CHAPTER 3 How the Lady of the Lake Took Back Her Necklace from Sir Pellias The next day, true to his word in response to the Lady Ettard's taunts, Sir Gawaine challenged Sir Pellias to a fight and Pellias accepted. Everyone watched as the two great knights and former friends faced each other. The

Lady Ettard watched from a distance but, as Sir Pellias once again wore the magical necklace, she found herself wishing that he would win. The two men crashed together in the middle of the field. At first it seemed that Pellias had won. Sir Gawaine's spear broke and he was pushed forcefully off his horse, hitting the ground as though dead. But as Pellias rode off, he realized that he, too, had been injured. The tip of Gawaine's spear must have pierced his armor and broken off in his side, for he was in great pain and bleeding heavily. Parcenet and a dwarf happened to be riding through the forest at just that time and came upon the suffering Pellias. The dwarf knew of a holy hermit healer who might be able to help and they carefully brought Pellias to the hermit's home. They arrived too late, however, for Pellias was already in his final

埃塔德夫人从远处看着，但当佩利亚斯爵士再次戴上那条神奇的项链时，她发现自己希望他能赢。 那两个人在场地中央撞在了一起。 起初，似乎是佩利亚斯赢了。 高文爵士的长矛断了，他被强行从马上推了下来，摔在地上，像死了一样。 但当佩利亚斯骑马离开时，他意识到自己也受了伤。 高文的矛尖一定刺穿了他的盔甲，折断了他的肋部，因为他非常痛苦，血流不止。 就在那个时候，帕西内特和一个小矮人碰巧骑马穿过森林，遇到了正在受苦的佩利阿斯。 侏儒知道有一位神圣的隐士治疗师可能能帮上忙，于是他们小心翼翼地把佩利亚斯带到隐士的家里。 然而，他们来得太晚了，因为佩利亚斯已经进入决赛了

death swoon. "I am afraid nothing can be done," the hermit said. Just then, the door opened and a beautiful lady strode in. Dressed all in green, with arms covered with bracelets of emeralds and opals, she had an ivory face and her eyes were as sparkly and as black as her hair. The hermit knew immediately that she was no ordinary human. "Give me just a few minutes with this man," she begged. "I can help him. I promise not to use any bad magic." The hermit agreed. Once left alone with Pellias, Nymue first took her necklace from around his neck and put it back on her own. Next she pressed a magical stone to Pellias's wound and watched as the spearhead was pulled out. Upon the blood that quickly followed, Nymue pressed a square of magical cloth. Finally, she brought forth a small tube

死亡大跌。“恐怕没办法了，”隐士说。 正在这时，门开了，一位美丽的女士大步走了进来。 她一身绿衣，手臂上戴着绿宝石和蛋白石手镯，长着一张象牙色的脸，眼睛像头发一样乌黑发亮。 隐士立刻意识到她不是一个普通人。 “让我和这个男人呆几分钟，”她恳求道。 “我可以帮助他。我保证不使用任何邪恶的魔法。” 隐士同意了。和Pellias单独在一起后，Nymue先从Pellias脖子上取下项链，自己戴上。 接着，她把一块神奇的石头压在佩利亚斯的伤口上，看着矛头被拔出。 奈姆把一块正方形的魔法布压在迅速流出的鲜血上。 最后，她拿出了一根小管子

filled with a blue potion. Pouring a drop onto Pellias's dry lips, she watched as the wounded knight came back suddenly from the edge of death. There was no denying, however, that he had come back as someone different. "Am I dead?" Pellias asked her. "No," Nymue replied, "but you are no longer what you were. In order to save your life, I had to give you a potion that made you only half-man. You are now also half-fairy." Nymue now wore the magical necklace and as Sir Pellias gazed upon her he felt nothing but gratitude and love. In fact, as half-fairy, he felt better than he ever had. His body was as light as air and his soul was filled with joy. "Can I now come to live with you?" he asked. "Since you have saved my life, can I now give you that life forever?" Nymue whispered, "Since the first time I saw you, that is all I have ever wanted."

