書名《幼獅》,原文為“The Young Lions”,在圣經(jīng)中有多處出現(xiàn)過(guò)the young lions, 一些基督徒認(rèn)為是指美國(guó),因?yàn)檫@只獅子強(qiáng)壯而年幼,正如美國(guó)的勢(shì)力及它的歷史。而作者在這里大概是指戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上這些年輕人吧。在開(kāi)篇扉頁(yè)上也恰恰印著圣經(jīng)舊約中那鴻書的一句話:萬(wàn)軍之耶和華說(shuō):“我與你為敵,必將你的車輛焚燒成煙,刀劍也必吞沒(méi)你的少壯獅子。我必從地上除滅你所撕碎的,你使者的聲音必不再聽(tīng)見(jiàn)?!保ㄔ臑椋?quot;I am against you," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will leave you no prey on the earth. The voices of your messengers will no longer be heard." )
