介绍（中）	根据传统，独角兽在表演魔法时不会被打扰。因此，猎人的攻击大概是在《发现独角兽》中描绘的行动之后不久开始的，现场充满了混乱和骚动。战斗的激烈通过瞄准动物的会聚长矛、狩猎号角的响起和来势汹汹的猎犬来传达。背上已经受伤的独角兽跳过一条小溪，拼命地试图逃离包围的敌人。使用猎犬侦察、追逐并最终攻击采石场是中世纪雄鹿狩猎的典型做法，背景中的富丽堂皇的建筑可能进一步暗示狩猎是皇家或贵族的消遣。与《猎人进入森林》和《囚禁中的独角兽》不同，这部和其他绞刑都设置在现实的风景中，增强了狩猎的戏剧性。
介绍（英）	According to tradition, the unicorn cannot be disturbed while performing a magical act. The attack by the hunters thus presumably begins soon after the action depicted in The Unicorn Is Found, and the scene is one filled with chaos and commotion. The ferocity of the battle is conveyed by the converging lances aimed at the animal, the sounding of the hunting horns, and the menacing hounds. Already wounded on his back, the unicorn leaps across a stream in a desperate attempt to escape his encircling enemies. The use of hounds to scout, chase, and eventually attack the quarry was typical practice in medieval stag hunts, and the palatial buildings in the background might be a further allusion to the hunt as a royal or aristocratic pastime. Unlike The Hunters Enter the Woods and The Unicorn in Captivity, this and the other hangings are set in realistic landscapes that enhance the drama of the hunt.
