The Syracusepersonrelaxestemporarily, simultaneouslyfeels the doubts: What is Theonianthispreparesto make?!锡拉库扎人暂时松了口气,同时又感到疑惑:戴奥尼亚人这是准备做什么？！Shortly, alsosomescoutscatch upto report: Theonianis conducting the pledge assembly, theyshouted loudly„revenge” the roarevenenabledrecruit's the peopleoutside the cityto hear.
没多久,又有探子赶来汇报:戴奥尼亚人正在进行誓师大会,他们高喊“复仇”的吼声甚至让住在城外西北边境的民众都能听到。
The congressmen are also immediately tense.
议员们顿时又紧张起来。At this time, safeflatterrootNiceproposedfinallysuggested: „, Carthaginiansbreaks through the Palagoniasmall town, killed offin the cityallTheoniasoldiers, in addition, invades the Cataniaplain, to destroywantonly, thenarouses the anger of Theoniareinforcementsinevitably, theyare the goals that Theonianmusttake revenge!
这时,泰阿根尼斯终于提出了建议:“诸位,迦太基人攻破帕拉戈尼亚小城,杀光了城里所有的戴奥尼亚士兵,再加上之前入侵卡塔尼亚平原、大肆破坏,则必然激起戴奥尼亚援军的怒火,他们才是戴奥尼亚人要复仇的目标！As forourSyracuse, butunderforcing of Carthagearmy, has todispatch troopsto attack the Theoniapledgeto helpTyndaris. Butwereadandwith the Theoniapastfriendship, did not have the trulyfull powerattack, makingTyndarisstillsafe and sound, and has not producedwhatcasualties.
至于我们锡拉库扎,只不过是在迦太基大军的胁迫下,才不得不派兵攻打戴奥尼亚盟帮陶尼斯而已。但我们念及与戴奥尼亚以往的友谊,始终没有真正全力的进攻,使得陶尼斯至今安然无恙,而且也没有产生什么伤亡。Nowweshouldthank the arrival of Theoniareinforcements, forcing the Carthagearmyto retreat, did not have the threat of Carthage, the Syracusesecuritywas guaranteed, canregain the pastpeacewithTheonia!...... ”
如今我们应该感谢戴奥尼亚援军的到来,迫使迦太基大军撤退,没有了迦太基的威胁,锡拉库扎的安全得到了保障,又能与戴奥尼亚重新恢复以往的和平了！……”Somegenerals and congressmenwere stunned: Before, formed an alliancewithCarthage, declares wartoTheonia, came fromthischiefgeneral'spropositionmainly, nowSyracuseinhismouthactuallyturns into the victim, this can also distort the facts!
一些将军和议员们愕然了:之前,同迦太基结盟、向戴奥尼亚宣战,主要来自这位首席将军的提议,如今在他的口中锡拉库扎却变成了受害者,这也太能颠倒黑白了！Butmore after peopleobtain the reminder of safeflatterrootNice, said: „Right, right, wehave not declared wartoTheonia, has not attackedTheoniadirectly, thereforedoes not have the problem of summation. Theonianshouldthankus, becausejustwehad the pastfriendship, did not have the earnestattack, delayed the attack of Carthaginians, enabledCataniato preserve.”
但更多的人得到泰阿根尼斯的提醒之后,争相说道:“没错,没错,我们从没有对戴奥尼亚宣战过,也没有直接进攻过戴奥尼亚,因此不存在求和的问题。戴奥尼亚人应该感谢我们,正因为我们心怀以往的情谊,没有认真进攻,拖延了迦太基人的进攻,才使得卡塔奈得以保全。”„Makesusmaintain the peacewithTheoniantemporarily, letsTheonianandCarthaginiansslaughtersfull power, whentheircasualtiesserious, exhausted, isourSyracuseopportunity.”
“让我们暂时与戴奥尼亚人保持和平,让戴奥尼亚人与迦太基人全力厮杀去吧,等到他们都伤亡惨重、筋疲力尽之时,就是我们锡拉库扎的机会。”
......
