The swineherd and the beggar went on to the palace. At the door of the court in the dust lay the dog, Argus,
豬倌和乞丐前往宮殿，在宮殿大門的沙地上躺著一只狗阿戈斯，
whom in the old days Ulysses had reared. But before the dog had grown his full size, Ulysses sailed to Troy.
它就是很久以前尤利西斯養(yǎng)的一只狗，但在狗長大之前，尤利西斯就航行到了特洛伊。
While he was strong, men used him in the chase, hunting wild goats and deer. But now he lay neglected,
當(dāng)時它很強壯，人們用它來進行追逐，捕捉野山羊和鹿，但如今他躺在那里沒人理會，
and no man spoke kindly to him. Well the dog knew his master, and even though he could not rise and come to him,
每人會對他很和藹地說話，這只狗知道自己的主人，盡管他無法站起來，走到他的旁邊，
he wagged his tail and drooped his ears. Ulysses, when he saw him, wiped away a tear, and said,
他搖了搖尾巴，地下耳朵，當(dāng)尤利西斯看到它時，他擦干了淚水說，
Surely this is strange that such a dog, one of so fine a breed, should lie here in neglect.
這只狗是多么好的品種，竟然躺在這里沒人理會，太奇怪了。
The swineherd answered, He belongs to a master who died far away. When the master is away,
豬倌回答道，他的主人死在了很遙遠的地方，當(dāng)主人離開時，
the slaves are unmindful of their duty. As he spoke the dog looked up at Ulysses, dropped his head upon the ground, and died.
奴隸就不在意自己的職責(zé)了，當(dāng)他說話時，這只狗看著尤利西斯，將頭放在地上，死了。
Twenty years had he waited for his master; now at last he saw him. The swineherd and the beggar entered the hall.
他在這里等了主人20年，但他最終見到了主人，豬倌和乞丐進入了大殿。
When Telemachus saw them, he took from the basket bread and meat and bade the servant carry them to the beggar,
當(dāng)忒勒瑪科斯見到他們時，他從籃子中拿出了面包和肉，并命令仆人將他們遞給乞丐，
and also tell him that he might go around among the suitors, asking alms. So Ulysses went,
并告訴他，他或許可以走在追求者之中，向他們尋求救濟，尤利西斯去了，
stretching out his hand and noting what kind of men these suitors were. Some gave, having pity on him,
他伸出手，并注意這些追求者都是什么人，一些人給了他救濟，并同情他，
but of all Antinous was the most shameless, saying, Get yourself away from my table.
但安提諾俄斯是最無恥的，他說遠離我的桌子。
Then Ulysses said, Surely your soul is evil, though your body is fair; for though you yourself sit at another man's feast,
之后尤利西斯說，你的靈魂是邪惡的，盡管你的身體是白皙的，你坐著享受別人的盛宴，
yet you will give me nothing. Antinous, in great wrath, took the stool on which he sat and threw it at Ulysses,
但你卻什么都不給我，安提諾俄斯很生氣，拿起來他坐的凳子，并向尤利西斯扔去，
striking his right shoulder. Ulysses stirred not, but stood as a rock. In his heart he thought of revenge.
砸到了他的右肩膀，尤利西斯沒有憤怒，而是像石頭一樣矗立在那里，在他的心里，他在想著報復(fù)。
But he went back, and standing in the door, he said: Hear me, suitors of the queen!
之后他走回去，站在門口，說道：聽著，女王的追求者們。
Antinous has struck me because I am poor. May the curse of the hungry light on him, ere he come to his marriage day!
安提諾俄斯擊打我是因為我窮，愿饑餓的詛咒照亮他，直到他結(jié)婚的那一天！
