The dingstopped, Plesinasleads the saintessesto go out of the crowd, standsby the templeentrance, starts the in unisonchorus.
钟声停止了,普莱辛纳斯带着圣女们走出人群,在神庙入口两侧站立,开始齐声合唱。Thistime, no longeris only the puresinging sound, moreoverthere islyrics: „
这一次,不再只是纯粹的歌声,而且有了歌词:“
The Hadesgodis fair,哈迪斯神公正严厉,Yourbrilliancephotoland,
你的光辉照大地,Inourheartsfills with the enthusiasm,
我们心中满怀热情,Arrives in yourtemple,
来到你的圣殿里,Yourrayis shiningwe,
你的光芒照耀着我们,
...... ”
……”„Is this...... thisis a newHadesode?!”In the peopleheartfilledsurprisedly, the unusualmelody , is so broadly wonderful. Withcontinuing of singing sound, theycompletelydeeplymoveby the holyandidealinstitute that the songdisplays.
“这是……这是一首新的哈迪斯颂歌吗?!”民众心中充满了惊讶,与众不同的旋律,却又如此美妙恢宏。随着歌声的持续,他们完全被歌曲所表现出的圣洁和理想所深深打动。Countlesspeopledevoutkneels down, in the mouthmeditates the Hadesode, in the eyeflows off the excitedtears......
无数人虔诚的跪倒在地,口中默念哈迪斯颂歌,眼中流下激动的泪水……When the singing soundended, somepeoplecould notbe separatedfor a very long time, cheersuntil the surroundingperson: „Davos!!!......”Theydiscovered that does not knowwhenTheoniaarchon andalliancebigpriestDavoswearsin the whiterobes, batch of whiteturbansandhandsto take the torch, appearsin the templepreviouscircularaltar, butPlesinasinhisbodyside, withanothermalesacrificegentlemanis liftingoneveryin a big way, the smoothconcavebronze mirror.
当歌声结束,一些人还久久不能脱离,直到周围人欢呼:“戴弗斯!!!……”他们才发现不知何时戴奥尼亚执政官、联盟大祭司戴弗斯身穿白袍、头批白巾、手中拿着火炬,出现在神庙前一个圆形的祭坛上,而普莱辛纳斯在他身侧,与另外一名男祭士抬着一面很大的、光滑的凹面铜镜。Peoplecuriousopeningeye, becausehad the rumorbefore, the councilsenior statesmenhad once held the vigorousdiscussionon„the Temple of Hadesceremonial fire”. Because the ceremonial fire is not only Greekcity-statepeoplespirit the department, is representing the inheritance of civilization, particularlywesternMediterraneantheseGreekcity-state, theyare the colonial cities, health/guardcity the ceremonial firedoes not look for a fire hazardto lighton the linecasually, is always bybreedingNational Construction Associationcitycarries offfire seedfrom the mother-statetemple, the preservation, has built up the templeuntil the new town, lights the ceremonial firewith the fire seed, for generationsburnt, shows the native landto fondly remember, torchinheritance!
民众们都好奇的睁大眼睛,因为之前就有传言,元老院的元老们曾就“哈迪斯神庙圣火”进行过激烈讨论。因为圣火不仅是希腊城邦民众精神之所系,也代表着文明的传承,尤其是西地中海的这些希腊城邦,它们都是殖民城市,卫城的圣火可不是随便找个火源点燃就行,从来都是由殖民建城者从母邦的神庙中带走一点火种,一直保存,直到新城建起神庙,才用火种把圣火点燃,世世代代燃烧,以示故土怀念,薪火传承!Therefore the senior statesman of Thuriibirth, was headed byPollux, proposed that introduced the fire seedfromAthensagain, encounteredAntonios, Amintasand the others the vigorousoppositions, the reasonwas: OldThuriihas not existed, newThuriiis not the Athenschildnation!
所以图里伊出生的元老,以波吕克西斯为首,提议从雅典再次引进火种,遭到安东尼奥斯、阿明塔斯等人的强烈反对,理由是:旧的图里伊已经不复存在,新图里伊不是雅典子邦!As forCorneliusproposed that „plantsfrom the Zeustempleignition of Amendolara”is also opposed, the Thuriisenior statesmenthinksmall townAmendolarais not enoughto represent the entireTheoniaalliance.