……„ButweseizedCamarina, controlledPatschNuse, Ithink that Theoniais impossibleto look but not see.”Somepeopleraised the objection.
“但是我们占领了卡曼利纳,控制了帕奇努斯,我想戴奥尼亚不可能对此视而不见。”有人提出异议。safeflatterrootNicedebated: „Does not attack and occupy, butis the protection, becauseSyracuseprotectedPatschNuseandCamarina, avoidsthemsufferingGela and Agrigentosuchpitifulbitter experience, theyshouldthankSyracuse, let alonetheyare not the Theoniaallied countries. Based onthis, Ithink that Theoniashouldnot have the toobigresponseregarding this, naturallythisneedourenvoysgo toCatanialobbywell......”
泰阿根尼斯却辩道:“不是攻占而是保护,正是由于锡拉库扎保护了帕奇努斯和卡曼利纳,才避免他们遭受杰拉、阿格里真托那样悲惨的遭遇,他们应该感谢锡拉库扎,更何况它们并不是戴奥尼亚的盟邦。基于此,我想戴奥尼亚对此应该不会有太大的反应,当然这需要我们的使者去卡塔奈好好的游说……”Finally, Syracusepowwowthroughproposing: Sends out the envoyto go toCatania, expressed the friendlymeaningtoTheonia, simultaneouslyinvestigated the Theonianattitude.
最后,锡拉库扎议事会通过提议:派出使者前往卡塔奈,向戴奥尼亚表达友好之意,同时探查一下戴奥尼亚人的态度。
When previoustimewith the Magonnegotiations, safeflatterrootNicegoes into actionpersonally , because hehad confidence that Carthaginianswill not be disadvantageoustohim, butregardingTheonia, heactuallydoes not daresoto pull rank, thereforeherecommendscongressmanNuse of Democratic Partywas betterto go toCatania.
上一次与玛哥谈判时,泰阿根尼斯亲自出马,是因为他有把握迦太基人不会对他不利,但是对于戴奥尼亚,他却不敢如此托大,所以他推荐了民主派的一名非常要好的议员塞柏努斯前往卡塔奈。Thisevening, whenhewaits foranxiously, the servantcomes to tellhim: „Nuseseeks an interview.”
这一晚,就在他焦急等待的时候,仆人进来告诉他:“塞柏努斯求见。”safeflatterrootNiceimmediatelyrushes to the front gate, introduced the study roomitpersonally.
泰阿根尼斯立刻赶到院门,亲自将其引进了书房。„Situation of going abroad on a diplomatic missionhow? Attitude of TheoniantoSyracusehow? Theyagreed that maintains the peacewithus?......”
“出使的情况怎么样？戴奥尼亚人对锡拉库扎的态度怎么样？他们同意和我们保持和平吗？……”
A safeflatterrootNiceanxiousappearance, self-possessedheacts like a different personwhen the powwowwith the daytime, perhapsthisis this chiefgeneral'strue the mentality...... Nuseunder the currentsituationis thinking, in the surfaceactuallydoes not dareto have the half a pointto idle, hesaid: „General, after ItoCatania, has not seenKingTheonia, butsaw the originalCataniacitylords and presentare promotedtoSiprus of GovernorSicilyit is said that heis neither cold nor hotaboutmyattitude , has not truly mentionedCamarinaandPatschNuse'smatterjust as you expected. However, resumes the friendlyrequestregardinghopeboth sides that weproposed, Siprusproposed,‚madeuspunishFarletCousse, StacyKaessandCoochYaaz, discussedagainrestored the friendlymatter.’”
