普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导 · 健康
When by Agesilaus's order the prisoners he had taken in Phrygia were exposed to sale, they were first stripped of their garments, and then sold naked. The clothes found many customers to buy them, but the bodies being, from the want of all exposure and exercise, white and tender-skinned, were derided and scorned as unserviceable. Agesilaus, who stood by at the auction, told his Greeks, "These are the men against whom ye fight, and these the things you will gain by it."

白话
斯巴达国王阿格西劳斯下令拍卖在弗里吉亚抓到的俘虏。他先剥去他们的衣服,再让他们赤身出售。衣服很快被抢购一空,但那些因长期不锻炼、不见阳光而白嫩柔弱的身体,却遭到嘲笑,被认为毫无用处。阿格西劳斯站在拍卖场边对希腊人说:你们要与之作战的就是这些人,你们想赢得的战利品就是这些东西。他想让士兵明白,敌人外强中干,不必畏惧。
上下文
阿格西劳斯是斯巴达国王,公元前4世纪率军在小亚细亚与波斯作战,此事见于普鲁塔克《阿格西劳斯传》。
今日一问
你害怕的对手,是否也只是“衣服”吓人,剥开来看不过如此?
