答案 Bell In ancient times all over the world, / it was believed that evil spirits could put up with / just about anything except the clanging of the bell. / Over time, the bell itself, even when not ringing, / came to be regarded as a powerful lucky symbol. / Because it is suspended in a hanging position, / it takes on the representation of all life suspended between heaven and earth. / Its vault-like shape has become a symbol of heaven. / Bells are used in Christian churches as well as Hindu / and Buddhist temples as a means of keeping evils away. / The bell tolled at funerals is now explained as a signal to the living / that a soul is passing to the other side / and should be accompanied by prayers. / But originally the tolling was intended to prevent / evil forces from interfering with the soul’s heavenward journey. /
