One by one he subdued his father's trees By riding them down over and over again Until he took the stiffness out of them - And not one but hung limp, not one was left for him to conquer.

他一株一株地征服他父亲的树,一次又一次地把它们骑在胯下,直到把树的倔强劲儿完全制服：,一株又一株都垂头丧气地低下来。

令人钦佩的是,他说,"不,如果不守我的原则我就是"--,好像他本来不是那么粗野,那么残酷一样--,"一个大胖瘸子"
