But the newcitizenssomewhatlose, ohsoundagain and again.戴弗斯的一番话听得科尔内鲁斯及其他五人连连点头,他们都觉得戴弗斯头脑很冷静、思维很清晰,当执政官完全没有问题。而新公民们则有些失落,唉声连连。At this moment, Hielosshouted loudlyin the crowd: „Sincecannotbe the king, whenlifelongarchon always! LikeSyracuseDionysius, Syracusenot onlyhad not been hostilebysurroundingscity-state, insteadseeks the helptoSyracuse!”
就在这时,希洛斯在人群中高喊:“既然不能当国王,当终身执政官总可以吧!就像锡拉库扎的狄奥尼修斯一样,锡拉库扎不但没有被周围城邦敌视,反而向锡拉库扎寻求帮助!”„Right! Whenlifelongarchon ! Like thiswedo not needto worry that canhave the mediocrepersonto manageAmendolara!”Olivosalsofollowsto shout.
“对!就当终身执政官!这样我们就不用担心会有平庸的人来管理阿门多拉腊!”奥利弗斯也跟着喊道。„Davos, lifelongarchon !”Matonis, Giorgrisand the othersthenshouted loudly.
“戴弗斯,终身执政官!”马托尼斯、吉奥格里斯等人接着高喊。
The enthusiasm of newcitizenswas litagain.
新公民们的热情再次被点燃。Is listening to an appealsound of wavetalllikewave, in the Corneliusheartanxious, hewantsto tellunder the stagethisgrouponlyto knowmercenary who slaughters: SyracuseDionysiusby the city-statepower that the bloodyviolenceseizes, is notecclesiaelects. ButbutSyracuseMagna Graeciamost powerfulcity-state, howothercity-statedareto be hostile.
听着一浪高似一浪的呼吁声,科尔内鲁斯心中焦急,他很想告诉台下这帮只知道杀戮的雇佣兵:锡拉库扎的狄奥尼修斯是凭借血腥暴力夺取的城邦政权,并非公民大会选举出的。而锡拉库扎可是大希腊最强大的城邦,其他城邦又怎么敢对它敌视。Underebullition the tide of peoplefacing the stage, Corneliusflinchesagain, hecasts the visiontoDavosonce again, expected that thiscool-headedyoungleadercanoverrulesoldiers'unreasonable demandagain, howeverDavossaid: „Since the Amendolaracitizenschoseletmehold the post oflifelongarchon ! Iacceptyouto givemyduty, Itake an oathtoHaEmperor, will exhaust all my wisdom and abilities, leadingyouto developprosperouslyAmendolara, will giveyou a more gloriousfuture!”
面对台下沸腾的人潮,科尔内鲁斯再次退缩,他又一次向戴弗斯投去目光,期望这位头脑冷静的年轻首领能再次否决士兵们的无理要求,然而戴弗斯却说道:“既然阿门多拉腊的公民们都选择了让我担任终身执政官!我接受你们赋予我的这个职务,我对哈帝斯起誓,会用尽我所有的智慧和能力,带领你们将阿门多拉腊发展得更加繁荣富强,给你们一个更加美好的未来!”Understagecheersliketide.
台下欢声如潮。Freeman who „theseanythingdoes not understand! Theydo not know that archon meansanythinglifelong! Cornelius, youmusturgethatyoungleader!......”Listens tocompanion'sstartledcomplaintin a low voice, Corneliusto have the courageto walkto go forward: „Davos...... un...... Amendolarahas never hadlifelongarchon thisduty, thisviolated the Amendolaralaw and tradition, mustmakethemstopthisfarce!”
