2 The Cyclops

Chapter 2 The Cyclops The Greek kings shared out the treasure between them. Then all the ships set sail for home. But Ulysses and his men got lost.

第二章独眼巨人希腊国王把财宝分给了他们。 然后所有的船都起航回家了。 但是尤利西斯和他的部下迷路了。

After two weeks at sea, they landed on an island to look for more food and water. All they had left to drink was some wine, which they took with them.

在海上航行两周后，他们在一个岛上登陆，寻找更多的食物和水。 他们所能喝的只有一些酒，他们带走了。

At the top of a cliff, they found a cave. It was full of huge cheeses and vast buckets of milk. The men called out but there was no answer. "Let's go in and eat now," suggested Ulysses. "Then we can wait for the owner."

在悬崖顶上，他们发现了一个山洞。 里面装满了巨大的奶酪和大桶的牛奶。 那些人喊了一声，但没有人回答。 “我们现在进去吃饭吧，”尤利西斯建议道。 “然后我们就可以等主人了。”

As they ate, a shadow fell on the men. They looked up and saw a one-eyed giant- a Cyclops. He drove his sheep into the cave and rolled a rock across the entrance, blocking them in...

他们吃的时候，有一个影子落在他们身上。 他们抬头一看，看见了一个独眼巨人——独眼巨人。 他把羊赶到山洞里，把一块石头滚过洞口，把它们堵在里面。

His one enormous eye glared at the Greeks. "Who are you?" he roared. As Ulysses tried to explain, the Cyclops snatched up two men. He crushed them in his fists and ate them both.

他的一只大眼睛瞪着希腊人。 “你是谁？”他吼道。尤利西斯试图解释，独眼巨人抓住了两个人。 他用拳头把它们捏碎，两个都吃了。

Then the Cyclops gave a loud burp, lay down and went to sleep. The men begged Ulysses to kill him before he ate them too. "No," said their wise king. "If I kill him, who's going to move that heavy rock and set us free?"

然后独眼巨人打了一个响亮的嗝，躺下睡着了。 人们恳求尤利西斯在吃掉他们之前杀了他。 “不，”他们聪明的国王说。 “如果我杀了他，谁来搬那块大石头，让我们自由？”
