普鲁塔克:希腊罗马名人传·摘录 70

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导

Sylla, having marched through Thessaly and Macedon to the sea-coast, prepared, with twelve hundred vessels, to cross over from Dyrrhachium to Brundisium. Not far from hence is Apollonia, and near it the Nymphaeum, a spot of ground where, from among green trees and meadows, there are found at various points springs of fire continually streaming out. Here, they say, a satyr, such as statuaries and painters represent, was caught asleep, and brought before Sylla, where he was asked by several interpreters who he was, and, after much trouble, at last uttered nothing intelligible, but a harsh noise, something between the neighing of a horse and crying of a goat. Sylla, in dismay, and deprecating such an omen, bade it be removed.

白话

苏拉率军穿过色萨利和马其顿到达海岸,准备用一千二百艘船从都拉基乌姆渡海到布林迪西。附近有阿波罗尼亚,再近处是宁法厄姆,那里绿树成荫、草地遍布,多处有火焰般的泉水不断涌出。据说有人在此捉到一个睡着的萨提尔,像雕塑和画家描绘的那种,带到苏拉面前。几个翻译问他是什么,他费好大劲只发出一种介于马嘶和羊叫之间的刺耳噪音。苏拉大惊,认为是不祥之兆,命人把他带走。核心是:面对无法解释的异象,人容易因恐惧而回避,而非探究。

上下文

普鲁塔克《苏拉传》。苏拉在渡海回意大利前,遇到被俘的萨提尔,视为凶兆。

今日一问

遇到无法解释的怪事时,你通常会恐惧回避,还是冷静探究?