泰阿根尼斯一副急切的模样,和白天在议事会时泰然自若的他判若两人,这恐怕才是这位首席将军在当前的局势下真正的心态……塞柏努斯心里想着,表面上却不敢有半分懈怠,他说道:“将军,我到卡塔奈后,并没有见到戴奥尼亚国王,但是见到了原来的卡塔奈城主、现在据说晋升为西西里总督的西普洛斯,他对我的态度不冷不热,也确实正如你所料的,没有提及卡曼利纳、帕奇努斯的事。不过,对于我们提出的希望双方恢复友好的要求,西普洛斯却提出,‘让我们处罚法莱库斯、斯泰西科斯和库奇亚斯,再来谈恢复友好的事。’”„PunishesFarletCousse, StacyKaessandCoochYaaz, why?”AlthoughsafeflatterrootNicedetected the reasonindistinctly, butstillraised the question.
“处罚法莱库斯、斯泰西科斯和库奇亚斯,为什么？”泰阿根尼斯虽然隐约察觉到了原因,但仍旧提出了疑问。„General, howyouforgot, wastheirseveralleads the armyto besiegeTyndaris, butTyndariswas the Theoniaallied country, Theonianaturallymustforitover!”Nusereminded.
“将军,你怎么忘了,是他们几个率领军队围攻了陶尼斯,而陶尼斯是戴奥尼亚的盟邦,戴奥尼亚当然要为它出头！”塞柏努斯提醒道。Initially, TyrerootNiceled the armyto attackCamarina, thencompelledto fallPatschNuse, thenalsosuccessfullynegotiatedwithCarthaginians, thusobtained the greatestprestige. The generals who thislets the independentfeel the envy, thereforein the followingmilitary action, occupiesmostthemstronglyto requestto hold the post ofseriesarmygeneralat the generalexecutive committee. safeflatterrootNicedoes not wantto get into a deadlockwith the generals of independentat the same time, on the other handheconsidered that the followingwarisCarthaginiansmakes the leadership, the Syracusearmyis onlyauxiliary, withoutmanyadvantagemayfish. Thereforehechosemaking concessions.
当初,泰尔根尼斯率领军队突袭卡曼利纳,接着又逼降帕奇努斯,然后又与迦太基人成功谈判,从而获得莫大声望。这让中立派的将军们感到嫉妒,所以在接下来的军事行动中,在将军执行委员会中占多数的他们强烈要求担任统军将领。泰阿根尼斯一方面不想与中立派的将军们闹僵,另一方面他考虑到接下来的战争是迦太基人做主导,锡拉库扎军队只是辅助,没有多少好处可捞。所以他选择了退让。At this momentlistens toNuse'swords, in the safeflatterrootNiceheartto feelseveralpoints of luck, makeshimfall into the thinking.
此刻听完塞柏努斯的话,泰阿根尼斯心中感到几分侥幸,同时也让他陷入思索中。„General.”Nusecollects the firstseveralsteps, saidin a low voice: „Thisis a good opportunity! FarletCoussetheyare wresting away the committeemanyyears, gaveyouto makeso manytroublesome, serioushindrancesupportedyourpersonto enter the committee, nowperhapssolvesthistroublesomegood opportunity......”
“将军。”塞柏努斯凑前几步,低声说道:“这是一个好机会！法莱库斯他们霸占着委员会多年,给你制造了那么多麻烦,严重阻碍支持你的人进入委员会,现在或许正是解决这个麻烦的好机会……”safeflatterrootNicecatches the eyeto visithim: „ButTheonianhad not said after punishingFarletCoussethem, restoreswithSyracusein a friendly way.”
泰阿根尼斯抬眼看着他:“可戴奥尼亚人并没有说处罚法莱库斯他们之后,就与锡拉库扎恢复友好。”„Buttheyhave not displayed the obviousevil intentiontous, must always try.”Nusecontinuesto persuade.
“但他们也没有对我们表现出明显的恶意嘛,总是要试一试的。”塞柏努斯继续劝说道。safeflatterrootNicehas not reactedfor a while, ponderedsome little time, hesitantsaying: „Mustbe careful that Theonianis playing the clever trick!...... This...... tomorrow, at the powwow, besideswill go abroad on a diplomatic mission the Cataniasituationto sayyoutruthfully, otheranythingdo not say,Iwill also informourpeoplefirstdo not speakbeforehandcasually, has a look at others 'sresponses, thenmakes the plan......”
