In the evening, the Amendolaracouncilcandlelightis brightly lit.
晚上,阿门多拉腊元老院烛火通明。Davos, Cornelius, beforeandCorneliuswithstandingfivewell known the citizensonstage, hadSesta, Adrien, headed byKapusandAntoniosChiefeven/including, evenDavosalsopersisted incallingHerpus, Mersis, Ledes, Asistesas well asvariousplatoon commanders, dozenspeoplewere assemble, discussed the Amendolarareconstructionmatters concerned.戴弗斯、科尔内鲁斯、之前与科尔内鲁斯同站在台上的五位有名望的公民、还有塞斯塔、阿德里安克斯、以卡普斯、安东尼奥斯为首的连队长们,甚至戴弗斯还坚持叫来了赫尔普斯、梅尔西斯、莱德斯、亚西斯特斯以及各分队长,几十人齐聚一堂,商议阿门多拉腊的重建事宜。Asonlylifelongarchon DavosonnaturalbecomescouncilPrinceps senatus, sitsin the circularassembly hallcenter: „Citizen, the Amendolarareconstructionbusinessis many, the time press, we must first completetoelecting of Congressmancouncilmake up.”
作为唯一终身执政官的戴弗斯就自然的成为了元老院首席元老,坐在圆形会议厅的正中:“诸位公民,阿门多拉腊的重建工作事务繁多,时间紧迫,我们首先要完成对元老院议员的选补。”Davoslookgravesaying: „council, as the Amendolaracity-stateimportantcapability mechanism, hasin the city-statecitizenmost experiencedand most full of wisdomelitecomposition, itupwardtoarchon proposed that suggestionandadvice, the candidate who andelectseachhigh-levelgovernment official, authorizesforarchon , supervises the operation of city-statedownward, from the verificationfinanceto the moralcustom of citizenand otheraspects, andhasto propose the power of bill. The city-statehigh-levelgovernment officialalsoselectsfromCongressmancouncil, therefore the councilsenior statesman must havecertainadministrative capacity, this pointoncewasas, is goodbecause of the Amendolarapopulation that you of mercenarylackare not many, youwantearnestlystudiesfrom the practice, andconsultstoCorneliustheirtheserespectedoldcitizensmodestly......”戴弗斯神色庄重的说道:“元老院,作为阿门多拉腊城邦重要的权力机构,是有城邦公民中最有经验、最有智慧的精英组成,它向上对执政官提出建议和劝告,并推选各个高级官吏的候选人,供执政官批准,向下监督城邦的运行,从审核财务到公民的道德风俗等各个方面,并有提出法案的权力。城邦的高级官吏也是从元老院议员中选出,因此元老院元老还必须具备一定的行政管理能力,这一点是曾经作为雇佣兵的你们所缺乏的,好在阿门多拉腊人口并不多,你们要认真的从实践中学习,并虚心地向科尔内鲁斯他们这些受人尊敬的老公民请教……”
A 20-year-oldyouthin the frontself-importantinstruction, onegroup of 30-40 years oldmenin the behindearnestnod, those images and scenesdoes not makeCorneliusfeelfunny, whatmakinghimbe startled: This came from a Thessalyremotevillageit is said that has livedin the city the young people is never so familiarwith the Amendolaracity-statepolitical structure, is really the so-calledHadesgodopens?!
一个20岁的青年在前面老气横秋的教诲,一群三四十岁的男人在后面认真的点头,此情此景并不让科尔内鲁斯感到好笑,令他吃惊的是:这位据说来自塞萨利一位偏僻村庄的、从未在城市里生活过的年轻人对阿门多拉腊城邦的政治架构如此熟悉,难道真是所谓的哈迪斯的神启?!HeneglectsDavos that intendsorhas no intentionto tamperto the part the councilfunction.
恍惚间,他有意还是无意的忽略了戴弗斯将元老院的职能给部分篡改了。„NowIproposeCornelius, Tritodemos, Stromboli, Scambras and Raphiassixartificialcouncilsenior statesmen.”