至于科尔内鲁斯提出“从阿门多拉腊的宙斯神庙引火种”也遭到反对,图里伊元老们认为小城阿门多拉腊不足以代表整个戴奥尼亚联盟。Severalsidequarrelsare intense, finally the Davosdecisionsaid: „SinceTheoniais the newly-builtcity-statealliance, withoutmother-state, Temple of Hades is almost Mediterraneanonlycity-stateprotectiontemple. ThenIthink,hasHadesto grantusthe day of the templecelebration the ceremonial fire, todemonstratehisfavortoTheonia!”
几方争吵激烈,最后戴弗斯拍板说道:“既然戴奥尼亚是新建的城邦联盟,没有母邦,哈迪斯神庙又几乎是地中海唯一一座城邦守护神庙。那么我想,就有哈迪斯在神庙庆典那天赐予我们圣火,以显示他对戴奥尼亚的恩宠!”These wordsspread over the entirecityon the same day, spreads over the entirealliancequickly. Now the general publicandcouncilsenior statesman, justobtained the newsdistinguished guestscuriouslyandis gazing in the bigpriesthandexcitedlynot the littorch, is waiting foroccurrence of miracle, orwas anticipating the Magna Graeciabiggestjokeappears.
这番话当天就被传遍全城,很快传遍整个联盟。现在无论是普通民众、元老院元老、还是刚得到消息的贵宾们都在好奇而兴奋的注视着大祭司手中未被点燃的火炬,等待着奇迹的发生、又或者期待着大希腊最大的笑话出现。Davosfacing the templeentrance, sternpartlykneelsin the altar, in the handcarries the torch.戴弗斯面对神庙入口,神情庄严的半跪在祭坛上,手中高举火炬。Plesinas and sacrificegentlemanretrocedesseveralsteps, the holding upbronze mirror of using energy, the rotation, the adjustmentangle, projects the sunlightfocus of burning hottobunch of cyperus rotunduspaper scraps that on the torchpeakstretches outslowly......普莱辛纳斯和祭士后退几步,费劲的举起铜镜,缓缓转动,调整角度,将炙热的阳光聚焦投射到火炬顶端伸出的一簇莎草纸屑上……
The peoplefamiliarHadesode of sangagainfrom the saintessesmouth, the soundpassed on the clouds......
众人熟知的哈迪斯颂歌再次从圣女们口中唱出,声传云霄……Noonsunny dayroastsis roasting everyone, the streaming with sweatpeoplefeel nothing, the attentionprojectsonmotionlessDavosthroughout......
中午的艳阳炙烤着每一个人,汗流浃背的民众浑然不觉,注意力始终投射在一动不动的戴弗斯身上……Timeatoneminute/shareonesecond of past.
时间在一分一秒的过去。
The bronze mirrorrayis dazzling, the torchmaintains the original designas before......
铜镜光芒刺眼,火炬依旧保持原样……„Said that whatHadeswill grant the ceremonial fire, Ilook athimamconceited, reallythinksownanythingcanachieve!”Polluxsneersin a low voice, Davos the words that spokein the conference sitecandisseminateis so broadandis so quick, hegavemanystrength, he hopes to see Davosis making a bonerat this moment, thiswill makethisyoungarchon prestigebe attacked very much!
“说什么哈迪斯会赐予圣火,我看他是狂妄自大,真以为自己什么都能做到吗!”波吕克西斯低声冷笑,戴弗斯在会场所说的话之所以能传播这么广、这么快,他从中出了不少力,他希望看到戴弗斯在此刻出丑,这将使这位年轻执政官的威望受到很大打击!Burkesbumpshimwith the hand, the reminder of good intentionhekeepsquiet.布尔克斯用手碰碰他,好心的提醒他保持安静。Polluxreturned to a supercilious look. Burkeswashisoncegood friend, the presentisincouncil, inThuriisenior statesmanto one of the Davospowerfulsupporters, if not, Polluxdoes not wantto communicatewithhimfor some reasonsagain.波吕克西斯回了一个白眼。布尔克斯是他曾经的好朋友,现在是元老院里,图里伊元老中对戴弗斯强有力的支持者之一,若不是因为某些原因,波吕克西斯都不想跟他再来往。Suddenly, henoticed that the torchpeakas ifbraved the light smoke, hethinks that oneselfmisread, made an effortto blink.
