Had/Left the market, Tios saw that the roadside has put up rows of horse stables, did not have early for the first time when saw messy and dirty scene that crudely and everywhere horse dung. 出了市场,提奥斯看到路边已搭起一排排马厩,早没了第一次见时的简陋和满地马粪的脏乱景象。 Tios has the good impression to that senior cart driver, therefore also wants to ride his car(riage), starts to shout loudly: „Suolikesi! Suolikesi!......” 提奥斯对那个老车夫有好印象,因此还想坐他的车,开始大声喊道:“索里科斯！索里科斯！……” „old man gets rich now, no longer drove personally, rides my car(riage)!” Some people shout. “老头现在发财了,不再亲自驾车了,坐我的车吧！”有人喊道。 „Do not talk nonsense, was careful that I punch you!” Heard Suolikesi who the sound comes out ridicules to say. “别胡说八道,小心我揍你！”闻声出来的索里科斯笑骂道。 On Tios his carriage, said the destination that oneself must go. 提奥斯上了他的马车,说出自己要去的目的地。 „, You are also looked land that piece must hire?! The person who recently looked were really many!” Suolikesi says immediately. “哦,你也是去看那片要出租的土地吧？！最近去看的人真不少！”索里科斯立刻说道。 Tios nods, says with a smile: „Heard that you do get rich?!” 提奥斯点点头,笑道:“听说你发了财？！” „ Listens to them to talk nonsense, paid off the loan and interest of carriage, I loaned to buy a carriage, rented to a freeman to control, believes that quick can pay off the loan again! Then buys a carriage...... Suolikesi self-confident saying. “听他们瞎说,也就是还清了马车的贷款和利息,我又贷款买了一辆马车,租给一个自由民驾驭,相信很快就可以再次还清贷款！然后再买一辆马车……索里克斯自信的说道。 „Congratulates you!” Tios said: „I look cross again for a year, you can become the carriage merchant.” “祝贺你！”提奥斯称赞道:“我看再过一年,你就可以成为马车商人了。” Suolikesi listens, laughs. 索里科斯听完,哈哈大笑。 „I remember that you are the Theonia citizen, the alliance should apportion you ‚share place’, you come out to harness the carriage to make money, land what to do? I heard that your alliance has the agricultural affairs officer, supervises land use of citizen specially.” Tios curious asking. “我记得你是戴奥尼亚公民吧,联盟应该分给你‘份地’了,你出来驾马车挣钱,土地怎么办？我听说你们联盟有农务官,专门监督公民的土地使用情况。”提奥斯好奇的问道。 „I rented to the freeman to cultivate, will not have any issue.” Suolikesi replied. “我租给了自由民去耕种,不会有任何问题。”索里科斯回答。 He is driving the carriage, on Thurii Amendolara the main road, carriage running quickly on the Sybaris plain, among main road both sides thousand Mo and large expanse of farmland vertically and horizontally/able to move unhindered has built up many houses. 他驾驶着马车,上了图里伊-阿门多拉腊大道,马车奔驰在绪巴里平原上,大道两旁仟陌纵横、成片成片的农田间已经建起了不少的房屋。 Quick should build up villages! Tios thought: The new Thurii development is rapid, has started gradually to resume once prosperity, and also with had the difference greatly, will surpass that past Magna Graecia strong nation! 很快就该建起一个个村庄了吧！提奥斯心想:新图里伊发展非常迅速,已经开始在逐渐恢复曾经的繁荣,并且又与原来大有不同,甚至会超越那个过去的大希腊强邦！ After the carriage bridges over a Sybaris river wooden bridge, passes through grape plantations and brewery workshops, here is the Magna Graecia famous wine habitat. 马车跨过一座绪巴里河木桥后,就经过一座座葡萄种植园和酿酒作坊,这里是大希腊有名的葡萄酒产地。 After crossing Saraz Ceno, enters the Amendolara territory, land that must hire near main road, has used to insert the good wooden club to divide the land for building that must hire it. It close to the main road, facilitates the transportation ; Close to the rivers, provides the water used to the workshop conveniently ; Close to the forest, has the trees to cut( naturally the Theonia alliance to felling trees is rigidly defined). In addition, after on the land of hiring constructs the workshop, but can also construct one for the house that oneself and employees live, by oneself when Theonia does business has a having a rest place. First has the sea, latter has the forest, the side has the rivers, the main road facilitates to go on a journey, is an ideal place of residence! Believes outside nation merchants who each wants in this tenant have construct the idea of workshop and dwelling place simultaneously, 20 years of enough they gain money Fanbei of investment, naturally the premise is the Theonia alliance has existed. 