"You see,Master Marner,"she said one Aaron had finished,"that's?Christmas music,the Christmas Day service?is wonderful,with?all the voices and the music.I?hope you'll be there with us.And remember if you feel ill,I'll be happy to calm and cook or clean for you.But I?beg you, please stop weaving on Sundays.it's bed?for your soul and body,I'm sure.We must go now.Goodbye Master Marner."

“Thank you,and goodbye”said Silas,as he opened the door for them.He could not help feeling relieved when she had gone.Now he could weave and moan as much as he liked.

As the knight?came?thundering towards them,they saw that he was?huge beyond mortal size and mounted upon?a horse size of a small elephant.When they saw this the damsel and the?dwarf?fled,leaving the parrot behind,at?which the bird began to cry out to King?Arthur?to open his cage and?set him free.But Arthur?merely?laughed and reminded?the bird?of the song it had?but lately sung?to him?concerning honour.Then he prepared to defend himself?against?the huge knight.

As you may expect,this was a mighty?battle,for the gaint knight was a terrible foe?and King Arthur?was still young and untried.But he fought bravely and with?skill,and youth was on his side,so?that he began to force the huge creature back before him and to inflict several?great wounds upon him.It amazed the king that,whenever he stuck the knight on his armor,no matter if it was upon the shield?or the helm?or the leg,blood gushed force as if from a far deeper wound.Finally,he struck several blows which brought the huge fellow to his?knees?and with all the force in his body King Arthur cut off the man's right arm,which still held his sword.

Then the?knight gave force a great roar and staggered back?and forth,crying out and fountaining blood on every side.King Arthur?noticed that wherever the blood fell the earth?smoked as if?it were?burning.

Arthur?stood in awe?at?the giant's?death throes,during which he felled?trees and gouged great trenches in the earth.But at last he lay still,and the king approached to examine the body.There he found a most marvelous and terrible thing.For when he tried to remove the fallen knight's helm,he found it to be all?of a piece with the body,and indeed everything,armour,helm,even the weapons he carried,were all of flesh and bone.And the flesh was?hot to the touch,though beginning to cool,and it was hard to dry like a snake.

King Arthur and His?Knights of the Round Table

》

翻譯：當(dāng)（巨人）騎士轟隆隆地朝他們走來時(shí)，他們看到他身材巨大，超凡人之大，騎在一匹小象大小的馬上。當(dāng)他們看到這一幕時(shí)，少女和侏儒逃跑了，留下了鸚鵡，這只鳥開始呼喊亞瑟王打開他的籠子，讓他自由。但亞瑟只是笑了笑，提醒鳥兒它最近唱的關(guān)于榮譽(yù)的歌（歌里是亞瑟稱霸一方的預(yù)言）。然后他準(zhǔn)備防御巨大的騎士。

正如你所料，這是一場浩浩蕩蕩的戰(zhàn)斗，因?yàn)椋ň奕耍T士是一個(gè)可怕的敵人，而亞瑟王還很年輕，沒有經(jīng)過考驗(yàn)。但他英勇而有技巧地戰(zhàn)斗，擁有青春的力量，以至于他能夠迫使這個(gè)巨大的生物有所退卻，并對他造成幾處巨大的傷害。令（亞瑟）王驚訝的是，每當(dāng)他砍傷（巨人）騎士的盔甲時(shí)，或是在盾牌上、頭盔上還是腿上，鮮血都會(huì)涌出，仿佛從更深的傷口中涌出。最后，他又給了幾刀，使這個(gè)巨大的家伙跪了下來（或是“摔倒并以膝蓋著地”），亞瑟王用盡全身的力量砍斷了那個(gè)人的右臂，右臂仍然握著他的劍。

然后騎士發(fā)出一聲巨大的咆哮，來回踉踉蹌蹌，大喊大叫，向四面八方噴出鮮血。亞瑟王注意到，鮮血落到哪里，大地就冒煙，仿佛在燃燒。

亞瑟對巨人的垂死掙扎感到敬畏，在此期間，他砍伐樹木，在土地上挖出大戰(zhàn)壕（這里是指巨人痛得亂抓，把樹推倒了）。但最后他靜靜地躺下了，（亞瑟）王走近檢查尸體。在那里，他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一件最奇幻和最可怕的事情。因?yàn)楫?dāng)他試圖取下墮落騎士的頭盔時(shí)，他發(fā)現(xiàn)它和身體是一體的，事實(shí)上，所有的東西，盔甲，頭盔，甚至他攜帶的武器，都是骨肉之軀。而且肉摸起來很燙，雖然開始變涼，但很硬，像蛇一樣干燥。

：這場景也太熟悉了，我懷疑《進(jìn)擊的巨人》也是沿用了這個(gè)設(shè)定，比如鎧之巨人的盔甲，戰(zhàn)錘巨人的戰(zhàn)錘也是血肉形成的（硬質(zhì)化），還有巨人的血是滾燙的，還有巨人死后血肉會(huì)冒煙等等。
