Anxious waiting Theonia council final decision of Isocrates in a conference hall spacious lounge. 伊索克拉底在议事堂里面的一间宽敞的休息厅里焦急的等待戴奥尼亚元老院最终的决定。 Soon, the guard comes, asking him to go to the conference site. 不久,卫兵就进来,请他前往会场。 When he enters the conference site, discovered that the conference site center is standing Theonia archon Davos. 当他走进会场时,发现会场中央站着戴奥尼亚的执政官戴弗斯。 Davos smiles to him, after hinting asked him to sit down, Davos smiles to him was saying: „The honored Athens envoy, was very happy that you brought the friendship of Mediterranean great city-state Athens to Theonia alliance, made stop continuing situated in Greek world remote corner us from sorrow self-blame, because in Athens playwright Aristophanes new opera «Theonian», our Theonian was treated as the barbarian to seek pleasure for the Athens people......” 戴弗斯向他微笑,示意请他坐下之后,戴弗斯微笑着对他说道:“尊贵的雅典使者,很高兴你带来了地中海伟大的城邦雅典对戴奥尼亚联盟的友好情谊,才使得处于希腊世界偏僻角落的我们停止了继续自哀自怨,因为在雅典剧作家阿里斯托芬的新剧《戴奥尼亚人》中,我们戴奥尼亚人可是被当做野蛮人供雅典民众取乐……” Such remarks, Isocrates shouted one secretly: „Was bad.” 此言一出,伊索克拉底就暗叫一声:“坏了。” Really, behind his hearing some people get angry shouted: „Athenians has what right to shame our Lucanians!” 果然,他就听到后面有人怒喊:“雅典人有什么权利羞辱我们卢卡尼亚人！” „They are shaming Lucanians not only, they are shaming all Theonia citizens!” Another person gets angry shouted. “他们不光是在羞辱卢卡尼亚人,他们是在羞辱所有的戴奥尼亚公民！”又一个人怒喊。 „If Athenians holds such attitude to regard us, then here does not welcome Athenians!” “如果雅典人都是抱着这样的态度来看待我们,那么这里不欢迎雅典人！” ...... …… One after another angry sound to sitting pounds in front Isocrates, making him feel that oneself behind seems the volcano that will soon erupt, his complexion somewhat changed. 一个接一个愤怒的声音向坐在前面的伊索克拉底砸来,让他感觉自己身后仿佛就是一座即将喷发的火山,他的脸色都有些变了。 Davos looks at his embarrassment , to continue saying: „ Isocrates, you said that Athens and Theonia friendship is deep, this cannot light/only say orally, needs to look at the practical action. But now the Athens according to our knowledge actual situation makes us unable to see the friendship of Athenians to Theonia, what seen is only the Athens entire city's people's and other Greek city-state different characteristics to some of emerging city-state alliance conducts the brutal ridicule and taunting, even can become the subject that the Athens city restaurant drinks to add to the fun for successive several months, this was not one once said that was ‚the entire Greek best school’, has the long history traditional city-state proper performance! Also is not one said that the performance that to Theonia harbors profound sentiments, to want with it to form an alliance city-state that should make! 戴弗斯看着他的窘态,继续说道:“伊索克拉底,你说雅典和戴奥尼亚情谊深厚,这不能光在口头说说,需要看实际的行动。而现在据我们了解的雅典的实际情况让我们看不到雅典人对戴奥尼亚的友谊,看到的只是雅典全城的民众对一个新兴城邦联盟的一些与其他希腊城邦不同的特点进行无情的嘲笑和挖苦,甚至能够连续几个月成为雅典城餐馆喝酒助兴的谈资,这不是一个曾经自称是‘全希腊最好的学校’、具有悠久历史传统的城邦应有的表现！也不是一个自称对戴奥尼亚怀有深情厚意、想要与之结盟的城邦所应该做出的表现！ Therefore, Theonia citizens not when facing powerful enemy, felt relieved gives to discriminate against own city-state own back. Therefore concludes the matter of military alliance, I look discuss now also too early. ” 因此,戴奥尼亚的公民们是不会在面对强敌的时候,放心的将自己的后背交给一个歧视自己的城邦的。所以缔结军事同盟的事,我看现在谈还为时太早。” Damn Aristophanes! Damn Aristophanes! Isocrates is unable to change in innumerable cursing at heart forms an alliance the reality of failure, depressed his wish stands, attempts to make the final effort. 