that he is associated with this vast repertoire of chant.

才把他与这一系列的圣歌联系了起来
Gregory had an influential biographer,

他有个很有影响力的传记作者
John the Deacon, who ascribed,

一位叫约翰的教堂执事

把许多非他所做的事情都归功于他

人们倾向于把更多的功劳
or a couple of male authority figures

归咎于一个或几个有权威的男性身上
a lot more than they actually did.

虽然他们远远没有做到这么多
The point here is that

这儿的重点在于
Gregorian chant was being composed five hundred years

格里高利圣歌的创作开始了五百年后
before Gregory set foot on this earth

格里高利才刚刚出生
and nearly a thousand years after that.

并且之后又延续了近一千年
