Sometimes there were interesting little problems that emerged and one of those has to do with the use of chariots in warfare.
偶尔会有一些有趣的小问题出现,这往往和战争时使用的二轮战车相关
Then, when much blood had clogged their chariot-wheels, I would go up and wash them from sweet wells, Even with truths that lie too deep for taint.
因此当大量的血液凝固,阻塞了战车前进的轮之际,我就要起身,用甘甜清澈的井水刷洗猩红,甚至是用深深隐藏在污点后的事实。
Well, Homer has his heroes using chariots and we know that chariots were used in warfare in the Bronze Age around the Mediterranean Sea.
荷马史诗》的主角们所使用的战车,我们知道在青铜时代的地中海地区,二轮战车被广泛运用于战争
He is riding from the ships or wherever he is from the camp to the battlefield.
他们开着战车从任何地方,船或营地一路到达战场
And apparently that is the way you use chariots in ancient Bronze Age warfare.
这显然也是,青铜时代战争中战车的运用方式
Achilles or Patroclus, or whoever is on his chariot, is driving.
阿喀琉斯,或普特洛克勒斯,或任何在战车上的人
Well, what do the Homeric heroes do with their chariots?
那荷马史诗的主角们是怎么用战车的呢
They use them as taxicabs.
他们把战车当出租车
So, you would say, well, that's another place where Homer got it right, except for the fact that we also know how chariots are used in warfare and the closest analogy, I think, is to think of chariots as tanks.
你们可能会说,好吧,荷马又说对了,除非我们也懂得如何在战争中使用战车,我认为最相近的类比是把战车比作坦克
