It stopped
好的 鈴聲停止了
When we're talking about collecting units
我們所討論的征集單位
Not particularly an interesting topic,
并不是一個有趣的話題
I don't think that would be my past time
我也不打算以此來打發時間
But we're trying to make fun, or the idea is the questing
我們不妨來談一個有趣的概念即
Would be an important aspect of being a knight,
追捕是作為一名騎士的重要工作
It's not supposed to be particularly attractive
雖然這并沒有什么吸引力
And he's questing after the beast Glatissant
他在追捕傳說中的尋水獸
we're on page 23 and you should remember Glatissant's name
你們應該記住23頁上尋水獸這個名字
And finally the Questing Beast only stays healthy
只有在Pellinore的追捕之下
and alive as long as Pellinore questing after it
尋水獸才會生龍活虎
In otherwise, it fades away and dies
反之 它則會奄奄一息直至死去
And so, to me I can't help to think of the Peter Paul and Mary song
由此 我不禁想起了Peter Paul和Mary的一首歌
Puff, the Magic Dragon
神龍帕夫
and how that's the same idea
其主題也是一樣的
And I think what's important here is the quest is almost like a dream
在我看來重要的是 追捕就如同夢境一樣
So unless we maybe nurture our dreams, if this is telling us something,
也許是我們培植了自己的夢境 這些夢境意有所指
we'll read through this, unless we nurture our dreams,
我們從中領會深意 但是 如果我們不培植夢境
unless we nurture our ideals, that they fade away and die
如果我們不培植幻想 這些念頭就都會消逝
And so we have to pay attention to them
因此我們不得不多加留意
You can see a lot with this and look up vocabulary,
你們可以看看這大段的描寫 查查詞匯
and just to prove that I do, they describe the Questing Beast
正如我說的 23頁整頁都在描寫這個尋水獸
toward the bottom of page 23 and they say this beast,
從下數第12行開始
about 12 lines from the bottom
據他們形容 這個野獸有蛇狀的頭
Has the head of a serpent, I think we're all fine there
這點我們還可以接受
and a body of a libbard
和一個libbard一樣的身體
What the crud is a libbard?
Libbard是什么鬼東西
It's an old spelling variation actually of leopard
其實它是豹的一種古老的拼寫變體
So the body of leopard, the hunches of a lion
所以 豹身獅臀
and he's footed like a hart
足若馬鹿
A hart is actually the male of a red deer
馬鹿就是紅色的雄鹿
I'm not gonna ask to draw this on the testing, even though interesting
我不會要求你們在考試時把它畫出來 雖然那會很好玩
Here's a large white dog helping him pursue the beast
有一條白色巨犬幫他追捕這只猛獸
but all of this is kind of silly, funniness
只可惜 一切都是無用功
And Pellinore certainly does not make questing sound fun
Pellinore顯然沒有把追捕當作一件有趣的事
It's kind of an arguest thing, remember he's about this for 17 years
恰恰相反 他花了整整十七年做這件事情
17 years
十七年啊
