=152= 31 =Lastima de Cid Campeador=:  ’it’s a pity about the Cid Campeador’ (ironical).  The Cid (often called also Campeador, ‘champion’) is the chief of the popular national heroes of Spain.  His true name was Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar.  His exploits against both Christians and Moslems made him a marked figure even in his own time, and shortly after his death in the year 1099 he became one of the favorite subjects of popular poetry.  He is the hero of one of the earliest and most famous monuments of Spanish poetry, the Poema del Cid; the early chronicles give much space to him, and he was sung in great numbers of popular ballads (=romances=).

=153= 15 =por aquello de que tiene uno=:  ’by reason of the fact that one has.’  A peculiarity of the Spanish use of =uno=, ‘one,’ well illustrated by this example, is that there is a feeling against employing it except with reference to the speaker himself.  Thus the general and indeterminate ‘one,’ ‘they,’ ‘people,’ Fr. on, is rendered by the reflexive or by the third person plural of the verb; but when the speaker for any reason desires to generalize himself, so to speak, he employs =uno=.

=153= 16 =que si no=:  ‘otherwise.’  Cf. n. on p. 64, l. 1.
