卡尔

Again Calchas revealed the cause of the trouble, and Agamemnon most sullenly restored the girl to the priest.

先知卡尔卡斯又一次透露了瘟疫产生的原因。于是，一筹莫展的阿佃门农只好把姑娘还给了祭司。

It was not Calchas the seer and diviner of omens; I knew him at once by his feet and knees as he turned away, for the gods are soon recognised.

他不是卡尔卡斯，神的善辨鸟踪的卜者，我一眼便看认出来，在他离去之时，从他的腿脚，他的步态――是的，他是一位神祗，错不了。

The seer, Calchas, after consulting an oracle, revealed the cause of the trouble

先知卡尔卡斯，在问讯神谕所后道出了造成这一切的原因。

With regard to the wooden horse, he told them that it was a propitiatory offering to Athena, and made so huge for the express purpose of preventing its being carried within the city; for Calchas the prophet had told them that if the Trojans took possession of it, they would assuredly triumph over the Greeks.

至於那匹木马，他告诉他们说，这是献给雅典娜争取和解的祭品，木马造得这麼大，纯粹是为了不让人把它搬进城堙A因为先知卡尔卡斯告诉他们，如果特洛伊人获得木马，他们一定能战胜希腊人。

With these words he sat down, and Calchas son of Thestor, wisest of augurs, who knew things past present and to come, rose to speak.

阿基琉斯言毕下座，人群中站起了塞斯托耳之子卡尔卡斯，释辨鸟踪的里手，最好的行家。

A man chafes at having to stay away from his wife even for a single month, when he is on shipboard, at the mercy of wind and sea, but it is now nine long years that we have been kept here; I cannot, therefore, blame the Achaeans if they turn restive; still we shall be shamed if we go home empty after so long a stay- therefore, my friends, be patient yet a little longer that we may learn whether the prophesyings of Calchas were false or true.

强风和汹涌的海浪而不能前行时，只消一个月，便会在带凳板的海船上坐立不安。而我们，我们已在此挨过了第九个年头；所以，我不想责备海船边的阿开亚人，你们有理由感到焦烦。但尽管如此，在此呆了这么些年头，然后两手空空地回去，总是件丢脸的事儿。坚持一下，朋友们，再稍待一段时间，直到我们弄清卡尔卡斯的预卜是否灵验。

And Achilles answered,"Fear not, but speak as it is borne in upon you from heaven, for by Apollo, Calchas, to whom you pray, and whose oracles you reveal to us, not a Danaan at our ships shall lay his hand upon you, while I yet live to look upon the face of the earth- no, not though you name Agamemnon himself, who is by far the foremost of the Achaeans."

听罢这番话，捷足的阿基琉斯答道："勇敢些，把神的意思释告我们，不管你知道什么。我要对宙斯钟爱的阿波罗起誓——那位你，卡尔卡斯，只要我还活着，只要还能见到普照大地的阳光，深旷的海船旁就没有人敢对你撒野。没有哪个达奈人敢对你动武，哪怕你指的是阿伽门农，此人现时正自诩为阿开亚人中最好的雄杰！"

His heart was black with rage, and his eyes flashed fire as he scowled on Calchas and said, Seer of evil, you never yet prophesied smooth things concerning me, but have ever loved to foretell that which was evil.

统治着辽阔疆域的英雄阿伽门农。他怒气咻咻，黑心里注满怨愤，双目熠熠生光，宛如燃烧的火球，凶狠地盯着卡尔卡斯，先拿他开刀下手：灾难的预卜者！你从未对我说过一件好事

Those memories involve a witch (Helena Bonham-Carter) whose glass eye reflects the way her visitors will die, and a circus run by Amos Calloway, where he makes friends with characters such as Karl the Giant.

这其中包括从老巫婆的一只玻璃眼珠里能看到自己是怎么死的；在阿莫斯。卡罗威的马戏团里，结交形形色色的朋友，比如巨人卡尔。

Descartes' influence in mathematics is also apparent, the Cartesian coordinate system allowing geometric shapes to be expressed in algebraic equations being named for him.

笛卡尔在数学中的影响也很显著，因他而命名的笛卡儿坐标系让几何图形可用数学方程表达。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
