We got religion, and saw a little light.

我们得助于天，忽然有所领悟。

字里行间

got religion和saw a little light都是指得到神的指点。好像是“取经而归”，“受到圣明指示”一样。

弦外之音

这句略带神秘感，而又富有幽默的话，多么谦虚！多么豁达！在办事成功，或得到赞扬时这样说，再合适不过了。

如果相反，面对赞扬，当事人洋洋得意，乘机炫耀自己，来个“现场介绍会”似的解释汇报。又有多少人会真的要听这些故事呢？

活学活用

1. A: Wow, what happened? How did you do it?

哇，怎么回事么？你到底怎么做到的呀？

B: Well, there's nothing much to it. I got religion and saw a little light.

嘿，没什么大不了的事。靠神明指点罢了。

2. He was trying to explain to me what had really happened between him and his girlfriend, when I finally saw the light.

他说了老半天跟女朋友之间的事，我才忽然醒悟过来。
