0:47:25 31 唐追問辛祖回鄉送信細節 換來大話連篇 不久遇上先前被毒打少年 唐在毫無保留下 被懇請不要再路見不平 
1:06:48 32 衆人回到當日下榻旅館 唐迅速入睡 衆人就唐騎士狂熱熱議 館主為收藏騎士書籍 對神父作出辯護 就衆人所求將内容讀出
1:20:41 33 神父讀出書本内容 故事主人翁是兩位年輕摯友A&L A為了測試新婚妻子M忠貞 不惜要摯友L展開追求 L不敵A哀求只好依計劃進行 結果與M發生關係
2:03:53 34 Anselmo Lothario Camila 三角關係進入白熱階段 充滿欺騙 悔恨 嫉妒 不甘 隨著故事發展 Anselmo亦即將為自己所作所為付出代價
2:45:42 35 三角故事 以三人生無可戀 鬱鬱而終作結 唐半夢半醒胡亂揮劍 以爲擊殺巨人 實際鬧出笑話 衆人哭笑不得
3:04:28 36 雖然悲劇收場 但作者將現實中的四角關係做個完美結局 令有情人終成眷屬 唐吉訶德亦將再次踏上新旅程
3:25:23 37 唐吉訶德晚宴時高談闊論 歌頌騎士精神 緣分際遇 提到年青人的貧苦磨練 新朋友Maria背景是穆斯林 一心要成爲天主教徒 不論外表與内心 均受在場衆人擁護
3:48:35 38 唐吉訶德晚宴繼續討論筆還是劍更重要 覺得士兵最艱苦 席後Don Fernando希望隨從分享入歐之旅 只見衆人誠意拳拳 隨從於是媚媚道來
3:57:52 39 隨從坦誠説出自己出身 從軍 於地中海一帶參與多次戰役 被提拔團長 亦曾被俘爲奴 一直不敢向家鄉老父求援 反擔心朋友安危
4:15:44 40 囚徒説出與瑪麗亞認識經過 以在囚之身 帶著瑪麗亞準備逃亡 離開女方父親及伊斯蘭國

5:23:44 42 機緣巧合下 囚徒重遇失散多年親生兄弟 二人喜極而泣 安頓翌日 衆人聽到旅館外曼妙歌聲 不禁好奇探聽
5:39:19 43 歌聲原來是對法官女兒示愛曲 女兒與少年相愛 卻礙於父親身份崇高 不敢提親 另一邊 旅館女兒和女僕對唐惡作劇 令唐雙臂舉起懸吊半空 痛苦萬分
6:00:15 44 受世俗價值觀束綁 執行官女兒Clara面對真愛裹足不前 另一邊旅館出現白食客 與館主糾纏一起 館主女兒向唐求救 唐卻信奉騎士信條諸多推搪 衆人忿忿不平之際 終於挺身而出之人 竟然是辛祖
6:17:52 45 眾男士扭打在一起 女士們大驚失色 唐終於按耐不住喝止衆人 然而聖兄弟會就先前放走船囚 要緝拿唐歸案 唐振振有詞 辯稱騎士隨時要自我犧牲 為國王奮勇作戰 故擁有特權

7:13:30 48 一方面 衆人繼續就文學水平 行内潛規則 讀者文學水平與國民知識水平 應否立法進行探討 另一邊 侍從兩人密談過後 辛勸説唐順應大自然呼喚 是時候脫身
7:29:17 49 牧師與被放出籠牢的唐 就遊俠信條進行辯論 牧師認爲唐應該改讀真實書籍例如歷史和聖經 直稱遊俠是無聊傳説 並非真實存在 唐振振有詞為遊俠真確性辯護
7:43:26 50 牧羊人出現 向走失羊羔説活 衆人覺得有趣 請求牧羊人說故事 辛祖不違言要到一旁進餐 唐准 牧師則要大家一起聽故事
7:57:00 51 牧羊人揭露悲慘過去 夢中情人被騙子偏財 落得身敗名裂 被父親送往修道院療情傷 牧羊人和Anselmo和衆多傾慕者只好流落山脈中 相濡以沫 互訴相思之情 無奈此刻夢中情人聽不見
8:08:31 52 唐作出故事第一部 最後一次衝刺 也是他向騎士精神再次致意 哪怕對方完全不是他想象的那回事 帶著疲乏傷痛的身體 也許是時候回家養傷了

Translated by John Ormsby

《讀你聽2.1》四月復活節呈獻
曠世長篇《唐吉訶德》第一部全集 上
描寫唐吉訶德自封騎士 沉迷遊俠浪漫
嘲諷十七世紀西班牙 騎士精神末落
反思當世迂腐 扭曲英雄主義
作者敘事手法超越時代 
