„Had heard that Kingdom of Theonia is strong in west Mediterranean, some city-state have to submit to your military forces, I have not believed that but on our Athens own land, on sacred ecclesia, our Egyptian colored glaze Heath secret Yi of noble character and high prestige holds torch Culley Lancet to receive a Theonia envoy to threaten today unexpectedly in the presence of everyone, making me really believe the arbitrariness of Theonia!” “早就听说戴奥尼亚王国在西地中海非常强势,一些城邦不得不屈从于你们的武力,我还不太相信,但是今天在我们雅典自己的土地上、在神圣的公民大会上,我们德高望重的埃琉西斯秘仪持炬者卡利阿斯居然受到一个戴奥尼亚使者当众的威胁,让我确实相信了戴奥尼亚的蛮横！” Iphicrates stands, the hand is pointing at Callias II, said indignantly: „ Citizens still remember when he opens the mouth to speak the 1st words!- ‚I represent the Theonia 2 million citizens to give regards to you’- this is the words of regards! No, this is the threat! He is threatening Culley Lancet not only, is threatening our Athens each citizen! He is threatening us , if not accept the request of Theonia, they will send out a powerful army to conquer Athens! 伊菲克拉特斯站起来,手指着卡里阿斯,义愤填膺地说道:“公民们还记得他开口演讲时的第一句话吗！-‘我代表戴奥尼亚200万公民向你们问好’-这是问候的话语吗！不,这是威胁！他不光是在威胁卡利阿斯,也是在威胁我们雅典的每一位公民！他在威胁我们如果不答应戴奥尼亚的要求,他们就将派出一支强大的军队来征服雅典！ But I must tell you on behalf of the Athens citizen am, dozens years ago also once sent the envoy to send out the similar threat compared with Theonian mouth many Persia to us here, but ultimately we won the victory of that war, therefore our Athenians does not dread any threat! ” 但我要代表雅典公民告诉你的是,几十年前比戴奥尼亚人口更多的波斯也曾经派使者在这里对我们发出相似的威胁,但最终我们赢得了那场战争的胜利,所以我们雅典人是不畏惧任何威胁的！” Right that „Iphicrates said that our Athens does not dread any country, Persia, Theonia! Do not look at Theonian to be many, they are afraid with Athens have the war, will otherwise not send a envoy to say here east said the west!......” Under Iffy Craster's influence, some Athens citizens brandishes the arm to express their disaffection loudly. “伊菲克拉特斯说的对,我们雅典不畏惧任何国家,无论是波斯、还是戴奥尼亚！别看戴奥尼亚人多,他们害怕与雅典发生战争,否则也不会派一个使者在这里说东说西的！……”在伊菲克拉斯特的影响下,一些雅典公民挥舞手臂大声表达他们的不满。 Callias II is the facial expression is still calm, after this wave of voice subsides slightly, he righteous saying: „ More than 10 years ago, Athens once made the commitment to Theonia, ‚no longer puts up «Theonian» this play.’ When I enter this city, I discovered that many theaters are putting up this shame Theonian play repeatedly. Many Athenians in knowing me after Theonia, not only will cast the vision that to despise, will also scold a barbarian...... 卡里阿斯依旧是神情镇定,待这一波声浪稍微平息之后,他才理直气壮的说道:“在十多年前,雅典曾经向戴奥尼亚作出承诺,‘不再上演《戴奥尼亚人》这部戏剧。’但是当我走进这座城市的时候,我发现多个剧场都在反复上演这部羞辱戴奥尼亚人的戏剧。不少雅典人在得知我是来自戴奥尼亚之后,不但会投以鄙夷的目光,还会骂上一声蛮夷…… I in the speech, ‚2 million citizens’ those words, will be seriously the reminder specially in addition you, Theonia is a great nation, is the western Mediterranean powerful nation, no matter your impression to the Theonia is good is bad, but first should display the respect to Theonia! 我之所以会在演讲的时候,特意加上‘200万公民’那句话,就是要郑重的提醒你们,戴奥尼亚是一个大国,是西地中海的强国,不管你们对戴奥尼亚的观感是好是坏,但首先应该对戴奥尼亚表现出尊重！ Thinks once to bring the huge harm to you Sparta, their envoys every comes to Athens one time, how do you treat their? Even their armies grabbed compared with Piraeus nearby village, you still had not felt embarrassed their envoys, returns its security. Each you and Sparta has the war time, in the strength or the weakness, you finally chooses with the Sparta peaceful truce...... 