过了萨拉切诺河后,就进入阿门多拉腊的领地,要出租的土地就在大道边,已经用一根根插好的木棍将它分割成一块块要出租的地皮。它靠近大道,方便运输;靠近河流,方便给工坊提供用水;靠近森林,有树木可以采伐(当然戴奥尼亚联盟对砍伐树木有严格规定)。此外,在出租的土地上建完工坊后,还可以建一栋供自己和雇工们居住的房屋,让自己在戴奥尼亚经商期间有个歇脚的地方。前有大海,后有森林,侧有河流,还有大道方便出行,也是一个理想的居住地！相信每一个想要在此租地的外邦商人都有同时建作坊和居处的想法,二十年足够他们把投资的钱翻倍赚回来,当然前提是戴奥尼亚联盟一直存在。 After Tios favored several ideal land parcels, because so-called „auction” must be held tomorrow, therefore he wants first to look for a hotel to stay. 提奥斯看好了几个理想的地块后,因为所谓的“拍卖会”要在明天才举行,于是他就想先找个旅馆住下。 At this time, Suolikesi suggested: „Today you come just in time, the Thurii arena just constructed yesterday. In order to celebrate, archon Sir Davos announced, ‚today and tomorrow, is held the football four city competitions in the arena!’. You have free time in the afternoon, happen to can have a look, heard that very attractive, is livelier than the competition of Olympic Games!” 这时,索里科斯建议道:“今天你来得正巧,图里伊的竞技场昨天刚建好。为了庆祝,执政官戴弗斯大人宣布,‘今明两天,在竞技场举行橄榄球四城对抗赛！’。你下午有空,正好可以去看看,听说非常的好看,比奥林匹亚运动会的比赛还要热闹！” „Rugby competition?” Tios not only curious and has doubts. “橄榄球比赛？”提奥斯既好奇又疑惑。 „That is the game that Sir Davos invents, heard that obtained the Hades god to open!” Suolikesi mysterious saying. “那是戴弗斯大人发明的游戏,听说是得到了冥王的神启！”索里科斯神秘兮兮的说道。 „Is...... is...... two teams of people fights for ball of a shape boasting manufacture like Chinese olive...... un...... then to score points......, I do not talk clearly, the people who have watched this game in any case said are interesting, is attractive! You looked have known.” “就是……就是……两队人争抢一个形状像橄榄一样的牛皮制作的球……嗯……然后得分……哎呀,我也说不清楚,反正看过这个游戏的人都说非常有趣,非常好看！你去看过就知道了。” „Good, I have a look.” Suolikesi recommendation vigorously made Tios come the interest. “好的,我去看看。”索里科斯的极力推荐让提奥斯来了兴趣。 „In the afternoon earlier goes, because the person are many, heard that late, could not go in!” The reminder of Suolikesi good intention said. “下午早点去,因为人很多,听说去晚了,就进不去了！”索里科斯好心的提醒道。 ..................... ………………… The east side of arena in Thurii north city, in the wharf from the city is very near, is far from the main city, the construction also considered here does not affect the daily life of Thurii people. 竞技场在图里伊北城内的东边,距离城内码头很近,距离主城区较远,修建在这里也是考虑到了不影响图里伊民众的日常生活。 Usually questions the strict city health/guard to be relatively more lax today, without carrying the weapon, after inspecting and verifying the population, basically lets, but exceeds the stipulation population, forbade into the city. 平时盘查严格的城卫今天相对松懈一些,只要没有携带武器,点清人数后,基本都让进,但是超过规定人数,就禁止入城了。 Morning that because Tios comes, lucky entering a city. Also knew on the way of that lining up enters a city Corlett merchant Dick Polis who is engaged in the olive oil business, he also watches the football competition, moreover in the morning has looked, is crazy for this novel competition, said by his words: This is Hades bestows the Greeks best gift, a does not have any competition can compare favorably with it! 提奥斯因为来的早,幸运的进了城。在排队进城的途中还认识了一位从事橄榄油生意的克里特商人迪克波里斯,他也是来看橄榄球比赛的,而且上午已经看过一场,就对这种新颖的比赛着了迷,以他的话说:这是冥王赐给希腊人最好的礼物,没有任何一种比赛能与它媲美！ This aroused the Tios interest. 