§subject_2This brings us to the point at which the action of the play commences.
由此，我们来到了剧本行动开始的时间点。
Simo determines to tell Pamphilus that he is to be married to Philumena, hoping to place him in a dilemma; for if he refused, then he could take him severely to task; if he consented, then Chremes might be gained over, and after all the match might take place.
西莫决定告诉潘皮卢斯他将要与菲卢墨娜结婚，企图使他陷入两难的境地；因为如果他拒绝，西莫就可以严厉地责备他；如果他同意，那么克雷梅斯就可以被说服，婚礼最终可能得以举行。
Accordingly he tells Pamphilus by the way in the Forum that he is to be married that very day.
于是，他在广场上顺便告诉潘皮卢斯，他就在当天结婚。
Pamphilus returns home in amazement; but is met by Mysis, servant of Glycerium, who revives his old affection for her mistress.
潘皮卢斯惊愕地回到家中，却遇到了格吕凯里乌斯的女仆米西斯，她重新唤起了他对女主人的旧情。
Davus meanwhile sifts the whole matter to the bottom; finds that the marriage is a pretence, and accordingly recommends Pamphilus to humour his father to the utmost, and express his entire readiness to marry as soon as he pleases.
与此同时，达乌斯彻底查清了事情的真相，发现这桩婚事纯属伪装，因此建议潘皮卢斯极力迎合他的父亲，并表示只要父亲高兴，他随时准备结婚。
At the same time he is to keep up his intimacy with Glycerium, that Chremes may be as shy of his connexion as he is now.
同时，他还要保持与格吕凯里乌斯的亲密关系，以便让克雷梅斯像现在这样对他与她的关系保持戒心。
Meanwhile there is a by-plot at work.
与此同时，一个副线情节也在展开。
One Charinus, a friend of Pamphilus, who is in love with Philumena, hears with dismay that she is to be married to his friend, and urges him to do all in his power to defer the marriage if possible.
潘皮卢斯的朋友卡林图斯爱着菲卢墨娜，当他沮丧地听到她将与他的朋友结婚时，便敦促潘皮卢斯尽一切努力尽可能推迟婚期。
So affairs stand when Glycerium is brought to bed of a son, Simo, who hears what is going on, imagining, and being confirmed by Davus in the belief, that this is merely an artifice of Glycerium and her friends to prevent Pamphilus’ marriage.
事态正处于这一阶段时，格吕凯里乌斯生下了一个儿子。 听到传闻的西莫认为，而且在达乌斯的证实下更加确信，这只是格吕凯里乌斯和她的朋友们为了阻止潘皮卢斯结婚而搞的诡计。
He accordingly again treats with Chremes on the subject of the marriage of Pamphilus and Philumena, and extorts a reluctant consent.
因此，他再次与克雷梅斯商讨潘皮卢斯和菲卢墨娜的婚事，并迫使对方勉强同意。
This places Davus in a great strait; for Pamphilus now reproaches him with his untoward advice, which has got him into this mischief; and Charinus too is indignant to the last degree at the treachery of Pamphilus.
这使达乌斯陷入了极大的困境；因为潘皮卢斯现在正责备他不当的建议让自己陷入了这场灾难，而卡林图斯也对潘皮卢斯的背叛感到无比愤怒。
As a last resource Davus places the child before Simo’s door, and contrives that Chremes shall hear its history from Mysis.
作为最后的手段，达乌斯将孩子放在西莫的门前，并设法让克雷梅斯从米西斯那里听到孩子的故事。
This causes a fresh rupture between Chremes and Simo.
这导致了克雷梅斯和西莫之间新的决裂。
At this moment there arrives a native of Andros, Crito, next of kin to Chrysis, who has come to Athens to claim her property.
就在这时，安德洛斯人克里托（克吕西斯的近亲）来到了雅典，来继承她的遗产。
He clears up the previous history of Glycerium, who is joyfully recognized as Chremes’ daughter, and all parties are made happy; Simo being with some difficulty gained over to forgive past offences, and to receive his son and Davus into favour again.
他澄清了格吕凯里乌斯的过去，她被欢天喜地地确认为克雷梅斯的女儿，所有人皆大欢喜；西莫在克服了一些困难之后被说服原谅过去的过错，并重新接纳了他的儿子和达乌斯。

§1Poeta quum primum animum ad scribendum appulit, §2Id sibi negoti credidit solum dari §3Populo ut placerent quas fecisset fabulas.
当诗人最初将心思投向写作时，他相信交给自己唯一的任务就是，使他所创作的戏剧能博得民众的喜爱。
§4Verum aliter evenire multo intelligit.
但他明白，事情的发展却大不相同。
