11 In the Sierra Morena摩雷那山脉中-双语名著无障碍阅读丛书——《堂吉诃德Don Ouixote》

11 In the Sierra Morena In the mountains Don Ouixote was made very sad by the ungrateful behaviour of the prisoners,and he allowed Sancho to lead him.Sancho thought it would be wise to hide in the mountains of the Sierra Morena.This was wild country between La Mancha and Andalusia.After travelling all day,they stopped for the night in a narrow valley. Early next morning,Don Quixote was woken by loud cries from Sancho.He was in great trouble,for his donkey had gone. Don Quixote comforted his squire by promising to give him three young donkeys that he had at home.Then,riding on Rozinante,he continued,looking for adventure.Sancho had to walk behind. That afternoon,Don Quixote had a new idea.He said it would make his name famous all over the world.The great knight,Amadis,had gone to an island far away because his lady,Oriana,was unkind to him.So Don Quixote decided to pass some time in the Sierra Morena.This would show his sorrow for the coldness5 and unkindness of the beautiful Dulcinea. 106· 11摩雷那山脉中 在山中 唐吉诃德被那些忘恩负义的囚犯搞得非常伤心， 就让桑丘在前面带路。桑丘认为躲在摩雷那山脉中 ①siem/sr'era/n.锯齿山脊 (尤指在西班牙及西班牙 是个很明智的选择。这是一块介于拉曼却和安达露 语系的美洲国家的)】 西亚之间的荒地。走了一整天后，他们在一处狭窄 ②narrow"naerau/a.狭的， 的山谷停下来过夜。 狭窄的 第二天一大早，唐吉诃德被桑丘的大呼小叫给 吵醒了。他的麻烦大了，因为他的驴子不见了。 唐吉诃德安慰他的随从，答应把他家里的三匹 小驴子送给他。然后，他骑上驽骍难得，继续寻找 冒险。桑丘只好跟在后头步行。 那天下午，唐吉诃德有了一个新主意。他说这 ③all over浑身，到处 会使他闻名世界。伟大的骑士阿马狄斯曾到一座 海岛远行，因为他的夫人奥安娜对他无情。所以 ④sorrow/sprou/n.悲痛，悲 唐吉河德决定在摩雷那山中待些时日，以用来表 哀，悲伤，忧伤：伤心事，不 示他为了美丽的杜尔西内娅那么的冷酷无情而伤 幸的事 心难过。 ⑤coldness /kauldnis/m.寒 冷：冷酷：冷静 ·107· Don Quixote Don Quixote's special sadness Sancho did not like this new idea.“Why,”he asked,“do you take this trouble for nothing?Amadis and all the other foolish knights had unkind ladies.But how do you know that Dulcinea is unkind?" “I do not know,”answered Don Quixote,“and that is why my idea is so wonderful.Any man may go mad with sadness when he has a good reason.There is nothing wonderful about that.But to go mad without any reason for sadness,that is really wonderful.It is the behaviour of a great knight.I shall stay here,and be sad,until you come back.You must bring an answer to the letter I shall write to that sweet lady of Toboso. If she answers as I hope she will,all will be well." While they were talking about this plan,they came to a wood with a small stream.There were many coloured flowers,and the music of running water,and of leaves moving in the wind.To Don Ouixote this seemed a perfect place in which to stay and act the part of a sad man in love.So he got down from his horse,took off the saddle,and let Rozinante go. Sancho asked his master if he really wanted to send a letter to Dulcinea.