想一想曾经给你们带来巨大伤害的斯巴达,他们的使者每一次到雅典来,你们是怎么对待他们的？甚至他们的军队劫掠了比雷埃夫斯港附近的村庄,你们仍然没有为难他们的使者,将其安全地放回。每一次你们和斯巴达发生战争,无论是处于优势或者劣势,你们最终都选择与斯巴达和平停战…… You adopt the reason that does this, is not because Sparta is Greek most powerful city-state, you must result in the prudent consideration to have the consequence of war with it. Now, the Sparta that you have carefully treated facing the attack of Theonia army, is supporting by strenuous efforts. Therefore facing one compared with the Sparta more powerful Theonia sacred kingdom, Athens should display your respect, simultaneously prudent treats related Theonia all issues!! ” 你们之所以采取这样做的原因,难道不是因为斯巴达是希腊最强大的城邦,你们必须得慎重的考虑与它发生战争的后果。如今,你们一直谨慎对待的这个斯巴达面对戴奥尼亚军队的进攻,正在苦苦支撑。因此面对一个比斯巴达更强大的戴奥尼亚神圣王国,雅典是不是应该表现出你们的尊重,同时慎重的对待有关戴奥尼亚的一切问题！！” Callias II's words rouse the deaf, let some citizens looking pensive. 卡里阿斯的话振聋发聩,让有些公民若有所思。 „When your Theonia fleet bluffs and blusters in the sea area of Athens as well as allied country, the interception communication merchant ship, threatens the Athens maritime safety time, but also wants to make us express the respect to Theonia, rather forced someone to do something against his will!” Another general Caburi Lancet stands to launch an attack suddenly. “当你们戴奥尼亚的舰队在雅典以及盟邦的海域耀武扬威,拦截来往商船、威胁雅典的海上安全的时候,还想让我们对戴奥尼亚表示尊重,未免太强人所难了吧！”另一位将军卡布利阿斯突然站起来发难。 Callias II revealed an anxiety finally: Athenians really mentioned his headache, the rampant approach of 1st fleet is truly intensifying the tension of two countries without doubt, he also once wrote a letter to expedition army commander Crotokatax, expressed own view, hopes where this prince can advise against Secker to set up present stage to suspend to the patrol of Aegean Sea, avoids further stimulating Athenians. But from the present situation, Crotokatax cannot persuade from the apparent work is high, conduct unruly Secker sets up secure, causing him to rack brains to reply his headache. 卡里阿斯终于露出了一丝紧张:雅典人果然提到了这个令他头痛的问题,确实第一舰队的嚣张做法无疑在加剧两国的紧张程度,他也曾经写信给远征军队指挥官克罗托卡塔克斯,表达了自己的看法,希望这位王子能够劝阻塞克立安在现阶段暂停对爱琴海的巡逻,避免进一步刺激雅典人。但从现在的情况来看,克洛托卡塔克斯未能劝服自视功高、行事桀骜的塞克立安,导致他不得不绞尽脑汁来回答这个令他头痛的问题。 However when he ferments the sentence, to want better comforting regarding this discontented Athens citizen, Callistratus again says: „ Citizens, we know that Attica this barren land can nurture so many population, and since prosperity, Athens dependence is not the abundant product of ground, but is the seaborne commerce. 然而就在他酝酿语句、想要更好的安抚对此不满的雅典公民时,卡利斯特拉图斯再次开口说道:“公民们,我们都知道阿提卡这块贫瘠的土地之所以能够哺育这么多的人口,并且繁荣至今,雅典依靠的不是地上的充沛物产,而是海上贸易。 Through the sea trade, we can purchase enough much cheap grain, meets the needs of people ; Through the sea trade, we can make many wealth enough, causes oneself live abundant at the same time, can pay enough payment of taxes, therefore seaborne commerce prosperous or not, relates to the Athens life and death! 通过海贸,我们能够购买足够多便宜的粮食,满足民众的需要;通过海贸,我们能够挣得足够多的钱财,使自己生活富足的同时,也能缴纳足够的赋税,因此海上贸易的兴旺与否,关系到雅典的生死存亡！ However for these years, the Athens seaborne commerce is withering, the income of merchants is reducing, many workshops have started to reduce production and be even closed, the Athens city and harbor vagrant is increasing, but the grain price gradually is actually rising...... you to know that is what reason?! ” 但是这几年,雅典的海上贸易在萎缩,商人们的收入在减少,不少工坊已经开始减产、甚至关闭,雅典城及港口的无业游民在增多,但是粮价却在逐渐上升……你们知道是什么原因吗？！” Callistratus's words looked like a flare of combustion to throw into the oil pot, immediately the entire conference site boiled. 卡利斯特拉图斯的话就像是一根燃烧的火把扔进了油壶里,顿时整个会场都沸腾起来。 „That is because the Theonia merchant in each city-state mass selling inexpensive olive oil, causing my cargo few people to purchase, piles up in the freight station, finally the corruption deteriorates, these are the money!” “那是因为戴奥尼亚商人在各个城邦大量销售廉价的橄榄油,导致我的货物很少有人购买,堆积在货站里,最后腐败变质,那些都是钱哪！” „A fine both ears Tao Ping price has not been lower than 6 drachma, but the Theonia merchant can actually sell it for four drachma, their is in view of the malicious business competition of our Athens, makes them do again like this, my pottery shop may probably break down!” “一个精美的双耳陶瓶的价格从来没有低于过六个德拉克玛,但是戴奥尼亚商人却可以将它卖到四个德拉克玛,他们这是针对我们雅典的恶意商贸竞争,再让他们这样搞下去,我的陶器店可就要垮啦！” „I am an outstanding accountant, the big merchant holds the post of the accountant dozens years to Parson, has been conscientious, in the past few days he told me suddenly, because he was not booming in many stores of overseas, the income sharp decline, he has to resign me, works for many years of old person with several that I leave together. I am very discontented with him, but I know now, all these are the mistakes of Theonia merchant!” “我是一名优秀的会计员,给帕森大商人担任会计几十年,一直兢兢业业,前些天他却突然告诉我,因为他在海外的多家商铺一直不景气,收入锐减,他不得不将我辞掉,和我一同离开的还有好几位效力多年的老人。我对他很不满,但我现在知道了,这一切原来都是戴奥尼亚商人的错！” ...... …… The sound wave that denounced one after another raided unceasingly to conference venue center's Callias II, making him feel the greatest pressure, he frowned tightly, the intention racing, thought fast is reducing and solving the Athens citizen angry method. 一波又一波声讨的音浪不断向会场中央的卡里阿斯袭来,使他感到了莫大的压力,他紧皱眉头,心念急转,快速思索着化解雅典公民愤怒的方法。 But at this moment, he heard the Callistratus vigorous heavy/thick voice: „Thank you to the speech that the Athens citizen made! We had been clear the idea and request of Theonia, then we ‚do want to continue to Theonia remain friendly? Helps Sparta?’ This important subject conducts to vote by ballots, therefore please-” 可就在这时,他听到了卡利斯特拉图斯雄浑厚重的声音:“感谢你对雅典公民所作出的演讲！我们都已经清楚了戴奥尼亚的想法和要求,接下来我们就‘是否要继续对戴奥尼亚保持友好？还是帮助斯巴达？’这个重要的议题进行投票表决,因此请你-” „Please wait, I also had the words to say!” Callias II felt that the intense anxiety, therefore the anxious request said. “请等一等,我还有话要说！”卡里阿斯感到强烈的不安,于是急切的请求道。 „Please observe the order of our congress, immediately leaves the conference site!” Callistratus visits him indifferently, tone firm saying. “请你遵守我们大会的秩序,立即离开会场！”卡利斯特拉图斯漠然看着他,语气坚决的说道。 Callias II starts to speak but hesitates, finally helpless sighing, before the guard comes, his initiative left was conference venue center's, although in the heart somewhat lost, but he still chinned up and chested out is welcoming the insult sound of Athens citizen, goes out this made him look forward to Athens ecclesia...... 卡里阿斯欲言又止,最终无奈的叹了口气,在卫兵过来之前,他主动的离开了会场中央,尽管心中有些失落,但他依然昂首挺胸的迎着雅典公民的辱骂声,走出了这个曾经让他憧憬过的雅典公民大会…… .................................................................. ………………………………………………………… In the afternoon, he welcome to the Athens city hall, the general executive committee headed by Callistratus is being welcomed his arrival. 