Two Brave Trojans
两个勇敢的特洛伊人
In the meanwhile Turnus had collected his bands and made all necessary preparations for the war.Juno sent Iris to him with a message incitingincite vt.激动，煽动him to take advantage of the absence of Aeneas and surprise the Trojan camp.Accordingly the attempt was made，but the Trojans were found on their guard，and having received strict orders from Aeneas not to fight in his absence，they lay still in their intrenchments and resisted all the effort of the Rutulians to draw them into the field.Night coming on the army of Turnus，in high spirits at their fancied superiority，feasted and enjoyed themselves and finally stretched themselves on the field and slept securesecure adj.安全的，可靠的，放心的，无虑的v.保护.
与此同时，图努斯已经召集了他那一伙人并进行了一切必要的战争准备？朱诺派伊里斯捎信给图努斯煽动他趁埃涅阿斯不在时突然袭击特洛伊营地？他按照伊里斯的话进行袭击，但特洛伊人有所戒备？由于埃涅阿斯下过一道他不在时不许作战的严格命令，特洛伊人静静地躺在壕沟里，抵制了儒图利人引诱他们走上战场的种种尝试？夜幕降临，图努斯部队自以为拥有优势而兴高采烈，人人大吃大喝，自得其乐，最后躺在战场上安然入睡？
In the camp of the Trojans things were far otherwise.There all was watchful and anxiety and impatience for Aeneass return.Nisus stood guard at the entrance of the camp，and Euryalus，a youth distinguished above all in the army for graces of person and fine qualities，was with him.These two were friends and brothers in arms.Nisus said to his friend，“Do you perceive what confidence and carelessness the enemy display？Their lights are few and dim，and the men seem all oppressed with wine or sleep.You know how anxiously our chiefs wish to send to Aeneas and to get intelligenceintelligence n.智力，聪明，智能from him.Now I am strongly moved to make my way through the enemys camp and to go in search of our chief.If I succeed，the glory of the deed will be reward enough for me，and if they judge the service deserves any thing more，let them pay it to you.”
特洛伊人兵营的情况大不一样，人人提高警惕，他们为埃涅阿斯迟迟不归而焦躁不安？尼索斯守卫着营地大门，和他在一起的是风度和人品都在军中出类拔萃的青年欧吕阿鲁斯？他们既是朋友又是战友？尼索斯对他的朋友说：“你看出来了吗？敌人表现得十分自信和满不在乎？他们点的灯不多而且灯光朦朦胧胧？这些人似乎全都醉如烂泥或睡意很浓？你可知道我们的将领迫不及待地希望派人到埃涅阿斯那里领取信息？现在，我非常想通过敌人的兵营去寻找我们的首领？假如成功，这一行动的荣誉对我来说就是足够的奖赏？如果他们认为这种表现还有更大的价值的话，那就让他们把报偿付给你？”
Euryalus，all on fire with the love of adventure，replied，“Would you then，Nisus，refuse to share your enterprise with me？I am fixed in the resolutionresolution n.坚定，决心，决定，决议to go with you.Let us lose no time.”They called the guard and，committing the watch to them，sought the generals tent.They found the chief officers in consultation，deliberating how they should send notice to Aeneas of their situation.The offer of the two friends was gladly accepted，themselves loaded with praises and promised the most liberalliberal n.自由主义者(尤指英国？加拿大等国的)adj.慷慨的，不拘泥的，宽大的，自由主义的rewards in case of success.
欧吕阿鲁斯浑身燃烧着爱冒险的激情，他答道，“难道你还要拒绝让我参与这行动吗？我已经下定决心跟你一起去，咱们别浪费时间了？”他们把警卫叫来，向人交代了看守任务，然后走向将军的营帐？他们发现将领们正在磋商，考虑如何把他们的处境向埃涅阿斯汇报？他们高兴地接受了两位友人的提议，对他们大加赞扬，并且答应事成之后给他们最慷慨的奖赏？
