and much respected. So, looks like you've beaten the rap."

看来你混得很开啊"
And Achilles says,

而阿基里斯答道
"Odysseus, don't say a word to me about the virtues of death.

"奥德赛别跟我提冥界有多好了
Better to be a serf, the lowest serf on the earth,

在世上做一个奴隶一个最卑贱的奴隶
than to be a king in Hades."

也比在冥界称王要好得多"
Now, that's as bad as it can possibly be.

冥界就是这么糟
The great Achilles,

伟大的阿基里斯
respected still in the afterworld

死后在下界都受到尊敬的人物
would immediately turn it in to be a complete nobody on earth.

都情愿立刻成为世间的一个无名小卒
So, it's very important. They faced without any real retreat

这是很重要的他们直面
the reality and the negative character of death,

现实和死亡的负面特质
even as they refused to reject the significance of life

尽管他们拒绝否定人类生命的伟大