该死的阿里斯托芬！该死的阿里斯托芬！伊索克拉底在心里无数次的咒骂也无法改变结盟失败的现实,沮丧的他想要站起来,企图做最后的努力。 Front Davos beckons with the hand toward him, hints him do not interpose, then said: „Although present Thurii is not once Thurii, Theonia alliance with a Athens not relation, but Theonian is not the ungrateful race, our gratitude and grudges are distinct, others give our enmity, our ten times present, benevolence that others give, our ten times of returns-” 前方的戴弗斯朝他摆手,示意他不要插话,然后说道:“虽然现在的图里伊已经不是曾经的图里伊,戴奥尼亚联盟更是跟雅典没有一丝联系,但是戴奥尼亚人绝不是忘恩负义的种族,我们恩怨分明,别人给我们的仇,我们十倍奉还,别人给予的恩情,我们十倍回报-” Right that „Sir archon said! Taranto once when we were difficult form an alliance with us, therefore we sent out the army, saved their city-state! Thurii once gave the Sir at the beginning your mercenaries foothold, therefore threatens the border facing the Crotone army, we have not submitted, instead with one a Thurii person who won for dying has revenged! Theonia regards the commitment is the life, treasures the friendship of paying, therefore the friendship cannot light permits!” Scambras this old man is vibrating the gray beard, head high, chest out, is shooting a look at Isocrates slantingly, exhibits one „the Theonia friendship to be extremely precious, was really cheap you” arrogant facial expression. “执政官大人说的对！塔兰托姆曾在我们困难的时候与我们结盟,所以我们派出大军,拯救了他们的城邦！图里伊曾经在最初的时候给予了大人你的雇佣军立足之地,所以面对克罗托内大军压境,我们也没有屈服,反而用一场大胜为死去的图里伊人报了仇！戴奥尼亚视承诺为生命,珍惜付出的友谊,所以友谊不能轻许！”斯康姆布拉斯这个老头抖动着花白胡须,昂首挺胸,斜瞥着伊索克拉底,摆出一副“戴奥尼亚的友谊极其珍贵,真是便宜了你们”的高傲神情。 Davos smiles , to continue saying: „The center of Theonia alliance , since Thurii, we also naturally inherited some emotions of beforehand Thurii people, we are willing with the Athens friendly exchanges, to improve the exchange, to eliminate misunderstanding......” 戴弗斯笑了笑,继续说道:“戴奥尼亚联盟的中心既然是在图里伊,我们也自然承继了以前的图里伊民众的部分情感,我们愿意与雅典友好往来,加强交流,以消除彼此间的误解……” Isocrates hears here, understood Davos and meanings of other council senior statesmen: Besides the military alliance, Theonia is willing friendly to be together with Athens. Strengthens the exchange of trade and culture, as if not too in a big way distinguishes with the core meaning that former he spoke. 伊索克拉底听到这里,明白了戴弗斯及其元老院其他元老的意思:除了军事同盟以外,戴奥尼亚愿意与雅典友好相处。加强贸易和文化的交流,似乎与之前的他演讲的核心意思并无太大区别。 But Isocrates understands that the difference is significant, at first if Isocrates occupies a commanding position as Athens elder brother discussed the cooperation, but now Theonian actually graceful steps on in his bone noblly in the under foot, instead told him: The Theonia friendship is extremely precious, can bestow a point to Athens, but must look at the performance of Athens...... 但伊索克拉底明白差别是明显的,如果说伊索克拉底最初是以一个雅典老大哥的身份居高临下的来谈合作,而现在戴奥尼亚人却将他骨子里的这份优雅高贵踩在脚下,反而告诉他:戴奥尼亚的友谊是极其珍贵的,可以施舍一点给雅典,但要看雅典的表现…… Can sit in the archon position, created today's Theonia single-handedly, this young people are not simple! Isocrates looks at front Davos, felt the pressure...... 能坐在执政官的位置上,一手缔造了今天的戴奥尼亚,这个年轻人不简单啊！伊索克拉底看着前方的戴弗斯,感觉到了压力…… .................................... ……………………………… Isocrates while the Theonia council speech, Ansitanos brought Lysias to arrive at the Nike square north side, here had a recently completed construction, the semblance seemed like a temple, under the stair was nine Muse goddesses bronze statues, set up in an array. 