For more modest tastes I think there ought to be beer. What else, what else belongs in the joyous city? The sense of victory, surely, the celebration of courage.
除此以外，還有什么，還有什么屬于這座快樂的城市所有呢?勝利的榮譽感，當然還有尚武精神。
But as we did without clergy, let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy: it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial.
但既然我們已經排除了教士，我們也理應排除武士。建筑在爭斗拼殺的成功之上的歡樂不是正當的歡樂。那種歡樂是要不得的，是可怕的，也是不值得的。
A bound-less and generous contentment, a magnanimous triumph felt not against some outer enemy but in communion with the finest and fairest in the souls of all men everywhere and the splendor of the world's summer:
使奧米勒斯人心中充滿歡樂和自豪的是一種巨大無邊的滿足感，是一種巨大的勝利的喜悅，但這勝利不是指擊敗外敵的勝利，

The faces of small children are amiably sticky; in the benign grey beard of a man a couple of crumbs of rich pastry are entangled.
一些小孩子的天真可愛的臉蛋上都因吃甜食弄得粘糊糊的，還有一位慈眉善目的老人的灰白胡子上也粘著幾片奶油蛋糕碎屑。
The youths and girls have mounted their horses and are beginning to group around the starting line of the course.
參加賽馬的青年男女騎手都已騎馬來到起跑線上等候著。
An old woman, small, fat, and laughing, is passing out flowers from a basket, and tall young men wear her flowers in their shining hair.
一位胖胖的小個子老嫗提著一籃子鮮花微笑著向他們發花，高高大大的青年男子都接過她的花插在自己油光發亮的頭發上。
A child of nine or ten sits at the edge of the crowd, alone, playing on a wooden flute.
一個大約九到十歲的小孩獨自坐在邊上吹奏一支木笛。
People pause to listen, and they smile, but they do not speak to him, for he never ceases playing and never sees them, his dark eyes wholly rapt in the sweet, thin magic of the tune.
人們都停下其他的活動，微笑著聽他吹奏，但都不同他說話，因為他一直不停地吹，從不抬頭望他們一眼，他的一雙烏黑的眼睛全神貫注于那美妙而動人的樂曲上。
