„Young people, do not have such big anger.” Ansitanos is sitting quietly motionless, warm word comforts own student, he refers to the side table on several was putting an clay jar: „Come, tastes the mare's milk honey starch from Carthage, relieves thirst. This starch flavor is good, is sour and sweet, very specially. I just let accompany the Syracuse market to buy.” “年轻人,不要有这么大的火气。”安西塔诺斯稳坐着不动,温言的宽慰自己的学生,他指了指身边桌几上放着的一个陶罐:“来,尝一尝来自迦太基的马奶蜜浆水,解解渴。这浆水味道不错,又酸又甜,非常特别。我刚让随从到锡拉库扎市场买的。” „Does not drink!” Hernipolis panting in indignation sits on the wooden chair, emanation of wooden chair pain „creak” sound. “不喝！”赫尼波利斯气呼呼的一屁股坐在木椅上,木椅痛苦的发出“咯吱”的响声。 „Henie.” Ansitanos knows that the temperament of this student, pours does not think the pestle, instead to coax the tone of child saying: „You will want in the future, when the Laos archon person, working cannot depend on is spur-of-the-moment. If we Dionysius surface have not even been seeing, went back like this, the duty that not only goes abroad on a diplomatic mission has not been accomplished, will also be blamed, but also the Syracuse person will also laugh at us not to have good manners meter-” “赫尼。”安西塔诺斯知道这个学生的脾气,倒也不以为杵,反而以哄小孩的口吻说道:“你将来可是要当拉俄斯执政官的人,做事情可不能凭一时冲动。我们要是连狄奥尼修斯的面都没见着,就这样回去了,不但出使的任务没有完成,还会遭人责怪,而且锡拉库扎人也会嗤笑我们不懂礼仪-” „Is Dionysius does not have good manners obviously the meter, the interview we, how counter- did not blame us promptly!” Loud shouting that Hernipolis is not convinced, interrupted the Ansitanos words. “明明是狄奥尼修斯不懂礼仪,不及时的接见我们,怎么反来责怪我们！”赫尼波利斯不服气的大声嚷道,打断了安西塔诺斯的话。 „They can say, ‚, because is busy negotiating with Carthaginians, therefore cannot leave to receive us temporarily......’. After all regarding the Syracuse person, Carthage is much more important than our Theonia.” Ansitanos calm saying. “他们可以说,‘因为忙着跟迦太基人谈判,所以暂时抽不出身来接见我们……’。毕竟对于锡拉库扎人来说,迦太基可是比我们戴奥尼亚要重要得多。”安西塔诺斯心平气和的说道。 Hernipolis cold snort/hum, looks at Ansitanos: „Teacher, in fact Dionysius wants to treat coldly us, making Theonia lose face is right?!” 赫尼波利斯冷哼了一声,看着安西塔诺斯:“老师,实际上狄奥尼修斯就是想冷落我们,让戴奥尼亚出丑对不对？！” „If Dionysius is really such bearing narrow and small person, he cannot sit Syracuse to overstep authority the main position. Perhaps this is only he treats the different things, taking seriously the degree is different.” Ansitanos feels the somewhat gray beard, in the eye is flashing the ray of wisdom: „Therefore we do not worry, slowly...... happen to can have a look, the Theonia alliance in the Dionysius heart is what weight/quantity.” “如果狄奥尼修斯真是这样气量狭小的人,他也坐不上锡拉库扎僭主的位置。这恐怕只是他对待不同事情,重视程度不同而已。”