马夫

We had a great time chatting with the boss, while it was raining outside. About 2 hours later, I called a horse farm to confirm if we could ride horses today, despite the rain. The stableboy I spoke with said that there is no problem.

聊嘛，这其实也是我偶尔的强项，海阔天空，天南地北，人文史地，把能卖的都卖出来，呵呵，聊得尽兴，外面下起了雨，稀稀落落不肯停下来，打电话给马夫下雨天能不能骑马上苍山，回答是肯定的。

He told the stableman to give me some food and have me ready for four o'clock.

他让马夫给了我些吃的，吩咐他们4点钟备好我。

About half an hour later, we got to Laoyulin village, the home of our stableman.

这是我们雇佣的马夫的家，我们徒步所需要的马都得从这里租用。

I thought I was quick,'James told the old stableman,'but you're quicker than anyone.

"我以为我手快，"詹姆斯对老马夫说，可是你比谁都快。

I've heard of him,'said the stableman.'He's a good judge of horses, and the best rider in this part of the country.

"我听说过他，"马夫说，他是一个相马的行家，而且是这一带最好的骑手。

I read about that in the newspaper,'said the stableman.'A fine horse was killed too,wasn't it?

"我在报纸上看到这个消息了，"马夫说，一匹好马也死了，是吗？

What we needed to do was hiring a local Tibetan stableman with his horses.

而我们雇的马夫则是地地道道的康定藏族小伙子。

"The stableman says that Monsieur's horse is extremely fatigued."

"马夫来说先生的马很累了！"

Outside. The old stableman came in quietly and quickly and got one horse out,then another.

这时老马夫安静但迅速地走进来，带了一匹马出去，然后又带出去一匹。

The chief stableman was a pleasant old man, and he led me into a long stable with six or eight stalls in it,and two or three horses.

马夫长是个令人愉快的老人，他把我牵进了一个有六到八栏的长厩，里面有两三匹马。
