but because of the fact that it was not legitimately acquired.

而是因为它不是合法获得的政权
It was not part of the normal way things happened,

僭主制并不是社会正常权利交接的产物
and I've mentioned this to you earlier.

这点我之前也提到了
A good example of that is Oedipus Tyrannos, Oedipus the King.

俄狄浦斯王 Oedipus Tyrannos就是很好的例子
Notice that nobody translates it as Oedipus the Tyrant.

注意下没有人翻译成"Oedipus the Tyrant"
They are right not to do so, because it would mislead us.

这是不对的因为那会误导我们
The way we use the word Tyrant, it's always bad.

当我们说到"Tyrant"时大都是贬义的
There's no good Tyrant. But you will often see it translated,

没有好的Tyrant 最常见的翻译是
Oedipus Rex, into the Latin,but Rex means king.

拉丁语"Oedipus Rex" Rex就是王的意思
So, Oedipus the King is okay.

所以翻译成"俄狄浦斯王"是可以的
Actually, it's not bad to say Oedipus Rex,

其实说"俄狄浦斯王"也无妨
because the Romans had this idea that kings were bad;

但因为罗马人认为国王都是恶人
