16 A New Day, a New Battle

CHAPTER 16 A New Day, a New Battle Dawn appeared. Thetis arrived with new armor for Achilles. The goddess found her son weeping over Patroclus's body. She took his hand. "My child, you must leave your friend now. Leave him even though it breaks your heart. I bring you a gift from the god of fire. It is new armor. This armor is finer than any armor a mortal has ever worn!" "You are right, Mother," he said. "This armor is magnificent. There is nothing finer. I am ready to wear it and go into battle."

第十六章新的一天，新的战斗曙光出现了。 忒提斯给阿喀琉斯带来了新盔甲。 女神发现她的儿子在普特洛克勒斯的尸体前哭泣。 她握住他的手。“我的孩子，你现在必须离开你的朋友。 离开他，即使这伤了你的心。 我给你带来了火神的礼物。 这是新的盔甲。这身盔甲比任何凡人穿过的盔甲都要精美！”“你说得对，妈妈，”他说。 “这件盔甲很华丽。 没有比这更好的了。我已经准备好穿上它去战斗了。”

Achilles put on his armor and joined the Achaeans on the battlefield. He was greeted with cheers and slaps on the back. He raised his arm to silence the crowd. "Fellow Achaeans," Achilles shouted. "I am here to fight with each of you to defeat Hector. I am here to avenge the death of Patroclus—not to support King Agamemnon." Agamemnon addressed Achilles: "I am glad you have returned to us, old friend. I mean to set things right between us." "But now we must move," said Achilles. "There is no time for talking. We are here to fight, and we are here to win. Let's get to it!" While Achilles and the Achaeans prepared for battle, Zeus called all the gods for a meeting. Even Poseidon made his way from the sea and joined them in the great hall. Poseidon was suspicious of Zeus's plans. "Why do you call us all to Mount Olympus?

阿喀琉斯穿上盔甲，加入了战场上的亚该亚人。 他受到了欢呼和拍背的欢迎。 他举起手臂让人群安静下来。 “阿该亚人的同胞们，”阿喀琉斯喊道。 “我在这里和你们每个人一起打败赫克托耳。 我是来为普特洛克勒斯复仇的，而不是来支持阿伽门农国王的。” 阿伽门农对阿喀琉斯说：“我很高兴你回到了我们身边，老朋友。 我是想让我们之间的关系恢复正常。” “但现在我们必须行动了。”阿喀琉斯说。 “没有时间说话了。 我们来这里是为了战斗，我们来这里是为了胜利。 我们开始吧！”当阿喀琉斯和亚该亚人准备战斗时，宙斯召集了所有的神开会。 就连波塞冬也从海上赶来，在大厅里加入了他们。 波塞冬怀疑宙斯的计划。 “你为什么把我们都叫到奥林匹斯山？”

Could this be about the Trojan and Achaean armies facing each other again? Are you concerned that they will burst into flames with anger and violence?" "You know my plans, Poseidon. You know that I am concerned for these mortals," Zeus said. "I will remain on Mount Olympus to watch the battle from my throne. The rest of you, go down to Earth. Join the Trojans or the Achaeans as you will. You can each decide which side you will support. Achilles fights for the Achaeans. The Trojans now do not stand a chance. Achilles is even more powerful after Patroclus's death. We must even the playing field." The gods went down to earth. Hera, Athena, and Poseidon joined the Achaeans. Hermes, the god of luck, and Hephaestus, the god of fire, followed them. Aphrodite, Ares, and Artemis joined the Trojans. Zeus filled the skies with lightning and

这是关于特洛伊和亚该亚军队再次对峙吗？ 你担心他们会因愤怒和暴力而燃烧起来吗？”“你知道我的计划，波塞冬。 你知道我很关心这些凡人，”宙斯说。 “我将留在奥林匹斯山上，从我的宝座上观看战斗。 剩下的人，滚回地球去。 加入特洛伊人或亚该亚人随你便。 你们可以各自决定支持哪一方。 阿喀琉斯为亚该亚人而战。 特洛伊人现在没有机会了。 普特洛克勒斯死后，阿喀琉斯更加强大了。 我们必须创造公平的竞争环境。” 众神来到人间。 赫拉、雅典娜和波塞冬加入了亚该亚人。 幸运之神赫尔墨斯和火神赫菲斯托斯紧随其后。 阿芙罗狄蒂、阿瑞斯和阿尔忒弥斯加入了特洛伊人。 宙斯让天空充满闪电

thunder. Poseidon shook the boundless earth and towering mountains. The whole world quaked so violently that Hades, lord of the dead, jumped from his throne and shouted. He feared the world would burst open. God fought against god, and man fought against man. Achilles searched for Prince Hector on the battlefield. He was full of fury. Any Trojan soldier standing in his way did not have a chance. Achilles cut them down as he searched for Hector. The Achaean warrior was brutal. Even the gods did not want to face Achilles on the battlefield. Yet someone had to stop him. Apollo went to Aeneas, son of Aphrodite, and spoke in his ear. He persuaded Aeneas to face Achilles. Aeneas left his ranks. He approached Achilles with long menacing strides. He kept his shield out to protect himself. But Achilles moved quickly. He was like a cat hunting in the wild. He leaped out to capture his prey.

