阿伽门农

Call, therefore, the Achaean heroes in assembly; unsay your anger against Agamemnon; arm at once, and fight with might and main.

去吧，把阿开亚勇士催喊招聚，消弃你对兵士的牧者阿伽门农的愤恨，振发你的勇力，马上披甲战斗！

It sought Agamemnon son of Atreus and found him in his tent, wrapped in a profound slumber.

出现在阿特柔斯之子阿伽门农的营棚，发现后者正躺在床上，酣睡中吞吐着神赐的香甜。

"Atreus: a king of Mycenae, brother of Thyestes and father of agamemnon and Menelaus."

阿特柔斯：迈锡尼之王，堤厄斯忒斯的兄弟，阿伽门农和墨涅拉俄斯的父亲。

Agamemnon son of Atreus then despoiled him, and carried off his armour into the host of the Achaeans.

现在，阿伽门农，阿特柔斯之子，抢剥了他的所有，带着璀璨的铠甲，回到阿开亚人的队伍。

The son of Atreus sprang upon them like a lion, and the pair besought him from their chariot.

现在，强有力的阿伽门农抓住了这对兄弟，在同一辆车里，一起驾驭着奔跑的快马，眼见阿特柔斯之子像狮子似地冲到面前，两人惊慌失措，滑落了手中的缰绳，在车上哀声求告：活捉我们，阿特柔斯之子，取受足份的赎礼。

Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures,on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.

将许多豪杰强健的魂魄打入了哀地斯，而把他们的躯体，作为美食，扔给了狗和兀鸟，从而实践了宙斯的意志，从初时的一场争执开始，当事的双方是阿特柔斯之子、民众的王者阿伽门农和卓越的阿基琉斯。

He has wronged me and deceived me enough, he shall not cozen me further; let him go his own way, for Jove has robbed him of his reason.

我也不会和阿特柔斯之子阿伽门农的女儿成婚，哪怕她姿色胜过金色的阿芙罗底忒，女工胜过灰眼睛的雅典娜――即便如此，我也不会要她！

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！&

The two Ajaxes, servants of Mars, Meriones, and the son of Nestor all wanted to go, so did Menelaus son of Atreus; Ulysses also wished to go among the host of the Trojans, for he was ever full of daring, and thereon Agamemnon king of men spoke thus:"Diomed," said he, son of Tydeus, man after my own heart, choose your comrade for yourself- take the best man of those that have offered, for many would now go with you.

两位埃阿斯，阿瑞斯的伴从，愿意同行，墨里俄奈斯请愿同往，而奈斯托耳之子更是急不可待，还有阿特柔斯之子、著名的枪手墨奈劳斯。坚忍的俄底修斯亦在请缨之列，决意潜入特洛伊人的营垒，胸中总是升腾着一往无前的豪烈。其时，全军的统帅阿伽门农开口说道：图丢斯之子，你使我心里充满欢悦。你可按自己的意愿，挑选你的伙伴，择取自愿者中最好的一位，从我们济济的人选。

Achilles had once taken both of them prisoners in the glades of Ida, and had bound them with fresh withes as they were shepherding, but he had taken a ransom for them; now, however, Agamemnon son of Atreus smote Isus in the chest above the nipple with his spear, while he struck Antiphus hard by the ear and threw him from his chariot.

在此之前，阿基琉斯曾抓过他们――其时，他俩正牧羊在伊达的坡面――缚之以坚韧的柳条，以后又收取赎礼，放入生还。这一次，阿特柔斯之子，统治着辽阔疆域的阿伽门农，击倒了伊索斯――投枪扎进胸脯，奶头的上面――剑劈了安提福斯，砍在耳朵上，把他撂下马车。

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。