装满了蓝色药剂。 她往佩利亚斯干燥的嘴唇上倒了一滴，看着受伤的骑士突然从死亡边缘回来。 然而，不可否认的是，他已经变了一个人。 “我死了吗？”佩利亚斯问她。 “不，”尼姆回答，“但你不再是以前的你了。 为了救你的命，我不得不给你一种药剂，让你变成半个人。 你现在也是半个仙女了。” 尼姆现在戴上了那条神奇的项链，佩利亚斯爵士凝视着她，心中只有感激和爱。 事实上，作为半个仙女，他感觉比以往任何时候都好。 他的身体像空气一样轻盈，他的灵魂充满了欢乐。 “我现在可以和你住在一起吗？”他问。 “既然你救了我的命，我现在能让你永远活下去吗？”尼莫低声说：“自从我第一次见到你，这就是我唯一想要的。”

The two sealed their new love with a kiss. Meanwhile, Parcenet and the dwarf, unaware of Pellias's recovery, had made their way back to Grantmesnle with news of his coming death. Sir Gawaine, still weak from his fall, was beside himself with guilt. "First I betrayed him," he said, "and now I will be responsible for his death. I must go and seek his forgiveness!" Gawaine stopped first at the hermit's home and then continued on in the direction the hermit told him Pellias and Nymue had gone. He was happy to learn that Nymue had healed his friend, but he still needed to find him and make things right. Gawaine rode until the forest began to grow quite dark. Suddenly, there appeared a pale blue light, seemingly for Gawaine to follow. In that light, which shone brighter and clearer than the moon, Gawaine was able to see every petal of every tall flower that

两人以一个吻来结束他们的新恋情。 与此同时，Parcenet和侏儒并不知道Pellias已经康复，他们带着Pellias即将死亡的消息回到了Grantmesnle。 高文爵士摔了一跤，身体仍然很虚弱，他感到内疚。 “我先是背叛了他，”他说，“现在我要为他的死负责。 我必须去请求他的原谅！”高文先在隐士的家里停了下来，然后继续朝隐士告诉他的佩利亚斯和奈姆去的方向走去。 他很高兴得知尼姆治愈了他的朋友，但他仍然需要找到他，把事情纠正过来。 高文骑着马，直到森林开始变得很黑。 突然，出现了一道淡蓝色的光，似乎是为了让高文跟着。 在那比月亮更明亮、更清晰的光线下，高文能够看到每一朵高大的花的每一片花瓣

surrounded him. Arriving finally at a beautiful blue lake, Gawaine realized that he must be in the land of the fairy. Suddenly, he saw Nymue and something that looked like a spirit come out of the lake. Realizing that the spirit was Pellias, Gawaine happily rushed forward to hug him, but Sir Pellias stopped him gently. Pellias explained to Sir Gawaine that he was now only half-human. He told Gawaine that he loved and forgave him, but that his life would now be something else, something lived with Nymue. "But where will you go?" Sir Gawaine asked. "I will be there," Sir Pellias said, pointing to the lake, where Sir Gawaine saw only water, but where Pellias promised there was a wonderful city of gold and blue and fields full of flowers. Sir Gawaine looked into the face of Sir

包围了他。高文终于来到了一个美丽的蓝色湖泊，他意识到他一定是在仙女的土地上。 突然，他看见尼姆和一个看起来像幽灵的东西从湖里出来。 高文意识到幽灵是佩利亚斯，高兴地冲上前拥抱他，但佩利亚斯爵士轻轻地阻止了他。 佩利亚斯向高文爵士解释说，他现在只是半个人类了。 他告诉高文，他爱他，原谅他，但他现在的生活将是另一种东西，一种与尼姆一起生活的东西。 “可是你要去哪儿呢？”高文爵士问。 “我会去的，”佩利亚斯爵士指着湖面说。高文爵士在湖面上只看到了水，但佩利亚斯承诺那里有一座金色和蓝色的奇妙城市，田野里开满了鲜花。 高文爵士看着爵士的脸