下午,他被请到了雅典的市政厅,以卡利斯特拉图斯为首的将军执行委员会正迎接他的到来。 Callistratus facial expression serious said to him: „We represent all Athens citizen, formally informs you, Athens decides to join Greek Alliance , helping Sparta, resists the aggression of Theonia!” 卡利斯特拉图斯神情郑重的对他说道:“我们代表全体雅典公民,正式通知你,雅典决定加入希腊联盟,帮助斯巴达,抵御戴奥尼亚的侵略！” Although Callias II has the preparation, but in the heart the resentment has not disappeared, his cold sound taunted: „Operation entire ecclesia of your using energy mental effort, has not wasted finally, congratulates you finally to serve the purpose.” 卡里阿斯虽然已经有心理准备,但心中怨气未消,他冷声嘲讽道:“你们费劲心力的操纵整个公民大会,总算没有白费,恭喜你们终于达到了目的。” Callistratus seems very calm, he said confidently: „Your eloquence is truly good, but between Athens and Theonia will have a war surely, this cannot avoid, but the choice made war at this time, to Athens was the best time.” 卡利斯特拉图斯显得十分冷静,他坦然说道:“你确实口才很好,但雅典和戴奥尼亚之间必定会有一战,这是避免不了的,而选择在这个时候开战,对雅典来说是最佳时机。” „It seems like you win very confident to Athens!” Callias II sneered. “看来你对雅典获胜很有信心啊！”卡里阿斯又冷笑了一声。 „I know that Theonia is very powerful.” Callistratus looks at Callias II, the look is profound, the expression is powerful: „But has Theonia very been powerful? When you resist the army invasion of Dionysius, when you knew that Carthage same has the same feeling to you declare war...... relatively small and weak Theonia with today's Athens! The founding of the nation is about dozens years of Theonia dares a adventure, had Athens of brilliant history not to have this courage!” “我知道戴奥尼亚很强大。”卡利斯特拉图斯看着卡里阿斯,眼神深邃,言辞有力:“但戴奥尼亚一直都很强大吗？当你们抵御狄奥尼修斯的大军入侵的时候,当你们得知迦太基向你们宣战的时候……相对弱小的戴奥尼亚何尝不是和今天的雅典一样有着相同的感受！建国不过几十年的戴奥尼亚都敢于次次冒险,拥有辉煌历史的雅典难道就没有这个勇气了吗！” He stopped , has saying of meaning: „In the morning you incites the mood of Athens citizen on ecclesia with Sparta repeatedly, but my truth you told that the fact over the past dozens years showed that Sparta again how tyrannical, will not have the too big harm to the Athens fundamental interests, however the Theonia strength has not entered Greece completely, has made Athens come under very tremendous impact, is free and prosperous for the Athens independence, when the Athens citizen has and past Greco-Persian Wars same courage!” 他停顿了一下,又颇有意味的说道:“上午在公民大会上你多次用斯巴达来煽动雅典公民的情绪,但我实话跟你说吧,过去几十年的事实证明斯巴达再怎么强横,对雅典的根本利益不会有太大损害,但是戴奥尼亚的力量还未完全进入希腊本土,就已经让雅典受到了很大影响,为了雅典的独立自由和繁荣,雅典公民拥有着和当年希波战争时一样的勇气！” Callias II silent a while, is staring at him, saying of respect: „That lets us a minute/share of victory and defeat in the battlefield, hopes that in can also with you sit together after the war will discuss the Athens future!” 卡里阿斯沉默了一会儿,然后凝视着他,略带敬意的说道:“那就让我们在战场上分胜负吧,希望在战后还能与你坐在一起商讨雅典的未来！” Then, he raises slightly to salute slightly, then goes out of the city hall with stride. 说完,他略微欠身行礼,接着大步走出市政厅。 Callistratus looks at the back that Callias II is departing, the complexion suddenly becomes dignified, he turns around to say to others: „Then we must hurry to look for Persians to chat!” 卡利斯特拉托斯望着卡里阿斯离去的背影,脸色陡然变得凝重,他转身对其他人说道:“接下来我们得赶紧找波斯人谈谈！” .................................................................. ………………………………………………………… „Teacher, is not good! It is not good!......” In Au Loek Lancet's rushing room out of breath. “老师,不好啦！不好啦！……”奥勒阿斯上气不接下气的闯进屋内。
