There are four distinct species of Tragedy--that being the number of the constituents also that have been mentioned: first, the complex Tragedy, which is all Peripety and Discovery; second, the Tragedy of suffering, e. g. the _Ajaxes_ and _Ixions_; third, the Tragedy of character, e. g. _The Phthiotides_ and _Peleus_.
悲剧有四种截然不同的类型——这是按已经提到过的要素划分的：第一种，复杂悲剧，急转和发现齐全；第二种，受难悲剧，例如《阿贾克斯》和《伊克西翁》；第三种，性格悲剧，比如《弗西亚的妇女》和《珀琉斯》。
At the wedding of Peleus and the sea goddess, to which most of the gods were invited, the goddess of discord, Eris, feeling angry at not being invited, threw among the guests a golden apple bearing the wordsFor the fairest and stirred up a bitter quarrel which led in the end to the Trojan war.
大多数神祗应邀参加了婚礼，只有不和女神厄里斯未在邀请之列。厄里斯颇感愤怒。她将一只刻有献给最美的人的金苹果掷向来宾，由此引起了激烈的争吵，最终引发了特洛伊战争。
Many a time was I minded when at home in Phthia to woo and wed a woman who would make me a suitable wife, and to enjoy the riches of my old father Peleus.
我以为，我的生命比财富更为可贵――即便是，按人们所说的，在过去的日子里，阿开亚人的儿子们尚未到来的和平时期，伊利昂，这座坚固的城堡，曾经拥有的全部金银；即便是神射手用硬石封挡起来的珍宝，福伊波斯·阿波罗的库藏，在石岩嶙峋的普索。
Meanwhile Apollo set Aeneas on to attack the son of Peleus, and put courage into his heart, speaking with the voice of Lycaon son of Priam.
但是，阿波罗，兵士的驱怂，却催使埃内阿斯攻战裴琉斯之子，给他注入巨大的力量。
Ulysses and I were in the house, inside, and heard all that he said to you; for we came to the fair house of Peleus while beating up recruits throughout all Achaea, and when we got there we found Menoetius and yourself, and Achilles with you.
我们俩，卓越的俄底修斯和我，其时正在厅堂里，耳闻了所说的一切，包括乃父对你的训告。我们曾前往裴琉斯建筑精固的房居，为招募壮勇，走遍了土地肥沃的阿开亚。
The son of Peleus held the shield before him with his strong hand, and he was afraid, for he deemed that Aeneas's spear would go through it quite easily, not reflecting that the god's glorious gifts were little likely to yield before the blows of mortal men; and indeed Aeneas's spear did not pierce the shield, for the layer of gold, gift of the god, stayed the point.
裴琉斯之子大手推出战盾，心里害怕，以为心志豪莽的埃内阿斯，他的投影森长的枪矛，会轻松地捅穿盾牌――愚蠢得可笑。他不知道，在他的心魂里，神祗光荣的礼物不是一捅即破的摆设，凡人休想毁捣。这次，身经百战的埃内阿斯，他的粗重的枪矛，也同样不能奏效；黄金的层面，神赐的礼物，挡住了它的冲扫。
But of this we will take thought hereafter; for the present, let us draw a ship into the sea, and find a crew for her expressly; let us put a hecatomb on board, and let us send Chryseis also; further, let some chief man among us be in command, either Ajax, or Idomeneus, or yourself, son of Peleus, mighty warrior that you are, that we may offer sacrifice and appease the the anger of the god.
我将亲往提取——动怒发火去吧，那位接受我造访的伙计！够了，这些事情我们以后再议。现在，我们必须拨出一条乌黑的海船，拖人闪光的大海，配备足够的桨手，搬上丰盛的祀祭——别忘了那位姑娘，美貌的克鲁塞伊丝。须由一位首领负责解送，或是埃阿斯，或是伊多墨纽斯，或是卓越的俄底修斯也可以是你自己，裴琉斯之子，天底下暴戾的典型以主持牲祭，平息远射手的恨心。
Nevertheless Scamander did not slacken in his pursuit, but was still more furious with the son of Peleus.
阿基琉斯抬腿高跳，迎着水浪扑进，水面宽阔的河流挡不住他的进击――雅典娜给了他巨大的勇力。
The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus.
神话中讲到，所有的神都坐在桌子旁来庆祝 Thetis and Peleus 的婚礼。
But the son of Peleus again began railing at the son of Atreus, for he was still in a rage.
