（单词翻译）

It was early morning when at last he reached the forest, and he could hear all about him the notes of singing birds,

最终，罗宾汉在早晨抵达森林，他听到四周都是唱歌的小鸟，

great and small. It seems long since I was here, he said to himself. It would give me great joy if I could bring down a deer once more.

有大的，有小的，他对自己说好似过了很久，如果我可以再猎杀一头鹿，那将带给我无限的喜悦。

So he shot a deer, blew his horn, and all the outlaws¹ of the forest came flocking round him. Welcome, our dear master,

他射杀了一头鹿，吹了号角，所有的森林逃犯簇拥在他的周围，欢迎，我亲爱的主人，

back to the greenwood tree, they cried; and they fell on their knees before him in delight.

欢迎你回到森林，他们叫嚷着，他们高兴地跪在他的面前。

Nothing that the King could say would tempt² Robin³ Hood⁴ back again, and he dwelt in the greenwood for two and twenty years.

国王说什么都无法都不会再让罗宾汉回去了，他在森林中生活了22年的时间。

And he was ever a faithful friend, kind to the poor, and gentle to all women.

他一直是忠诚的朋友，对穷人友善，对女性友好。