安西塔诺斯摸着自己有些花白的胡须,眼中闪着睿智的光芒:“所以我们根本不要着急,慢慢的等……正好可以看看,戴奥尼亚联盟在狄奥尼修斯心中到底是个什么分量。” Although Hernipolis is young and impetuous, but is not the fool. On the contrary his talent is to let Ansitanos is willing to make this student attendant, go abroad on a diplomatic mission together the Syracuse reason in own side: „Good, we compare the patience with Dionysius, looked that who first cannot boil! In the afternoon, I go to the theater in city to watch the play. Jokes aside, although the Syracuse city is bigger than Thurii, the population are more than Thurii, but does not have Thurii that active vitality. Here does not have the sports match to look, without the good food can eat , can only have a look at the play.” Hernipolis teased is saying, carried the clay jar on table conveniently, filled one fiercely, then he „pū”, all spat on the ground: „This thing acid and fishy smell, were too difficult to drink, was worse than the beer are many!” 赫尼波利斯虽然年轻气盛,但不是傻子。相反他的才华是让安西塔诺斯愿意让这个学生随侍在自己身边、一起出使锡拉库扎的原因:“那好吧,我们就和狄奥尼修斯比一比耐心,看谁先熬不住！下午,我就去城里的剧场看戏剧去。说真的,锡拉库扎城虽然比图里伊大,人口比图里伊多,可是没有图里伊那种活跃的生机。这里没有球赛可看,没有美食可以吃,也就只能去看看戏剧了。”赫尼波利斯调侃的说着,顺手拎起桌上的陶罐,猛灌了一口,然后他“噗”的一声,全吐在了地上:“这东西又酸又腥,太难喝了,比啤酒差多了！” „Young people did not understand that tastes.” Ansitanos hurries with the clay jar, for fear that he spat up inside starch: „You must know, this starch is Carthaginians studies from Nummi Biya person there, underwent some small improvements, making the taste more suitable the marine sailor. In Nummi Biya, this thing may be relieves thirst to use not only, it is part of food......” “年轻人不懂得品尝。”安西塔诺斯赶紧拿过陶罐,生怕他把里面的浆水都吐光了:“你要知道,这浆水是迦太基人从努米比亚人那里学来的,又经过了一些小的改进,使得口味更加适合海上的水手。在努米比亚,这东西可不光是解渴用的,它是食物的一部分……” „What relations does Nummi Biya this have with us? Listens to your tone, as to study this race the history.” Saying that Hernipolis thinks otherwise, he thinks the comparison understands his teacher. “努米比亚这跟咱们有什么关系？听您的口气,似乎又想要研究这个种族的历史。”赫尼波利斯不以为然的说道,他自认为比较了解他的这位老师。 „It is not I, is the owner who in that house you usually in live away from home is very interested, had asked my matter about Nummi Biya repeatedly.” Ansitanos drank starch, said. “不是我,是你平日里寄住的那房子的主人对此很有兴趣,曾经多次问过我关于努米比亚的事情。”安西塔诺斯喝了一口浆水,说道。 „Do you mean Sir Davos?!” Hernipolis comes the interest immediately: „He asked that what Nummi Biya does make?! Must know that the Theonia alliance and Nummi Biya are away from the sea, Sicily and Carthage, is impossible to have any direct contact.” “您是说戴弗斯大人？！”赫尼波利斯立刻来了兴趣:“他问努米比亚做什么？！要知道戴奥尼亚联盟和努米比亚隔着海洋、西西里、迦太基,根本不可能有什么直接的接触。” Ansitanos referred to own chest, said slowly: „In this world always has such 12 individuals, stands ponders the issue in the altitude that others are unable to attain, because their here is incomparably broad.” 安西塔诺斯指了指自己的胸口,缓缓说道:“这世上总有那么一两个人,站在别人无法企及的高度来思考问题,因为他们的这里是无比广阔的。” „Sir Davos truly is very extraordinary person!” Hernipolis heartfelt saying, he remembered anything suddenly, said: „Teacher, now Carthaginians chose the truce, perhaps sees right in front of one Dionysius to be disadvantageous to us, will be more disadvantageous to Theonia!” “戴弗斯大人确实是很了不起的人！”