“现在我提议科尔内鲁斯、特里托德摩斯、斯特隆波里、斯康姆布拉斯、拉斐亚斯六人为元老院元老。”Except that before Cornelius, is the councilsenior statesman, otherfivepeopleare not, Davosbeforethemgiveseffort that the mercenaries and platformmake, gave the return, fulfillsowncommitment. BesidesCornelius, looks the happy expression that otherfivepeopledo not control self.
除了科尔内鲁斯之前就是元老院元老,其余五人并不是,戴弗斯为他们之前给雇佣军和自己站台所付出的努力,给予了回报,同时也是履行自己的承诺。除了科尔内鲁斯外,其他五人都不自禁的面露喜色。„Agreement!” The teamofficers in conference siteraised the hand, theydo not follow blindlyDavos, is the guiltypsychology: Occupiedothersplace, seizedotherspower, mustcompensate.
“同意!”会场里的队官们都举起了手,他们并非完全是盲从戴弗斯,也是出于愧疚心理:占了人家的地,夺了人家的权,怎么也得补偿一下。„Sesta, AdrienandDrakosas the leader of mercenaries, shouldentercouncil.”Davoscontinuesto say.
“塞斯塔、阿德里安克斯、德拉科斯作为雇佣军的首领,应该进入元老院。”戴弗斯继续说道。„Agreement!”Not is only the teamofficersis raising handto express the opinion, the senior statesman of newpromotealsostartedto exercise the responsibility.
“同意!”不但是队官们在举手表示意见,新晋的元老也开始行使职责。At this time, SestawhisperedseveralwithAdrien, stood, arrived at the center of conference site, saidloudly: „AdrienandDrakosentrustedmetoeveryonepresent, particularlySirarchon expressedgratitude! Wearrive atMagna Graecia, originallyis only thinkingmaking money, maintains the livelihood, has not thought that canbecome the Amendolaracitizenunexpectedly, has not thought that can also entercouncil! ThisisSirarchon andeveryonepresentgivesourkindness, wenotthink the report, will certainlycontributeowncomplete strengthforAmendolara!”
这时,塞斯塔跟阿德里安克斯低语了几句,站起来,走到会场的中央,大声说道:“阿德里安克斯、德拉科斯委托我向在座的各位,尤其是执政官大人表示感谢!我们来到大希腊,本来只想着挣些钱,维持生计,没想到竟然能成为阿门多拉腊公民,更没想到还能进元老院!这都是执政官大人和在座的各位给予我们的恩惠,我们无以为报,必将为阿门多拉腊贡献自己的全部力量!”„” The applauseresounds, the teamofficers of formermercenariesmake an effortto applaud. Davoslooks atSestato return the seat, onlycontactedmercenariesleadersto have the newimpressiontothisseveraltimesactually.
“哗哗”的掌声响起,原雇佣军的队官们使劲鼓掌。戴弗斯看着塞斯塔退回座位,对这位只接触过几次的雇佣军首领倒是有了新的印象。„Philesius, Antonios, Kapus, Amintas, Alexius, Hielos, Hieronymus, Agasias, Epiphanes, Cid, Arpenst and seniorteamofficers of Ledesthese12mercenaries, withMersis and heads of Herpusthesetworespectivedepartments, Irecommendthemto become the councilsenior statesman.”Davoscontinuesto say.
“斐利修斯、安东尼奥斯、卡普斯、阿明塔斯、阿莱克西斯、希洛斯、希罗尼穆斯、阿加西亚、埃皮忒尼斯、茨皮特、阿尔普恩斯、莱德斯这十二位雇佣军的高级队官,和梅尔西斯、赫尔普斯这两位各自部门的负责人,我推荐他们成为元老院元老。”戴弗斯继续说道。„Agreement!!” The sound that theseapproves oftimeis louder and clearer.
