Don Quixote Becomes a Knight Don Quixote quite believed all this, and asked to be made a knight immediately. "If anybody attacks me again," said Don Quixote, "I shall kill everyone in the castle. I may forgive some, if the governor wants me to." The inn-keeper was even more worried and frightened. He went into the inn, and brought out an old notebook. Then, telling Don Quixote to kneel in front of him, he began to read in a low voice. He read quickly, like a man saying his prayers. In the middle of his reading, he took the sword, and laid it softly on Don Quixote's shoulder. When he had finished speaking in this serious way, one of the beggar-women fastened his sword to his belt. Then Don Quixote, the new-made knight, went to get Rozinante. He rode away, to fight dishonest people everywhere. The inn-kee per was very pleased to see him go, and did not ask him to pay! | 唐吉诃德成为武士。 唐吉诃德对这一切都深信不疑,因此请求立刻就被任命作武士。 「假如谁再攻击我,」唐吉诃德说:「我就杀光城堡中所有的人。 不过如果堡主要我放过一些人的话,我会照做的。」 客栈老板这下子更担心、更害怕了。 他走进客栈,拿出一本旧账簿。 然后,他叫唐吉诃德跪在他的面前,开始低声念起来了。 他念得很快,像一个人在祷告一样。 他念到一半的时候,就拿起长剑,轻放在唐吉诃德的肩上。 等他如此庄重地念完之后,乞妇中有一个把他的剑扣紧在皮带上。 接着,唐吉诃德,这个新任命的武士,走去找洛稷喃特。 他上马而去,去和各地的坏人拚斗。 客栈老板非常高兴看到他离开,甚至没要他付钱! |
