你好，我的主人明天要參加比武。

It's gonna take me forever shame because I heard a really good story last night.

這將使我永遠感到羞愧，因為我昨天晚上聽到了一個非常好的故事。

Dow, I'll tell you anyway, this is a story about what happened when the devil went on holiday.

道，我還是要告訴你，這是個關於魔鬼去度假時發生的故事。

The devil was bored in hell and he decided that he was going to have a holiday go up to the surface and see what mischief he could make.

魔鬼在地獄裡很無聊，他決定放個假到地面上去，看看能做什麼惡作劇。

So he started walking as he was walking along, he caught sight of his reflection in a puddle.

於是他開始走，當他走著走著，他在一個水坑裡看到了自己的倒影。

Now the devil strikes quite a distinctive figure, what with his horns, his Redskin, his black hair and of course his goat legs ending in a couple of little cloven hooves and his tail.

現在，魔鬼的形象相當獨特，他的角，他的紅皮，他的黑髮，當然還有他的山羊腿，最後是幾個小蹄子和他的尾巴。

I think I might be recognized, said the devil, I'm gonna need some sort of disguise as he got close to a town.

我想我可能會被認出來，魔鬼說，我需要某種偽裝，因為他接近了一個城鎮。

He glanced ahead and he saw a pair of scissors hanging up outside the house.

他瞥了一眼前方，他看到屋外掛著一把剪刀。

He knew that that meant that that was the taylors.

他知道那意味著那是泰勒夫婦。

So he went along and he knocked on the door.

Sure enough, the taylor came to the door.

I want a cloak that reaches all the way down to the ground and then a hood that goes right over my head.

我想要一件一直延伸到地面的斗篷，然後是一個直接蓋在我頭上的頭罩。

Hang on a second, said the tailor Holmes, Red skin, Black shaggy hair, goats legs, cloven hooves and a tail.

等一下，福爾摩斯裁縫說，紅皮膚，黑長毛，山羊腿，蹄子和尾巴。

I know you you're the devil am I helping you?

我知道你你是魔鬼，我是在幫你嗎？

The devil reached behind his back produced a great big leather bag.

魔鬼伸手在背後拿出一個巨大的皮包。

He opened the bag so the tailor could see inside the glint and gleam of hundreds of gold coins, if you make me a close as I've asked you said the Devil, I will give you this bag, huh?

他打開袋子，讓裁縫看到裡面閃閃發光的幾百個金幣，如果你按照我的要求給我做一個近似的東西，你說魔鬼，我就把這個袋子給你，呵呵。

Well, the tailor thought about it with all that gold.

好吧，裁縫想了想，有那麼多黃金。

He could buy a lot of cloth, he could make his fortune.

他可以買很多的布，他可以發財。

All right, said the tailor to the devil, coming before anyone sees you.

好吧，裁縫對魔鬼說，在別人看到你之前來。

And with that the devil walked into the tailor's shop.

The devil did the bag of gold up and set it down on the taylors counter.

魔鬼把那袋金子做起來，放在泰勒的櫃檯上。

The tailor went and got his measuring stick, his scissors, his needle and thread, and a very fine bolt of black cloth that didn't take the taylor long before he had fashioned a very, very fine cloak for the devil.

裁縫去拿了他的量具、剪刀、針和線，還有一匹非常好的黑布，沒過多久，裁縫就為魔鬼做了一件非常非常好的斗篷。

Then we tried it on, wrapped it around himself.

然後我們試穿了它，把它裹在自己身上。

This will do very nicely, said the Devil, thank you very much, Master tailor.

這將非常好，魔鬼說，非常感謝你，裁縫大師。

And he went, potato wasn't even listening.

He'd gone to the counter and he was opening up the bag of gold when he opened it and looked inside.

他已經走到櫃檯前，他正在打開那袋金子，當他打開袋子，看了看裡面。

He had tried to make a bargain with the devil, and you cannot bargain with the devil.

