He marched at the head of not less than four different victory-parades, having won four different campaigns.
在其輝煌的一生中，愷撒贏得了四次重大戰爭，四次舉行凱旋入城儀式，每次都威風八面地走在游行隊伍的最前頭。他如愿以償地成為了人民膜拜的英雄。
Then Ceasar appeared in the Senate to report upon his adventures, and the grateful Senate made him "dictator" for ten years. It was a fatal step.
愷撒來到元老院，向元老們描述他波瀾壯闊的冒險事業。于是感激涕零的元老們任命他為"獨裁 官"，為期10年。這是致命的一步。
The new dictator made serious attempts to reform the Roman state. He made it possible for freemen to become members of the Senate. He conferred the rights of citizenship upon distant communities as had been done in the early days of Roman history. He permitted "foreigners" to exercise influence upon the government. He reformed the administration of the distant provinces which certain aristocratic families had come to regard as their private possessions. In short he did many things for the good of the majority of the people but which made him thoroughly unpopular with the most powerful men in the state. Half a hundred young aristocrats formed a plot "to save the Republic." On the Ides of March (the fifteenth of March according to that new calendar which C?sar had brought with him from Egypt) C?sar was murdered when he entered the Senate. Once more Rome was without a master.
新任獨裁 官施行了許多有力的措施，來改革危機四伏的國家現狀。他讓自由 民獲得了成為元老院成員的資格。他恢復羅馬古制，給子邊疆地區的人民以公民權。他允許"外國人"參與政府，對國家政策施加一定的影響。他改革了某些邊遠行省的行政管理，以兔它們淪為某些貴族世家領地和私有財產。一句話，愷撒做了許多照顧大多數人利益的事情，因而也成為特權階層的敵人。50個年輕貴族聯合策劃了一個"拯救共和國"的陰謀。按愷撒從埃及引進的新歷，也就是3月15日那天，他步人元老院出席會議，一群年輕貴族蜂擁而上，將他殺害。羅馬再一次沒有了領袖。
There were two men who tried to continue the tradition of Caesar's glory. One was Antony, his former secretary. The other was Octavian, Caesar's grandnephew and heir to his estate.
有兩個人試圖延續愷撒的光榮。一個是安東尼，愷撒的前秘書。另一個是渥大維，愷撒的外甥兼地產繼承人。
