are they going to keep shelling out money for an oracle

为了得到神谕他们会不停地破费
that gives them answers that turn out to be wrong? No.

而这些神谕最后还是错的吗当然不会
Most of the things they asked

他们问的大部分问题
were questions that really had a yes or no answer,

都是有明确的答案是或否
and according to my thinking, there's no way they could have been

而且我觉得这答案绝不会错得太离谱
I think the oracle probably gained its fame

我想神谕之所以享有盛名
for being very good precisely at answering this question.

是因为它的答案非常准确
The question would have been

人们提得问题可能会是
what will happen

如果我去
if I go and try to settle a colony at the place which I will call Syracuse

锡拉库萨建立殖民地会发生什么事情
-that's what I've been describing

这就是我刚才描述过的
on the southeastern coast of Sicily.

发生在西西里东南岸的事
