普鲁塔克:希腊罗马名人传·摘录 86

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导 · 健康 · 心性 · 哲学

Agesipolis, his fellow king, was under the disadvantage of being born of an exiled father, and himself young, modest, and inactive, meddled not much in affairs. Agesilaus took a course of gaining him over, and making him entirely tractable. According to the custom of Sparta, the kings, if they were in town, always dined together. This was Agesilaus's opportunity of dealing with Agesipolis, whom he found quick, as he himself was, in forming attachments for young men, and accordingly talked with him always on such subjects, joining and aiding him, and acting as his confidant, such attachments in Sparta being entirely honorable, and attended always with lively feeling of modesty, love of virtue, and a noble emulation; of which more is said in Lycurgus's life.

白话

另一位国王阿格西波利斯出身不利,父亲被流放,自己年轻、谦逊又不爱活动,很少插手政事。阿格西劳斯主动拉拢他,使他完全听命于自己。按斯巴达习俗,国王若在城中,总是一起用餐,阿格西劳斯便利用这机会与阿格西波利斯交谈。他发现对方和自己一样,容易对年轻人产生爱慕之情,于是总聊这类话题,支持并帮助他,做他的知心人。在斯巴达,这种情感被视为光荣,总伴随着羞怯、爱德和崇高的竞争心。

上下文

斯巴达实行双王制,阿格西劳斯与阿格西波利斯同为国王,此事见普鲁塔克《阿格西劳斯传》。