他曾試圖與魔鬼討價還價，而你不能與魔鬼討價還價。

In the meantime had tricked his way into a fine new cloak.

在這期間，他騙得了一件精美的新斗篷。

But by now he'd been walking for quite a while and he was feeling hungry and thirsty.

但現在他已經走了很長時間，他感到又餓又渴。

So when he looked ahead and saw the sign for an end, he thought to himself, I'll pop in there and get myself a bite to eat.

是以，當他往前看，看到一個盡頭的標誌時，他心想，我將在那裡突然出現，給自己找點吃的。

有一些東西可以潤色我的哨子。

He went to the door of the end and he knocked.

他走到盡頭的門前，他敲了敲門。

The innkeeper came to the door and greeted him.

旅館老闆來到門口，向他打招呼。

He said, I've not seen you around these parts before, no, said the Devil, I'm just passing through, mm hmm.

他說，我以前沒有在這些地方見過你，沒有，魔鬼說，我只是路過，嗯嗯。

Come in, sir, sit yourself down by the fire.

進來吧，先生，請在火邊坐下。

讓我把你的斗篷從你身上拿走。

And with that the devil handed over his cloak.

就這樣，魔鬼交出了他的斗篷。

Of course, as soon as he did, you can't keep a looked at him.

當然，只要他做了，你就不能一直看著他。

Red skin, goat legs ending in a couple of cloven hooves, mm hmm.

紅色的皮膚，山羊的腿以幾個蹄子結束，mm hmm。

And he reached behind his back and produced a great leather bag which he opened, so that the innkeeper could see the glint in the gleam of hundreds of gold coins.

他把手伸到背後，拿出一個大皮包，打開後，旅店老闆可以看到數百枚金幣的閃光。

Said the innkeeper, go and sit down over there by the fire and keep yourself quiet, The devil put the bag down on the counter.

旅店老闆說，去那邊的火堆旁坐下來，讓自己保持安靜。

The innkeeper went behind and found a pie and then poured a cup of ale which he gave to the devil.

旅店老闆走到後面，找到一個餡餅，然後倒了一杯麥酒，他把它給了魔鬼。

The devil through both the pie and the ale down his throat.

惡魔把餡餅和麥酒都灌進了他的喉嚨。

In an instant he stood up, took up his cloak, wrapped himself.

瞬間，他站了起來，拿起斗篷，包裹住自己。

Thank you very much, Master Innkeeper, he said I should be on my way.

非常感謝你，旅館老闆，他說我應該上路了。

See you soon, said the devil when he was on his way.

惡魔上路時說，很快就會見到你。

Of course the innkeeper wasn't even listening.

He'd already gone to the counter to open the bag of gold, but when he opened the bag, what did he find?

他已經走到櫃檯前打開了那袋金子，但當他打開袋子時，他發現了什麼？

The innkeeper had tried to make the devil's bargain, and you cannot bargain with the devil!

旅館老闆曾試圖與魔鬼討價還價，而你不能與魔鬼討價還價！"。

Now, with a fine cloak and feeling refreshed, the devil was up for more mischief, but it had been quite a long walk from hell!

現在，帶著一件精美的斗篷，感覺神清氣爽，魔鬼又開始了更多的惡作劇，但從地獄走來的路還真夠長的！這時，他又開始了新的嘗試。

What I need is I need a pair of shoes, a pair of dainty little horseshoes for my little cloven hooves!

我需要的是我需要一雙鞋，一雙精緻的小馬蹄鐵，給我的小蹄子穿上!

It was the sound of a hammer being struck against an anvil, because that would let him know where the blacksmith was.

那是錘子敲打鐵砧的聲音，因為那會讓他知道鐵匠在哪裡。

And sure enough he heard the sound of a hammer being rhythmically brought down on a piece of metal was being hammered into shape on an anvil.

果然，他聽到了錘子有節奏地落在一塊金屬上的聲音，這塊金屬正在砧板上被敲打成形狀。

When he got there he knocked on the door, the door opened.

當他到達那裡時，他敲了敲門，門開了。