雷声。波塞冬震撼了辽阔的大地和巍峨的群山。 整个世界都剧烈地震动，死者之主哈迪斯从他的宝座上跳了下来，大声喊道。 他担心世界会炸开。 神与神争战，人与人争战。 阿喀琉斯在战场上寻找赫克托耳王子。 他满腔怒火。任何挡在他面前的特洛伊士兵都没有机会。 阿喀琉斯在寻找赫克托耳时砍倒了他们。 亚该亚勇士很残忍。 就连众神也不愿在战场上面对阿喀琉斯。 但总得有人阻止他。 阿波罗找到阿芙罗狄蒂的儿子埃涅阿斯，在他耳边说话。 他说服埃涅阿斯去面对阿喀琉斯。 埃涅阿斯离开了他的队伍。他气势汹汹地大步走近阿喀琉斯。 他把盾牌拿出来保护自己。 但阿喀琉斯行动迅速。 他就像一只在野外狩猎的猫。 他跳出来捕捉猎物。

"Aeneas," Achilles said. "Why are you so far from your troops? Are you really so brave? Has Priam promised you treasure if you beat me?" Aeneas said, "You cannot frighten me with words. I can throw insults, too. And I can throw other things." And with that he flung a spear at Achilles. It clanged against Achilles's massive gold shield. Achilles sent his own spear flying. Aeneas crouched low and raised his shield high. The spear stuck in the ground behind Aeneas. Aeneas stood up. He was frightened but brave. Achilles charged at him again. The Achaean was wild, rushing toward his opponent. Achilles lifted a giant boulder over his head. This was a tremendous feat. It weighed a ton, but Achilles raised it with ease. He moved to thrust the boulder at Aeneas. But Aphrodite interfered. Aphrodite was upset that Apollo had

“埃涅阿斯，”阿喀琉斯说。“你为什么离部队这么远？” 你真的那么勇敢吗？如果你打败我，普里阿摩斯答应给你财宝吗？”埃涅阿斯说：“你不能用言语吓唬我。 我也会侮辱你。我还能扔别的东西。” 说着，他向阿喀琉斯扔了一支长矛。 它在阿喀琉斯巨大的金盾上发出叮当声。 阿喀琉斯把自己的矛打飞了。 埃涅阿斯蹲下身子，高高举起盾牌。 长矛插在埃涅阿斯身后的地上。 埃涅阿斯站了起来。他很害怕，但很勇敢。 阿喀琉斯再次向他冲去。 亚该亚人发狂了，向他的对手冲去。 阿喀琉斯把一块巨石举过头顶。 这是一项了不起的壮举。 它重达一吨，但阿喀琉斯轻而易举地举起了它。 他想把巨石扔向埃涅阿斯。 但是阿佛洛狄忒干涉了。阿芙罗狄蒂很不高兴，因为阿波罗

tricked Aeneas into facing Achilles. Aeneas never stood a chance in that battle. Aphrodite had to do something to help. She covered Achilles in mist so thick that he could not see in front of him. When the fog cleared, Aeneas was gone. Achilles returned to his troops. He encouraged them to fight harder against the Trojans. "We must all fight strongly. Do not hang back. Join me in fighting with full force!" Hector was doing the same with his Trojan troops. He encouraged them to put all their power into fighting the Achaeans. Hector kept a close eye on Achilles, always knowing where that warrior was on the battlefield. Hector, seeing Achilles strike with his sword, heard a familiar cry. The Achaean had stabbed one of his brothers and left him near death. Hector could bear no more of this. The

诱骗埃涅阿斯面对阿喀琉斯。 埃涅阿斯在那场战斗中毫无胜算。 阿芙罗狄蒂必须做点什么来帮忙。 她给阿喀琉斯蒙上了厚厚的迷雾，使他看不见前方。 雾散去后，埃涅阿斯走了。 阿喀琉斯回到了他的部队。 他鼓励他们更加努力地与特洛伊人作战。 “我们必须全力以赴。 不要退缩。和我一起全力战斗吧！”赫克托耳对他的特洛伊军队也是如此。 他鼓励他们全力以赴与亚该亚人作战。 赫克托耳密切注视着阿喀琉斯，总是知道那个战士在战场上的位置。 赫克托耳看到阿喀琉斯挥剑攻击，听到一声熟悉的叫声。 这个亚该亚人刺伤了他的一个兄弟，使他濒临死亡。 赫克托耳再也忍不下去了。 的
