"What can that be?" said Sigurd to himself. "Is it a fire on some distant mountain peak?"
西格德自言自語道：“那是什么？是遠處的山頂著火了嗎?”
Then he remembered the words which the bird had said: "If Sigurd wishes to save the princess, he must go through the wall of fire."
這時他想起鳥兒說過的話：“如果西格德想救公主，就必須穿過火墻。”
"Now surely I am on the right path," thought the young hero.
“我現在走的路一定是對的，”西格德想。
"The light which I see must be the fire around the castle."
“我看到的一定是城堡四周的火光。”
Sigurd went joyously forward until night came on; then he stopped and lay down to rest.
西格德興高采烈地向前走去，從天亮走到天黑，然后停下躺著休息。
He was so eager to ride on and to find the princess that he could hardly wait for morning.

As soon as the sun had risen, he sprang upon his good horse, and they hastened on their way again.
太陽一出來，他就騎上馬，又急忙上路了。
Many hours they traveled. The light grew brighter and brighter until Sigurd could see that it was high on a mountain.
他們走了很久。光線越來越亮，西格德看到這光亮來自高山上。
Then he knew that he was coming very near to the castle in which lay the sleeping princess.
這時，他知道自己已經距離城堡很近了，熟睡的公主就躺在城堡里面。
Suddenly he saw the castle; and around it leaped the flames which he had seen so far away.
突然他看到了城堡，他遠遠看見火焰在城堡的四周跳躍著。
Up the mountain the good horse went.
馬兒朝山上走去。
Just before the wall of fire was reached, Sigurd stopped and said to his horse,
在到達火墻之前，西格德停下來對馬說:
"In that castle lies a princess whom we must save.
“城堡里躺著一位公主，我們必須救她。”
If the fire burns us, we shall not turn back, for I must be a hero and must suffer;for others,
如果我們被火燒著了，我們決不會回頭，因為我必須是英雄，必須忍受苦難，對別人而言,
and you are the bravest steed that man ever rode!"
你是英雄最勇敢的馬!”
