But Sancho could not keep quiet. He began to talk about the adventures and made h is master very angry. Sancho was in danger of getting into trouble, when they saw a man on a donkey coming towards them. When Sancho saw the man he shouted loudly, "Get off that donkey, Pasamonte! Get off, I say, you thief!" Pasamonte, the leader of the prisoners jumped off and ran away very quickly. After he had run away with the others, he had stolen the donkey, while Sancho and Don Quixote were asleep. Sancho's joy was great. He put his arms round the donkey's neck and said, "What has happened to you, dear friend?" But the donkey stood and looked at him without a word. | 不过桑科无法保持沉默。 他开始谈起那件冒险,这使他的主人非常愤怒。 正当桑科有惹祸上身的危险时,他们看到有个人骑着驴子过来。 当桑科看到那个人,他高声吼道:「滚下那匹驴子,帕沙蒙提! 滚下来,你这个小偷!」 因此帕沙蒙提──那些囚犯的首领,非常迅速地跳下来逃走。 原来他和其它人逃脱以后,趁着桑科和唐吉诃德睡觉之际偷走那匹驴子。 桑科的喜悦非同小可。 他伸手搂住驴脖子,说道:「你碰上了什么事啊!好朋友?」 但是驴子站在那里望着他,一言不发。 |
