雅典人

The chosen men of the Athenians were in the van, led by Menestheus son of Peteos, with whom were also Pheidas, Stichius, and stalwart Bias: Meges son of Phyleus, Amphion, and Dracius commanded the Epeans, while Medon and staunch Podarces led the men of Phthia.

那里，战斗着挑选出来的雅典人，由裴忒俄斯之子墨奈修斯统领，辅之以菲达斯、斯提基俄斯和骁勇的比阿斯。墨格斯，夫琉斯之子，率领着厄利斯人，由安菲昂和得拉基俄斯辅佐；统领弗西亚人的是墨冬和犟悍的波达耳开斯。

I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.

我不是一位雅典人或是希腊人，而是世界的公民

During the purification of Delos by Athens in this war all the graves in the island were taken up, and it was found that above half their inmates were Carians: they were identified by the fashion of the arms buried with them, and by the method of interment, which was the same as the Carians still follow.

在这场战争中，在雅典人清理Delos岛期间，占领了所有岛上的墓穴，发现半数的居民是Carian人，他们的特征是有武器随葬的方式，以及和Carian人一直沿袭的特有的埋葬方式相同。

Yet in tracing the history of this association, it certainly does not seem to have suggested itself to very early thought, but is rather the offspring of a comparatively late philosophy It is remarkable too that the "equality" of laws on which the Greek democracies prided themselves —— that equality which, in the beautiful drinking song of Callistratus, Harmodius and Aristogiton are said to have given to Athens-had little in common with the "equity" of the Romans.

但在探求这种联想的来历时，我们当然还不能证明它是一种早期的思想，它只是比较后来的一种哲学的产物，同时也必须注意，希腊民主政治用以夸耀的法律"平等"——这种平等，在卡利斯屈拉得斯（Galli -stratus）的美丽的酒歌中，据说是哈马笛斯和阿利斯托杰顿给予雅典人的——与罗马人的"衡平"很少共同之处。

In this genre there is no praise of individual; it is a laudation of the collective Athenians, which is turned into an encomium of the greatness of the polis.

在这文类之中并没有对个别之人的赞扬，而是对雅典人整体歌颂，而这又进一步的晚话成为对市民城邦之伟大的咏叹。

As native Athenian Panos Demestiha observed:"Athens by day is unlivable, but it's magical atnight."

就像当地雅典人Panos Demestiha所说：&雅典的白天并不适于居住，但夜晚是神奇的。&

Only through the curiosity of other Greeks, particularly such nosy Athenians as Thucydides, can contemporary scholars glimpse the fate of Spartan vassals, who were reduced to the status of perioikoi (literally "dwellers around"), with no political rights, or to helots, who were state-owned slaves.

只有通过其他好奇的希腊人，特别是爱管闲事的雅典人修西德底斯，当代学者才能对这些沦为斯巴达奴隶的人的命运略知一二。他们被贬为边缘人，没有政治权利；或成为国家拥有的奴隶。

In support of this claim they point to the words 'comedy' and 'drama'. Their word for the outlying hamlets, they say, is comae, whereas Athenians call them demes--thus assuming that comedians got the name not from their _comoe_ or revels, but from their strolling from hamlet to hamlet, lack of appreciation keeping them out of the city.

为了支持这一声明他们从&喜剧&和&戏剧&这两个词入手，说在他们的语言中偏僻的小村庄是&comae&，而雅典人称之为&demes&——因此猜想喜剧演员的名称并非来自雅典的&comoer&或者&狂欢&，而是来自他们从一个小村子辗转到另一个小村子，无人欣赏使他们远离城市。

Surely the herons have some important characters which be prone to coming into being of the individuality.

确实，希腊人尤其是雅典人的变化速度惊人，若不是受这些有着鲜明个人特征的文化传统的影响，希腊人不可能在短短的时间内产生出个人意识来。

I might answer them as Themistocles answered the Seriphian who was abusing him and saying that he was famous, not for his own merits but because he was an Athenian: 'If you had been a native of my country or I of yours, neither of us would have been famous.

我将以索米斯托克勒斯回答塞利弗人的方式去回答他们，那个塞利弗人曾经辱骂他，说他并非因美德而著称，只不过因为他是个雅典人而已：'如果你跟我交换一下国籍，我们就都不是什么名人了。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down

屈膝跪下。。。下跪祈祷
