„IsThurii! SelfishThurii! DamnThurii! Wish the misfortunegoddessto cursethem!”Saying that Corneliusclenches jaws.
“又是图里伊!自私的图里伊!该死的图里伊!愿厄运女神诅咒他们!”科尔内鲁斯咬牙切齿的说道。Canmake the good person who alwayshelps others do wellhateto becomethis, Davoscanguess correctly that the reason( Archytastoldhim), heactuallydid intentionallycuriousasking: „SirCornelius, Iremembers that ThuriiandAmendolaraare the allies, butyouhateThuriiprobably.”
能让一个一向与人为善的好人恨成这样,戴弗斯能猜到原因(阿契塔告诉他的),他却故作好奇的问道:“科尔内鲁斯大人,我记得图里伊和阿门多拉腊是盟友,可你好像非常痛恨图里伊。”„The Thuriipersonintimidatesustemporarilyto leave the Amendolaracity, helpingthemdefend the Thuriicity, onceotherwiseLucaniansbesiegesAmendolara, theywill not provideanyhelp. At that time, consideringLucaniansinvadedfrom the south, northwas safe, ourhelplesscarrieda lot ofcommoditiesto open the city gate, preparedto move toThurii, the result...... resultnoprotection...... whileemptyis capturedbyLucanians that floatedfrom the Siris riveradventure...... in the half year, wesufferedmanymisery...... the templeto be tarnished, the womanwas insulted, the childstarved to death, the citizenwas slaughtered......”at this point, Corneliushas had tears streaming down the face: „All thesestem fromthatselfishdecision of Thurii, buttheircities are still intact! EachAmendolarapersonhatesThuriito exceedto hateLucanians!”
“图里伊人威逼我们暂时离开阿门多拉腊城,帮助他们防守图里伊城,否则一旦卢卡尼亚人围攻阿门多拉腊,他们不会提供任何帮助。当时,考虑到卢卡尼亚人都是从南面入侵,北面是安全的,我们无奈的携带大量的物资打开城门,准备迁往图里伊,结果……结果毫无防备的被……被从辛尼河冒险漂下来的卢卡尼亚人乘虚攻入……这半年多,我们遭受了很多苦难……神庙遭玷污,妇女遭侮辱,孩子被饿死,公民被屠杀……”说到这里,科尔内鲁斯已经泪流满面:“这一切都源于图里伊的那个自私的决定,而他们自己的城池却至今完好无缺!我们每一个阿门多拉腊人恨图里伊胜过恨卢卡尼亚人!”„Oh!......”Davosheaved a deep sigh, does not know that shouldsaywhatgood.
“唉!……”戴弗斯长叹一声,不知该说什么好。„Ilistened toyoursoldier saying that recapturingAmendolarawasyourdecision, wasn't the order of Thurii?”Corneliusis wipingtears, asked.
“我听你的士兵说,夺回阿门多拉腊是你们自己的决定,并非图里伊的命令?”科尔内鲁斯擦拭着眼泪,问道。„Right.”
“没错。”„Thatis very good, wedid not need a deficitagainThuriianything! Theyusehow muchmoneyto hireyour, wedoublepayyou, so long asyouremain!”Corneliussaidresolutely.
“那很好,我们不用再亏欠图里伊什么了!他们用多少钱雇佣你们的,我们加倍付给你,只要你们留下来!”科尔内鲁斯毅然说道。Davoshelplesssaying: „Thisalsowhy, ourmercenarieshave3000people, every monthconsumes the land taxis not a smallnumber, Amendolarais notwealthycity-state, moreoverweacceptedyouremployment, to the deadline, wewill leave.

A wordsexit|to speak, heseemed likeencouragedto resemble, loudsaying: „Right, allremains! Becoming the Amendolaracitizen!”
话一出口,他像是得了鼓励似的,又大声的说道:“对,全留下来!成为阿门多拉腊的公民!”...........................

之前,阿门多拉腊的广场被卢卡利亚人作为军营的所在地,也是昨晚雇佣军在城里遇到唯一像样点抵抗的地方。今天下午,广场已经被清理干净,只有大理石地面上残存的一条条血痕揭示这里曾发生过战斗。
The people of Amendolarasurvival, except for the immaturechild, others gathered in the squareincluding the woman and underageyoungster.
阿门多拉拉幸存的民众,除了幼小的儿童,其余人包括妇女、未成年的少年都聚集到了广场上。At this moment, whatstandson the squarecentralwooden tableisfiveAmendolaracitiesremainingwell known the citizenheaded by Cornelius.

