A. Translate the following passage Into Chinese. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet.

41.
In an otherwise peaceful countryside setting, a middle-aged Spaniard charges into battle. In his mind he’s the
last chivalrous (有骑士精神的)warrior attacking an army of giants. But those who watch him think he’s a
complete madman, as they witness him unsuccessfully attempt to fight a windmill with a lance. Yet by the end of

德》)sits near the top of almost every “greatest works of fiction” list ever created.
Don Quixote’s imagination often runs wild, and he sees reality very differently from other characters, which
creates many comic scenes. His servant is always left to make things right, and takes the punishment for his
master’s odd behaviour. Many of these roadside adventures are not really adventures at all but only happen inside
Don Quixote’s head.
