In less time than one would think his own family could have known this accident, all the three hundred were at the door. And a little after, the people of Utica flocked thither, crying out with one voice, he was their benefactor and their savior, the only free and only undefeated man. At the very same time, they had news that Caesar was coming; yet neither fear of the present danger, nor desire to flatter the conqueror, nor the commotions and discord among themselves, could divert them from doing honor to Cato. For they sumptuously set out his body, made him a magnificent funeral, and buried him by the seaside, where now stands his statue, holding a sword. And only when this had been done, they returned to consider of preserving themselves and their city.

白话

不到人们认为他家人能得知这一变故的时间,三百人已全部来到门口。不久,乌提卡的民众也涌向那里,异口同声地喊他是他们的恩人和救星,是唯一自由且唯一未被击败的人。与此同时,他们得到消息说凯撒正在逼近;但无论是对眼前危险的恐惧,还是讨好征服者的欲望,抑或他们内部的动荡与不和,都不能阻止他们向加图致敬。他们隆重地布置他的遗体,为他举行了盛大的葬礼,将他葬在海边,那里如今立着他的雕像,手持一把剑。直到做完这些,他们才回过头来考虑保全自己和城市。

上下文
