日文版也有傳言牠等會"鞭"馬兒得名。缺中文版。

與香港的賽馬相比,逸園賽狗的比賽日程更頻密,每週一、四、六、日晚,每晚十八賽場,即是一週共有七十二場,而每場出賽的狗隻數目不等,少則六隻多則八隻,但都是體型瘦長、反應靈敏的格力狗。
發現連Wikipedia都已有正確的翻譯。

IN a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing. An olla of rather more beef than mutton, a salad on most nights, scraps on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays, and a pigeon or so extra on Sundays, made away with three-quarters of his income.
似乎屠孟超先生的翻譯有誤(或版本不同)。
不過,此英文本用greyhound(我們以前有專文討論它 新文:greyhound 等),而這兩本都沒細緻處理。 而且此處英文的 courcing 有專門"用 greyhound 獵兔"之意思.....