忽然间,他看到火炬顶端似乎冒起了青烟,他以为自己看错了,使劲眨了眨眼。Screamscontinuouslyfromhave transmittedin all directions.
此起彼伏的惊呼声已经从四面八方传来。Quick, the light smoketurns into a smallbunch of beat the redyellowflame, litrapidlywith the linen that the olive oilsoaks.
很快,青烟变成一小簇跳动的红黄色火焰,迅速点燃了用橄榄油浸泡的麻布。Flame, flamingcombustion!
火焰,熊熊燃烧!„Oh, Hades!!!” The people that witnessthismiraclevoicelandslidetsunamicheering, the entirehill seems vibrating.
“噢,哈迪斯!!!”亲眼目睹这一神迹的民众发出山崩海啸般的欢呼,整座山丘仿佛都在震动。Even the distinguished guestsalsolook at each other in blank dismay, unbelievable of face: Did Theoniareallyreceivecare of Hades?!
连贵宾们也面面相觑,一脸的难以置信:难道戴奥尼亚真的是受到了哈迪斯的眷顾?!
Did Davosreallyobtaincare of Hades?! Senior statesmenawelooks atfrontDavos, the body of Polluxis shiveringslightly, heas ifseesin the torch that Davoscarries the Hadesdignifiedeyesinlooking straight ahead of coldlyhe.戴弗斯真的得到了哈迪斯的眷顾?!元老们则敬畏的望着前方的戴弗斯,波吕克西斯的身体则在微微颤抖,他似乎看到戴弗斯高举的火炬中哈迪斯威严的双眼在冷冷的直视着他。Davosrelaxessecretly, althoughalsohad practicedbeforeseveraltimes, evenchose the cloudless dayespecially, performsusing the square, the ceremony of lighting the flamewill continueat noon, butinhisheartsomewhatis disturbed, after allthisisin the face oftens of thousandspeople, ifscrewed up, hewill plan and prestige of godfamilydeliberatelywill be destroyed in a moment! Luckily, Hadesblesses, hesucceeded!戴弗斯暗自松了口气,虽然之前也练过几次,甚至特地选了晴天,又利用广场表演,将点火仪式延续到中午,但他的心中还是有些忐忑,毕竟这是在几万人面前,万一搞砸了,他处心积虑的计划和神眷者的威名都将毁于一旦!幸好,哈迪斯保佑,他成功了!Davosstands upslowly, carries the torch, goes slowly for a week, solemnenjoyspeople the ocean waves in cheeringacoustic imagestormto be the same, pushes to the peakhimtime and time again......戴弗斯慢慢站起身,高举火炬,缓行一周,神情肃穆的享受着民众的欢呼声像风暴中的海浪一样,一次又一次将他推向顶峰……Thenheunderoffering a sacrifice to the accompaniment of gentlemen, walks into the temple, the dark coloredbronzebrazier11ignitions before Hadesidol, the Temple of Hadesceremonial fireis restless the day and nighthenceforth, blessingTheoniais thriving.
然后他在祭士们的陪同下,步入神庙,将哈迪斯神像前的暗黑色青铜火盆一一点燃,从此哈迪斯神庙圣火将昼夜不息,保佑戴奥尼亚繁荣昌盛。WhenDavosgoes out of the temple, the resonantbuglesoundgets up, along with the low and deepdrumbeats, Kapus, DrakosandSheroNimsthreelegatusis the head, the additionaleightchiefs, the whole bodymilitary garb, are liftingthreestelesagainrespectively, underescorting of 40platoon commanders, before arriving at the temple .
