LORNA DOONE 洛娜·杜恩
The Doones are hated and feared all over Exmoor. When they ride out from Doone valley to steal and rob from the local farms, no one can stop them. They are wild, strong men, and anyone who tries to fight them will soon be murdered. Like John Ridd’s father, shot down while riding home from market. And in these lawless days only the King’s soldiers can punish the Doones, but the King is far away in London and has troubles of his own.
埃克斯莫尔的所有居民都对杜恩家族的人又恨又怕。当杜恩家族的人从杜恩山谷里骑马出来，在当地的农庄打家劫舍时，没人能阻挡他们。他们生性野蛮、体格强健，任何试图反抗他们的人很快便会招致杀身之祸。例如约翰·里德的父亲就是在骑马从集市回家的途中被他们所杀害。在那个没有法制的时代，只有国王的士兵们才能惩戒杜恩家族的人。但国王远在伦敦，而且他自己还有一身麻烦事。
As John grows up, he works hard on the farm and dreams of revenge for his father’s death. But one day he meets Lorna Doone. She is the girl of his dreams — gentle, beautiful, loving — and John loses his heart to her.
约翰渐渐长大了，他在农庄上辛勤劳作，梦想着能替父报仇。但有一天，他遇见了洛娜·杜恩。她正是他梦寐以求的女孩——温柔、美丽、可爱——约翰情不自禁爱上了她。
But how can he marry a girl from the hated Doone family? And then there is Carver Doone, the most evil and dangerous of all the Doones, who plans to marry Lorna himself…
可他怎么能娶仇人杜恩家的女孩呢？更何况还有个卡弗·杜恩——杜恩家族中最邪恶、最危险的人物——也在盘算着娶洛娜为妻……
