strong enough to carry
the weight of the world, yet,
made her arms gentle enough to give comfort...
"當我創造女人的時候,
我決定把她造的很特別,
我讓她的雙肩強壯的足以能夠承擔整個世界,但是,

to endure childbirth
and the rejection
that many times will come
even from her own children.

of her family and friends,
even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue without
complaining....

並且照顧自己的家人和朋友,
甚至當每個人都放棄的時候,
她卻能夠堅強地在疾病和勞累之時毫無怨言...

she has the very special power to make a child"s boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager"s anxieties and fears....
我給她內心的敏感,讓她在任何環境下都深愛著自己的孩子.甚至在他們深深傷害她的時候...
她用那特別的力量，讓年幼孩子的在受傷的時候感到安慰，也能夠讓年輕的子女消除緊張與恐懼...
i gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults
and i fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart....
我給她力量關心她的丈夫，盡管他會犯錯.我用男人的肋骨創造了女人，使女人可以保護男人的心髒...
i gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly....
