Okay, let's start at the beginning. Who was Saint David?
好的，让我们从头开始。谁是圣大卫？
Saint David was born right here on the southwest coast of Wales, near to where the city of St David's is today.
圣大卫就出生在威尔士的西南海岸，靠近今天的圣大卫城。
We don't actually know the exact year he was born, but it's believed to be sometime between 462 and 515 A.D., a long time ago.
我们实际上不知道他出生的确切年份，但据信是在公元462年到515年之间的某个时候，真的是很久以前了。
For example, if you had the granddad born around the same time,
这么说吧，如果你的祖先出生在同一时期，
he would literally be your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great.
那他就是你的曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾曾祖父。
Yeah, you get the picture. It was a long time ago.

There are many stories about miracles happening about Saint David, too.

You see, he would do a lot of traveling to talk about God.

One of the famous stories is from when he was speaking to a large crowd, and somebody in the crowd shouted, "We won't be able to see or hear him."
其中一个著名的故事是，当他对一大群人宣讲时，人群中有人喊道：“我们看不到、也听不到他啊。”
Then the ground David stood on is said to have risen up, so that he was standing on a hill, making it easier for everyone to see him.
然后，圣大卫所站的土地一下子就升高了，站在了山丘上，这样人们就更容易看见他了。
It said that he lived for more than 100 years and died on Tuesday, the 1st of March, 589.
据说他活了一百多岁，于公元589年3月1日星期二去世。
But wait, I know what you're thinking.
