To Dionysius the Elder, tyrant of Syracuse, who according to legend was forced to sit at a banquet table under a sword suspended by a single hair to demonstrate the precariousness of a king's fortunes.

Apart from that, the legend as picked up, so to speak, by Plato was a precognition of the future probability, an image of an inner civilization of the mind actually projected outward into the future, where it would be used as a blueprint, dash-the lost grandeur, as, in other terms, Eden became the lost garden of paradise.

但除此之外，可以说，这个由柏拉图发掘出来的传说，是对未来可能性的一种预知，它是一幅心灵真实地向外投射进未来的内在文明的意象——它在未来会被用作一幅蓝图，它是失落的庄严的幻灭，换句话说，正如伊甸园变成了失落的天堂花园一样。

In Great Wall's enemy tower, the beacon-fire shop room, in the stele carving engraved inscription and the mountain massif touches the crag prefatory remarks, is the Great Wall culture main body; Inside and outside the Great Wall spreads in the folk story fable, is the Great Wall culture bright oral literature.

长城上的敌台，烽燧铺房，碑刻铭文及山体上的摩岩题记，是长城文化的主体；长城内外流传在民间的故事传说，是长城文化灿烂的口头文学。

There was evident throughout Europe a religious desire to save souls, and the myth of PRESTER JOHN was extremely persuasive.

很明显，当时整个欧洲都热衷于灵魂的救赎，祭司王约翰的传说就很能说明这一点。

It was popularly believed that Prester John had ordered all Christians to join him in a holy war against the infidels.

可当时的欧洲人却对此深信不疑，认为约翰和他的基督王国的存在是不争的事实。1415年后，葡萄牙的探险者曾去寻找这个传说中位于非洲海岸的基督王国，可一无所获。

Someplace in the East lay the kingdom of Prester John -- a mythical figure who was widely believed during the Middle Ages to be the ruler of a powerful Christian nation -- which may offer Frederick a key to worldly supremacy.

在东方的某处有一块祭司王约翰的王国——在中世纪人们普遍相信他是强大的基督教王国的统治者，尽管他只是一位传说中的人物——这为腓特烈提供了一把通往世界霸权的钥匙。

This, for all we know, may be the source of the legend, but it is a far cry from the destruction of a continent on which had sprung forth a preternaturally advanced technical and mystical civilization.

就我们所知，这也许是该传说的来源，但是这与一个已涌现出奇异的先进技术和神秘的文明的大陆之毁灭，有天壤之别。
