Chapter Seven: The Avengers
In the evening, the magistrate and his friends are in the tavern.
They are laughing about the old friar.
"Why are you laughing?" asks a mysterious voice.
They look at the door of the tavern and see Zorro.
He has a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other.
"Magistrate! I am here to punish you," says Zorro. "Old Friar Felipe is not a thief and you know it."
"I am an important magistrate. I don't like friars because they are your friends,Zorro."
Zorro gives a whip to the magistrate's friend and says, "Now whip this corrupt magistrate 15 times."
"But I cannot do this," says the friend.
"Whip him or I whip you!" says Zorro.
The friend whips the magistrate.
After the punishment, the magistrate falls to the ground.
"This is how I punish dishonest people," says Zorro.
The next day everyone talks about the magistrate's punishment.
A group of young men want to help Captain Ramon arrest Zorro.
They look for him in the hills and in the valleys.
In the evening, they go to the Vega hacienda.
When Don Alejandro sees them, he says, "Why are you all here?"
"We are looking for Zorro. We want to capture the bandit and get the reward. "
At 9 p.m., Don Diego says, "Please excuse me. I am tired and I am going to bed."
"Look,Diego, these young men are not tired. It's only 9 p.m. You are young but you are always tired," says Don Alejandro.
"Yes,father, you are right. Good night, everyone!"
The others eat, drink and sing.
At midnight, a masked man appears at the door.
"Look,it is Zorro!" says one of the young men.
"Zorro,the bandit," they all say.
"Yes,I am Zorro, but I am not a bandit. I have principles and I fight for them. In California,we have corrupt political men, cruel magistrates and dishonest people. I want to change this. I fight to help the poor, the natives and the friars. What are your principles?"
"We want to help the poor, the natives and the friars too," says one young man.
"Our principles are the same," says another.
"Come with me and we can fight together! We can make California a better place to live," says Zorro.
"But who are you? Where do you live?" asks a young man.
"I can't tell you. It's a secret," says Zorro.
The young men talk together. "Yes, we want to fight with you. We want justice in California. Our new name is The Avengers!" says a young man.
"Yes, we are The Avengers," they all say.
"Good! We now fight together!" says Zorro and leaves.

第七章：复仇者联盟
晚上，治安官和他的朋友们在酒馆里。
他们在嘲笑那个老修士。
“你为什么笑？”一个神秘的声音问道。
他们看着酒馆的门，看到佐罗。
他一手拿着手枪，一手拿着剑。
“长官!我在这里惩罚你，”佐罗说。“老费利佩修士不是贼，你知道的。”
“我是一个重要的地方法官。我不喜欢修士，因为他们是你的朋友，佐罗。”
佐罗把鞭子递给治安官的朋友说：“现在鞭打这个腐败的治安官15次。”
“但我不能这样做，”朋友说。
“要么鞭打他，要么我鞭打你！”佐罗说。
朋友鞭打治安法官。
判罚结束后，裁判官倒地。
“这就是我惩罚不诚实的人的方式，”佐罗说。
第二天，每个人都在谈论治安官的惩罚。
一群年轻人想帮助拉蒙队长逮捕佐罗。
他们在山上和山谷里寻找他。
晚上，他们去维加庄园。
当唐·亚历杭德罗看到他们时，他说：“你们为什么都在这里？”
“我们正在寻找佐罗。我们想抓住这个强盗，拿到赏金。”
晚上9点，唐·迭戈说：“请原谅。我累了，我要去睡觉了。”
“看，迭戈，这些年轻人一点也不累。现在才晚上9点。你很年轻，但你总是很累，”唐·亚历杭德罗说。
“是的，父亲，你说得对。大家晚安！”
其他人又吃又喝又唱歌。
午夜时分，一个蒙面人出现在门口。
“看，这是佐罗！”其中一个年轻人说。
“佐罗，强盗，”他们都说。
“是的，我是佐罗，但我不是强盗。我有原则，我为之奋斗。在加州，我们有腐败的政客，残酷的地方法官和不诚实的人。我想改变这一点。我为帮助穷人，当地人和修士而战。你的原则是什么？”
“我们想帮助穷人，当地人和修士，”一个年轻人说。
“我们的原则是一样的，”另一个人说。
“跟我来，我们可以一起战斗！”我们可以让加州成为一个更好的居住地，”佐罗说。
“你是谁？”你住在哪里？”一个年轻人问。
“我不能告诉你。这是一个秘密，”佐罗说。
年轻人在一起聊天。“是的，我们想和你一起战斗。我们要在加州伸张正义。我们的新名字是复仇者联盟！”一个年轻人说。
“是的，我们是复仇者联盟，”他们都说。
“好!我们现在一起战斗！”佐罗说着离开了。