泰阿根尼斯一时没做回应,沉思了好一会儿,才犹豫的说道:“要小心戴奥尼亚人在耍诡计啊！……这样吧……明天,在议事会上,除了将你出使卡塔奈的情况如实说出来之外,其他什么也不要多说,我也会事先通知我们的人先不要随便发言,看看其他人的反应,再做打算……”.............................................
………………………………………Next day, at the Syracusepowwow, after Nusesaid the request of Theonia, the entireconference siteclamored.
第二天,在锡拉库扎的议事会上,等塞柏努斯说出戴奥尼亚的要求之后,整个会场大哗。CoochYaazfirstjumpsbreathless, accusingthisis an absurdrequest.
库奇亚斯首先气急败坏的跳出来,指责这是一个荒谬的要求。
The congressmen of someindependentsalsoexpressed the explicitopposition, thinks that thiswasto the Syracuseshame.
一些中立派的议员们也表示明确反对,认为这是对锡拉库扎的羞辱。Naturallyalsosomepeopleproposed: For the Syracusebenefit, FarletCousseand othergeneralswere selectedto put in great inconveniencealsono, adopts a stancein any case, makingTheoniasatisfy, thenSyracusecanavoid the Theoniasoldier/weaponfront.
当然也有人提出:为了锡拉库扎的利益,法莱库斯等几位将军受点委屈也没什么,反正只是摆出一个姿态,让戴奥尼亚满意,那么锡拉库扎就能避开戴奥利亚的兵锋。A few congressmenfromharborPopularesexpressed the support.
少数来自港口平民派的议员对此表示了赞同。both sidesdebate unceasingly.
双方争论不休。Democratic Partyheaded bysafeflatterrootNicehas been looking on.
以泰阿根尼斯为首的民主派则一直在旁观。Quickly when tonoon, the powwowobtains the newssuddenly: In the city the peoplepresented a bigpanic and change!
快到中午时,议事会突然得到消息:城内民众出现了不小的恐慌和异动！Originally, in the cityin the peoplespreads the rumorsuddenly: The Theoniatens of thousandsarmieswill soon cometo attackSyracuse, such direconsequenceis causedbysafeflatterrootNice! Herequests‚to form an alliancewithCarthageforcefully, declares warwithTheonia’, will enrageTheonian, retreating of aloneCarthaginiansnogood faithfinallyherelies on, makingSyracusebe in danger, safeflatterrootNicemustbe responsible for this reason! ButpunishessafeflatterrootNice, thenpossiblyquells the Theoniananger......
原来,城内民众中突然传出谣言:戴奥尼亚的几万大军即将前来进攻锡拉库扎,这样可怕的后果是由泰阿根尼斯造成的！正是他强行要求‘与迦太基结盟,同戴奥尼亚宣战’,才会激怒戴奥尼亚人,结果他所依赖的迦太基人毫无信义的独自撤退,让锡拉库扎陷入危险之中,泰阿根尼斯必须要为此负责！而惩处泰阿根尼斯,则可能平息戴奥尼亚人的愤怒……
The rumorspreads overin the cityquickly, the peoplegatherdiscusses spiritedly.
谣言很快传遍城内,民众聚集在一起议论纷纷。ThisnewsmakesDemocratic Partybe startled, particularlysafeflatterrootNice, heknows, ifthismatterprocessingis not good, will have very tremendous effect on ownprestige, thereforeheproposedadjournstemporarily, firstsent peopleto comfort the people.
这一消息让民主派大吃一惊,尤其是泰阿根尼斯,他知道如果这件事处理不好,对自己的威望会有非常大的影响,于是他提议暂时休会,先派人去安抚民众。Butat this time, FarletCousseand the othersexpressed the opposition, particularlyCoochYaaz'sangrypointing out: „If wantsto subside the Theoniananger, mostshouldpunishissafeflatterrootNice, becausehecreatesall thesechief criminals! Moreoveras the Syracusechiefgeneral, henot onlydoes not havecompletelyto arrive atownresponsibility, gives back toSyracuseto bring the disaster, does not matchholds the post ofthissacreddutyagain!......”
