In the time of Robert Bruce, 在罗伯特·布鲁斯那个年代，
there was a Scottish fighter named Douglas. 有个叫道格拉斯的苏格兰战士。
People called him the Black Douglas. 大家都叫他“黑道格拉斯”。
The English were terrified of him. 英格兰人对他怕得要命。

On the wall, a soldier's wife was holding her baby. 城墙上，有个士兵的妻子正抱着她的小宝宝。
She noticed dark shapes moving in the field below. 她注意到城堡下面的田野里有些黑影在晃动。
"Just the farmer's cows," said the guard. “不过是农夫家的牛罢了，”守卫说道。
So she sat down and sang softly to her child. 于是她坐了下来，轻声给孩子唱起歌。
"Hush, little baby, don't you fret. “嘘，小宝贝，别哭闹。
The Black Douglas won't get you yet." 黑道格拉斯现在抓不走你。”
"Don't be so sure about that," said a deep voice behind her. “那可说不准，”她身后传来一个低沉的声音。
She turned around. 她猛一回头。