翻譯超過五十種語言 堪稱經典

Preface + Chapter 1-28
0:00:20 Preface 前言
0:15:28 1 介紹故事主人翁唐吉訶德 本是一位其貌不揚 鄉村地主 沉迷騎士故事作品 不務農 不理家 繼而自願成爲遊俠 期望四海爲家 行俠仗義 然而在此之前 光是為其坐騎正名 情人正名 自身正名 已經花費不少時日 最吊詭恐怕是情人
0:27:33 2 唐來到小旅館前 將小店浪漫化成城堡 店主升格堡主 兩女侍變成貴族 一堆似是而非的客套開場白 令兩女哭笑不得 隨意給予厨餘讓唐充飢 無奈裝甲頭盔實在衣不稱身 妨礙飲食 女侍只好奉陪幫忙餵食 唐不忘騎士身份未被承認
0:40:54 3 唐爲了完成遊俠心願 懇求"堡主"賜封為騎士 衆人凑熱鬧 糊里糊塗進行"賜封典禮" 旁觀者一度就唐示愛宣言表示反感 甚至丟起石頭 不過唐並沒有氣餒 帶傷的他 反而更懇切請求完成冊封 言語上更將女侍稱呼升格
0:54:28 4 唐榮升騎士 路上遇見農夫毒打年輕僕人 出手制止 要求農夫賠償 唐見誠心悔改便揚長而去 可憐僕人再被主人毒打 不久唐在過路人前歌頌情人 要求衆人拜服自己情人石榴裙下 被衆人反唇相譏 唐盛怒下突襲不果 弄個人仰馬翻
1:08:33 5 唐被路人痛打 昏迷路邊 被家鄉農場工人發現 唐一番長篇大論 工人順從意思 面子要緊 等入夜攙扶唐入村 唐家中都是熟朋友 正與唐家人研究沉迷遊俠原因 安頓好唐之後 衆人似商議好“治療”對策 燒書
1:17:32 6 牧師和理髮師翻查唐書庫 準備燒書 管家想灑聖水了事 唐侄女則希望燒掉所有書 牧師收集意見 認爲先閲讀書名及内容 再決定分類焚燒不遲 經過對衆多作者一番點評 分類準則是留起稀有和特色寫作手法的作品 侄女立時反對
1:33:10 7 唐見書本不翼而飛 聽信家人推搪是巫師所爲 唐便以爲真有其事 利用餘下休息時間 説服鄰居辛祖作爲隨從一同上路 最後使出利誘 辛祖滿以爲有朝一日能成爲島主 唐見時機成熟 趁天未亮 瞞住衆人 二人快騎衝刺 遠離故鄉
1:43:55 8 唐帶著隨從辛祖來到曠野 面對著風車 稱是巨人 猛然乘著坐騎疾衝過去 長矛撞上風車帆 唐連人帶馬被甩飛落地 倖無大礙 唐聲稱是巫師所為 唐告誡辛不可就傷患和飢餓抱怨 不久在路遇上僧侶 車上載著女士和側近 唐一口咬定來者是巫師綁架公主 隨即向其突刺 僧侶落荒而逃 辛乘亂收割“戰利品” 唐要求女士向家鄉情人報到示好 女側近不從 與唐打鬥起來
2:00:54 9 作者鬼轉至搜集決鬥經過文獻 原來輾轉自阿拉伯翻譯文 需要請摩爾人進行翻譯 記錄者名爲 Cide Hamete Benengeli 所有關唐吉訶德事跡 均出自其手筆 （作者只作“翻譯”） 回到決鬥 劇力萬鈞 唐被狠狠削掉耳朵一角 而對方則墮馬收場 被唐壓制著 但見有隨行女性 只要求衆人到故鄉拜會自己情人 衆人唯諾答應
2:12:08 10 辛祖一方面擔心先前打鬥被法律問責 又關心戰利品例如土地會否如願獲得 唐稱獎賞只會遠勝於土地 而主持正義不會被緝拿 大可放心 辛提出唐耳朵受傷需要照顧 唐透露外敷藥有獨門秘方 辛隨即建議將配方製藥生財 遭唐拒絕 看著頭盔支離破碎 唐發誓報仇 然而辛勸説對方已承諾向情人‘效忠’ 無謂生事 唐只好作罷 找不到投身之所 二人餐風飲露 唐享受浪漫 辛意興闌珊
2:23:04 11 夜裏 騎從二人與一群牧羊者作客 飲飽食醉 唐興致勃勃發表宣言 提到過去世道安寧 社稷安泰 而騎士正是為了保衛百姓而存在 可惜牧羊人們均不知何以對 此時一位會音韻的牧羊者來到 為衆人表演一曲情歌 唐精神爲之一振 辛則欲告退作寢 牧羊者得知唐耳傷 主動提供療藥 稱外敷一日即愈合 藥到病除