赫尼波利斯由衷的说道,突然他想起了什么,说道:“老师,现在迦太基人选择了停战,恐怕对我们面见狄奥尼修斯不利,更会对戴奥尼亚不利！” Ansitanos appreciation looks at own student, asked: „Why?” 安西塔诺斯赞赏的看着自己的学生,问:“为什么？” Hernipolis knows that the teacher is testing himself, therefore after earnest straightening out approach, said: „ In west Mediterranean, Syracuse is most powerful Greek city-state, has actually been limited on Sicily this island, the biggest reason is Carthaginians. Carthaginians on Sicily island strong presence not only makes the Syracuse person consistently maintain the alert, repeatedly threatens its survival. Syracuse light/only coped with Carthage is very difficult, where also had the energy to care about the matter outside Sicily island. 赫尼波利斯知道老师又在测试自己,于是认真的理顺思路后,才说道:“在西地中海,锡拉库扎一直是最强大的希腊城邦,却一直被局限在西西里这个岛上,最大的原因就是迦太基人。迦太基人在西西里岛上的强大势力不但让锡拉库扎人始终保持戒备,也多次威胁到它的生存。锡拉库扎光对付迦太基就十分困难了,哪里还有精力去关心西西里岛外的事情。 But in fact, the Syracuse person is always interested in our Magna Graecia very much. I remember that dozens years ago, Syracuse overstepped authority to advocate Eilon once to have action that dispatched troops to enter Magna Graecia. However for these years, the Sicily situation and past were entirely different. The Carthage twice large-scale military actions suffered the disastrous defeat, heard that this also casualties more than 20,000 people, have to propose the truce time, perhaps it the big strength has not posed the threat to Syracuse again. ” 但实际上,锡拉库扎人一直以来就对我们大希腊就很感兴趣。我记得在几十年前,锡拉库扎僭主希埃隆就曾有过派兵进入大希腊的举动。但是这几年,西西里的局势与以往大不相同了。迦太基两次大规模的军事行动都遭到了惨败,听说这一次也伤亡了两万多人,才不得不提出停战,恐怕它已经没有多大的力量再对锡拉库扎造成威胁。” Ansitanos nods to the opinion of student expresses the applause, but he does not think that Syracuse will conduct the military action to Magna Graecia, therefore said: „Carthaginians losses defeat in it seem like that is conducting the war with the Syracuse person, in fact is resisting with the entire Greek city-state strength, how the Peloponnese union headed by Sparta, as well as Campania Naples and other city-state possibly to allow other families person to seize Sicily completely, thus shuts off the thing Mediterranean trade route, even threatens their rear areas( refers to Sparta). Believes that experienced this twice disastrous defeats, Carthaginians becomes intelligently, will not easily provoke the war in Sicily again, by it in the powerful strength of Africa, it was still the biggest threat of Syracuse.” 安西塔诺斯点头对学生的见解表示赞许,但是他并不认为锡拉库扎会对大希腊进行军事行动,于是说道:“迦太基人就败在它看似是在与锡拉库扎人进行战争,实际上是同整个希腊城邦的力量在对抗,以斯巴达为首的伯罗奔尼撒同盟、以及坎帕尼亚的拿波利等城邦怎么可能允许外族人完全占领西西里,从而切断东西地中海的贸易航路,甚至威胁它们的后方(指斯巴达)。相信经历了这两次的惨败,迦太基人会变得聪明些,不会再轻易在西西里挑起战争,以它在阿非利加的强大实力,它仍将是锡拉库扎的最大的威胁。” „You said is very right, Teacher! However, looks like at least at the present, the Syracuse strength is much stronger than Carthage, after this time they and Carthage peace talks, the matter that perhaps Carthaginians will certainly large scale drawing back to Sicily, Syracuse series Sicily be anybody will be able to watch, the near future possibly can have.” Hernipolis worried that said. “你说的很对,老师！