7 A Talk between Don Quixote and Sancho Sancho asks for his island Sancho had watched the fight between his master and the squire with great interest.His mind was full of his master's promise.So now he went to him,knelt,and looked up at his master's face."What do you want, Sancho?"asked Don Quixote. Sancho held one of the knight's hands and said,"Make me governor of the island that you have won in this fight.It may be big,but I will rule it as well and wisely as any governor of any island anywhere." Don Quixote answered very seriously,"Brother Sancho,you must understand this adventure.It was only an accidental meeting on the road.For adventures like this the only reward is a broken head or a lost ear.Be patient;we shall soon have adventures that will give you islands and even better things." The squire thanked his master,and they continued on their way.As they rode,Sancho said,"I think we ought to hide.That man you beat so well will certainly go to the king's officers 5.If they catch us,we may have to stay in prison for many days." ·066· 7唐吉诃德和桑丘的一段对话 桑丘要他的海岛 桑丘兴致勃勃地看完他主人和那个随从间的拼 斗。他满心记挂着主人对他的承诺。于是，他走向 他跪了下来，并仰望着他主人的脸。“你要什么， 桑丘？”唐吉诃德问道。 桑丘握住骑士的一只手，说：“请任命我担任您 在这一场战役中赢来的海岛的总督吧！海岛可能很 ①rule/ru:l/k统治，管辖 大，但我会以完善、精明的方法来治理，就像世界 ②wisely /warzl/ad明智 地，英明地 上其他海岛的总督一样。” 3 accidental /aksI'dentl/a 唐吉诃德非常庄重地答道：“桑丘老弟，你一定 偶然的：意外的：附属的： 附带的 要明白，这次的冒险只不过是旅途中的一个意外相 ④patient /peifant/a.有耐 遇。这种冒险的唯一代价，就是打破头或丢个耳 心的，能容忍的 朵。不要着急，咱们很快就会遭遇一些冒险，它将 带给你许多海岛，甚至更好的东西。” 这个随从谢过他主人，然后他们就继续上路。 他们乘着坐骑前行，桑丘说道：“我认为咱们必须 ⑤officer /pfisa/n.官员：干 事 躲一躲。那个被你打得很惨的人，一定会去报告国 王的官员。假如他们速到我们，我们可能得在监狱 ·067· Don Quixote “Do not talk so foolishly.”answered Don Quixote,“You will never read about a knight-errant who is punished for killing a man in a fair fight.There is no need to be afraid of the king's officers.Tell me,have you ever seen a knight braver than I am?" “You are right,”said Sancho Panza,“I have never had a master as brave as you.But I hope we do not pay for your bravery in prison.But let me see your ear.I have some cloth in my bags.Perhaps I can stop it from bleeding3.” Don Quixote talks about his magician “Thank you.”said Don Quixote,“'It is unlucky that I have forgotten④ my magic medicine.One drop of the medicine of Fierabras could make my ear well immediately." “Magic medicine?”said Sancho,surprised.. "I know quite well how it is made.Anyone who has this medicine may laugh at death and pain.I will make some soon and give it to you, and tell you how you must use it.In a battle,you may see me cut in two halves.This often happens to a knight.You must then lift up gently that part of me that has fallen to the ground.Then put it carefully and exactly on the other half,which is still on the horse.Then give me two drops it the magic medicine,and in a minute I shall be well again." “Well,”said Sahcho,“I want no islands to govern if you know the secret of a medicine like this.A small quantity would make me a rich man.” “You shall learn the secret soon,”said his master,“and greater secrets.But now look after my ear as well as you can.It hurts me." ·068· 唐吉可德 里待上好多天。” ①fair /fea/g公平的 “别说傻话了，”唐吉诃德答道，“在书上，你 绝不会看到游侠因在堂堂正正的决斗中杀人而受惩 罚。咱们不必怕那些国王的官员。告诉我，你可见 过比我还勇敢的骑士？” “你说得没错，”桑丘·潘沙说，“我从没侍候过 像你这么勇敢的主人。但是我希望我们不要因你的 ②cloth /klpe0/n布 英勇而坐牢。让我看看你的耳朵。我的袋子里还有 ③bleed/bli:dy.出血，流血 一些布。也许我能替你止血。” 唐吉诃德谈起他的灵药 ④forget /f'get/v.忘记 “谢谢你！”唐吉诃德说，“可惜，我忘记带我 ⑤magic'med3kla.魔术 的，有魔力的 的魔法药水了。一滴‘飞拉白拉斯’药水，可以让 ⑥medicine /'medisin/n.