2:35:54 12 牧羊者道出一個為愛殉情的故事 主人翁求愛不遂 繼而輕生 希望衆人依遺願埋葬 友人認爲初遇邂逅之處最理想 女方本是富農之女 不願盲婚啞嫁 入野成爲牧羊者 吸引四方八面傾慕者追求 然而求愛均被拒絕 衆人萬念俱灰 仍然深深不忿 不願離去 唐對女子美貌非常嚮往 願意見證殉愛者落葬 實際有意一睹女主角風采 辛祖完全無感 愛理不理
2:48:41 13 前往喪禮路上 唐遇上一位牧羊人Vivaldo 對於遊俠主義提出不少疑問 被唐反駁 至於唐情人Dulcinea出身成疑 唐亦不愠不火作出回應 哪怕連隨從辛祖亦不以爲然 其後Vivaldo從殉情者遺物索要部分詩詞 警世也好 追悼也罷 總好過免受火海摧殘 至於内容爲何 作者表示下回分解
3:08:44 14 悼文在哀悼聲中當衆讀出 不外乎讚美女事主Marcela美貌 拒絕追求之冷酷 及筆者殉愛後憤恨墮落幽冥 此時Marcela親自現身説法 嚴詞聲明 從來沒有給予仰慕者希望 美貌天注定 自己沒有選擇權 但她有權選擇獨身 字字鏗鏘 懇求追求者切莫執迷不悔 説罷轉身而去 衆人欲趕上 唐即走出辯護 阻擋所有追求者 任何冒犯即當場擊斃 唐自己倒跟上去 尋找Marcela
3:26:21 15 侍從二人野餐 辛祖深信主人愛騎脾性安分 放任隨處吃草 不料駿馬悄悄發情騷擾附近雌馬 而雌馬主人伊安瓜斯人隨即打退Rocinante 侍從二人不知就裏加入戰團 敵衆我寡 自然慘敗收場 傷痕纍纍 唐表示有醫藥可以解困 又說失手因爲對方並非騎士 勝之不武 這是觸犯遊俠禁忌 只好得到懲罰 辛祖不同意 一陣辯論過後 唐要求用驢子帶二人到附近地方下榻 眼見前方旅館 唐浪漫主義發作 堅持是一座城堡
3:42:13 16 辛祖為保主人顔面 對館主推搪唐傷勢乃跌傷 館主請妻女二人照顧傷勢 唐以爲舘主女兒對自己有意 晚上必來侍寢 實際上 女兒之駝背女僕有意與馬夫幽會 因眼盲 誤打誤撞躺入唐臥處 唐一廂情願情話綿綿 另一方 馬夫醋意大發 前來閙床 女僕逃遁到辛祖床上 四人扭打起來 管家被弄醒前來探看 捲入戰團 五人閙個不可開交 一位同於旅館下榻的警官前來控制混亂 只見唐傷臥在床 警官以爲命不久矣 出言要找出殺人凶手 衆人即鳥獸散 剩下禍不單行的侍從二人
3:58:49 17 昨夜一場大龍鳳 唐堅信是巫術所爲 警官前來了解情況 唐出言不遜 再次招來痛打 辛祖抱怨唐胡思亂想 唐表示有藥方能治百病 一番調合 唐用後嘔吐昏迷 醒後感覺良好 唐確認生出良藥 辛祖用後痛苦萬分 卻沒有嘔吐 唐辯稱此藥只對騎士有效 侍從二人離開旅館 館主前來要住費 唐說遊俠不用繳費 仗義便是報酬 館主不從 唐語帶侮辱匆忙離開 數名江湖人士 拿棉被抛起辛祖開玩笑 唐本欲去救 奈何身體太傷下不了馬 推搪說巫術太厲害 辛祖事後對欠交旅費感到自傲 實際上 館主搜出辛祖行裝補數 唯獨辛祖不覺 
4:16:40 18 唐瞥見一路雲塵 誤認兩軍對壘 辛祖解釋是羊群所致 唐不理 如數家珍 細數陣中各路人馬 正當辛祖嗟嘆主人中毒太深 唐一發衝進羊群 如入無人之境 擊斃羔羊數隻 牧羊人隨即群起扔石頭反抗 當場打掉唐數顆牙齒 辛祖安慰稱多半受巫術所惑 為止痛 唐再次大口服用自製傷藥 正當辛祖探頭替主人查看口腔傷勢 唐瘋狂嘔吐 辛祖中招 抵受不住氣味 二人相繼反胃嘔吐 狼狽不堪 辛祖發現行裝被不翼而飛 幾乎憤而出走 唐委婉請求辛祖帶路往旅館下榻
4:38:23 19 無處容身之際 侍從遇上白衣奔喪數人 唐再次遊俠信條發作 警告衆人要為過錯贖罪 奔喪者無意理會 唐徑自搶韁 繼而發動攻擊 衆人見狀一潰而散 唐不理奔喪者指責 堅持可疑人物該打 辛祖搜刮意外得來的“戰利品” 稱唐面容悔恨不已 可用“懺悔之顔”作爲別名稱呼
