St. George By Nancy Senior——從English text book上面找到的一首詩

St. George
By Nancy Senior
My dragon always loved walks
He used to go to the wall
where the golden chain hung
and take it in his mouth
laying his head on my lap
sideways, so the fire wouldn't burn my skirt

He looked so funny that way
with his wings dragging the floor
and his rear end high up
because he couldn't bend his hind legs

With him on the leash, I could go anywhere
No band of robbers dared attack

This morning in the woods
we had stopped for a drink
where a spring gushes out of a cave

when suddenly, a man in armour
riding a white horse
leapt out of the bushes
crying "Have no fear
I will save you"

And before I could say a word
he had stabbed my dragon in the throat
and leaping down from the horse
cut off his head
and held it up for me to see
the poor eyes still surprised
and mine filling with tears
He hadn't even had time to put out his claws
And the man said
"Don't cry, Maiden
You are safe now
But let me give some good advice

Don't ever walk alone in the woods
for the next time you meet a dragon
there might not be a knight around to save you"

Dragons must be aware
there are dangers everywhere
sharpen your claws and teeth
when who dare attack
let him pay with his own blood

贊！！這是影子自己寫的嗎:supr:

shiningdracon · 2010-04-14 16:31:06

有感而發，即興寫的:d)

欺負我英語不好~~~~你們~~~:P

shiningdracon · 2010-04-16 00:05:22

本來想翻譯來着，怎奈太傷感了，寫不下去:xD:

月影之翼 · 2010-04-16 21:24:19

其實不是傷感吧....我看完的第一反應就是上去踩死那個騎白馬的混蛋.....:anger:

shiningdracon · 2010-04-18 02:50:16

差不多
總之就是，不爽，翻譯不下去

(For that dragon)
I see my wounds bleed,
I cannot stand on my feet.
But there is one thing I can seek:
A friend in need is a friend indeed.

月影之翼 · 2010-04-21 20:07:29

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

這句話總感覺在哪裏見過...

貌似太大了....算了我發連結吧.....

真不給龍面子，在形象上已經雷到我了；那個騎白馬的生物我也強烈鄙視。
畫面夠典型的，讓我想到了《教徒救公主》。

深藍の龍

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
這句話總感覺在哪裏見過...

很經典的名言：患難見真情。

所以直接認爲聖經故事的龍和我們主要討論的龍是不同的生物。

Hatikva · 2010-04-24 17:41:17

聖經上說的那個東西本名叫Tanniy，和歐洲的Dragon以及世界上其他任何地方的龍毫無關係。
實際上Tanniy的真身是這種動物：

Slain-Dracon · 2010-04-24 18:09:34

和巡音是同類:xD:

Hatikva · 2010-04-25 16:41:53

不，這個其實是你當年遇到的大王烏賊:dD。

龙仔 · 2010-04-25 21:14:53

對那位"白馬王子"教育一下：
A knight is sworn to valor,
his heart knows only virtue,
his blade defends the helpless,
his might upholds the weak,
his word speaks only truth,
his wrath undoes the wicked.

Slain-Dracon · 2010-04-26 09:35:59

我採納了《不情願的龍》的設定，聖喬治晚年已經對屠龍毫無興趣，別人說看到龍他都說那是迷信。當他從小孩主角那裏聽説一條討厭戰鬥的，喜歡吟詩作對的龍時決意拜訪，並且做了好碰友。

雖然挖墳什麼的……但是看完濕了……淚點又低了……
或許倒數第二段是傷感，最後一段會有一點點委屈？[好吧委屈占了一半]還有就是前面幾段和結尾的反差太大……還有視角……如果是龍的視角可能催淚效果還沒那麼好……作者你贏了QAQ

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

重讀一遍
龍仔寫的真押韻