待戴弗斯走出神庙,嘹亮的军号声响起,伴随着低沉的鼓点,卡普斯、德拉克斯、希罗尼姆斯三名军团长为首,再加八名大队长,全身戎装,分别抬着三个石碑,在40名分队长的护送下,来到神庙前。Whenmostpeopledoubtspuzzledlookinghaveperson of highthreestelesto that the words of bigpriestwith the help of transaudient, send in the ear of people: „Establishment and development of Theoniacity-statealliance, cannot leaveblessing of Hades!

当大部分民众疑惑不解的望向那有一人高的三个石碑时,大祭司的话语在传声者的帮助下,送入民众的耳朵:“戴奥尼亚城邦联盟的建立和发展,离不开哈迪斯的庇佑!也离不开公民们为之付出的努力!在我们享受和平和繁荣的今天,请不要忘记为保卫戴奥尼亚而付出生命的勇士们!他们的名字都镌刻在这三面石碑上,哈迪斯赞赏他们对联盟的忠诚和英勇,允许他们的灵魂进驻神庙,化作英灵,继续保卫戴奥尼亚,并接受戴奥尼亚人之子孙及后人的瞻仰和祭拜!”说完,戴弗斯神情肃穆的跪倒在石碑前。legatus, chiefs, platoon commandersas well asallsoldierson the sceneface the stelepartlyto kneelin the place, looks stern.
紧接着,军团长、大队长、分队长以及所有在场的士兵都面对石碑半跪在地,神情庄严。Inpeopleeyes, thatstele that carves the fullhandwritingno longeris the icystone, butis the well-knownandfresh/liveforms......
在民众眼中,那颗刻满字迹的石碑不再是冷冰冰的石块,而是一个个有名有姓、鲜活的身影……„Wū wū......”except for the distinguished guests, all over is the Theoniapeople of kneeling down, inthissolemn and respectfulatmosphereis the wail that spreads unable to constrain, theseweeperswere the family members of dying in battlesoldier.
“呜呜呜……”除了贵宾们,漫山遍野全是跪倒的戴奥尼亚民众,在这肃穆的气氛中更是传出压抑不住的哭泣声,那些哭泣者都是战死士兵的眷属。„Warriordoes not die, the hero soulexists forever!”
“勇士不死,英灵长存!”„Warriordoes not die, the hero soulexists forever!!!”
“勇士不死,英灵长存!!!”
......
……Davosleads the peopleto kotowto the stele.戴弗斯带领民众向石碑叩首。This momentvegetationfeels emotion, worldwithsad, blew the galeunexpectedlyat the right moment, evenSunwas also coveredby the clouds, made the peoplebelieve that ownshoutinggot the response.
此刻草木有情,天地同悲,竟适时刮起了大风,连太阳也被云朵遮挡,更让民众相信自己的呼喊得到了回应。Suddenly, the praysound of peopleprolonged......
一时间,民众的祈祷声经久不绝……
The bugle and battle drumplay music in unison, the high-ranking military officers and teamofficersare stepping the neatstep, underattention of eyes, lifts the steleto enter the templeten million/countless.
军号与战鼓齐奏,将官、队官迈着整齐的步伐,在千万双眼睛的注目下,抬着石碑进入神庙。„Veneration of Theoniantosoldiercanbe insuchdegreeunexpectedly!” Before Lysias, heard that Theoniais the army of triumphant returnholds the triumphal returningtype, at this momentwill seethem the stele of dying in battleto send in the temple, changed countenancegreatly.
“戴奥尼亚人对战士的尊崇竟然可以到这样的程度!”吕西阿斯之前就听说戴奥尼亚为胜利归来的军队举行凯旋式,此刻又见他们将战死者的石碑送入神庙,不禁大为动容。„Had such sacredaction, how the Theoniacitizencannot be willingto fightat risk of life!”Did not have the mood of ridiculeinnearbyCrotonenauarchAskamas, stern-faced.
“有了这样神圣的举措,戴奥尼亚公民又怎么能不甘愿拼死战斗呢!”在一旁的克罗托内海军统帅阿斯卡玛斯也没有了嘲弄的心情,一脸的严肃。HeandLysiaslooks at each othermutually, whatin the heartthinksis the sameissue: From now onby some chanceagainand does Theoniahave the war, Crotonecandefeatsohigh-spiritedTheonian?