不过,至少在现在看来,锡拉库扎的力量已经比迦太基强大得多,这一次他们与迦太基的和谈之后,恐怕迦太基人必将会大幅度的退向西西里西部,锡拉库扎一统西西里已经是任何人都看得出来的、不久的将来可能会发生的事情。”赫尼波利斯担忧地说道。 „Yes, this is our alliance then must continuously the matter of concern.” Ansitanos hesitates was saying. “是啊,这是我们联盟接下来要一直关注的问题。”安西塔诺斯沉吟着说道。 „Cannot be only the attention. I think that Dionysius will not satisfy dominates in Sicily, Dionysius is a greedy person, this is he expands the territory to initiate with the Carthage war twice on own initiative, if Sicily stabilized, perhaps he will target Magna Graecia.” “可不能只是关注。我认为狄奥尼修斯不会满足于在西西里称霸,狄奥尼修斯可是一个贪婪的人,这两次与迦太基的战争都是他主动扩大领地引发的,如果西西里稳定了,他恐怕会将目标对准大希腊。” Although Ansitanos does not approve of Hernipolis to exaggerate the war threats of Syracuse, but as a scholar, he likes debating with the student, this helps inspire his inspiration. Therefore he is knitting the brows, asks: „Why can be Magna Graecia?” 安西塔诺斯虽然不赞同赫尼波利斯夸大锡拉库扎的战争威胁,但作为一名学者,他喜欢与学生辩论,这有利于启发他的灵感。于是他皱着眉,问道:“为什么就一定会是大希腊？” „ Because south Sicily is Carthage, Dionysius does not dare to act unruly to the Carthage true territory again extremely arrogantly ; But east side, that is the Sparta sphere of influence ; The west is the Iberia peninsula, not only the range is remote, but also hears there to have the colony that many Carthaginians establish, only if Dionysius is muzzy, otherwise is impossible to tire the troops on a long expedition, made the Athens past mistake. Therefore, only possibly is north Magna Graecia, with Sicily, only then a narrow Messina channel great distance, Dionysius can in the half-day time, be able to deliver to the Magna Graecia land 100,000 armies. “因为西西里南面是迦太基,狄奥尼修斯再狂妄也不敢到迦太基真正的领地上去撒野;而东面,那是斯巴达的势力范围;西面是伊比利亚半岛,不但航程遥远,而且听说那里有不少迦太基人建立的殖民地,狄奥尼修斯除非头脑发昏,否则绝不可能劳师远征,犯雅典当年的错误。因此,只可能是北面的大希腊,和西西里只有一个狭窄的墨西拿海峡相隔,狄奥尼修斯可以在半天的时间内,就能将10万大军送到大希腊的土地上。 Moreover I think that Dionysius has to Magna Graecia the heart of saliva, otherwise he will not marry a Locri woman initially is a wife, and with Locker Li Jiemeng. Now, when he when with the Carthage combat, has not forgotten to send the spy to disrupt Theonia, his ambition to the Magna Graecia is very obvious! ” 而且我认为狄奥尼修斯早就有对大希腊的垂涎之心,否则当初他不会娶一个洛克里女人为妻,并且同洛克李结盟。如今,他在与迦太基作战时,还不忘派间谍扰乱戴奥尼亚,他对大希腊的野心已经是非常明显了！” „Henie, you are clear, having the ambition is a matter, can launch the war is a different matter. Dionysius possibly has the heart of coveting to Magna Graecia, but Magna Graecia currently has our Theonia alliance.” Ansitanos is saying, raises at heart suddenly a strange thought: If Thurii beforehand Thurii, Magna Graecia these every large or small city-state facing colossus general Syracuse, its prospect are really inconceivable. Thank Hades to send Davos, he formed the Theonia alliance, almost conformed with the Magna Graecia strength, making Dionysius have to treat regarding this cautiously! “赫尼,你要明白,有野心是一回事,能不能发动战争又是另一回事。