其时，裴琉斯之子再次对阿特桑斯之子亮开嗓门，夹头夹脑地给他一顿臭骂，怒气分毫不减
Or his insubordination to the river-god, on whose divinity he is ready to lay hands; or his offering to the dead Patroclus of his own hair, which had been previously dedicated to the other river-god Spercheius, and that he actually performed this vow; or that he dragged Hector round the tomb of Patroclus, and slaughtered the captives at the pyre; of all this I cannot believe that he was guilty, any more than I can allow our citizens to believe that he, the wise Cheiron's pupil, the son of a goddess and of Peleus who was the gentlest of men and third in descent from Zeus, was so disordered in his wits as to be at one time the slave of two seemingly inconsistent passions, meanness, not untainted by avarice, combined with overweening contempt of gods and men.
还有关于阿喀琉斯冒犯河神的描写，说他准备跟他信奉的神大打出手；还说到他如何将已经发誓许愿献给河神斯普彻修斯的头发献给了亡友帕特罗克勒斯；还有说他拖着赫克托耳的尸首去帕特罗克勒斯之墓，在灵柩前残杀战俘以作祭奠；我们不能相信这些都是他造的罪，我也不能让我们的国民去相信阿喀琉斯这位喀戎的好学生，女神和温和之神、宙斯三世孙珀琉斯的儿子，竟是如此的心志丧乱，曾经如此这般性情矛盾地沦为两大恶欲之奴，卑鄙恶毒如斯，贪婪放荡如斯，而且还曾如此傲慢自大于人神之间。
Pelion, which Chiron had once given to Peleus, fraught with the death of heroes.
这条裴利昂木杆枪矛，是开荣送给他父亲的赠礼，取材裴利昂的峰巅，作为克杀英雄的利器。
My father is Peleus, son of Aeacus ruler over the many Myrmidons, and Aeacus was the son of Jove.
正如宙斯比泻人大海的河流强健，宙斯的后裔也比河流的后代骠悍。
Old Peleus bade his son Achilles fight ever among the foremost and outvie his peers, while Menoetius the son of Actor spoke thus to you:'My son, 'said he, 'Achilles is of nobler birth than you are, but you are older than he, though he is far the better man of the two.
而对你，墨诺伊提俄斯，阿克托耳之子，亦有一番嘱告：`我的孩子，论血统，阿基琉斯远比你高贵，但你比他年长。他比你有力，远比你有力，但你要给他一些忠告，有益的劝导，为他指明方向。
While he was thus in two minds, and was drawing his mighty sword from its scabbard, Minerva came down from heaven (for Juno had sent her in the love she bore to them both), and seized the son of Peleus by his yellow hair, visible to him alone, for of the others no man could see her.
正当他权衡着这两种意念，在他的心里和魂里，从剑鞘里抽出那柄硕大的铜剑，雅典娜钟爱和关心着他俩，故而遣她下凡——站在裴琉斯之子背后，伸手抓住他的金发，只是对他显形，旁人全都一无所见。惊异中，阿基琉斯转过身子，一眼便认出了
Or as one who yokes broad-browed oxen that they may tread barley in a threshing-floor- and it is soon bruised small under the feet of the lowing cattle- even so did the horses of Achilles trample on the shields and bodies of the slain. The axle underneath and the railing that ran round the car were bespattered with clots of blood thrown up by the horses'hoofs, and from the tyres of the wheels; but the son of Peleus pressed on to win still further glory, and his hands were bedrabbled with gore.
像农人套起额面开阔的犍牛，踏踩着雪白的大麦，在一个铺压坚实的打谷场上，哞哞吼叫的壮牛，用蹄腿很快分辗出麦粒的皮壳――就像这样，拉着心胸豪壮的阿基琉斯，捷蹄的快马踢踏着死人和战盾，轮轴沾满飞溅的血点，马蹄和飞旋的轮缘压出四散的血污，喷洒在围绕车身的条杆。
All the gods and goddesses sat around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus.
男女众神围坐在桌旁庆贺忒提斯和派留司的婚礼。
He said he would give me the horses of the noble son of Peleus and his bronze-bedizened chariot; he bade me go through the darkness of the flying night, get close to the enemy, and find out whether the ships are still guarded as heretofore, or whether, now that we have beaten them, the Achaeans design to fly, and through sheer exhaustion are neglecting to keep their watches.
他答应给我裴琉斯之子、高傲的阿基琉斯的风快的骏马，连同他的战车，闪着耀眼的铜光。他命我穿过匆逝、乌黑的夜雾，接近敌营，探明阿开亚人的动静，是像往常那样，派人守护着海船，还是因为受过我们的重创，正聚在一堆，谋划逃遁之事，无心暇顾夜防的繁琐，布岗设哨；阿开亚人已被折磨得筋疲力尽。
