有声名著《格列佛游记》57：第11章 格勒大锥和拉格奈格(2)
I visited the President every day during my stay，and soon gotused to seeing the ghosts.One day the Presidentsaid，Gulliver，would you like to call a ghost?It could beanyone from the beginning of the world up to the presentday.You could ask them questions about their lives.And youcan be sure they'll tell the truth—ghosts always do.
我在逗留期间天天去拜访总统，不久就习惯了看鬼魂。有一天总统说，格列佛，你想不想叫一个鬼魂来?可以从世界开始那一时刻起直到现在的任何一个。你可以问他们关于他们一生的问题。而且你可以肯定他们会告诉实情——鬼魂总是这样的。
That's very kind of you，sir，I replied，and thought hard for a moment.First，I'd like to seeAlexander the Great，please.' The President pointed out of the window.There in a large fieldwas the ghost of Alexander，with his huge army.This famous king lived long ago in Macedoniain northern Greece.
非常感谢你，先生。我回答说，费力地考虑了一会，首先，我想见亚历山大大帝，拜托。总统向窗外一指，那儿，在一个大的战场上出现了亚历山大大帝的鬼魂，以及他庞大的军队。这个伟大的国王很久以前生活在北希腊的马其顿。
His kingdom covered many countries，from Greece to Egypt，from Persia to parts of India.Buthe died very young，when he was only thirty-three，and no one knew why.The Presidentcalled him into the room.Great King，I said to him，just tell me one thing.Were youmurdered，or did you die naturally!
他的王国包括许多国家，从希腊到埃及，从波斯到印度的部分地区，但是他很年轻就死了，只活了33岁，谁也不知道为什么。总统叫他进屋来。伟大的国王，我对他说，只告诉我一件事，你是被谋杀的还是自然死亡?
Young man，he replied，nobody murdered me.I drank too much and died of a fever.
年轻人，他回答说，没有人谋杀我，我喝得太多，死于热病。