狄奥尼修斯可能对大希腊有觊觎之心,但是大希腊现在有我们戴奥尼亚联盟。”安西塔诺斯说着,心里突然升起一个奇怪的念头:如果图里伊还是以前的图里伊,大希腊这些大大小小的城邦面对庞然大物一般的锡拉库扎,其前景真的是不堪设想。感谢哈迪斯派来了戴弗斯,他建立了戴奥尼亚联盟,几乎整合了大希腊的力量,使得狄奥尼修斯对此不得不慎重对待！ „However Syracuse the war, heard year after year the state treasury has been unable to make ends meet, the people are also unsatisfactory, for these days believes when you strolls in the city has felt, under the bad condition, Syracuse can start one to aim at the Carthage same major war with before like this? I think that is impossible. Moreover, this we come Syracuse time, is to make Dionysius know that the determination of our Theonia alliance, eliminates his impractical ambition thoroughly!” secure Shitta Ross self-confident saying. “而锡拉库扎年年战争,听说国库都已经入不敷出,民众也大为不满,这几天相信你在城里闲逛时已经感受到了,在这样的糟糕状况下,锡拉库扎能发动一场与之前针对迦太基一样的大规模战争吗？我认为是不可能的。而且,这一次我们来锡拉库扎,就是要让狄奥尼修斯知道我们戴奥尼亚联盟的决心,彻底打消他不切实际的野心！”安希塔罗斯充满自信的说道。 Hernipolis by his infection, prudent nod. 赫尼波利斯受他的感染,也慎重的点点头。 At this time, accompanied to enter the guest room, said: „Sir Ansitanos, some outside people looks for you, said that is Philistus sends.” 这时,随从走进客房,说道:“安西塔诺斯大人,外面有人找你,说是菲利斯托斯派来的。” Philistus, Dionysius high-ranking court official? Ansitanos and his student looked at each other one mutually...... 菲利斯托斯,狄奥尼修斯的重臣？安西塔诺斯和他的学生相互对视了一眼…… ................................. …………………………… Tonight Ansitanos was invited to attend the banquet that Philistus holds. 安西塔诺斯被邀请参加今晚菲利斯托斯举办的宴会。 Just to the dusk, the carriage that Philistus sent has arrived at the hotel, Ansitanos brings on Hernipolis the carriage. 刚至黄昏,菲利斯托斯派来的马车就已经来到了旅馆,安西塔诺斯带着赫尼波利斯上了马车。 The place that the Ansitanos envoy group lives is the Syracuse urban center area. The Syracuse person initial colony is mysterious raises the Guillat island, dozens years ago Dillon became the Syracuse overstepping authority lord, he leads massive immigrations to start to the inland to expand, the stretch of city of expansion is the Syracuse person present urban center area, most temples, theaters, market concentrated here. But this piece a big region had only occupied a very small part in the city that the Syracuse person expands later. 安西塔诺斯的使者团居住的地方是锡拉库扎的城市中心区。锡拉库扎人最初的殖民地是奥提吉亚岛,直到几十年前狄隆成了锡拉库扎的僭主,他带领大量的移民开始向内陆扩展,扩展的这一片城区就是锡拉库扎人现在的城市中心区,多数神庙、剧场、市场等都集中在这里。但这片本已不小的区域在随后锡拉库扎人扩张的城区中只占很小的一部分。 In overstepping authority to advocate Dillon to reign in the later dozens years, the Syracuse person extends to Northeast the city, will integrate compared with the central area big three times of regions close to the area of coast to the Syracuse city, calls it „Accra Di that”, in this stretch of coastal area also includes a rich quarry. 在僭主狄隆在位之后的几十年里,锡拉库扎人又将城区向东北延伸,将靠近海岸的一片面积比中心区大三倍的区域纳入到锡拉库扎城中,称之为“阿克拉狄那”,这一片沿海的地区中还包括一个储量丰富的采石场。
