So we've got the famous story of Dido and Aeneas.

你听说过狄多与埃涅阿斯故事。

Aeneas emerges from the smoking wreck of Troy, which stands of course for the smoking wreck of the republic which Augustus had inherited from his father.

埃涅阿斯从特洛伊火城中逃脱，这当然意味着奥古斯都从他父亲手里继承共和国残骸。

Here Aeneas built a city, but it was not the will of the gods that this should be the home of the Trojans.

在这里，埃涅阿斯建造了一座城市，但这是神意志，这是特洛伊人家园。

And so Aeneas is a very pious figure who embodies the Roman virtues and values even.

因此，埃涅阿斯是一个非常虔诚人物，他体现了罗马美德和价值观。

When the disguised Queen of Love appeared before Aeneas a preternatural perfume accompanied her presence and betrayed her quality.

当装扮成普通女子爱情女神出现在埃涅阿斯面前时，伴随她异常芬芳暴露出她真实身份。

Okay. So Aeneas has to leave for another country.

没错 埃涅阿斯得他乡。

Aeneas' greatest quality is his Piatas or devotion which he displays to his gods which he displays to his father and which he ultimately displays to his role as the founder of Rome.

埃涅阿斯伟大品质在于他展现出，对上帝，对父亲，对自己作为罗马建立者使命奉献精神。

Thus he proceeded, like Aeneas with his father; the bats circling round his head, nightjars flapping their wings within a yard of his face, and not a human being within call.

这一路来，他就像埃涅阿斯背着他父亲踽踽前行；蝙蝠在他头顶盘旋，欧夜莺在他面前一码地方外打着翅膀，但周围没有一个能求得帮助人影。

Here Aeneas and his followers were made welcome, and a great feast was given in their honor.

在这里，埃涅阿斯和他追随者受到欢迎，为他举行了盛大宴会。

Aeneas is carrying on his shoulders his aged father, Enkysias who stands for the late great Julius Caesar and leads his son Eulace by the hand.

埃涅阿斯背着他年迈父亲安奇塞斯，安奇塞斯象征着后来伟大凯撒大帝，他手中牵着他儿子尤鲁斯。

Then the father of Aeneas remembered that the beginning of their nation had been upon the island of Crete.

后来，埃涅阿斯父亲想起他国家是在克里特岛上诞生。

Meanwhile there came a vision to Aeneas who, now that Hector was dead, was the chief hope of Troy.

与此同时，埃涅阿斯进入了一个幻象，既然赫克托耳已经死了，他就成了特洛伊主要希望。

Now only seven ships remained of the twenty with which Aeneas had set sail, and the men were weary and disheartened.

埃涅阿斯所乘那二十艘船中，目前只剩下七艘，众人皆疲乏灰心。

The most famous of their chiefs were Hector, son of Priam, bravest and best of all, and Aeneas, son of the goddess Aphrodite.

其中最著名首领是赫克托耳，他是普里亚姆儿子，也是最勇敢，最优秀，伊尼阿斯是阿佛洛狄忒女神儿子。

Nor is Aeneas wily like Homer's Odysseus.

埃涅阿斯也像荷马笔下奥德修斯那样狡猾。

It was like the golden branch that gained Aeneas and the Sibyl admittance into Hades.

它就像是让埃涅阿斯和西比尔进入冥府金枝。

Throughout the epic, Virgil emphasizes Aeneas' pietas, his virtue and duty, which is steered by fate and the intervention of the gods, taking him from his home to his destiny in Latium.

在整部史诗中， 维吉尔强调了埃涅阿斯虔诚（pietas），即他美德与职责， 这些品质受命运指引及神祇干预影响，引领他从故乡向拉丁姆命运之地。

Virgil presents Aeneas as a sort of model for Augustus, and that's probably one of the reasons the emperor was so eager to save the poem from destruction.

维吉尔将埃涅阿斯塑造成奥古斯都某种典范，这大概也是皇帝如此急切地要从毁灭中拯救这首诗原因之一。
