Don Quixote Decides To Be a Knight-Errant

The Reader

About three hundred and fifty years ago, in the part of Spain called La Mancha, there lived a man named Alonso Quijano. Today he is always called Don Quixo
te. We shall see later in the story why he changed his name.

One hot summer afternoon, this gentleman was sitting in a room in his small house. A very thick book was lying open on the tabl
e, and he was reading it with great interest. There were other big, thick books around him, on the chairs and on the floor.

He was about fifty years old, tall and thin, with a long face.
His brain was full of wild ideas, for he lived in a world of dreams. One hand was on the open book. With the other hand he held a sword that lay across his knees.

致读者。
大约三百五十年前,在西班牙有个名为「拉兰却」的地方,住着一个叫阿朗索.奎亚诺的人。 今天大家都叫他唐吉诃德。 看了以下的故事后,我们就会知道他为什么要改名字了。
一个燠热的夏日午后,这位绅士正坐在他的小房子的一个房间里。 一本厚厚的书打开来摆在桌上,他正在津津有味地看着。 在他四周的椅子和地板上,还有其它一些又厚又大的书本。
他的年纪在五十岁左右,高高瘦瘦,脸长长的。 脑子里塞满了疯狂的念头,因为他活在一个梦想的世界中。 他一手放在打开的书本上。 另一只手则握住横放在膝盖上的长剑。
