普鲁塔克:希腊罗马名人传·摘录 48
普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 行动 · 领导 · 历史
"I and Vergilia, my countrywomen, have an equal share with you all in the common miseries, and we have the additional sorrow, which is wholly ours, that we have lost the merit and good fame of Marcius, and see his person confined, rather than protected, by the arms of the enemy. Yet I account this the greatest of all misfortunes, if indeed the affairs of Rome be sunk to so feeble a state as to have their last dependence upon us. For it is hardly imaginable he should have any consideration left for us, when he has no regard for the country which he was wont to prefer before his mother and wife and children. Make use, however, of our service; and lead us, if you please, to him; we are able, if nothing more, at least to spend our last breath in making suit to him for our country."

白话
“我和维吉莉娅,你的同胞,与你们所有人一样承受着共同的苦难,但我们还有一份完全属于我们自己的悲伤:我们失去了马歇斯的功绩和好名声,还看到他人身被敌人武装围困,而不是受到保护。然而,如果罗马的事务真的衰败到只能依靠我们,那我才认为这是最大的不幸。因为当他连自己一向看得比母亲、妻子和孩子更重的祖国都不顾时,很难想象他还会对我们有任何考虑。不过,请利用我们的作用吧;如果你愿意,带我们去见他;我们至少能用最后一口气,为我们的国家向他求情。”
上下文
普鲁塔克《科里奥兰纳斯传》中,被放逐的将军马歇斯率敌围城,其母与妻子前往敌营劝说的场景。
