I guess that means, "Christ has mercy."

意思是我主慈悲
And he would turn around and all these Bretons,

然后他再转过来所有布列塔尼人
particularly all the Breton kids,

特别是布列塔尼小孩子们
he'd turn around and say "Kyrie eleison,"

他转过来说这句话的时候
And he was greeted with gales of laughter

引发了阵阵大笑
because Kyrie eleison means, in Breton, purely by coincidence,

因为恰巧这句话在布列塔尼语里意思是
"There are many wagons."

"好多马车啊"
And then they would all laugh at him.

他们都嘲笑牧师
And so there was a failure to understand each other,

这说明与布列塔尼人的交流曾经是失败的
and the idea that somehow these Bretons

在过去人们认为布列塔尼人
were all kind of plooks, were bumpkins, were uneducated

都是土包子没有文化的人
people who could never become part of the true France

永远不可能成为真正的法国人
