At Rest Don Quixote's New Plans When Don Quixote was well enough to travel, he left Barcelona. Riding only a few miles each day, he at last reached his own village. The news had arriv ed before him, and when he went into his house he found all his friends waiting for him. During his travels, Don Quixote had met some young people who enjoyed acting like shepherds. After he had bee n beaten by the Knight of the Moon, he thought it would be nice to become a shepherd. He could spend a year looking after his sheep, singing simple songs for Dulcinea and writing her name on trees. He told the priest , the barber and Samson Carrasco about this new plan. They thought that it would be a very healthy life and praised the plan. At the same time, it was difficult for them not to laugh at the old knight with grey hair who wanted to be a shepherd, and sing love-songs. | 17安息。 唐吉诃德的新计划。 唐吉诃德复原到足可旅行时,就离开巴塞隆纳。 每天骑马只走几哩,他终于到达了他的村子。 消息在他到家之前就传到了,所以当他走进自己的屋子时,发现所有的朋友都在等他。 在他旅游期间,唐吉诃德遇见一些年轻人,他们很快活地过着牧羊人的生活。 在他被月光武士打败了以后,他认为作个牧羊人也很不错。 他可以照料羊群,为达辛妮亚唱些简单的歌曲,在树上刻写她的名字,消磨掉一年的时间。 他把这个新的计划讲给牧师、理发匠和萨姆逊.卡拉斯科听。 他们认为这是一个非常有益健康的生活方式,都称赞这个计划。 同时,对他们来说,想到一个老武士一头白发,还想当牧羊人,唱情歌,很难不哈哈大笑一番。 |
