来自《耶鲁大学开放课程：古希腊历史简介第18集第18集》

There's no evidence they care about which side wins;

没有证据说他们会关心哪一方获胜
they see no point in getting involved themselves.

他们认为没必要卷入纷争中去
An important part of the story of Corcyra

有关克基拉岛比较重要的一点
and its significance in the coming of the war

这在接下来的战争中也很重要
is that it was neutral towards everybody.

那就是它对任何一方都保持中立
It was not a part of the Peloponnesian confederation.

它不是伯罗奔尼撒联盟中的一员
It was not part of the Athenian League,

也不是雅典联盟中的一员
and it wasn't associated with anybody else.

没有和任何一方结盟
In fact, it had a reputation if you can believe the Corinthians

事实上克基拉岛几乎名声在外
of being terribly uppity and unassociating with anybody.

以极度傲慢和不结盟著称
I guess if you asked a Corcyrian

我猜你们若问一个克基拉岛人他的看法
he might have used Lord Salisbury's term

他会用索尔兹伯里侯爵
