微博不能用了于是读书笔记丢这里
黄素封老师的中译版看到第五卷，问题是太久没看，回顾一下前情提要发现全忘了orz……于是对照小珊瑚给的英文版重新看起
黄素封老师的翻译太有趣啦！大王大王地喊好像山贼！好期待看到后面大战三百回合又亲了一百回嘴哟wwwww
原本买了实体书觉得看起来可能方便点的，没想到买的时候没看清，是本简缩版。后面附着的人物索引倒是很清楚也很有用，关键是一看到莫高斯变成亚瑟的阿姨高文成了表兄弟，就没胆子就着用了啊！再翻了一下马萝莉的人家马萝莉说的是姐姐啊！Keith Baines先生你缩写的到底是不是马萝莉啊！！！
于是老老实实看起马萝莉orz

Sir, said Merlin, I know all your heart every deal; so ye will be sworn unto me as ye be a true king anointed, to fulfil my desire, ye shall have your desire. Then the king was sworn upon the Four Evangelists. Sir, said Merlin, this is my desire: the first night that ye shall lie by Igraine ye shall get a child on her, and when that is born, that it shall be delivered to me for to nourish there as I will have it; for it shall be your worship, and the child’s avail, as mickle as the child is worth. I will well, said the king, as thou wilt have it.
（哦哦哦哦首先的my heart's desire就是first born child什么的TvT……不知为什么就是好喜欢这段！就是好喜欢！）


And when matins and the first mass was done, there was seen in the churchyard, against the high altar, a great stone four square, like unto a marble stone; and in midst thereof was like an anvil of steel a foot on high, and therein stuck a fair sword naked by the point, and letters there were written in gold about the sword that said thus:— Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil, is rightwise king born of all England.
He is not here, said the Archbishop, that shall achieve the sword, but doubt not God will make him known.
（astolat小姐的That Shall Achieve the Sword！文末引用的这句话真是让我死了又死TOT！太棒了呜呜呜astolat小姐太棒了！）

Now, said Sir Ector to Arthur, I understand ye must be king of this land. Wherefore I, said Arthur, and for what cause? Sir, said Ector, for God will have it so; for there should never man have drawn out this sword, but he that shall be rightwise king of this land.Well, said Merlin, I know whom thou seekest, for thou seekest Merlin; therefore seek no farther, for I am he; and if King Uther will well reward me, and be sworn unto me to fulfil my desire, that shall be his honour and profit more than mine; for I shall cause him to have all his desire.
再看一遍马萝莉突然也对BBC的拔剑剧情想通了……原本觉得BBC版里与其说rightful king还不如说只是梅林选择的国王，再想了一下马萝莉版其实也差不多。马萝莉版里梅林先问了乌瑟要不要让亚瑟即位，乌瑟说要之后梅林就跟坎特伯雷大主教商量搞了把剑，说到底也还是梅林的选择。两者的区别只是，马萝莉版里梅林选择亚瑟一是因为出身二是因为亚瑟从小就是他培养的（如果参照永恒之王设定的话），他知道亚瑟能成为一位好国王；而BBC版里梅林选择亚瑟是因为他在亚瑟身边，通过慢慢的接触和了解相信亚瑟能成为好国王……后者更加personal一点吧？
总结下来两个版本怎么都是梅林开挂play god了吗（被揍


And at the feast of Pentecost all manner of men assayed to pull at the sword that would assay; but none might prevail but Arthur, and pulled it out afore all the lords and commons that were there, wherefore all the commons cried at once, We will have Arthur unto our king, we will put him no more in delay, for we all see that it is God’s will that he shall be our king, and who that holdeth against it, we will slay him.
（果然是平民的国王吗XDD，commosr对他多好XD）

So Merlin went unto King Arthur, and told him how he had done, and bade him fear not, but come out boldly and speak with them, and spare them not, but answer them as their king and chieftain; for ye shall overcome them all, whether they will or nill.
超帅气TOT！