4:53:41 20 夜間 侍從聽到森林發出敲擊之聲 辛祖害怕 建議留待日間探索不遲 唐堅持要立即找出敵人擊斃 若三日不回 辛大可回鄉報告死訊 辛不願 暗中綁住唐坐騎 坐騎裹足不前 唐鬱悶中 辛稱會說故事解悶 然而即興内容非常糟糕 唐多番打斷 故事最終接不下去 辛水土不服 故弄玄虛掩飾 唐聞到異味 確信辛擔驚受怕 翌日 二人到河邊小屋探看 發現只是洗衣木棒傳出敲擊聲 侍從二人大笑 辛拿主人玩笑開過火 遭受唐兩下痛擊 交代過主從之禮 二人和好如初
5:21:36 21 侍從遇到一位騎驢理髮師 頭上頂著盆子遮雨 唐一口咬定盆子是神話頭盔 二話不説冲前將盆子搶過來 辛笑盆子並非頭盔 唐確信頭盔被無知者熔化 入村後會重製還原 辛又抱怨先前唐於旅館對自己袖手旁觀 唐回應說若果事情鬧大 必定出手相救 引用騎士故事 無限遐想 辛既愛錢更愛公主 懇請主子贏得國土分封予他
5:44:46 22 侍從遇上一行被押解上船做撐船奴的囚犯 看著衆人手頸被扣上鐵鐐 唐便逐一細聽衆人為奴苦衷 認為英明之主應該理解 撐船苦力工作環境之惡劣 何況衆人都沒有犯下重罪 强迫他人當苦工實在不該 要求押解人員當場釋放眾囚犯 對方當然不合作 唐即時發動攻勢 擊退守衛 事後 唐要求回復自由身的囚犯們 回鄉向唐的愛人誇許自己功德 衆人自然覺得不合理 逃脫犯最重要是潛逃 而不是聯群結隊回鄉探親 舉起石頭就扔向侍從二人 隨即二人被洗劫一空
6:07:14 23 為逃避官方追捕 侍從兩人逃到深山 辛祖小驢被逃犯偷走 失落之際 意外發現路邊行裝 内藏情書 衣物 錢財 唐被文字悲情打動 想要找出物主 説不定是路過衣衫不整之野外人 辛祖反對 恐怕錢財要物歸原主 此時遇上牧羊旅者
説出野外人性情乖張 原本是位禮貌有錢人 進入深山匿藏後性情大變 偶爾向牧羊人施以襲擊 衆人欲將此人拉入城診治 此人卻出現衆人眼前 驚奇地好比與唐相識 徑自相擁起來
6:30:41 24 山人被唐豪言打動 將身世和盤托出 條件是不能被打斷 山人本是城中望族 一心與青梅竹馬成婚 女方乃門當戶對貴族 不料被對方父輩婉拒 失望而回 收到公爵來信 要求充當其長子側近 山人無奈上任 不久與公爵次子交好 交心透露青梅竹馬事宜 後來次子為逃避情債 走到山人家中暫住 遇上青梅竹馬即驚爲天人 甚至提出婚事 正當故事提到女方閲讀騎士書籍 唐即時打斷 滔滔不絕分享想法 山人不甘説話被打斷 羞辱 二人先口角 繼而動武 連累辛祖和牧羊人遭殃
6:49:09 25 唐被山人悲情故事影響 擔心家鄉情人忠貞 便指派辛祖回鄉送情信 以表心跡 
7:24:01 26 趁著唐未完全陷入瘋狂 辛祖趕快上路送信 回到家鄉 發現信件不翼而飛 無奈之際 傳教士心生一計
7:40:28 27 牧師和理髮師受辛祖引領 尋找堂吉訶德 設計反串之法引唐入局 未想到路上碰上之前山谷野人 野人便將自己失心瘋前因後果和盤托出
8:17:14 28 衆人巧遇美女 Dorothea 赫然與 Fernando 有未婚之約 Cardenio 如何面對？唐何時出手排除萬難 令有情人終成眷屬？

Chapter 21, 22 Gateshead/Thornfield
00:22 Ch 21 Jane dreams of children, signaling trouble. She learns of her cousin John's death, which causes Mrs. Reed to have a stroke and ask for Jane. Jane returns to Gateshead, where she finds her resentment toward the Reeds has faded. She reconciles with her cousins Eliza and Georgiana, and learns of Mrs. Reed's jealousy over Jane's relationship with Mr. Reed. Jane discovers her uncle's letter, revealing that he wished to adopt her, but Mrs. Reed withheld it out of spite. Mrs. Reed dies at midnight.