药 我的耳朵马上好过来。” 物，药品 “魔法药水？”桑丘惊讶地说。 “它的制法我了如指掌。不管是谁得到了这种药 水，都可以对死亡和痛苦一笑置之了。我会很快就 调配一些给你，并告诉你用法。在打仗的时候，你 可能看到我被劈成两半。但对一个骑士而言，这是 司空见惯的事。那时你必须把我摔在地上的那一半 身体轻轻拾起来。然后小心翼翼地，并且是一分都 不差地和留在马上的另一半放在一起。再给我滴上 两滴那种魔法药水，我马上就会好起来了。” “好，”桑丘说，“如果你知道像这种药水的秘 方，我也不要去统治海岛了。只要一点点这种药水 ⑦quantity/kwDntit/n.量： 数量：分量 就可以使我变成一个财主。” “你很快就能学会那个秘方，”他的主人说， “还有更重大的秘密。不过，现在你还是帮我看看 我这只耳朵吧！疼死了。” ·069· Don Quixote Don Quixote is angry again Don Quixote now noticed for the first time his helmet was broken. He became wild with anger.He lifted his sword and said seriously,"I shall punish the wicked man who has done this.And until I do,I will not eat bread at table,nor sleep under a roof②，nor..”Here he could say no more,because he was so angry. Sancho was rather frightened by these angry words,"If the gentleman has obeyed your orders and visited your lady at Toboso then he has done all you asked.He should not be punished again,if he does nothing wrong.” “You are right.”answered Don Quixote,“I need not punish that man any more.Yet I shall live like that until I have won another good helmet from a knight.” “Think what you are saying,sir,”cried Sancho,“Many days may pass before you meet somebody with a good helmet.What will you do? How long can you continue sleeping in your clothes,outside,every night?In this part of the country we shall only meet men driving mules. They never wear helmets,and perhaps never hear about these things." Don Quixote's promises “You are mistaken,”answered Don Quixote,“Before we have gone two hours on the road,we shall see knights and soldiers5.We shall meet knights who have fought the great rulers of China.Then I shall not only ·070· 唐吉可德 唐吉诃德又愤怒起来 ①notice/nautIs/,.注意到 唐吉诃德这才注意到他的头盔破了。他愤怒得 要发狂。他举起剑，严肃地说道：“我要惩罚干下 这件事的那个坏蛋。否则，我就不在桌上吃面包， ②roof /ru:f/n屋顶：车顶 也不在房子里睡觉，也不…”说到这里，他再也 说不下去了，因为他是如此的愤怒。 桑丘听了这些愤怒的言词，有点害怕地说： “假如那个绅土遵从你的指示，去拜访你在托布佐 的夫人，那么你要求他做的事他就都完成了。假如 他没做错什么事的话，就不应该再受惩罚。” “你说得对，”唐吉诃德答道，“我不必再惩罚 那个人了。但是我要照刚才说的那样过下去，直到 我从别的骑士身上再赢得一顶好头盔。” “想想你在说些什么呀！老爷，”桑丘叫道， “在你碰见有一顶好头盔的人以前，可能还要过好 多天呢！你要怎么办？每天晚上穿着衣服在屋子外 面睡，你能这样睡多久呀？在咱们国家的这个地 ③perhaps /pa'hxps/ad.t也 区，我们只能碰见一些赶骡子的人。他们绝不会戴 许，大概 头盔，也许从来就没听说过这些东西。” ④hear about听到关于某事 物的消息 唐吉诃德的承诺 “你搞错了，”唐吉诃德说，“咱们在这条路上 再走不到两个小时，就会看到骑士和军人。我们会 ③soldier'sauld3o/n.军人， 土兵 遇到一些曾经为中国伟大的统治者作战的骑士。然 后，我不但可以把海岛给你，我也会拥有一个王 ·071· Don Quixote have islands to give you;I shall have whole kingdoms.You will be greater and richer than in your wildest dreams.But look in your bags now.See if you have anything to eat.Then we will look for a castle where we may sleep tonight." Sancho took a few small pieces of bread from the bag."This is all I have.It is very poor food for a knight." “You are wrong again,”answered Don Quixote,“Knights-errant do not need good food.They are pleased to live without food for several weeks.When they eat something,they are satisfied with the most simple food they can find." When they had finished their poor supper,they went to look for a castle.But they could not find one.So they had to sleep in a hut belonging to some poor shepherds. ·072· 唐吉可德 ①kingdom /kindom//n.王 国。你会成为一名你做梦也想不到的伟大、富有的 国：领域 人。不过，现在看看你的袋子，有没有什么东西可 以吃。然后咱们就找一座今晚可以过夜的城堡。” 桑丘从袋子里掏出几片小面包，说：“这是我所 有的东西了。对一个骑士来说，这些食物真是非常 差劲。” “你又错了，”唐吉河德答道，“游侠并不需要 美食。好几个星期没有东西吃，他们也会过得很快 乐。当他们想吃点什么的时候，即使他们能找到的 ②be satisfied with对…感 食物再简单不过，他们也会感到很满足。” 到满意 ③hut/hAt/n.(简陋的)小 他们吃完这一顿可怜的晚餐后，就去找寻城堡。 屋；临时营房 但是他们一座也找不到。于是，他们不得不睡在一 ④shepherd /"Jepad/n.牧羊 间穷牧羊人的小茅屋里。 人，羊倌 ·073·