Then King Lot brake out on the back side, and the King with the Hundred Knights, and King Carados, and set on Arthur fiercely behind him. With that Sir Arthur turned with his knights, and smote behind and before, and ever Sir Arthur was in the foremost press till his horse was slain underneath him. And therewith King Lot smote down King Arthur. With that his four knights received him and set him on horseback. Then he drew his sword Excalibur, but it was so bright in his enemies’ eyes, that it gave light like thirty torches. And therewith he put them aback, and slew much people. And then the commons of Carlion arose with clubs and staves and slew many knights; but all the kings held them together with their knights that were left alive, and so fled and departed. And Merlin came unto Arthur, and counselled him to follow them no further.

黄素封老师的卡文英原来就是Gawaine（爆

And Merlin was so disguised that King Arthur knew him not, for he was all befurred in black sheep-skins, and a great pair of boots, and a bow and arrows, in a russet gown, and brought wild geese in his hand, and it was on the morn after Candlemas day; but King Arthur knew him not. Sir, said Merlin unto the king, will ye give me a gift? Wherefore, said King Arthur, should I give thee a gift, churl? Sir, said Merlin, ye were better to give me a gift that is not in your hand than to lose great riches, for here in the same place where the great battle was, is great treasure hid in the earth. Who told thee so, churl? said Arthur. Merlin told me so, said he. Then Ulfius and Brastias knew him well enough, and smiled. Sir, said these two knights, it is Merlin that so speaketh unto you. Then King Arthur was greatly abashed, and had marvel of Merlin, and so had King Ban and King Bors, and so they had great disport at him.
这段也笑死我了，到底有多迟钝啊亚瑟！人家两个国王都已经认出梅林来了啊XDDDD

And King Arthur set his love greatly upon her[Lionors], and so did she upon him, and the king had ado with her, and gat on her a child: his name was Borre, that was after a good knight, and of the Table Round.
哦哦亚瑟的第一个私生子……我老忘了这孩子orz，光记得Mordred了

Thus was the dream of Arthur: Him thought there was come into this land griffins and serpents, and him thought they burnt and slew all the people in the land, and then him thought he fought with them, and they did him passing great harm, and wounded him full sore, but at the last he slew them.
这难道就是第一季里王子大战狮鹫的出处吗……

Right so came by him Merlin like a child of fourteen year of age, and saluted the king, and asked him why he was so pensive. I may well be pensive, said the king, for I have seen the marvellest sight that ever I saw. That know I well, said Merlin, as well as thyself, and of all thy thoughts, but thou art but a fool to take thought, for it will not amend thee. Also I know what thou art, and who was thy father, and of whom thou wert begotten; King Uther Pendragon was thy father, and begat thee on Igraine. That is false, said King Arthur, how shouldest thou know it, for thou art not so old of years to know my father? Yes, said Merlin, I know it better than ye or any man living. I will not believe thee, said Arthur, and was wroth with the child. So departed Merlin, and came again in the likeness of an old man of fourscore year of age, whereof the king was right glad, for he seemed to be right wise.
逗你玩儿wwww，第一遍看就笑得打滚www


And so Arthur rode a soft pace till it was day, and then was he ware of three churls chasing Merlin, and would have slain him. Then the king rode unto them, and bade them: Flee, churls! then were they afeard when they saw a knight, and fled. O Merlin, said Arthur, here hadst thou been slain for all thy crafts had I not been. Nay, said Merlin, not so, for I could save myself an I would; and thou art more near thy death than I am, for thou goest to the deathward, an God be not thy friend.
这才第一部就要插多少的死亡flag啦……TvT

Then Sir Arthur looked on the sword, and liked it passing well. Whether liketh you better, said Merlin, the sword or the scabbard? Me liketh better the sword, said Arthur. Ye are more unwise, said Merlin, for the scabbard is worth ten of the swords, for whiles ye have the scabbard upon you, ye shall never lose no blood, be ye never so sore wounded; therefore keep well the scabbard always with you.
