古德明《征服英语》之英语军事故事,古德明,香港英语教育作家,他开了一个《征服英语专栏》,在专栏中专门用英语写了世界近代史上的军事小故事,用英语讲述历史中那些惊心动魄的战争。天 心 难 测

wary of invading the persian empire, croesus, king of lydia, consulted the oracle at delphi, which replied that if he went to war, he would destroy a great empire.
thus encouraged, he promptly attacked the persians, who proceeded to throttle the lydians, capture their capital, and throw croesus into prison. understandably aggrieved, croesus sent a delegation to delphi demanding to know why the oracle had deceived him.

the oracle's reply was simple. apollo had hardly deceived him. croesus had indeed destroyed a great empire: his own.

里 底 亚 国 王 克 里 萨 斯 不 敢 贸 然 进 侵 波 斯 帝 国 , 向 特 耳 菲 神 示 所 请 求 指 点 , 得 到 的 回 答 是 , 假 如 他 起 兵 , 就 会 摧 毁 一 个 大 帝 国 。
克里 萨 斯 胆 子 壮 了 , 马 上 进 侵 波 斯 。 波 斯 把 里 底 亚 军 队 打 得 一 败 涂 地 , 还 攻 占 里 底 亚首 都 , 抓 了 克 里 萨 斯 入 狱 。 克 里 萨 斯 当 然 不 胜 愤 恨 , 遣 代 表 团 到 特 耳 菲 , 质 问 神 示所 为 什 么 骗 他 。