这更激起了提奥斯的兴趣。 Arrives at the arena entrance, has lined up, although the person are many, but under the teams of soldiers' supervision also calculates that observes the order. 来到竞技场门口,已经排起了长队,人虽多,但在一队队士兵的监督下还算遵守秩序。 At this time, Dick Polis made Tios occupy the position, oneself arrived around one in shop that hung „beer” sign carried two cans of beer and two bags of dried fruits comes out, and apportioned Tios half. 这时,迪克波里斯让提奥斯占住位置,自己到旁边的一个挂有“啤酒”牌子的店里拎了两罐啤酒和两袋果干出来,并分给了提奥斯一半。 The Tios embarrassed expression of gratitude repeatedly, and asked: „How much money?” 提奥斯不好意思的连声道谢,并问:“多少钱？” Dick Polis said: „Can know you here, and watches the football competition together, is the arrangement of destiny goddess! If you pay money, does not like giving our people of Corlett to become friends!” 迪克波里斯说道:“能在这里认识你,并一起观看橄榄球比赛,是命运女神的安排！你要是付钱,就是不喜欢给我们克里特人交朋友！” Tios has to accept, Dick Polis straightforward vividly makes him quite have the favorable impression. Meanwhile he also notices to have many people to run to buy the beer, starch and between-meal snack. 提奥斯只好接受,迪克波里斯的豪爽活泼让他颇有好感。同时他也注意到有不少人都跑去买啤酒、浆水和零食。 Dick Polis told him: „Because the playing time is long, we watch the competition under the sunlight, easy thirsty, easy hungry. Moreover, the audience in approach apron are many, to urinate, could not find the place, but this-” he holds up the liquor pot in hand, ridiculed saying with a smile: „Drank up, can, when chamber pot......” 迪克波里斯告诉他:“因为比赛时间长,我们在阳光下看比赛,容易口渴,也容易饿。另外,进入场内的观众很多,万一想撒尿,找不到地方,而这一个-”他举起手中的酒罐,揶揄的笑道:“喝干了,可以当尿壶……” The guard of arena entrance releases a group of people to go, after a while puts a group of people to go in again. When is one's turn Dick Polis them, obviously in the arena had not been filled, in the guard hints them to enter, walks toward in following the channel of his right hand side, but the left hand side channel, they have not been able to go, that is to lead to the reserved seats, almost all arenas are such designs. 竞技场门口的守卫释放一批人进去,过一会儿再放一批人进去。轮到迪克波利斯他们时,显然竞技场内还没有被坐满,守卫示意他们可以入内,顺着他右手侧的通道往里走,而左手侧还有一个通道,他们是不能去的,那是通向贵宾席的,几乎所有的竞技场都是如此的设计。 The Thurii arena is not quite big, its ringside ring-like all stone Deng are also most can sit about 4000 people, in fact but enters the stadium already over 4500 people, and half is the freemen and foreigners. Just like other arenas, in its athletic field the surrounding is a runway, but inside of runway is actually a smooth rectangular sanded path, was divided many regions by dozens white lines. 图里伊竞技场并不太大,它场边环形的所有石凳也就最多能坐大约四千人,但事实上入场的已经超过四千五百人,并且有一半是自由民和外邦人。和其他竞技场一样,它的运动场内外围是跑道,但跑道的里面却是一块平整的长方形沙土地,被几十条白线划分成多个区域。 Dick Polis to the Tios patient explanation contest rule, why and told him to call four city football competitions: „ Four cities are Amendolara, Thurii, Nerulum and Laos, listening to my Theonia friends saying that since this game first by archon Davos as a project of military training, became the mercenary of Amendolara citizen from these started to play...... afterward Thurii and Amendolara establishes the alliance, must and prepares the citizen to conduct the military training to the Thurii citizen, naturally also made them learn this game...... afterward, they captured Nerulum, earliest that group of Lucania soldiers gave Nerulum Lucanians this game...... as for Laos, they sent out large number of labor force construction path, was held the post to supervise work by Theonian, Taught the Laos person to play this game when the rest, to prevent them because of too to slow down tired...... 