此刻,站在广场中央木台上的是以科尔内鲁斯为首的五位阿门多拉腊城中残余的有名望的公民。科尔内鲁斯望着台下阿门多拉腊几乎全部的民众,老的老,少的少,其余大部分还是女性,现在大都体力未复,甚至需要雇佣军士兵和医生的搀扶,不禁再次悲由心起:想想一年前,阿门多拉腊光公民就有四千人(希腊城邦公民只能是成年男性),全部人口有一万多人,如今却只剩老幼妇孺为主的可怜的一千人,别说是保家卫国,就是种植小麦,放牧牛羊,这些日常的劳动也无法顺利完成,更让他坚定了自己的决心。„The Amendolaracitizensandwomen, have the children, I, Cornelius, council, conveneseveryoneto go to the squaretoday , because the importantmattersneedusjointlyto decide!

“阿门多拉腊的公民们、女人们、还有孩子们,我,科尔内鲁斯,元老院的一员,今天招集大家到广场,是因为有一件重要的事需要我们共同决定!两百多年前,我们的先辈离开绪巴里斯,来此建城。两百年来,有西斯诺河与布拉诺河的滋育,有阿门多拉腊山的护佑,我们生活安定,物资充裕。即使母邦绪巴里斯覆灭,我们的土地也从未被战火波及。但是……自从去年,我们的公民跟随图里伊攻入卢卡尼亚人的领地之后,我们……”科尔内鲁斯有些哽咽,而台下不少人更是失声痛哭起来。„My wifeis not willingto be insultedbyLucanian, hit the columnsuicide...... mychildalsoto catch an illness dead...... you under stagealsoto havewithmysamepitifulbitter experience...... for 200years, Amendolaraonlyencounteredthisflames of war, butthesealmostmadeAmendolarasame the pastwithourmother-stateSybaristime.

“我的妻子不愿被卢卡利亚人侮辱,撞柱自杀……我的一个孩子也染病死去……台下的你们也都有和我一样的悲惨遭遇……两百年来,阿门多拉腊仅遭遇这一次战火,而这一次就几乎让阿门多拉腊跟我们的母邦绪巴里斯一样成为了过去。当我们日夜在神庙祈祷宙斯的救赎,宙斯响应了我们的呼唤,派来了我们的救星,他们就是来自希腊爱欧尼亚地区的雇佣军,我们的同胞!”科尔内鲁斯指向民众的后方,戴弗斯带着队官和部分士兵,以及见证人阿契塔身穿便装,正站在那里,静静的等待。„TheydefeatedfierceLucanian, savesfrom the miseryus, but alsowarmlyattendancewe! To be honestIhad also seenmanymercenariesbefore, buttheyare completely different, likefamily member!......” The Corneliuswordswonunder the stage the approvals of manypeople, the especially thosefill the perceptualwoman.
“他们打败了凶恶的卢卡利亚人,把我们从苦难中拯救出来,还热情的照顾我们!老实说我之前也见过不少雇佣军,但是他们完全不同,就像亲人一样!……”科尔内鲁斯的话赢得台下许多人的认同,尤其是那些充满感性的妇女。„Buttheywill soon leaveus, leavesMagna Graecia!”Hefinishes speaking, manypeoplestartto be startled.
“但是他们即将离开我们,离开大希腊!”他话音刚落,不少人开始惊慌起来。„Theywalked, what to do should we? Whoassures the Amendolarasecurityagain? Thurii?” A Corneliusslightlystop, under the stagescoldedsoundonepiece.
“他们走了,那我们该怎么办?谁再来保证阿门多拉腊的安全?图里伊吗?”科尔内鲁斯略一停顿,台下骂声一片。„No! Ratherwas perishedbyLucanian, is not willingto be deceivedby the Thuriipersonagain!”
“不!宁愿被卢卡利亚人灭亡,也不愿再被图里伊人欺骗!”„The selfishThuriipersondoes not permitto enter the Amendolaracityagain!”
“自私的图里伊人不准再进阿门多拉腊城!”

