The Odyssey Rendered into English prose for the use of those who cannot read the original

Tell me, Muse, of that man, so ready at need, who wandered far and wide, after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy, and many were the men whose towns he saw and whose mind he learnt, yea, and many the woes he suffered in his heart on the deep, striving to win his own life and the return of his company.

请告诉我，缪斯，那个在危急时刻总是准备就绪的人的事迹，他四处漂泊，攻陷了特洛伊这座神圣的城堡之后，他见识了许多人的城镇，了解了许多人的心思，是的，他在深海中遭受了许多苦难，为了保全自己的生命和同伴的归来而努力奋斗。

But when now the year had come in the courses of the seasons, wherein the gods had ordained that he should return home to Ithaca, not even there was he quit of labours, not even among his own.

但是当季节轮回，岁月流逝，众神已经注定他应该返回伊萨卡的时候，他甚至在那里也没有摆脱劳苦，甚至在他自己的人民中也是如此。