伊索克拉底在戴奥尼亚元老院演讲的同时,安西塔诺斯则带着吕西亚斯来到了胜利广场的北侧,这里有一栋新建成的建筑,外表看起来像是一座神殿,台阶下是九位缪斯女神的青铜雕像,一字排开。 „Is the Apollo temple?” Lysias doubts looks to Ansitanos. “难道是阿波罗神殿？”吕西亚斯疑惑的看向安西塔诺斯。 Ansitanos as before is a face mysterious smile, but does not open the mouth. 安西塔诺斯依旧是一脸神秘的微笑,但就是不开口。 Lysias brings more and more thick curiosity, walks up the stair, finally discovers several gigantic letters on the lintel of temple entrance „library”. 吕西亚斯带着越来越浓的好奇,走上台阶,终于在神殿入口的门楣上发现几个硕大的字母“图书馆”。 „Is this?” Lysias roughly can guess correctly this building the function, but big is such construction only used to put the book? So many books? “这是？”吕西亚斯大致能猜到这座建筑的功用了,但是这么大的建筑只用来放书？有那么多的书吗？ He has doubts looks again to Ansitanos, hopes that he can explain. 他疑惑的再次看向安西塔诺斯,希望他能说明。 „This is our archon Sir Davos takes the lead the donation construction library!” Ansitanos proud points at that several characters saying: „He had said that ‚books are the gems of human brain, no matter Persia, Egypt and Carthage, the history and civilization that earlier beforehand Sumerian, Hittites and Assyria...... they make gather in the writing and books finally, it is our human common wealth, is we are separated from ignorantly, the steps of trend splendid civilization, therefore we must completely all efforts collect them! Protects them! If these treasures ruin by the war and disaster, that will be our human most deeply grieved loss! However we must collect the books not only, but must share and read to more people these books, making Theonia people improve itself, to create the wealth and to create a more magnificent culture with the knowledge with the knowledge with the knowledge, this is I must construct the significance of library to be at!’” “这是我们执政官戴弗斯大人带头捐款修建的图书馆！”安西塔诺斯自豪的指着那几个字说道:“他曾经说过,‘书籍是人类智慧的宝石,不管是波斯、埃及、迦太基,还是更早之前的苏美尔、赫梯、亚述……它们所创造的历史和文明最终都汇聚在文字和书籍上,它是我们人类共同的财富,是我们脱离蒙昧、走向更灿烂文明的阶梯,所以我们要尽一切的努力来收藏它们！保护好他们！如果这些珍宝被战争与灾害毁掉,那将是我们人类最惨痛的损失！但是我们不光要收藏书籍,还要把这些书籍给更多的人去分享和阅读,让戴奥尼亚的人们用知识完善自己、用知识去创造财富、用知识去创造更辉煌的文化,这就是我要建图书馆的意义所在！’” The Lysias hear, day-dreams, mutters said: „Can say the person of such great language surely is a great person!” 吕西亚斯听完,悠然神往,喃喃说道:“能说出这样伟大的语言的人必定是一个伟大的人！” Ansitanos smiles secretly. 安西塔诺斯暗暗一笑。 „Leads me to go to have a look quickly!” Lysias impatient wants, was blocked by the entrance guard. “快带我进去看看！”吕西亚斯迫不及待的想要进去,被门口的守卫拦住。 „This is my friend, he comes with me, must go to visit.” Ansitanos is busy at going forward to explain. “这是我的朋友,他跟我来的,要进去参观一下。”安西塔诺斯忙上前说明。 „Good, Sir Ansitanos.” Guards respectful saluting. “好的,安西塔诺斯大人。”守卫恭敬的行礼。 „The place of preserve knowledge also has the military force unexpectedly!” Lysias walks toward, while ill-humored saying. “储藏知识的地方居然还有武力！”吕西亚斯一边往里走,一边没好气的说道。 „Books are precious, is frail, a fire can ruin them completely, naturally needs some people to defend, to prevent to happen accidentally/surprisingly.” Ansitanos answered. “书籍是珍贵的,也是脆弱的,一把火就可以将它们全部毁掉,当然需要有人保卫,以防止意外发生。”安西塔诺斯解释道。 Lysias showed the understanding, he of calming down also said: „It seems like here is not the casual what people can enter.” 