的本分,就是保持身体处于最佳的健康状态,以便我们顺从祂的要求。“所以,你们或吃或喝,无论作什么,都要为荣耀上帝而行”(林前10:31)。{CH88.1}[5]

【 Self-Indulgence Displeasing to God】
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”Romans 12:1. God calls for a living sacrifice, not a dead or dying one. When we realize the requirements of God, we shall see that He requires us to be temperate in all things. The end of our creation is to glorify God in our bodies and spirits which are His. How can we do this when we indulge the appetite to the injury of the physical and moral powers? God requires that we present our bodies a living sacrifice. Then the duty is enjoined on us to preserve that body in the very best condition of health, that we may comply with His requirements. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”1 Corinthians 10:31.{CH 88.1}[5]