他和吕西阿斯相互对视,心中想的是同一个问题:今后万一再和戴奥尼亚发生战争,克罗托内能战胜如此士气高昂的戴奥尼亚人吗?Somedistinguished guestsmore or lesssuchfeelingfromsouthintentUnion, butregardingElliade'sKanos, Theoniapowerfulheis happyto see.
来自南意同盟的贵宾们或多或少都有些这样的感受,而对于埃利亚的卡尼奥斯而言,戴奥尼亚的强大正是他乐于看到的。
After rousing the bugle callvanishes, the harpsoundresounds......
鼓号声消失后,竖琴声又响起……In the melodioustweedle, before smallHeracleidesandYasiklifts a half-lengthstatueto arrive at the temple .
在悠扬的琴声中,小赫拉克利德和皮亚西克斯抬着一尊半身石像走到神庙前。„The Theoniapeople, pleasetellme, the Thuriinew towniswhodesigns? Iswholeadsusto construct?”Davosaskedloudly.
“戴奥尼亚的民众们,请你们告诉我,图里伊新城是谁设计?是谁带领我们建造的?”戴弗斯大声问道。„...... IsHeracleides.”Replied that the soundis off and on.
“……是赫拉克利德。”回答声断断续续。
” WhowasdesignedandconstructedTemple of Hades? ” Davosalsoasked.
”是谁设计和建造了哈迪斯神庙?”戴弗斯又问。„Heracleides!”Thisreplywas neater.
“赫拉克利德!”这一次的回答整齐多了。„Constructs the new townor the temple, iswhoseevery dayalwayscomes, mostevening walkearly, has the serious illness, must puthimto deeply loveinthisurban architecture the completemental effort, andgaveownlifefinally?”Davosaskedagainloudly: „Who is he?!”
“无论是建造新城还是神庙,是谁每天总是最早来、最晚走,身染重病,仍然要将全部的心力都扑在他热爱这座城市建筑上,并最终奉献了自己的生命?”戴弗斯再次大声发问:“他是谁?!”„Heracleides!!!” The neatandenergeticreplyreverberatesin the hill.
“赫拉克利德!!!”整齐而有力的回答在山丘间回荡。„In view of the fact thatHeracleides- thisarchitecttreats the contribution that Theoniamakes, hisstatuewill move intoHall of Sages of temple, attains the Hadesfavor , to continue isElysiumcontributes labor and materialswithhistalent! Meanwhile, in the lateryears, so long asthere areTheonia people are the prosperity and development of Theoniamakes the great contribution, thentheirstatueswill also move into the temple, looked at reverentlyby the later generation, soulandalliancewithsaving!”As a result of the miracle of ceremonial fire, Davosis similar toHadesto take possessionat this moment, hiswordsnaturallycanencourage the people.
“鉴于赫拉克利德-这位建筑大师对待戴奥尼亚所做的贡献,他的雕像将入驻神庙的贤人祠,获哈迪斯恩宠,继续用他的才华为爱丽舍乐园添砖加瓦!同时,在以后的岁月中,只要有戴奥尼亚的民众为戴奥尼亚的繁荣和发展做出巨大贡献的,那么他们的雕像也将入驻神庙,受后人瞻仰,灵魂与联盟同存!”由于圣火的神迹,戴弗斯此刻就如同哈迪斯附身,他的话自然更能激励民众。Note: Aboutgrasping the concavebronze mirrorfocussunlightcanlightstraw paperplot, just when startedto writealsosomecannotdetermine.

注:关于手持凹面铜镜聚焦阳光能不能点燃莎草纸这一情节,刚开始写时还有些不敢确定。后来想起历史上百年后的罗马围攻锡拉库扎城,阿基米德设计了很多器械协助守城,其中一项就是让士兵们站在城头,手持上百个凹面铜镜,聚焦阳光,点燃了罗马人停泊在海湾里的战船船帆。船帆都能点燃,莎草纸应该更容易,而且距离近太多了。
