11.THE JUDGE |
11 審判官 THE JUDGE |
SAY of him what you please, but I know my child's failings. |
你想說他什么盡管說罷,但是我知道我孩子的短處。 |
I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my little child. |
我愛他并不因為他好,只是因為他是我的小小的孩子。 |
How should you know how dear he can be when you try to weigh his merits against his faults? |
你如果把他的好處與壞處兩兩相權(quán)一下,恐怕你就會知道他是如何的可愛罷? |
When I must punish him he becomes all the more a part of my being. |
當我必須責罰他的時候,他更成為我的生命的一部分了。 |
When I cause his tears to come my heart weeps with him. |
當我使他眼淚流出時,我的心也和他同哭了。 |
I alone have a right to blame and punish, for he only may chastise who loves. |
只有我才有權(quán)去罵他,去責罰他,因為只有熱愛人的才可以懲戒人。 |
