what the Corinthians sell. Guess what?

科林斯人的哪些商品呢想想看
You've got great grain fields out there in Syracuse.

你在锡拉库萨有一大片粮田
Hard to believe today,

在今天很难想象
but Sicily was one of the major granaries

但西西里是当时地中海地区
of the Mediterranean world at that time,

最主要的粮仓之一
tremendously fruitful, able to grow the best possible crops,

产物丰盛能够种植最好的谷物
very good wheat and so on.

上乘的小麦等等
Corinth always needs that kind of stuff,

科林斯很需要这些作物
so we sell you our wheat,

所以我们销售给你们小麦
you sell us your pottery, you sell us good wine

你们销售陶器美酒给我们
that we can't grow yet

这些我们暂且无法生产
and maybe never will be able to grow in our neighborhood,

而且我们周边地区也许永远无法生产这些
