求助PP2第一部分短文36篇最后一句话。

dansy

就是那篇关于life of Sioux的。 最后一句话是“and if it were only the story of my life, I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should take much of his winters, even when they bend him like heavy snow?" 有一个问题是关于“bend him like heavy snow”的，我对下划线那部分还不太理解，谁能讲讲？ 谢谢。

not understand the sentence

turtlechen

忍者神鹏这样写
。“我将会象你希望地那样告诉你我生活中的故事”,oglala 苏人的圣人Black Elk在 1931 年告诉John Neihardt“并且如果那只是我自己生活中的故事，我想我不会讲它；因为仅仅一个人，即使大雪压身，尽力了无数磨难，又怎能了解整个冬天呢？”
注：最后一句话有比喻含义，翻译不够准确，希望后来者改正。

turtlechen

for what is one man that he should take much of his winters, even when they bend him like heavy snow?

是这样分析吗？
Even when winters, like heavy snow, bend him. one man should take much of his winters.

问了周围一个人，有了一个看起来不错的解释。
"for what" means "why". 原句是 one man should take much of his winters, even when they bend him like heavy snow。 那么提问一下就是for what (why) is one man that he should take much of his winters, even when they bend him like heavy snow". 是把人比喻成一棵树， 很有点大雪压青松，青松挺且直的味道。
讨论。。。。。

The peceding sentence say that it's not just his only personal story, signifying a possible explanation in the following about "why not just one man's story."

So, "for what is one man that he should take much of his winters, even when they bend him like heavy snow?"---Could mean,
--->" Because what kind of "one man alone" would be able to withstand winters that bend him like heavy snow on top of tree branches?"