“同意!!”这一次赞同的声音更加洪亮。
The Davosvisionhas sweptMatonis, Olivos, Asistes, Giorgris, Martius that sitsin the back rowand otherfamiliarfaces, looktranquilsaying: „As forfellowplatoon commandersandotherpersonnel, Idid not plantemporarilyrecommendsyouto entercouncil.”戴弗斯的目光扫过坐在后排的马托尼斯、奥利弗斯、亚西斯特斯、吉奥格里斯、马尔提乌斯等熟悉的面孔,神色平静的说道:“至于各位分队长和其他人员,我暂时不打算推荐你们进入元老院。”Finishes speaking, someback rowpeoplemake the sound that sighed, butno onedaresto question the Davoswords.
话音刚落,后排就有人发出叹气的声音,但没有人敢质疑戴弗斯的话。
The Davoslookis invariable , to continue to explain: „Whenyourmost people are very young( spokethissaying, Davosobviouslyoneselfhas not calculated, others alsothinknaturally), severalmonths ago, the soldier, lacksmanagescity-state and experience of processingpolitics, but should not be discouraged, so long asyouactivelyparticipate in the city-statebusiness, enhances itselfdiligently. Ihad saidbefore, counciloutstanding the citizentocity-stateopens the front doormomentarily!”戴弗斯神色不变,继续解释道:“因为你们大多数人还很年轻(说这话时,戴弗斯显然没把自己算在内,其他人也认为理所当然),几个月前,都还是士兵,缺乏管理城邦和处理政事的经验,但是也不要气馁,只要你们积极的参与城邦事务,努力的提高自己。我之前说过,元老院是随时向城邦里优秀的公民敞开大门的!”
The words that Davosencouragesmaketheseplatoon commandersspiritsrouse.戴弗斯鼓励的话语让这些分队长们精神又振奋起来。Davosalsothensaidto the councilsenior statesmen of newpromote: „councilsenior statesman, althoughdoes not have the pay, but he positionincity-stateis honored, hopes that youuseyourperformanceto showyoucan be joined tothisloftyposition. According tomebeforeCorneliuswhat discussed that onceenteredcouncil, lifelongwas the senior statesmen( thiswasDavosgivesCorneliustheiradvantage, actually was also Davosexpects). ButIdo not hope that is completely this, Iwithyouwill discussformulationabout the councilsenior statesman stipulated that everythingis unable to be competentthispositionorviolatescity-statelaw, Ithink that shouldwithdraw fromcouncilorrecallsvoluntarilyitbycouncil.”戴弗斯又接着对新晋的元老院元老们说道:“元老院元老虽然没有薪酬,但他在城邦中地位尊贵,希望你们用你们的表现证明你们配得上这一崇高的职位。按照我跟科尔内鲁斯之前商议的是,一旦进入元老院,终身都为元老(这是戴弗斯给予科尔内鲁斯他们的好处,其实也是戴弗斯所期望的)。但我不希望完全是这样,我将和你们一起商讨制定关于元老院元老的一些规定,凡是无法胜任这一位置或者违反城邦法律者,我想应该自觉的退出元老院或者由元老院将其罢免。”As soon as the peoplelisten, immediatelyinheartonecold.
众人一听,顿时心中一凛。„Electing of councilsenior statesmanmakes up, Iwantto arrive atthisto finish. Cornelius, you have mustsupplement?”Davosaskedhisrulingadjutantpolitely.
