Cicero, receiving this answer, consulted with his friends. Lucullus advised him to stay, as being sure to prevail at last; others to fly, because the people would soon desire him again, when they should have enough of the rage and madness of Clodius. This last Cicero approved. But first he took a statue of Minerva, which had been long set up and greatly honored in his house, and carrying it to the capitol, there dedicated it, with the inscription, "To Minerva, Patroness of Rome." And receiving an escort from his friends, about the middle of the night he left the city, and went by land through Lucania, intending to reach Sicily.

白话

西塞罗收到答复后和朋友商量。卢库卢斯劝他留下,认为他最终会赢;其他人劝他出走,因为民众受够克洛狄乌斯的疯狂后很快会想念他。西塞罗采纳了后一种意见。但他先把家中长期供奉、极受尊崇的密涅瓦神像搬到卡皮托利山,献上并刻字“献给罗马的保护神密涅瓦”,然后在朋友护送下,于半夜离开罗马,经陆路穿过卢卡尼亚,打算去西西里。这告诉我们:在政治风暴中,有时暂时退场是保存实力的理性选择,但退场前要安排好象征性的交代,稳住人心。

上下文

普鲁塔克《西塞罗传》记述公元前58年西塞罗因克洛狄乌斯法案被迫流亡前的抉择。

今日一问

当你面对无法硬扛的冲突时,能否设计一个体面的“暂时退场”,而不是硬碰硬?
