Odysseus and Eumaeus

1> Swineherd Eumaeus 在哪些方面展示了他的高贵(loyal,我翻成高贵)?

2> 你有注意到,本章还将这个宝贵的形容词,用来形容哪个人呢?

Here I sit, my heart aching, broken for him,

my master, my great king—fattening up

his own hogs for other men to eat, while he,

starving for food, I wager, wanders the earth,

a beggar adrift in strangers’ cities, foreign-speaking lands,

if he’s still alive, that is, still sees the rising sun.

二十载,即便众人都认为Odysseus已经死去而渐渐淡忘他时,我们忠诚而高贵的Eumaeus
仍然想着伟大的主人,永远的君主,为之心碎,为之哀叹,为之祈求。在他心中,希冀在某个遥远的国度,他的君王依然能够健康地活着。

loyal这个形容词还用来形容Penelope
