There was an event that was connected with that movement up

当时有个事件与斯巴达向东北行动
towards the northeast, up to the Chalcidice,

与斯巴达向卡尔西狄克的行动有关
which was the most famous, I think--

这个事件我认为是最著名的--
there's a small competition for a couple of events,

当时因为某些琐事引发了一些小战役
but one of the most famous anyway in this period

但这个时期最有名的一次战役
illustrating the arrogance and power of the Spartan hegemony,

显示出斯巴达统治的傲慢和强权
a Spartan force was sent off

一支斯巴达军队被派往卡尔西狄克
ostensibly to reinforce their spartan army up there in the Chalcidice.

表面上是去支援那里的斯巴达军
It was led by a general named Phoebidas.

这只军队由福比达斯将军率领
As he was moving north on a route

当他往北行军
that would not have been the normal route to take,

选择的是一条并不寻常的路线
a route that took him right past the city of Thebes,

这条路线让他经过底比斯
