One of my favorite examples is

其中一个我很常举的例子就是
the colony on the south shore of the Bosporus,

在博斯普鲁斯南部海岸的殖民地
which is called Chalcedon.

叫做卡尔西顿
It's right opposite Constantinople--

就在君士坦丁堡对面
that doesn't exist, Istanbul.

现在我们叫它伊斯坦布尔
Winston Churchill never, never conceded that it was Istanbul;

温斯顿·丘吉尔从没承认那里是伊斯坦布尔
he called it Constantinople till the day he died.

直到死前他还叫那个地方君士坦丁堡
But right opposite that magnificent site, the golden horn is there.

就是在那块宝地对面金角湾就在那啊
How could you possibly settle there,

他们怎么能建立在那个不毛之地呢
because they settled Chalcedon first

因为他们先前在卡尔西顿定居了
and the tradition that the Greeks pass on is the people

根据古希腊的传统记载
who settle chalcedon were blind men,

住在那里的人都是盲人
