Chapter 5 The storm
第5章 暴风雨
One day in the autumn my master had to go to a distant town on business.
秋天的一天,主人因生意上的事得到远处的镇子上去一趟。
John harnessed me to the carriage and the three of us went off.
约翰给我套上车,我们三个就上路了。
There had been a lot of rain, and the wind was very strong.
雨下得很大,风也非常强劲。
When we came to the river,the wa-ter was so high it nearly reached the wooden bridge,and many of the fields were under water.
当我们来到河边时,水已经快涨上了木桥,大片的田野都被水淹了。
In one low part of the road the water was half-way up to my knees.
在路上地势低洼的地方,水几乎没过了我的膝盖。
We got to the town and the masters business took a long time.
我们到了镇上,主人办事用了好长时间。
It was late in the afternoon when we started back for home.
当我们往回赶时,已是快晚上了。
The wind was much stronger,and as we drove through a wood,I heard my master say,Ive never been out in a storm as bad as this,John.
风更紧了,当我们穿过一片树林时,我听见主人说:我还没在这么大的暴风雨中外出过,约翰。
Indeed,I thought so too, hearing the terrible noise of that wild wind in the trees.
的确,我也这么想呢,狂风在树林间发出那么可怕的呼啸。
关于《黑骏马》
他先是被卖给善待马的戈登老爷当坐骑;后来又被卖给了W伯爵,那可恶的勒马缰绳成为他最讨厌的东西,也是所有马儿的不幸。
