11.THE JUDGE |
11 审判官 THE JUDGE |
SAY of him what you please, but I know my child's failings. |
你想说他什么尽管说罢,但是我知道我孩子的短处。 |
I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my little child. |
我爱他并不因为他好,只是因为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? |
你如果把他的好处与坏处两两相权一下,恐怕你就会知道他是如何的可爱罢? |
When I must punish him he becomes all the more a part of my being. |
当我必须责罚他的时候,他更成为我的生命的一部分了。 |
When I cause his tears to come my heart weeps with him. |
当我使他眼泪流出时,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. |
只有我才有权去骂他,去责罚他,因为只有热爱人的才可以惩戒人。 |