“Certainly,”said Don Quixote,“why do you ask?" “Because,”said Sancho,“if you wish me to carry this letter,you should lend me Rozinante to carry me to Toboso.If I walk,sir,you will be really mad before I can get back." ·108· 唐吉河可德 唐吉诃德与众不同的哀伤 桑丘可不喜欢这个新主意。他问道：“无缘无 故，你为什么自找麻烦？阿马狄斯和其他愚蠢的骑 士碰上了无情的女人。但你怎么知道杜尔西内娅也 很无情？” “我是不知道。”唐吉诃德回答说，“而正因为如 此，我的主意才妙。不论哪个人，当他有正当的理 由时都可能会悲伤得发疯。这没什么稀奇。但是毫 无悲伤的理由就发疯，那才真稀奇。那才是一个伟 大骑士的行为。我要留在这里，一直悲伤到你回 ①sweet/swi:t/a.甜的，可爱 来。我会写封信给托布佐那位甜蜜的夫人，你一定 的 要捎个回信来。假如她的回答如我所愿，一切都会 好起来。” ②colour /kAla/(=color）g 在谈论这个计划的时候，他们来到一个树林， 涂颜色于，着色 林中有一条小溪，还有许许多多五颜六色的花朵， 潺潺流水及树叶在风中婆娑的声音。对唐吉河德来 ③perfect'p3fikt/a.完美 的：理想的 说，这似乎是一个绝妙的地方，可以留下来扮演恋 ④part/pa:t/n(戏剧、电影 爱中伤心男人的角色。于是他就下马，取下马鞍， 等中的)人物、角色 放驽骍难得走开。 桑丘问他的主人是否真要送一封信给杜尔西内 娅。“那当然，”唐吉诃德说：“你干吗问这个？” “因为，”桑丘说，“如果你希望我送这封信， 你就应该把驽骍难得借我，载我去托布佐。假如我 步行去的话，先生，在我赶回来以前，你可能会真 的疯了。” ·109· Don Quixote Sancho talks about Dulcinea Don Quixote agreed.He immediately took a piece of paper from his notebook,and began to write his letter.He also wrote to his servant, ordering her to give Sancho the young donkeys."Ask somebody to copy this letter on good paper and in good writing,"said Don Quixote,"Do this in the first village on the way to Toboso.Dulcinea will not know I did not write it,for she cannot read or write.Although I have known her and loved her for twelve years,I think she hardly knows me.She lives very quietly with her father,Lorenzo Corchuelo,and her mother, Aldonza Nogales.” “What！”cried Sancho in surprise,for he had not heard Dulcinea's real name before."Is this the lady you love,sir,the farmer's daughter, Aldonza Lorenzo?" “She,and no other,”answered Don Quixote,“and she deserves my love more than any lady in the world." “I know her well,”said Sancho,“she's a good,strong girl..What a voice she has!I remember one day she went to call her father's men from a field.They were a mile away,but they heard her perfectly! She has laughed and joked a long time since I met her." "This is a great surprise to me.I always thought,sir,that you were in love with some great lady.You have sent back rich presents and knights.What good are these to a farmer's daughter?What will knights think when they kneel before her,and find her busy with dirty farm work?They will look foolish when she laughs at them and sends them away!” ·110 唐吉可德 桑丘谈论杜尔西内娅 唐吉诃德同意他的说法。他立刻从他的笔记本 上撕掉一张纸，并开始写信。他还写信给他的仆人， ①copy /kopl/.抄写，复制 命令把那些小驴子给桑丘。“找个人把这封信好好 地誊写一遍，”唐吉诃德说，“去托布佐的路上，一 碰到村落，你就办好这件事。杜尔西内娅不会知道 信不是我写的，因为她既不会读也不会写。虽然我 认识她、爱她有十二年之久，但我想她可能根本就 ②hardly /ha:dh/ad.几乎 不，简直不 不认识我。她和她父亲罗伦佐·柯屈罗，还有母亲艾 敦查·诺加丽斯一起过着非常平静的日子。” “什么！”桑丘惊讶地叫道，因为他以前从没听 过杜尔西内娅的真名。