查询词典 given to something

How delightful it was to get such splendid opportunities of hinting that if his life had been sanctified by an object, he might indeed have striven to be something better than an idle flaneur upon the smooth pathways that have no particular goal; that, blessed by the ties which would have given a solemn purpose to every hour of his existence, he might indeed have fought the battle earnestly and unflinchingly.

而多么高兴的是：得到这么一个好机会作出暗示，如果有个目标促使他的生活神圣化，那么他确实就会努力使自己更上一层楼，不复作一个在没有特定目标的光滑小径上无所事事地闲逛的人；如果有幸而达到一种结合，这种结合会赋予他生存的每时每刻以庄严的目标，那么他确实就会严肃认真地毫不畏缩地奋身战斗的。

And I believe this may have been the case with many, who, having, for want of some such means as I employed, found the difficulty of obtaining good and breaking bad habits in other points of vice and virtue, have given up the struggle, and concluded that "a speckled ax is best;" for something, that pretended to be reason, was every now and then suggesting to me that such extreme nicety as I exacted of myself might be a kind of foppery in morals, which, if it were known, would make me ridiculous; that a perfect character might be attended with the inconvenience of being envied and hated; and that a benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance.

他们为了缺乏一些什么，和我所用的方法一样，等到得到好习惯和破坏恶习惯的困难，就抛弃了善恶的竞争，而结论说是「一把有几处白光的斧面是最好的斧头」，也可假藉一些理由，因为有些东西时常向我建议说，如自我期许的极端细密也许是道德上的蠢事，而如果他人知道了，会让我成为可笑的人了；而一个完美的人格必将受到嫉妒和憎厌；所以有善心的人必得在身上留一些缺点，以保留他朋友的面子。
