A kind Father when thou gavest; and kinder still when he returned destitute!

当你付出时， 他是一位仁慈的父亲；当他一贫如洗地回来时， 他更加仁慈了！

But thou gavest her then another answer, by a priest of thine, a certain bishop reared in thy Church and well versed in thy books.

但你随后给了她另一个答案，是由你的一位神父、一位在你的教会中长大并精通你的书籍的主教做出的。

Day by day thou art making me worthy of the simple, great gifts that thou gavest to me unasked---this sky and the light, this body and the life and the mind---saving me from perils of overmuch desire.

你使我一天一天地更配领受你自动的简单伟大的赐予－－这天空和光明，这躯体和生命与心灵－－把我从极欲的危险中拯救了出来。

The task of life thus fulfilled, she calmly waits for the sleep of death, and rising from the grave may say, behold, thou gavest me a talent, and here are five talents.

生命的任务就这样完成了，她平静地等待死亡的沉睡，从坟墓里起来可能会说，看哪，你给了我一他连得，这里有五个他连得。

Meanwhile, thou gavest her yet another answer, as I remember--for I pass over many things, hastening on to those things which more strongly impel me to confess to thee--and many things I have simply forgotten.

与此同时， 你给了她另一个答案，正如我所记得的那样——因为我跳过了很多事情，匆忙转向那些更强烈地促使我向你坦白的事情——还有很多事情我已经忘记了。

For it was thou who didst cause me not to want more than thou gavest and it was thou who gavest to those who nourished me the will to give me what thou didst give them.

因为是你让我不想要比你所给予的更多的东西，也是你让那些养育我的人愿意给我你所给予他们的东西。
