Selected original passage所选原文
3.9.1de Gabinio nihil fuit faciendum istorum quae a te amantissime cogitata sunt. Τότε μοι χάνοι—! feci summa cum gravitate, ut omnes sentiunt, et summa cum lenitate quae feci. illum neque ursi neque levavi, testis vehemens fui, praeterea quievi. exitum iudici foedum et perniciosum levissime tuli; quod quidem bonum mihi nunc denique redundat, ut his malis rei publicae licentiaque audacium, qua ante rumpebar, nunc ne movear quidem. nihil est enim perditius his hominibus, his temporibus.Source unit XML · 来源单元Editorial summary编辑摘要
Cicero says he was a forceful witness and otherwise stayed quiet; he also reports his reaction to the result.西塞罗说自己激烈作证，此后不再行动，并谈及自己面对结果的反应。
After the selection选段之后
The next paragraph turns to books, study, leisure, villas and the children, then to Milo’s pursuit of the consulship and his finances. Cicero’s withdrawal from one contest coexists with continued investment in another.下段转入书籍、学问、闲暇、别墅与孩子，继而谈米洛竞选执政官及其财务。西塞罗从一个争端退身，并未停止投入另一个。

3.9.2itaque ex re publica quoniam nihil iam voluptatis capi potest, cur stomacher nescio. Litterae me et studia nostra et otium villaeque delectant maximeque pueri nostri. angit unus Milo. sed velim finem adferat consulatus ; in quo enitar non minus quam sum enisus in nostro tuque istinc, quod facis, adiuvabis. de quo cetera, nisi plane vis eripuerit, recte sunt ; de re familiari timeo. ὁ δὲ μαίνεται οὐκ ἔτ' ἀνεκτῶς, qui ludus HS †cccↃ† comparet. cuius in hoc uno inconsiderantiam et ego sustinebo ut potero, et tu ut possis est tuorum nervorum.Source unit XML · 来源单元Cicero’s role differs between the two Gabinius trials: a witness in this one, counsel for the defence in the later trial for repetundae. The Greek words and the punctuation are printed as in Purser’s edition.西塞罗在两次加比尼乌斯案中角色不同：此案作证，后来的勒索案则为其辩护。希腊引句与标点均照 Purser 本。