……In the angrysound of people, Corneliusmakes usesaidloudly: „Thisdeeply grievedlessontoldus, ownhomeland can only depend upon itselfto guard! HoweverAmendolaranowis small and weak, what to do should we?”Corneliusis gazing at the people under stage, saidthisquestionagain, causedthemto think deeply.
在民众的愤怒声中,科尔内鲁斯趁势大声说道:“这一次的惨痛教训告诉了我们自己,自己的家园只能依靠自己来守卫!但是阿门多拉腊现在非常弱小,那我们该怎么办?”科尔内鲁斯注视着台下的民众,再次说出这句问话,引起他们深思。„Amendolaraarchon had died, myCorneliustakes the councilmember, nowputs forward an importantbill, appliedto conveneecclesia, the votingdecideswhetherpassed. Becausepresentcitizensare too few, butthismatterrelates to the interests of eachAmendolaraperson, thereforeIrequestallAmendolarapeopleto participate in the votingspecially.”Corneliusfinishes speaking, has not waited forunder the stageto present the tumult, on the stageanotherfourpeoplespeaksto express support.
“阿门多拉腊的执政官都已身亡,我科尔内鲁斯作为元老院成员,现在提出一个重要的议案,申请召开公民大会,投票决定是否通过。由于现在公民人数太少,而这件事又关系到我们每一个阿门多拉腊人的利益,所以我特意要求所有阿门多拉腊人都参与投票。”科尔内鲁斯话音刚落,还未等台下出现骚动,台上另外四人纷纷发言表示支持。Under the stageoccupiesmostwomento be excitedfor the firstvoting of ownlife, the person who naturallyopposescannot raise the spray,
台下占大多数的妇女们为自己人生的第一次投票而兴奋,自然反对的人掀不起浪花,„Ilistened toothersto sayAmendolaraCornelius, although the mannerwas good, butnottoomanyopinionsin the politics, never expected thatreallywill as if have the soastonishingactiontoday!”Archytashalfissurprisedhalfis the suspiciontreatsDavosto say. After allmakes the womanvoteto decide that the city-stateimportant matterisinpresentGreececity-statehas never had, perhapshas only appearedin the ancient times, in the legendAthenacanbecome the Athenspatron god, the voting of women the crucial role.
“我听别人说过阿门多拉腊的科尔内鲁斯虽然为人不错,但在政事上似乎并无太多主见,没想到今天竟然会有如此惊人的举动!”阿契塔半是惊讶半是怀疑地对待戴弗斯说道。毕竟让女人投票决定城邦大事是现在希腊城邦中从未有过的,或许只在远古出现过,传说中雅典娜能成为雅典的守护神,女人们的投票起了关键作用。Davossmiles, withoutspeech. Allow the womanto participate in the votingnaturallyishisidea, compared toman who places great emphasis on the benefit, womanperception, longs for that the protection of powerhouse, facingsavingthem, andtreatedtheirmercenariessoldierskindly, theirchoicescould be imagined.戴弗斯笑了笑,没有说话。让女人参与投票当然是他的主意,相对于更看重利益的男人,女人则更加感性,也更渴望强者的保护,面对拯救了她们,并亲切地对待她们的雇佣军士兵,他们的选择可想而知。„Sinceeveryoneagrees tothisapproach, then, mypropositionis-” the CorneliusvisionsweepstoDavos of distant placethey: „Admitsourbenefactors- saves the Amendolaraallmercenariessoldierto become the Amendolaracitizen, thenwedo not needto be worried about the city-statesecurity problemagain!”
“既然大家都同意这个做法,那么接下来,我的提议是-”科尔内鲁斯的目光扫向远处的戴弗斯他们:“接纳我们的恩人-拯救阿门多拉腊的全体雇佣军士兵成为阿门多拉腊公民,那么我们就不用再担心城邦的安全问题!”Peoplein an uproar under stage. After all, a freemanwantsto become a Greekcity-statecitizenis not an easymatter, is the disposableadmission more than 3000peoplebecomes the city-statecitizenlet alone, thisveryrare( Greeceafter all is notRome).
台下的民众一片哗然。毕竟,一个自由民想成为一个希腊城邦的公民原本就不是一件容易的事,更何况是一次性的接纳三千多人成为城邦公民,这非常少见(希腊毕竟不是罗马)。Howeverafter a tumult, when a womanfirstlifts up high the right arm, shouted: „Agreement!”Later, immediately„agreement” the soundspreadsvariousconference siteplaces.
但是在一阵骚动之后,当一个妇女首先高举右臂,大喊:“同意!”之后,随即“同意”之声响遍会场各处。