吕西亚斯表示了理解,消了气的他又说道:“看来这里也不是随便什么人都能进的。” „Only the Theonia citizen and preparation citizen can enter.” “只有戴奥尼亚公民和预备公民才能进。” „As the matter stands, the Theonia freeman were also many to become the power of citizen.” Lysias stayed here nearly two days, calculates that understood the Theonia citizen, the disparity of right prepares among the citizen and freeman to enjoy big, but this disparity is not ineffaceable, like Athens, diligently, does not might as well span that gap between Athenians and foreigner even again. “这样一来,戴奥尼亚的自由民又多了一条要成为公民的动力。”吕西亚斯在这里呆了近两天,也算了解了戴奥尼亚公民、预备公民、自由民之间所享受的权利的差距有多大,不过这种差距并不是不能消除的,不像雅典,就算再努力,也无妨跨越雅典人和外邦人之间的那道鸿沟。 „The Thurii Theonia citizen fears 40,000-50,000 people, if supports into this library, can hold under?” Asking of Lysias doubts. “图里伊的戴奥尼亚公民恐怕有40,000-50,000人吧,要是都拥入这间图书馆,能容纳得下吗？”吕西亚斯疑惑的问道。 „Your worried that we have considered. First, the quality of Theonia citizen has not been the degree that everyone can be literate ; Next, they are impossible to appear at the same time here, even if must enter the citizen in library is too many, stipulation that some library still population limit, but now looks like, has such situation perhaps also many years later. By that time, perhaps Theonia has second and third and fourth library......” in the Ansitanos words to brim with the self-confidence of own alliance. “你的担忧我们早就考虑到了。首先,戴奥尼亚公民的素质还没有达到人人都能识字的程度;其次,他们也不可能在同一时间出现在这里,就算要进入图书馆的公民太多,图书馆也有人数限制的规定,不过现在看来,出现这样的情况恐怕也得好多年之后。到那时,说不定戴奥尼亚已经有了第二座、第三座、第四座图书馆……”安西塔诺斯的话语里洋溢着对自己联盟的自信。 Lysias was silent, but is quick he to be attracted by the present scene: Rows of big wooden cabinet neat placing in the hall, the big spatial cutting will only supply the aisle that 34 people pass abreast in row. Each wooden cabinet is open, was separated rectangles by planks the small space, inside is placing volumes of books or the materials that become by the straw paper or parchment assembling. But has a region in the front of these book shelves, is placing many wooden tables, only then few people sit there peaceful reading. 吕西亚斯沉默了,但很快他就被眼前的景象所吸引:一排排高大的木柜整齐的摆放在馆内,将偌大的空间切割成一条仅供三四人并排通过的走道。每一个木柜是开放的,被一条条木板分隔成一个个长方形的小空间,里面摆放着一卷卷由莎草纸或者羊皮纸拼装而成的书籍或资料。而在这些书柜的前方有一片区域,摆放着很多木桌,只有寥寥几人坐在那里安静的看书。 Is addicted to the book such as Lysias of life to look at two to straighten, is out of control saying: „Unexpectedly so many books!” 嗜书如命的吕西亚斯看得两眼发直,禁不住说道:“竟然有这么多的书！” „Actually are not many, the following book shelf is mostly spatial, after all the library is completed is less than 20 days.” Ansitanos somewhat sigh with emotion saying: „Sir Davos once summoned that the Theonia citizen puts out the book collection of family/home, making the library transcribe one, depositing here, and must to offer the citizen of books sets up the stele carving name. At that time, the citizen who the response summoned were many, the copyists in library were unbearably busy......” “其实并不多,后面的书柜大多都是空的,毕竟图书馆才落成不到20天。”安西塔诺斯有些感慨的说道:“戴弗斯大人曾号召戴奥尼亚的公民拿出自己家的藏书,让图书馆抄写一份,存放在这里,并且还要为奉献书籍的公民树碑刻名。当时,响应号召的公民很多,以至于图书馆的抄写员们都忙不过来了……” Looks following the direction of Ansitanos finger, Lysias sees left side of the library entrance to stand erect several steles, before he considered only to look at the front, neglected unexpectedly. 顺着安西塔诺斯手指的方向看去,吕西亚斯看到图书馆入口左侧竖立着几个石碑,之前他只顾看前方,竟然忽略了。 On stele dense and numerous is carving the personal name. 石碑上密密麻麻的刻着人名。 Lysias notices, only then behind the first name writes the book title: „This...... this...... this is-” his unbelievable is stroking that book title. 吕西亚斯注意到,只有第一个名字后面写着书名:“这……这……这是-”他难以置信的抚摸着那个书名。