但这时,法莱库斯等人却表示了反对,尤其是库奇亚斯愤怒的指出:“如果要想平息戴奥尼亚人的怒火,最应该处罚的就是泰阿根尼斯,因为他是造成这一切的罪魁祸首！而且作为锡拉库扎的首席将军,他不但没有尽到自己的职责,还给锡拉库扎带来灾难,不配再担任这个神圣的职务！……”CoochYaaz'swordscause the stir.
库奇亚斯的一番话激起轩然大波。Democratic Partyheaded bysafeflatterrootNicecandeterminenow: The rumor in city is extremely possible, toachieve the shift that isFarletCousse they make contradictory, to attack the safeflatterrootNiceprestige the goal.
以泰阿根尼斯为首的民主派现在更可以确定:城内的谣言极可能是法莱库斯他们所制造的,以达到转移矛盾、打击泰阿根尼斯威望的目的。Therefore, safeflatterrootNicefirstlaunches an attack, attacksFarletCousseand the others, otherdemocratsalsoget upto back upone after another.
于是,泰阿根尼斯首先发难,抨击法莱库斯等人,其他民主派人士也相继起来帮腔。FarletCousseand other independentgenerals and congressmendo not dareto show weakness, accusesDemocratic Party.
法莱库斯等中立派将军和议员也不敢示弱,纷纷指责民主派。Alsocalculates the orderedconference sitearguedto turn into the intensequarrel, particularlyFarletCoussehas been discontentedwithsafeflatterrootNice, aimed atwinning over that the independentmadesecretly, to estrange, buyand other dirtymatters11to shake the revealsafeflatterrootNicesimplyin more than one year to come out.
原本还算有序的会场争辩变成了激烈的争吵,尤其是法莱库斯早就对泰阿根尼斯不满,干脆将泰阿根尼斯这一年多来针对中立派暗地里所做的拉拢、离间、收买等龌龊事一一抖露出来。safeflatterrootNicealsorefuses to admit being inferior, accusesFarletCousseand other independentsduringoneselfare the chiefgeneral, joins upto push asidetooneself, as well astheyintimidate themselvessecretlyandtheyunite, commonsuppressionharborPopulares......
泰阿根尼斯同样不甘示弱,指责法莱库斯等中立派在自己担任首席将军期间,联合起来对自己排挤,以及他们暗地里威逼自己与他们联合,共同打压港口平民派……In the conference sitescolded the soundday after day, absolutelydid not have the order, evenbyrailingwas turned intothrashing.
会场内骂声连天,完全没有了秩序,甚至由谩骂变成了厮打。FewharborPopularescongressman'sunemotionalhands tiedonlookingheaded by Shick Tass.
只有以希克塔斯为首的极少数港口平民派议员面无表情的束手旁观。Finally, the conferencehas not reachedanyagreement, buthas tobreak upahead of time.
最终,会议没达成任何协议而不得不提前散会。Shortly, in the conference site the matter of spread over the entireSyracusecity, affected the people in city. Under the instigation of person with high aspirations, the fans of independentstartto cursefalse of safeflatterrootNice, anddeclared: The powwowshouldpunishhim to subside the war.
没多久,会场内发生的事情就传遍了整个锡拉库扎城,也影响到了城内的民众。在有心人的煽动之下,中立派的拥趸们开始大骂泰阿根尼斯的虚伪,并且宣称:议事会应该处罚他以平息战争。ButsupportssafeflatterrootNice the view of people opposite, thereforeboth sidesargue, andthen the evolutionis the conflict.
而拥护泰阿根尼斯的民众的看法恰好相反,双方因此发生争执,并进而演化为冲突。
