Don Quixote's Last Battle

The Hanging Legs

We must leave out many of the adventures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and tell the story of his last battle. One evening they were riding to Barcelona, and i
t became dark before they found an inn. They had to pass the night in a small wood, not far from the road. As Sancho went among the trees, he struck his head against something. Feeling with his han
ds, he found that it was a pair of legs hanging from a tree. Shaking with fear, he went on a little way, and found another pair of legs hanging down. "Help, master," he cried, "the trees are full of men's legs and fe
et."

Don Quixote came, and soon understood what had happened. "There is nothing to be afraid of," he said. "These legs belong to robbers and killers. They have
been caught and hanged here by police officers."
16唐吉诃德最后一战。
吊在空中的腿。
我们必须省略唐吉诃德和桑科.判扎的许多冒险,来谈谈他最后一战的经过。 一天傍晚,他们正往巴塞隆纳前进,还没找到客栈天就黑了。 所以他们只好在离马路不远的小树林中过夜。 桑科在树林间走着,头碰上了什么东西。 他用手摸索了一下,发现那是从树上吊下来的两条腿。 他吓得全身发抖,向前走了一小段路,发现又有两条悬垂的腿。 「救命哪!先生,」他叫道:「树上全都是人的腿和脚呀!」
唐吉诃德走过来,很快就明白怎么回事。 「没什么好怕的!」他说。 「这都是强盗和杀人犯的腿。 他们被保安官员逮住,然后就被吊死在这儿。」
