CHAPTER 3 How King Arthur Beat King Leodegrance's Enemies, and Revealed His Own Royalty The next morning, King Leodegrance watched helplessly as the Duke of North Umber arrived with his six promised knights and several heralds and esquires. A crowd gathered to watch the great battle. But it could hardly be a great battle,

第三章亚瑟王如何击败利奥德格伦斯国王的敌人，揭露自己的皇位第二天早上，利奥德格伦斯国王无助地看着北安伯公爵带着他承诺的六个骑士和几个传令官和侍从来到这里。 一群人聚集在一起观看这场伟大的战斗。 但这不是一场伟大的战斗

Leodegrance thought, when he had no knights to match up against the Duke of North Umber's men. He used to have knights in his court long ago, but since King Arthur had taken control, peace had settled upon the land and the knights had gone where they were needed. Watching her father, the Lady Guinevere urged him not to give up hope. Somehow, she just had a feeling… In the next moment, all watched as the mysterious White Knight came riding back into town. Behind him, incredibly, were the four famous knights—the Sirs Gawaine, Ewaine, Geraint and Pellias—that everyone already knew and recognized. "We are saved," Guinevere whispered. As if hearing her, King Arthur and the four knights all raised their handkerchiefs in a salute as they passed beneath her tower. "I did this mysterious White Knight the

利奥德格伦斯心想，因为他没有骑士来对抗北安伯公爵的手下。 很久以前，他的宫廷里有骑士，但自从亚瑟王掌权后，和平降临了这片土地，骑士们都去了需要他们的地方。 桂尼维尔夫人看着父亲，劝他不要放弃希望。 不知怎么的，她就是有一种感觉……下一刻，所有人都看着神秘的白衣骑士骑着马回到镇上。 令人难以置信的是，在他身后的是四位著名的骑士——高文爵士、伊文爵士、杰兰特爵士和佩利亚爵士——大家都知道并认识他们。 “我们得救了。”桂尼维尔低声说。 亚瑟王和四名骑士仿佛听到了她的话，从她的塔楼下走过时，他们都举起手帕行礼。 "我演了这个神秘的白骑士

honor of fighting him before without knowing his name or station," the Duke of North Umber said nervously. "However, this is a more serious battle. If he wants to fight me, he will identify himself!" "He is not only good enough to fight you," Sir Gawaine promised, "but trust me, it is he who does you the honor." The Duke of North Umber tried again. "Well," he said, "you are only five, no match for our seven. Yes, that's the reason I will not fight you!" "Please trust me," Gawaine said, "when I tell you that we five are an equal match for your seven." The Duke of Umber turned bright red with embarrassment. The fight began. And very quickly, the fight ended. Just as Gawaine had promised, King Arthur's five were more than an equal match for the Duke of North Umber's seven. Mordaunt was defeated and

在不知道他的名字和身份的情况下和他打过一仗。”北安伯公爵紧张地说。 “然而，这是一场更为严肃的战斗。 如果他想和我决斗，他就会表明自己的身份！”“他不仅能和你决斗，”高文爵士保证道，“而且相信我，他才是给你荣誉的人。” 北安伯公爵又试了一次。 “好吧，”他说，“你们只有五岁，比不上我们的七岁。 是的，这就是我不跟你打的原因！”“请相信我，”高文说，“我告诉你，我们五个人和你们七个人是一样的。” 安伯公爵窘得满脸通红。 打架开始了。很快，战斗结束了。 正如高文所承诺的那样，亚瑟王的五枪比北安伯公爵的七枪强多了。 莫当特被打败了

died in what would become one of the most famous battles in the history of King Arthur's court. The people of Cameliard cheered and celebrated their great victory. They wanted to fuss over the White Knight, but he had disappeared once more, leaving only the four knights for them to congratulate. The next morning, however, it appeared that they had all celebrated too soon. Far from surrendering, King Ryence was making more demands. Through a herald he had sent a message, King Ryence not only commanded King Leodegrance to surrender his lands, but he also demanded that Leodegrance deliver the White Knight who had killed Duke Mordaunt. King Leodegrance spoke with great pride. "Tell your king that I will not deliver to him so much as one blade of grass from my land. And I would not deliver the White Knight to

