腓尼基的

They thought the Pinfold voice was a god: Apollo, say, or Astarte or Yahweh or, more probably, a minor household god, offering them advice or orders.

他们以为平弗尔德的声音来自一个神，比如阿波罗，阿施塔特（译者注：腓尼基人崇拜的丰饶和爱的女神），或者耶和华，更可能是一个比较小的日常的神，在给予他们建议或命令。

With these in troop Came Astoreth, whom the Phoenicians call'd Astarte, Queen of Heav'n, with crescent Horns; To whose bright Image nightly by the Moon [ 440 ] Sidonian Virgins paid thir Vows and Songs, In Sion also not unsung, where stood Her Temple on th' offensive Mountain, built By that uxorious King, whose heart though large, Beguil'd by fair Idolatresses, fell [ 445 ] To Idols foul.

V2：在这些精灵中，有个亚斯托勒，是腓尼基人称为亚斯他脱的，头上长了新月形双角的天上女王，每当月明之夜，西顿的处女们便向她们那溧亮的偶像发誓、唱歌，在锡安也不无歌颂，还在耻辱的山上耸立她的庙宇，就是那个好色的君王所营造的，这君王的心是练达的，但因被艳丽的偶像崇拜者所蛊惑，自己也拜倒在淫邪的偶像面前。

To oversee all the details yourself in person; to be at once pilot and captain, and owner and underwriter; to buy and sell and keep the accounts; to read every letter received, and write or read every letter sent; to superintend the discharge of imports night and day; to be upon many parts of the coast almost at the same time -- often the richest freight will be discharged upon a Jersey shore;-- to be your own telegraph, unweariedly sweeping the horizon, speaking all passing vessels bound coastwise; to keep up a steady despatch of commodities, for the supply of such a distant and exorbitant market; to keep yourself informed of the state of the markets, prospects of war and peace everywhere, and anticipate the tendencies of trade and civilization -- taking advantage of the results of all exploring expeditions, using new passages and all improvements in navigation;-- charts to be studied, the position of reefs and new lights and buoys to be ascertained, and ever, and ever, the logarithmic tables to be corrected, for by the error of some calculator the vessel often splits upon a rock that should have reached a friendly pier -- there is the untold fate of La Perouse;-- universal science to be kept pace with, studying the lives of all great discoverers and navigators, great adventurers and merchants, from Hanno and the Phoenicians down to our day; in fine, account of stock to be taken from time to time, to know how you stand.

亲自照顾一切大小事务；兼任领航员与船长，业主与保险商；买进卖出又记账；收到的信件每封都读过，发出的信件每封都亲自撰写或审阅；日夜监督进口货的卸落；几乎在海岸上的许多地方，你都同时出现了似的；——那装货最多的船总是在泽西岸上卸落的；——自己还兼电报员，不知疲倦地发通讯到远方去，和所有驰向海岸的船只联络；稳当地售出货物，供给远方的一个无餍足的市场，既要熟悉行情，你还要明了各处的战争与和平的情况，预测贸易和文明的趋向；——利用所有探险的成果，走最新的航道，利用一切航海技术上的进步；——再要研究海图，确定珊瑚礁和新的灯塔、浮标的位置，而航海图表是永远地改而又改，因为若计算上有了一点错误，船只会冲撞在一块岩石上而至于粉碎的，不然它早该到达了一个友好的码头了——，此外，还有拉·贝鲁斯的未知的命运；——还得步步跟上宇宙科学，要研究一切伟大的发现者、航海家、探险家和商人，从迦太探险家饭能和腓尼基人直到现在所有这些人的一生，最后，时刻要记录栈房中的货物，你才知道自己处于什么位置上。

Ironically, the division of the ancient worldsintosAsia and Europe was probably borrowed by the Greeks from the Phoenicians, the ancestors of today's Lebanese; indeed, Europe and the Arabic Maghrib may well be derived from the same Semitic root, referring to the setting of the sun.

奇怪的是，将古代世界分成亚洲与欧洲的分法很可能是希腊人从腓尼基人也就是今天黎巴嫩人的祖先那里借用过来的。说真的，欧洲一词与阿拉伯语的西方一词很可能来源于闪米特语系的意思是&太阳落下&的同一个词根。

Wartime Marseilles was such a bubbling stew of political double-dealing , financial corruption , racial and nationalist crisscrossings , refugee agonies and tragedies, and Mediterranean finagling dating back to Phoenician times, that compared to Gaither's daily grind , melodramas and spy yarns paled .-–Herman Wouk, War and Remembrance

战争年头的马赛本来就已成一锅上下翻腾的大杂烩：政治上狗苟蝇营，钱财上的巧取豪夺，种族和国籍的混淆纠缠，离乡背井的难民们的苦难和悲剧，以及从腓尼基人时代以来就已盛行在地中海沿岸的尔虞我诈、勾心斗角，所以和盖瑟的例行公事相比起来，什么离奇曲折的剧情和阴险诡谲的故事都要黯然失色。

The originals were selected by one man, believed by many to be ancient Greek writer Antipater of Sidon.

原来的七大奇迹是由一位古希腊作家腓尼基西顿城的安提帕特所选出来的。

Major tourist spots have completed the construction of Phoenician era Bulushi City, the construction of ancient Roman times Assad City and the construction of the Crusades era Saida castle.

The Early Hebrew alphabet, like the modern Hebrew variety, had 22 letters, with only consonants represented, and was written from right to left; but the early alphabet is more closely related in letter form to the Phoenician than to the modern Hebrew. Its only surviving descendant is the Samaritan alphabet, still used by a few hundred Samaritan Jews.

早期的希伯莱语字母，就像现代变化的希伯莱语一样，有22个字母，只用来表示字音，是从右往左书写；但是早期字母在形式上比现代的希伯莱语更接近腓尼基文字；它只是在撒马利亚语的后裔中幸存下来，仍然被数百个撒马利亚犹太人使用。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
