[00:17.86]The Headless Horseman
[00:24.00]无头骑士
[00:32.42]The Dutchman let out a terrible scream
[00:34.94]as the horse leapt toward him at a full gallop 1.
[00:39.37]He took to his heels, running as fast as he could,
[00:43.13]making for the bridge since he knew that
[00:45.45]ghosts and evil spirits did not care to cross running water.
[00:50.29]He stumbled suddenly and fell,
[00:53.02]rolling off the road into a melting patch of snow.
[00:57.05]The headless rider thundered past him,
[01:00.09]and the man got a second look at the headless ghost.
[01:03.57]It was wearing a Hessian commander's uniform.
[01:07.35]The Dutchman waited a good hour
[01:09.20]after the ghost disappeared before crawling
[01:12.61]out of the bushes and making his way home.
[01:16.25]After fortifying 2 himself with schnapps,
[01:19.16]the Dutchman told his wife about the ghost.
[01:22.95]By noon of the next day,
[01:24.59]the story was all over Tarrytown.
[01:28.02]The good Dutch folk were divided in their opinions.
[01:31.86]Some thought that the ghost must be roaming the roads
[01:35.15]at night in search of its head.
[01:38.22]Others claimed that the Hessian soldier rose
[01:41.01]from the grave to lead the Hessian soldiers
[01:43.74]in a charge up nearby Chatterton Hill,
[01:47.23]not knowing that the hill had already been taken
[01:50.83]by the British.
[01:52.72]Whatever the reason,
[01:54.44]the Headless Horseman continues to roam the roads
[01:57.47]near Tarrytown on dark nights from that day to this.