死于亚瑟王宫廷历史上最著名的战役之一。 卡梅利亚的人们欢呼庆祝他们的伟大胜利。 他们想为白衣骑士大惊小怪，但他又消失了，只剩下四个骑士让他们祝贺。 然而，第二天早上，他们似乎都庆祝得太早了。 赖恩斯国王非但没有投降，反而提出了更多要求。 通过传令官，赖恩斯国王不仅命令利奥格伦斯国王交出他的土地，还要求利奥格伦斯交出杀死莫当特公爵的白骑士。 利奥格伦斯国王非常自豪地说。 创3你要告诉你的王、我不将我地一根草也不给他。 我也不会把白骑士交给

him, even if I did know who he was!" The herald sighed. Obviously King Ryence had anticipated this response, for the next part of the message was that Ryence would soon be coming with a great army to take the things he wanted by force. King Leodegrance called for Guinevere. "The great White Champion has now saved us twice," he began. "People say this knight is your own particular champion and that he wore your necklace during battle. Is that true?" Guinevere blushed and nodded. "Pray tell, then, daughter. Where can we find him? We need his help again! And you are getting to the age where you need a husband, someone to defend our kingdom from its enemies!" "Father," Guinevere said, "I will lead you to the only man connected to all of this that I know." And with that, she led her father

即使我知道他是谁！”传令官叹了口气。 显然，赖恩斯国王已经预料到了这种反应，因为消息的下一部分是，赖恩斯很快就会率领一支大军来，用武力夺取他想要的东西。 利奥德格伦斯国王召见桂尼维尔。 “伟大的白色勇士已经救了我们两次，”他开始说。 “人们说这个骑士是你的护卫者，他在战斗中戴着你的项链。 这是真的吗？”吉娜薇脸红了，点了点头。 “那么，请告诉我吧，女儿。 我们在哪儿能找到他？我们再次需要他的帮助！你也到了需要丈夫的年纪了，需要一个能保卫我们王国抵御敌人的人！”“父亲，”吉娜薇说，“我将带你去见我所知道的唯一与这一切有关的人。” 就这样，她带领她的父亲

straight to the gardener-boy. "What is this, daughter?" King Leodegrance asked, as King Arthur's four great knights also gathered around. "Are you mocking me? Is this some kind of joke?" Guinevere asked the gardener-boy to remove his cap. Arthur did so and King Leodegrance immediately recognized him and called him by name. Guinevere, who hadn't before realized that the golden knight she had seen was King Arthur, kneeled down, horrified. Oh, to think of the ways she had spoken back to him and challenged him! Arthur, however, made her stand back up. He told her that he loved her and asked if she loved him too. (She did). He kissed her. (She kissed him back.) King Ryence brought the war he had promised, but was no match for King Arthur and his men. Very soon thereafter, Arthur and Guinevere made plans to be married.

直奔园丁男孩。 “这是什么，女儿？”利奥格伦斯国王问道，这时亚瑟王的四位伟大骑士也围了过来。 “你在嘲笑我吗？”这是在开玩笑吗？”桂尼维尔叫园丁男孩摘下帽子。 亚瑟王照做了，利奥格伦斯国王立刻认出了他，叫出了他的名字。 吉娜薇之前没有意识到她看到的金骑士就是亚瑟王，她惊恐地跪了下来。 啊，想想她是怎样反驳他和挑战他的吧！然而，阿瑟把她扶了起来。 他告诉她他爱她，并问她是否也爱他。 (她)。他吻了她。（她回吻他。）赖恩斯国王带来了他所承诺的战争，但他不是亚瑟王和他的人的对手。 此后不久，亚瑟和吉娜薇就计划结婚了。
