Chinese → English HAWBERK, ARMOURER. Level 7/10

霍伯克,盔甲匠。

HAWBERK, ARMOURER.

我朝门口瞥了一眼,看见霍伯克正在走廊尽头的小铺子里忙碌着。

I glanced in at the doorway and saw Hawberk busy in his little shop at the end of the hall.

他抬起头来,一眼瞧见了我,便用他那低沉而爽朗的声音喊道:"请进,卡斯坦先生!"

He looked up, and catching sight of me cried in his deep, hearty voice, "Come in, Mr. Castaigne!"

他的女儿康斯坦斯起身迎接我,当我跨过门槛时,她伸出她那双漂亮的手,

Constance, his daughter, rose to meet me as I crossed the threshold, and held out her pretty hand,

但我看到她脸颊上泛起了失望的红晕,知道她所期待的是另一个卡斯坦——我的表弟路易。

but I saw the blush of disappointment on her cheeks, and knew that it was another Castaigne she had expected, my cousin Louis.

我对她的窘态微微一笑,并称赞了她正在按照一幅彩色图版绣制的旗帜。

I smiled at her confusion and complimented her on the banner she was embroidering from a coloured plate.

老霍伯克坐在那里,用铆钉修补着某套古代盔甲上磨损的护腿,他那小锤子发出叮!叮!叮!的声音,在这古色古香的小铺里听来格外悦耳。

Old Hawberk sat riveting the worn greaves of some ancient suit of armour, and the ting! ting! ting! of his little hammer sounded pleasantly in the quaint shop.

不一会儿,他放下锤子,拿起一把小扳手摆弄了片刻。

Presently he dropped his hammer, and fussed about for a moment with a tiny wrench.

锁子甲轻柔的碰撞声令我心中涌起一阵愉悦。

The soft clash of the mail sent a thrill of pleasure through me.

我喜爱听那钢铁相互摩擦的乐音,木槌敲打大腿甲时发出的沉稳声响,以及链甲叮当作响的声音。

I loved to hear the music of steel brushing against steel, the mellow shock of the mallet on thigh pieces, and the jingle of chain armour.

这是我去拜访霍伯克的唯一原因。

That was the only reason I went to see Hawberk.

他本人从未令我感到兴趣,康斯坦斯也一样,除非是因为她爱上了路易这件事。

He had never interested me personally, nor did Constance, except for the fact of her being in love with Louis.

这件事确实占据了我的心思,有时甚至让我夜不能寐。

This did occupy my attention, and sometimes even kept me awake at night.
