放生故事之十: 猿猴的哭泣
10. 猿猴的哭泣
the crying ape
很久以前的一個晚春,一隊?wèi)?zhàn)車轟隆隆地在平原上疾馳而過。戰(zhàn)士們穿著閃亮的盔甲,旌旗在風(fēng)中飄揚。
long, long ago, a file of chariots rumbled quickly across the plain late one spring. the soldiers wore sparkling armor. banners fluttered in the breeze.
車隊后面跟著幾個持劍和矛的將軍。他們身后是一輛漂亮的戰(zhàn)車。坐在車上的是偉大的楚國國君。
following them came several generals with their swords and spears. they were followed by a beautiful chariot. sitting in the chariot was the great king of chu.
每年國王都要啟程視察他的國土,打打獵或訓(xùn)練他的軍隊,以躲避他乏味的宮廷生活。
every year the king took a trip through his kingdom to inspect his land, to hunt, to train his troops, and to get out of his stuffy old palace.