49:06 Ch 22 Jane stays at Gateshead for a month, helping her cousins Georgiana and Eliza prepare for their departures. Eliza plans to enter a nunnery, while Georgiana marries a wealthy man. Mrs. Fairfax informs Jane that Rochester is in London, buying a new carriage for his upcoming marriage to Blanche. Jane returns to Thornfield, feeling uneasy but happy to see Rochester. Unexpectedly, Rochester is cheerful, and Jane notices no wedding preparations. They share a deeper connection, and Jane feels more in love with him than ever.

Chapter 19, 20 Thornfield
00:22 Ch 19 Jane meets a disguised Rochester posing as a gypsy, who reads her emotions and claims she is near happiness. He reveals he discouraged Blanche’s hopes by implying he lacks wealth. Jane informs him of Mason’s arrival, which distresses Rochester. Later, she hears him cheerfully leading Mason to his room.
21:36 Ch 20 Jane hears a chilling cry but Rochester dismisses it as a servant’s nightmare. Later, he asks for her help, leading her to the third floor where Mason lies wounded. Jane tends to him while Rochester fetches a surgeon. Mason, attacked by a mysterious woman, is given a special cordial before leaving. Later, Rochester tells Jane a hypothetical story of past mistakes and asks if marrying Blanche would bring redemption. Jane advises seeking God, not others, for solace. Rochester calls Blanche a "strapper" before rushing to the stables.
