As we start up with the boar hunting in chapter 16, again,
我们再次以第16章的猎猪开始
there is obviously something to be learned of here

Some of this is still more, kind of a slice of life, a look at the time
回首往事,有些比生活寓意更深
One of the things I think we see, boar hunting is described as fun and,
我从中看到猎猪被描述成娱乐
one of the things I get out of this is,
我也从中看到
that this is more like to gait the deer or rifle,
人们更可能获得鹿或步枪
this is more like, egalitarian planning
这可能是更人道主义的计划

and the boar has pretty good chance then you
猪就有了很好的机会
And you might get boar, but the boar might get you too
你可能捕获到猪,但猪也可能吃了你
And so, some people think it's fun, Wart's kinda excited,

Robin Hood's good at this Sir Ector
罗宾伍德与艾科特也擅长于此
But we have Pellinore,
但我们有伯林诺
and Pellinore is supposed to be this great questing guy
人们认为伯林诺是个伟大的探险者
who's have to bleep this, and what does he do?
他自己却做不到这点,那么他做了什么事呢
He hangs back with the villagers, you know
他与村民一起退缩
He's like totally, like, " oh danger!", you know, I'm outta here
他完全就是这样"噢,危险,我要离开这儿"
And that's where Kay is too
凯伊也是这样
So we see people kinda being true to how they have been depicted
因而我们看到对人的描绘多少还是有其真实性的
So we really have, sir Ector, Sir Gurmoy, Wart,
所以我们将艾科特,格莫伊,瓦特
Robin Hood and of course, the kings' huntsman
罗宾伍德,当然还有猎人
One group we have Pellinore and Kay, and this other group
分为一组,而伯林诺和凯伊则是另一组
And we just kinda keep asking, "well what's the deal with Kay?"

And evidently, this is why Boxing Day started, the first week day after Christmas
很明显这就是为什么节礼日开始于 圣诞节后的第一个工作日
