这也许是古西语的拼法吧,看着像法语,是“堂·吉诃德”的意思,塞万提斯的小说,也是西班牙最著名的小说之一,主人公就叫“堂·吉诃德”,不过现代西语的正确拼法是Dong Quijote de la Mancha。

Don Quixote (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote) (Spanish speakers usually spell it Don Quijote)

A famous novel "Don Quixote de la Mancha" by Spanish author "Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra". Published in 1905 considered one of the earliest novels written in modern European language, and one of the finest written in Spanish.

The adjective "quixotic", at present meaning "idealistic and impractical", derives from the protagonist's name, and the expressions "tilting at windmills" and "fighting windmills" come from this story.
