The Iliad

Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.

歌唱吧，女神！歌唱阿喀琉斯——珀琉斯之子——的愤怒，那愤怒给阿开奥斯人带来了无尽的灾祸。

A plain man cannot stand against the anger of a king, who if he swallow his displeasure now, will yet nurse revenge till he has wreaked it.

普通人无法抵挡君王的怒火；他即使此刻隐忍，日后也必定伺机报复。