“这些什么都不懂的自由民!他们根本不知道终身执政官意味着什么!科尔内鲁斯,你得去劝劝那个年轻的首领!……”听着同伴惊慌的低声抱怨,科尔内鲁斯鼓起勇气走上前:“戴弗斯……嗯……阿门多拉腊从未有过终身执政官这一职务,这违反了阿门多拉腊的法律和传统,必须让他们停止这种闹剧!”Davosturns headsuddenly, flashing eyes: „Farce?! Yousaid that thisis the farce?! ecclesiais not a city-statehighestcapability mechanism! Anybillwas not necessarily put forwardbyit, butmustagreeby way ofit,canimplement, is right?! Were people who under the stageshouted loudly the Amendolaracitizens! Theycrossedhalfby far! Was proposedbythem, andpasses by ballot the resolutionto conform to the Amendolaralegal proceedingsbythem!!......”戴弗斯猛然回头,目光炯炯:“闹剧?!你说这是闹剧?!难道公民大会不是一个城邦最高的权力机构!任何法案不一定由它提出,但必须经由它同意,才能实施,对不对?!台下高呼的人们是不是阿门多拉腊的公民!他们是不是远远过了半数!由他们提出、并由他们投票通过的决议是不是符合阿门多拉腊的法定程序!!……”
The Davossoundlooks likeironpinningstoCornelius, hedefinitelyis unable to resist, response of making excuses: „But...... but......”戴弗斯的声音像一颗颗铁钉扎向科尔内鲁斯,他完全无法抵挡,支支吾吾的回应:“可是……可是……”„Youmustsaytothem,‚citizens, yourpropositionsare wrong, wewill not acknowledge!’”Davossneers , to continue to say.
“还是你要对他们说,‘公民们,你们的提议是错误的,我们不会承认!’”戴弗斯冷笑一声,继续说道。Corneliuslooks at the tide of people that under the standdense and numerous, cheered, heswallowed a saliva, subconsciousin the futurewill shrink.科尔内鲁斯看了看台下密密麻麻、欢呼雀跃的人潮,他咽了口唾沫,下意识的往后一缩。Davossneerswas sayingtoCornelius: „The ModelAthens ofGreekcity-statedemocracy after defeats, somecitizenshave had the suspicionto the democratic government, Athenscanpromote‚30overstepping authoritylords’to be in power, cannot separatewiththeirsupport, easternGreekcity-statehasmany, has startedto give up the democratic government. Amendolarahastoday'smisery, isn't the badrole that the democratic governmentplays?”戴弗斯冷笑着对科尔内鲁斯说道:“希腊城邦民主的典范-雅典战败后,部分公民就已经对民主政体产生了怀疑,雅典能推出‘三十僭主’当政,跟他们的支持分不开,东部的希腊城邦已经有不少,也已经开始放弃了民主政体。阿门多拉腊有今天的苦难,难道不是民主政体起的坏作用吗?”Davosthevoicequantityis very big, not onlyCornelius, the citizensincludingotherfivestageshearsto be very clear, allspeechless: Truly, archon Marcellusadvocated stronglydefendsLucaniansat that timein the city, opposesto leave the hometown;Butanotherarchon GlatephrofavorsmovestemporarilytoThuriigoes, but the peoplealsothereforewere divided intotwoschools. Insituation that both sideswere unyielding, somepeopledid not wait for the resolutionto achieve, mustleaveAmendolaraforcefully, theseincludedthesepeopleheaded byCornelius. Finallytoprevent the fission, the Amendolara people have tothrough the resolution, leavetogether......戴弗斯的这段话音量很大,不光科尔内鲁斯,包括其他五名台上的公民都听得很清楚,全都不禁哑然:确实,当时执政官马尔切利斯是力主在城市防御卢卡尼亚人,反对离开家乡的;而另一位执政官格拉特巴弗洛则倾向于暂时搬迁到图里伊去,而民众也因此分成了两派。在双方争执不下的情况下,部分民众不等决议达成,就强行要离开阿门多拉腊,这其中就包括以科尔内鲁斯为首的这几个人。最终为防止分裂,阿门多拉腊民众不得不通过决议,一起离开……Guiltyanddreadsto raid the heartsimultaneously, Corneliusfeels the throatto become dry, heswallowed a salivaagain, listens tothatfearfulDavosserioussaying: „You can count on that Itake an oathtoHades, yourrightsnot onlywill be maintained, will also be better!......”
