The sky was dark on the evening that the tyrant ' s emissaries came to tegea 在叙拉古的使者来到忒格亚的那天晚上天色很黑。

At night , as of yore , musides sought the banquet halls of tegea whilst kalos wandered alone in the olive grove 就像往常一样,穆赛德斯每天晚上到忒格亚去寻欢作乐,而喀洛斯则独自在橄榄林中徘徊。

Three years after the death of kalos , musides despatched a messenger to the tyrant , and it was whispered in the agora at tegea that the mighty statue was finished 喀洛斯死后三年过去了,穆赛德斯向国王派遣了使者,而忒格亚集市上则有传言说那座伟大的雕像已经完成了。

And then the men of tegea spoke of the goodness of musides , and of his heavy grief for his friend and how not even the coming laurels of art could console him in the absence of kalos , who might have worn those laurels instead 而后忒格亚的人们则谈到仁慈善良的穆赛德斯,谈到他对死去挚友的悲恸,甚至即将到来的殊荣也无法安慰他,因为这桂冠也很可能属于喀洛斯。
