Chapter 5 The storm
第5章 暴風雨
One day in the autumn my master had to go to a distant town on business.
秋天的一天,主人因生意上的事得到遠處的鎮子上去一趟。
John harnessed me to the carriage and the three of us went off.
約翰給我套上車,我們三個就上路了。
There had been a lot of rain, and the wind was very strong.
雨下得很大,風也非常強勁。
When we came to the river,the wa-ter was so high it nearly reached the wooden bridge,and many of the fields were under water.
當我們來到河邊時,水已經快漲上了木橋,大片的田野都被水淹了。
In one low part of the road the water was half-way up to my knees.
在路上地勢低洼的地方,水幾乎沒過了我的膝蓋。
We got to the town and the masters business took a long time.
我們到了鎮上,主人辦事用了好長時間。
It was late in the afternoon when we started back for home.
當我們往回趕時,已是快晚上了。
The wind was much stronger,and as we drove through a wood,I heard my master say,Ive never been out in a storm as bad as this,John.
風更緊了,當我們穿過一片樹林時,我聽見主人說:我還沒在這么大的暴風雨中外出過,約翰。
Indeed,I thought so too, hearing the terrible noise of that wild wind in the trees.
的確,我也這么想呢,狂風在樹林間發出那么可怕的呼嘯。
關于《黑駿馬》
他先是被賣給善待馬的戈登老爺當坐騎;后來又被賣給了W伯爵,那可惡的勒馬韁繩成為他最討厭的東西,也是所有馬兒的不幸。