“你爱的这位夫人，先生， 就是那个农夫的女儿，艾敦查·罗伦佐吗？” “就是她，没有别人，”唐吉诃德说，“她比全 世界任何小姐都值得我去爱。” “我跟她很熟，”桑丘说道，“她是一个很不错、 很强壮的女人。她那个嗓门哪！我记得有一天，她 去田里叫她父亲的伙计回来。他们离她有一英里 perfectly /'p3:fiktl/ad. 远，但是都可以清清楚楚听到她的声音！在我见到 完美地，完全地，绝对地 她之前，老远就可以听到她的说笑声了。 “这真叫我大吃一惊！先生，我一直以为你是爱 上了什么了不起的夫人。你送回去的那些丰厚的礼 物和骑士，对一个农夫的女儿有什么用？当骑士们 在她面前跪倒，发现她正忙着做又脏又累的农活 时，他们会怎么想？她朝着他们哈哈大笑，把他们 赶走的时候，岂不是叫他们丢人现眼！” ·111· Don Quixote Don Quixote's letter to Dulcinea “Oh,Sancho,Sancho,”answered Don Quixote,“what a foolish talker you are!What are all these mad words about Aldonza Lorenzo? You do not know her.I love her,and she is the most beautiful woman in the world.She is greater than any princess." Sancho asked pardon for his words.He asked his master to read the letter to him.This was the letter: "Wonderful and Great Lady, Sweetest Dulcinea de Toboso,I wish you health,although my own is hopeless.My heart is full of sadness because of long absence from you.You have refused me your beauty.You are too good ever to be mine. I know that you do not think of me,and I am sad.The time of my pain must be short.Yes,death is my enemy.He will soon end everything, unless you can show me some kindness.My squire,Sancho Panza,will tell you that this is true. Yours until death, The Knight Full of Sadness." “Well！”cried Sancho,when he had heard this letter,“This is the best piece of writing I have ever listened to.And the name,'Knight Full of Sadness'is very good.If you will write the order for the donkeys,I will begin my journey now." "Wait until you have seen my behaviour for half an hour,"said his master,"you will then be better able to describe it to Dulcinea." “You may be sure I will do it,.”said Sancho,“I will tell her a very good story!But tell me,sir,what will you eat when I am away?" ·112· 唐吉可德 唐吉诃德写给杜尔西内娅的信 “噢！桑丘！桑丘！”唐吉诃德答道，“你真是个 ①talker'to:ka/n.谈话者， 奇笨无比的唠叨鬼！你讲艾敦查·罗伦佐这些疯言疯语 空谈家 做什么？你根本不了解她。我爱她，她是这个世界上 最美丽的女人。她比任何一个公主都了不起。” 桑丘请求他的主人原谅他说的话。他请主人把 ②pardon∥pa:dh/n.原谅： 信念给他听。信是这样写的： 宽恕 “尊贵的夫人： 最最可爱的托布佐的杜尔西内娅，我祝你身体 健康，虽然我自己己无药可教。因为长久设能在你 ③absence/"ebsns/.不在， 身边，我的心中满怀忧伤。你拒绝我一亲芳泽。你 缺席 太出色了，而我永远得不到你。我知道你不会想念 我，所以我很悲伤。我痛苦的时间一定不会很长。 是的，死亡是我的敌人。它很快就会了结一切，除 ④unless /an'lcs/con.如果 非你能对我表示一些仁意的心意。我的随从，桑丘 不，除非 潘沙，会告诉你这些都是我的肺腑之言。 至死都属于你的 忧郁满怀的骑士” “啊呀！”听完了这封信后，桑丘叫道，“这是 我所见过的最棒的一篇文章。而且‘忧郁满怀的骑 士’这个名字非常棒。如果你写完关于驴子的指 示，我现在就可以上路了。” “等一下，你先看半个小时我的举动，”他主人 说，“这样你才能把我的情况跟杜尔西内娅说明白 些。” “你放心，我一定做得到，”桑丘说，“我会讲 一个非常动人的故事给她听！不过，告诉我，先 ·113· Don Quixote Don Quixote told him that wild fruit would be enough.So Sancho put the saddle on Rozinante's back,said good-bye to his master,and began his journey. ·114· 唐吉可德 生，等我走了以后，你吃什么呀？” 唐吉诃德告诉他，野生的果子就足够了。于是， 桑丘就把马鞍放到驽骍难得的背上，告别他的主 人，开始他的行程了。 ·115·
