Now no man except Achilles drank from that cup, and he poured out of it offerings to no god but Zeus, father of all the gods.
除了阿喀琉斯，還沒有人品嘗過它，除了眾神之王宙斯，他從沒有從杯子中傾倒過貢品。
First he cleansed it; then he washed his hands, and, standing before his tent, poured out wine to Zeus, saying:
他首先清洗了杯子，然后洗了手，之后站在帳篷前，為宙斯從杯子中到紅酒，說道：
O Zeus, I send my comrade to this battle. Make him strong and bold, and give him glory,
哦，宙斯，我派我的伙伴前往戰斗，讓他變強壯，變勇敢，給他光輝。
and bring him home safe to the ships, and my people with him.
讓他坐著船安全回家，我的人民和他在一起。
When Patroclus came to the battle and the men of Troy beheld him, they thought that Achilles had forgotten his anger and come forth.
當帕特洛克羅斯參與戰斗之后，特洛伊戰士看到了他，他們認為阿喀琉斯忘記了自己的憤怒，前來迎戰了。
Then the men of Troy turned to flee, and many chiefs fell by the spears of the Greeks.
隨后，特洛伊戰士轉身逃跑，許多首領被希臘的矛殺死。
But Apollo stirred up the spirit of Hector to go against Patroclus. Three times Patroclus rushed against the men of Troy.
但阿波羅激發了赫克托爾的斗志來對抗帕特洛克羅斯，帕特洛克羅斯三次應對特洛伊勇士。
But the fourth time Apollo stood behind him and struck him on the head so that his eyes grew dim. The helmet fell to the ground,
但第四次阿波羅站在他身邊，給了他的頭一擊，他的眼睛變得昏暗，頭盔掉落在地上，
and the horsehair plume was soiled with dust. Never before had that headpiece, the helmet of Achilles, touched the earth.
頭盔上的馬鬃沾染上了灰塵，阿喀琉斯的頭盔從未掉落過地上。
Patroclus turned to flee, but Hector thrust his spear at him so that he fell; and Hector stood over him and cried:
帕特洛克羅斯轉身逃跑，但赫克托爾向他猛刺了矛，他倒地了，赫克托爾俯視他，叫嚷起來：
Did you think to spoil our city, Patroclus? Instead, you are slain, and the great Achilles cannot help you.
你想過要毀掉我們的城市嗎？帕特洛克羅斯？但你反而被我殺了，偉大的阿喀琉斯無法來救你。
But Patroclus answered, You boast too much, Hector. It was not you that slew me, but Apollo.
但帕特洛克羅斯回答道，赫克托爾，你太自以為是了，不是你殺了我，而是阿波羅。
And mark you this, death is close to you by the hand of the great Achilles.
你要記住，只要阿喀琉斯出手，你離死就不遠了。
Hector answered, though Patroclus was dead, Why do you prophesy death for me? It may be that the great Achilles himself will fall by my hand.
赫克托爾回答道，盡管帕特洛克羅斯死了，你為什要向我預言死亡？或許偉大的阿喀琉斯會死在我的手中。
HOW THE DEATH OF PATROCLUS AROUSED ACHILLES
帕特洛克羅斯的死是如何激發阿喀琉斯的
Fierce was the fight about the body of Patroclus, and many heroes on both sides fell. Hector stripped off the arms of Patroclus,
帕特洛克羅斯尸體的爭搶很激烈，雙方的許多英雄戰死沙場，赫克托爾取下了帕特洛克羅斯的裝備，
the arms which Achilles had given him to wear, and put them on himself. Zeus saw him doing it, and liked it not.
這是阿喀琉斯讓他穿上的，他自己穿上了戰甲，宙斯看到他做這件事情，很不高興。
Then a messenger came running to Achilles, weeping as he said,
之后一名信使跑著來見阿喀琉斯，一邊哭一邊說，
I have ill news for you. The men of Troy have the victory today, and, moreover, Patroclus lies dead.
我有壞消息告訴你，特洛伊人今天勝利了，而且帕特洛克羅斯死了。
