While this was happening, Don Quixote went on his way, very satisfied with the beginning of his
adventures. After a time, he met a company of men. They were merchants of Toledo, going to Mercia to buy silk. There were six merchants and four servants, riding horses. There were
also three mule-drivers, walking and leading their animals.

Don Quixote and the Merchants

Don Quixote thought that this was another chance to show his
bravery as a knight. He covered his body with his shield, and held his lance tightly. Then he waited for the knights, for he was sure that they were knights. When they were near enough, he cried out
to them, "Stop, everyone of you! Agree that the most beautiful lady in the world is the Queen of La Mancha, Dulcinea del Toboso!"

When they heard these unusual words and saw the strange man, the merch
ants stopped. One of them, who liked a joke, answered for all of them, "Sir knight, we do not know the lady. Let us see her. If she is really as beautiful as you say, we shall be pleased to agree."
当这件事发生时,唐吉诃德继续赶着路,非常满意这第一场冒险。 过了一会儿,就碰见一伙人。 他们是多勒多的商人,正要去木尔西亚采购生丝。 共有六个商人,四个仆人,都骑着马。 还有三个赶骡子的,步行引导他们的骡子。
唐吉诃德和商人。
唐吉诃德心里想着这又是一个他表现武士之勇的机会。 他用盾牌遮护身体,紧紧地握住长矛。 然后他就等候这些武士,因为他确信他们都是武士。 等他们来得够近了,就对他们叫道:「站住!你们每一个都给我站住! 快同意这个世界上最美丽的夫人是拉兰却之女王,托布佐之达辛妮亚!」
当他们听完这些奇怪的话,并看到这个古怪的人时,商人都停住了。 其中一个喜欢开玩笑,就替所有的人回答说:「武士先生,我们不认识那位夫人。
让我们见见她吧。 如果她真像你说得那么美丽,我们会很乐意同意。」