愧疚和畏惧同时袭上心头,科尔内鲁斯感到喉咙发干,他再次咽了口唾沫,就听那个可怕的戴弗斯郑重的说道:“你们放心,我向哈迪斯起誓,你们的权益不但会得到维护,而且还会更好!……”
In Davos they make the commitmenttoCornelius, under the stagesomepeoplesaid: „Iagreed that Davosholds the post oflifelongarchon !”
就在戴弗斯向科尔内鲁斯他们做出承诺之时,台下有人说道:“我同意戴弗斯担任终身执政官!”„Ialsoagreed!”
“我也同意!”
......
……
The citizensexpressed the support.
公民们纷纷表示赞同。Corneliusmoves toward the onstagestep by step. Hedoes not know that thisdecisionwill causewhatconsequencetoAmendolara, heonlyknows, iftoday'sthismatterdoes not have the result, the mercenaries of becoming angry out of shamewill certainly pound a smashingthisAmendolara.科尔内鲁斯一步接一步、步履沉重地走向前台。他不知道这个决定会给阿门多拉腊带来什么后果,他只知道如果今天这件事没有结果,恼羞成怒的雇佣兵们一定会将这阿门多拉腊砸个粉碎。Without the thoughtsregrettedagainwhether„letting a wolf into the fold”Corneliusstandsby the stage, calms down, reluctantsaying: „Davosholds the post of the proposition of Amendolaraarchon to be passedlifelong, starting today, Davostakes the post ofAmendolaralifelongarchon , turns over to the deepprisonuntil the soul......”
没有心思再去后悔是否“引狼入室”的科尔内鲁斯站在台前,定了定神,勉强的说道:“戴弗斯担任阿门多拉腊终身执政官的提议获得通过,从今天起,戴弗斯出任阿门多拉腊终身执政官,直到魂归冥狱……”„for victory!”
“万胜!”„for victory!!”
“万胜!!”

……
The newcitizens under stagelook likehitbigsuccessful battlelaughcheer, formhappysea.
台下的新公民们像打了大胜仗似的纵声欢呼,形成一个欢乐的海洋。Amendolaraoriginalcitizens: Someare angry, the mouthis cursingin a low voice;Someare indifferent, as ifthis matterhas nothing to dowithoneself;Somecheerwith the newcitizenstogether......阿门多拉腊的原公民们:有的愤怒,嘴里低声咒骂着;有的漠不关心,仿佛此事与己无关;有的则同新公民们一起欢呼……
The teamofficers of someSestaandfewdifferentviewsare moved, butalsosqueezes the smilediligently.塞斯塔和极少数对此有些不同看法的队官怅然若失,但也都努力挤出笑容。Davosis with smile on the face, goes forwardwith stride, saidloudly: „Asyournewly appointedlifelongarchon , togovernAmendolarawell, Iproposed that makesCorneliusbe the rulingadjutant!”戴弗斯面带笑容,大步上前,大声说道:“作为你们新任命的终身执政官,为了更好地治理阿门多拉腊,我提议让科尔内鲁斯担任执政副官!”„Agreement!!”Not only the newcitizensinenthusiasm, manyoriginalcitizenin unisonis also shouting loudly, theythink that has the assistance of Cornelius, thisyoungandstrangelifelongarchon will at least not act unreasonably, actuallydoes not know the Corneliusmoodcrashvalley.
“同意!!”不光是正在兴头上的新公民们、就连不少原公民也齐声高呼,他们以为有科尔内鲁斯的协助,这个年轻而陌生的终身执政官至少不会乱来,却不知科尔内鲁斯的心情坠落谷底。Cornelius is not completely becauseDavoschanges the Amendolarapower structure, additionally builds the newposition, becausemainlyheplaced hopes to selectanotherarchon , even if oneyearelects, at leastcankeep in balance the Davospower, never expected thatDavosdoes not givehimthisopportunity, cancels„doublearchon ”directlyAmendolarapolitical tradition, rulingadjutantpositiononehearfrombelonging toarchon , Davosthis is to rule as a dictatorship!科尔内鲁斯并不完全是因为戴弗斯改变阿门多拉腊的权力架构,增设新的职位,主要因为原本他寄希望于选出另一个执政官,哪怕是一年一选,至少能制衡戴弗斯的权力,没想到戴弗斯根本就不给他这个机会,直接抹去“双执政官”的阿门多拉腊政治传统,执政副官这一职位一听就是从属于执政官,戴弗斯这是想独裁啊!RegardingDavos, the experience of over six monthstemperingandprevious generation, makinghisdemocratic governmentto this worldGreececity-statetoonot approve, particularlyin the time of thischaos caused by war, hethoughtself-confidentlyis headed by itself, peopleare more effective than manypeople'srulesseparatelyfor the auxiliaryrule! Alsois more powerful!
