He Rides Until Evening

As D
on Quixote rode along, he imagined great fights which he always won. He rode slowly, for hour after hour, until the sun was high in the sky. He rode all that day, but found no adventures. When evening
came, both he and his horse were tired and hungry. He was looking for a castle where he could get rest and food, when he saw an inn. It was almost dark when he rode up to the door.


The inn was one of the poorest in Spain. It was used by workmen and poor travelers. But the mad knight thought it was a big castle. Two dirty beggar-women were standing outside the door. Don Quixote imagined they were rich ladies, taking an evening walk in front of the castle walls.

Then, to complete this foolish idea, a man in a field blew his horn. He was only calling some animal
s back to the farm. But Don Quixote was sure that a soldier on the castle walls had seen him. He thought the soldier was telling the ruler of the castle to come and greet him. He was very pleased, and
pushed up his visor. The beggar-women looked at his tired, dusty face.
他骑马到傍晚。
唐吉诃德骑着马一路下去,同时幻想出一些都是他打赢的伟大战斗。 他慢慢地骑,一个小时又一个小时,直到太阳高高地挂在空中。 他骑了一整天,但是没有任何奇遇。 当傍晚来临时,他和马儿又累又饿了。 他就寻找城堡,希望可以获得休息和食物。这时,他看到了一家客栈。 等他骑马来到门口时,天色几乎暗了。
这家客栈算得上是西班牙最差劲的了。 只有工人和没有钱的旅人才会来住。 但是这位疯武士却把它想成一座大城堡。 有两个骯脏的乞妇站在门外。 唐吉诃德把她们幻想成富有的夫人,正在城墙前作晚间散步。
接着,一个完完全全是荒谬的念头产生了,田野里有人吹起号角。 其实,他只是在召唤一些动物回农场来。 但唐吉诃德却深信有一个士兵在城堡墙头上看到他了。 他认为这个士兵正在通知这座城堡的统治者出来迎接他。 他非常高兴,把帽檐往上推。 那个乞妇看到他疲累、满是尘埃的脸孔。
