"The still, small voice" nghĩa là gì?


"The still, small voice" = giọng nói nhỏ, yên lặng -> nghĩa là lương tâm của con người, nhất là khi định làm việc xấu. 

Ví dụ
We’ve been so caught up in the happenings of the coronavirus, the election, the aftermath (hậu quả) of that, and I think it’s time for each of us to get away from all the noise long enough to hear the still, small voice of God again.

On usual days, I avoid boarding (sử dụng) commercial vehicles, the ones Nigerians call danfo, for this same reason. This Timi is too timid (rụt rè). I’d rather hop on an okada to my workplace than have the still small voice to contend (đấu tranh) with. I’d also prefer one-on-one evangelism with my motorcyclist – and even at that, it’d take extra courage – than preach to a host of people in a danfo.

People find it difficult to listen because they are overwhelmed (choáng ngợp) by the input coming to us from all directions — social media, the television, the constant barrage (chướng ngại vật) of news. All of these things make it difficult for people to focus on the root of all listening: the still, small voice that wells up (phun ra) from within.

We are putting out a call. Let’s honor his memory and use his day to heal (cứu chữa) this nation.  Let’s fast and fall silent, listening for the still small voice of that which remains great within us.  Let’s gather and walk, in every city and town, silently. Let’s reflect on our own transgressions (phạm tội) before our passions push this nation, and our democracy, over the edge.