对于戴弗斯而言,半年多的磨砺和前世的见识,使他对这个世界希腊城邦的民主政体并不太认同,尤其是在这个战乱的时代,他自信地觉得以自己为首、众人为辅的统治比多人的分头统治更有效率!也更强大!Afterbeforehandanalysis and preparation, hethinks: AlthoughGreekshas the independence and freetradition, but the specificissue must regardspecifically, particularlyregardingmercenaryspecialoccupation, becausegoes on an expeditionall the year roundoutside, theywere used to the obedience, otherwiseis unable to win a battle, the soldierworships the general who leadsthemto win a battlerepeatedly, but the hugeprestige that Davosaccumulatesfor the six months, makes the soldierstrustandentrust the lifesufficiently, andafter in the experience of Persia, theyexperienced the length and breadth of Persiaempire, is not same as the viewnatureandordinaryGreeks of dictatorshiptokingZhenghe. Naturally, iftheyaftera halfyear of steadylife, electsagain, the situation will also be perhaps different.
经过事先的分析和准备,他认为:虽然希腊人都有独立和自由的传统,但具体的问题还要具体看待,尤其是对于雇佣兵这个特殊的职业,由于长年在外征战,他们习惯了服从,否则就无法打胜仗,士兵崇拜率领他们屡打胜仗的将军,而戴弗斯半年来积累的巨大声望,足以让士兵们信赖并托付生命,并且经过之前在波斯的经历,他们见识了波斯帝国的广袤,对王政和独裁的看法自然与普通希腊人不大一样。当然,如果他们经过半年的平稳生活后,再来选举,情况恐怕又会不同。Davosafter the thoroughplan, eventuallyachievedowngoal. Lifelongarchon , actuallyrules as a dictatorship the officerlifelong! Inhismemory, in the Romehistory of previous generationSullaandCaesarhad once held the post ofthisdutyprobably, becausefeared that causes the repugnance of othercity-state, he„dictatorship”will change to„rule”, byasconcealing.戴弗斯经过周密的计划,最终达成了自己的目的。终身执政官啊,其实就是终身独裁官!在他的记忆中,前世的罗马历史里苏拉、凯撒好像都曾担任过这个职务,因为怕引起其他城邦的反感,他才将“独裁”改成了“执政”,以作为掩饰。Davoslooks at the crowd that under the stageis cheering, is choked up with emotionsandthinks: Underwesternvault of heaven, the setting sunsoonset. Todaycrosses, oldAmendolarawill become the past. Tomorrow, newAmendolarawill produce......戴弗斯望着台下欢呼的人群,心潮澎湃、浮想联翩:西方的天穹下,夕阳就快要落山了。今天一过,旧的阿门多拉腊就将成为过去。明天,新的阿门多拉腊将会产生……Note: Davosin the test of bloodandfire, won the footholdforoneself, butAmendolaraintens of thousands ofMediterraneancity-stateissuchinsignificant, ifDavoswantsto realizeownlofty aspirations and high ideals, but alsohas a long way to go, butindevelopingownprocess, hewill also faceis more arduous, a more brutaltest!
注:戴弗斯在血与火的考验中,为自己赢得了立足之地,但是阿门多拉腊在成千上万的地中海城邦中是那样的微不足道,戴弗斯要想实现自己的雄心壮志,还有很长的路要走,而在发展自己的过程中,他也将面临更艰巨、更残酷的考验!Pleaseanticipationnextvolume: The firstCrotonewar