“元老院元老的选补,我想就到此结束吧。科尔内鲁斯,你还有要补充的?”戴弗斯客气地问他的执政副官。Inonly an originalcouncilsenior statesmanasthisconference site, before Cornelius , because the Davosdomineeringdid not have the opportunityto speak, nowhethought it is necessary to saytothesenoviceswell: „, FirstIwantto makeeveryoneknow, not only the councilsenior statesmandoes not have the pay, otherAmendolaraadministrationdutiesdo not have, even if a Obold'spay, canserveforcity-stateis the honor of eachcitizen!......”Corneliustook the opportunityfirstto educatetheseAmendolaranewcitizens, thenalsoremindedDavos: „Amendolaracouncilsenior statesmanquotahas100people, nowalsoby farinsufficient-”
作为这个会场里唯一的一位原元老院元老,科尔内鲁斯之前因为戴弗斯的强势一直没机会说话,现在他觉得有必要给这些新手们好好讲讲:“诸位,首先我想让大家知道,不光元老院元老没有薪酬,阿门多拉腊其他的行政职务都没有哪怕一个奥波尔的薪酬,能为城邦服务是每个公民的光荣!……”科尔内鲁斯借机先教育了一番这些阿门多拉腊的新公民,接着又提醒戴弗斯:“阿门多拉腊元老院元老名额有一百人,现在还远远不够-”„Insufficientlyis first leaving unused, laterhas the rightcandidateto make upagain!”Davosinterruptshiswordswith something else in mind, hewill not be restrainedby the traditional system of Amendolara, does not wantto listen to the rigid theorizing that Corneliustakes advantage of own seniority. Meanwhile, hethinks that compensatessenior statesmenhastily, will only push down the quality and ability of councilsenior statesman. Moreover more than 20councilsenior statesmen, regarding, only thenabout5000people of Amendolarapopulationis enough.
“不够就先闲置着,以后有合适的人选再补上!”戴弗斯不以为然的打断他的话,他才不会被阿门多拉腊的传统体制所约束,更不想听科尔内鲁斯倚老卖老的说教。同时,他认为仓促的补满元老人数,只会拉低元老院元老的素质和能力。而且二十多名元老院元老,对于只有近五千人的阿门多拉腊人口来说已经足够了。Corneliusopens mouth, has not persuadedagain.科尔内鲁斯张了张嘴,没再劝说。„Whichadministrativeduties does Amendolaracurrentlyhave?”Davosis actually continue askhim.
“阿门多拉腊现在有哪些行政职务?”戴弗斯却在继续问他。„Citychief executive, heis responsible forassistingarchon to manage the city-statebusiness, keeps the cityorder, runs the lawsuit, underitcommanded the patrol leaders, fire brigadesandprisonthesedepartments, this/shouldpositiononeyeartraded, council-”Corneliuslooked atDavos, butDavosis also staring athim, hehesitated, changed a statement: „Was presented the candidatebycouncil, handed overmost...... decidesbyarchon finally......”
“城市行政长官,他负责协助执政官管理城邦事务,维持城市秩序,掌管诉讼,它下辖有巡逻队、消防队、监狱这些部门,该职位一年一换,元老院-”科尔内鲁斯看了看戴弗斯,而戴弗斯也正凝视着他,他迟疑了一下,改口道:“由元老院提出人选,交由执政官最……最终决定……”Davosrelaxessecretly, Corneliusalsocalculatesto know the limitation: He is not quite familiarwithGreekcity-statevariouspublic service, AthensandSpartaare onlymodels, Greekcity-statehundreds and thousands, itspolitical system, even if largely the same, insidestillhasinfinite variety. But the system of Romehe was very familiar, in the previous generationuniversityhas also taken as an elective the class in thisaspect, the system of Amendolarais somewhat similartoRome, citychief executivesomewhatis similar the legalofficerinRomegovernment position. Therefore, inhisheartmoves, saidtoCornelius: „It seems like the responsibility of citychief executivewithrulingadjutantnot onlysame, but also is more comprehensive, was acceptedby the citizens, Ilooked that you are held the postbyCornelius, rulingadjutantismynegligence, was obviously unnecessary, canremoveit.”戴弗斯暗自松了口气,科尔内鲁斯还算识相:他对希腊城邦的各种公职并不太熟悉,雅典、斯巴达只是其中的典型,希腊城邦成百上千个,其政治体制就算大体一致,内里也有千差万别。但罗马的制度他就很熟悉了,前世大学里还选修过这方面的课,阿门多拉腊的体制跟罗马有些相似,城市行政长官一职有些类似于罗马官职中的法务官。因此,他心中一动,对科尔内鲁斯说道:“看来城市行政长官的职责跟执政副官不但相同,而且更为全面,更被公民们接受,我看就由科尔内鲁斯你担任吧,执政副官一职是我的疏忽,明显多余了,可以去掉它。”