迪克波利斯向提奥斯耐心讲解比赛规则,并告诉他为什么叫四城橄榄球对抗赛:“四城就是阿门多拉腊、图里伊、尼乌图姆和拉俄斯,听我那些戴奥尼亚的朋友们说,这个游戏最先是被执政官戴弗斯作为一种军事训练的项目,从那些成为阿门多拉腊公民的雇佣兵开始玩起的……后来图里伊与阿门多拉腊成立联盟,要对图里伊公民和预备公民进行军训,自然也让他们学会了这种游戏……后来,他们又夺取了尼乌图姆,最早的那批卢卡尼亚士兵又将这种游戏交给了尼乌图姆的卢卡尼亚人……至于拉俄斯,他们派出大量的劳力修建道路,由戴奥尼亚人担任监工,在休息之余教会了拉俄斯人玩这种游戏,以防止他们因太劳累而怠工…… Possibly the Laos person just started to play, is not skilled, seeming like the coordination is not quite good, when is to confront Thurii in the morning, finally was won by Thurii with ease. This afternoon is Amendolara to Nerulum, heard that the both sides strength differs not in a big way, has the quality of being worth looking at! ” 可能拉俄斯人刚开始玩,还不熟练,看起来配合不太好,所以上午就是对阵图里伊时,结果被图里伊轻松获胜。今天下午是阿门多拉腊对尼乌图姆,听说双方实力相差不大,更有看头！” „You know real many!” Tios sigh with emotion saying. “你知道的真多！”提奥斯感慨的说道。 „I was interested in it, naturally wants to understand clearly.” Dior Powlett's contented saying: „I dull time was quite here long, knows several Theonia alliance citizens to be the friend, was the platoon commander of their so-called regiment, was he tells me......” “我对它感兴趣了,自然就会想去了解清楚。”迪奥波利特自得的说道:“我在这里呆的时间比较长,结识了几个戴奥尼亚联盟公民做朋友,其中一个还担任他们所谓军团的分队长,是他告诉我的……” „Why doesn't have Roscianum?” A sound conveys from side. “为什么没有卡斯特隆？”一个声音从旁边传来。 Dick Polis turns the head to look, does not know by two people have encircled some people. 迪克波利斯转头一看,不知何时两人身旁已经围了一些人。 „Because possibly they are quite few with the alliance citizen contact, without the opportunity studies......” Dick Polis to shrug: „But, I saw that this morning some Roscianum people watch the competition in the conference site, believes that after this four cities compete time, next time again holds, must turn into five city competitions.” “可能因为他们跟联盟公民接触比较少,没有机会去学……”迪克波利斯耸耸肩:“不过,今天上午我就看到有一些卡斯特隆人在会场看比赛,相信经过这一次的四城比赛之后,下一次再举行,恐怕就要变成五城对抗赛了。” „A native of Corlett, you said right, next year our Roscianum will certainly also participate!” In the crowd some people shout. “克里特人,你说的没错,明年我们卡斯特隆一定也会参加的！”人群中有人喊道。 „Right, when we go back to make the suggestion to the powwow!” Another person echoes to say. “对,等我们回去就向议事会提建议！”另一个人附和道。 Dick Powlett winks toward Tios, low voice saying: „You look, I said right.” 迪克波利特朝提奥斯挤挤眼,小声的说道:“你瞧,我说的没错吧。” At this time, brass wind instrument long cry, the athlete started to enter the stadium. 这时,铜号长鸣,运动员开始入场。 This time team member already not like at first in the military compound played the football equipped was so crude, they brought to cover the entire neck the soft fur hat as well as with the protecting clothes that the wool and shive mixed to weave to thicken, and was also dyed the red and blue two colors in order to differentiate, protected the clothes to conduct the back also to embroider the strange symbol( in fact is the Arabia digit, because Greek numeral writing was numerous and diverse, did not help use), identified the team member for the referee. 这时的参赛队员已经不像最初在军营玩橄榄球时装备那么简陋了,他们都带着能罩住整个头颈部的松软皮帽以及用羊毛和亚麻皮混织加厚的护衣,并且还被染成红、蓝两色以便区分,护衣背上还绣有奇怪的符号(实际上是阿拉伯数字,因为希腊数字书写繁杂,不利于使用),供裁判辨认参赛队员。 In both team members approach apron at the same time, strong, the drumbeat of rich rhythm resounds. 双方队员进入场内的同时,强劲的、富有节奏感的鼓声响起。 The red team the platoon becomes neat phalanx immediately, is coordinating the rhythm, jumped with the vigorous powerful and uniform movement in the battlefield won praised the dance of Ares...... the audience to resound warm cheering. 红队立刻排成一个整齐的方阵,配合着节奏,用刚劲有力、整齐划一的动作跳起了在战场上胜利时颂赞阿瑞斯的舞蹈……全场响起了热烈的欢呼。
