百手巨人

The ripeness or unripeness of the occasion must ever be well weighed; and generally it is good to commit the beginnings of all great actions to Argos with his hundred eyes, and the ends to Briareus with his hundred hands; first to watch, and then to speed.

机会的成熟与不成熟任何时候都要重视；而且一般说来，最好让百眼巨人阿尔格斯为一切伟大行动开路，让百手巨人布里亚勒斯断后（或直译：最好让巨人阿尔格斯用他的一百只眼注视一切伟大行动的开始，让巨人布里亚勒斯用他的一百只手保卫行动的成功；）他们首先是保卫，然后是加快速度。

Thus Satan talking to his neerest Mate With Head up-lift above the wave, and Eyes That sparkling blaz'd, his other Parts besides Prone on the Flood, extended long and large [ 195 ] Lay floating many a rood, in bulk as huge As whom the Fables name of monstrous size, Titanian, or Earth-born, that warr'd on Jove, Briareos or Typhon, whom the Den By ancient Tarsus held, or that Sea-beast [ 200 ] Leviathan, which God of all his works Created hugest that swim th' Ocean stream: Him haply slumbring on the Norway foam The Pilot of some small night-founder'd Skiff, Deeming some Island, oft, as Sea-men tell, [ 205 ] With fixed Anchor in his skaly rind Moors by his side under the Lee, while Night Invests the Sea, and wished Morn delayes: So stretcht out huge in length the Arch-fiend lay Chain'd on the burning Lake, nor ever thence [ 210 ] Had ris'n or heav'd his head, but that the will And high permission of all-ruling Heaven Left him at large to his own dark designs, That with reiterated crimes he might Heap on himself damnation, while he sought [ 215 ] Evil to others, and enrag'd might see How all his malice serv'd but to bring forth Infinite goodness, grace and mercy shewn On Man by him seduc't, but on himself Treble confusion, wrath and vengeance pour'd.

V2：撒但这样对他最亲近的伙伴说着，把他的头抬出火焰的波浪上面，两只眼睛，发射着炯炯的光芒，身体的其他部分平伏在火的洪流上，又长又大的肢体，平浮几十丈，体积之大，正象神话中的怪物，象那跟育芙作战的巨人泰坦，地母之子，或象百手巨人布赖利奥斯，或是古代那把守塔苏斯岩洞的百头神台芬，或者象那海兽列未坦，就是上帝所创造的一切能在大海洪波里游泳的生物中最巨大的怪物：据舟子们说，他有时在汹涌的挪威海面上打瞌睡，常有小舟夜航而遇险的时候，以为他是个岛屿，抛锚扎在他的鳞皮上，碇泊在他身旁的背风处，在黑夜的笼罩中等待姗姗来迟的黎明。大魔王就是这样横陈巨体，被锁在炎炎的火湖上面，既不能起立，也不能昂起头来，但由于那统治万汇的天神的意志和他的洪量，让他自由地得逞阴谋，他心想危害别人，却终于加重自己的罪行，刑上加刑，让他懊恼地看见自己一切的恶意怎样在他所引诱的人身上带来无穷的善意、恩惠和怜悯，而在他自己身上却招来了三倍的慌乱、惩罚和报复。

While they were celebrating their victory, and jealously discussing who was to be his successor, Thetis the Nereid, foreseeing a civil war on Olympus, hurried in search of the hundred-handed Briareus, who swiftly untied the thongs, using every hand at once, and released his master.

当他们欢庆胜利并且怀着猜疑妒忌之心讨论继承宙斯王位的人选时，海上女神特提斯看到奥林波斯山将爆发一场内战，便急匆匆把百臂巨人布里亚柔斯找来。这位巨人把一百只手都同时用上了，迅速解开绳结给主神以====。
