an extremely tough decision.

一个艰难的抉择
I want to try to communicate to you

我尽量跟你们说明
my sense of how difficult the calls are in this situation.

那时候的情况是多么的复杂
Now, one natural reaction would be this,

现在一般的正常反应会是这样的
it seems to me.

据我来看
Why in the world should we accept this defection

凭什么我们就得忍受
from the Peloponnesian league,

伯罗奔尼撒联盟的背叛
because it is bound to anger the Spartans

就因为那会触怒斯巴达
and very likely bring us a war with the Peloponnesians,

并招致这里的战端
which is a very hard thing to face?

哪种情况更难面对呢
What do we care about the quarrel

在米加腊与科林斯的争端中
between Megara and Corinth?

我们究竟在乎什么
