When we're talking about collecting units
我们所讨论的征集单位
Not particularly an interesting topic,
并不是一个有趣的话题
I don't think that would be my past time
我也不打算以此来打发时间
But we're trying to make fun, or the idea is the questing
我们不妨来谈一个有趣的概念即
Would be an important aspect of being a knight,
追捕是作为一名骑士的重要工作
It's not supposed to be particularly attractive
虽然这并没有什么吸引力
And he's questing after the beast Glatissant
他在追捕传说中的寻水兽
we're on page 23 and you should remember Glatissant's name
你们应该记住23页上寻水兽这个名字
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
寻水兽才会生龙活虎
In otherwise, it fades away and dies
反之 它则会奄奄一息直至死去
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
神龙帕夫
and how that's the same idea
其主题也是一样的
And I think what's important here is the quest is almost like a dream
在我看来重要的是 追捕就如同梦境一样
So unless we maybe nurture our dreams, if this is telling us something,
也许是我们培植了自己的梦境 这些梦境意有所指
we'll read through this, unless we nurture our dreams,
我们从中领会深意 但是 如果我们不培植梦境
unless we nurture our ideals, that they fade away and die
如果我们不培植幻想 这些念头就都会消逝
And so we have to pay attention to them
因此我们不得不多加留意
You can see a lot with this and look up vocabulary,
你们可以看看这大段的描写 查查词汇
and just to prove that I do, they describe the Questing Beast
正如我说的 23页整页都在描写这个寻水兽
toward the bottom of page 23 and they say this beast,
从下数第12行开始
about 12 lines from the bottom
据他们形容 这个野兽有蛇状的头
Has the head of a serpent, I think we're all fine there
这点我们还可以接受
and a body of a libbard
和一个libbard一样的身体
What the crud is a libbard?
Libbard是什么鬼东西
It's an old spelling variation actually of leopard
其实它是豹的一种古老的拼写变体
So the body of leopard, the hunches of a lion
所以 豹身狮臀
and he's footed like a hart
足若马鹿
A hart is actually the male of a red deer
马鹿就是红色的雄鹿
I'm not gonna ask to draw this on the testing, even though interesting
我不会要求你们在考试时把它画出来 虽然那会很好玩
Here's a large white dog helping him pursue the beast
有一条白色巨犬帮他追捕这只猛兽
but all of this is kind of silly, funniness
只可惜 一切都是无用功
And Pellinore certainly does not make questing sound fun
Pellinore显然没有把追捕当作一件有趣的事
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这件事情
17 years
十七年啊
