Briefing

From Hour 5 to Hour 6 — the first siege从第 5 课到第 6 课 —— 首场围城

After the Sabis (Hour 5), Caesar's reputation in Belgic Gaul was decisive: the Aduatuci (or萨比斯（第 5 课）以后，凯撒在贝尔盖高卢的声望已成定局：阿杜阿图奇人（即 Atuatuci), descendants of Cimbri and Teutones who had stayed behind west of the Rhine when their main host marched south, had been planning to reinforce the Nervii — but turned back on hearing the news and consolidated in one massive stronghold (），辛布里人和条顿人的后裔（当主力南下时，他们留在莱茵河以西），本打算增援纳尔维人 —— 但一听到消息便折返，集结到一座巨大的据点（oppidum). The site was a hill rising out of the Belgic plain, naturally fortified on every side except one narrow approach 200 feet wide. Caesar invested it with a 12-foot rampart over 15 miles in circumference. Hour 6 reads the most dramatic siege story of Book 2 — the Atuatuci mock the Roman siege tower from their walls, then panic when it begins to move, then negotiate, then break their truce by night. The aftermath (DBG 2.33):）。该地是从贝尔盖平原上拔起的一座山丘，除了一条 200 英尺宽的狭窄通道外，四面都有天然防御。凯撒以一道 12 英尺高、周长逾 15 英里的壁垒把它围住。第 6 课读的是第二卷最富戏剧性的围城因此事 —— 阿杜阿图奇人在城墙上嘲笑罗马的攻城塔，塔一动便惊慌，随后谈判，又在夜里背弃停战。其后续（DBG 2.33）： 53,000 sold into slavery.五万三千人被卖为奴隶。

Hour 6: Siege of the Atuatuci — Source: DBG 2.30–32第 6 课：阿杜阿图奇围城 —— 出处：DBG 2.30–32

At the first approach of our army, they made frequent sallies from the town and fought small engagements with our men; afterwards, hemmed in by a rampart twelve feet high and fifteen miles in circuit and frequent forts, they kept themselves within the town. When, having pushed up our siege-sheds and built our siege-mound, they saw a tower being erected at a distance, they began to laugh from the wall and to taunt us — that so vast a machine should be erected at so great a distance: by what hands or by what strength did men of such small stature (for to almost all the Gauls our shortness, in contrast with the size of their bodies, is contemptible) trust themselves to place so great a weight of a tower on the wall? But when they saw it being moved and approaching their walls, alarmed by the new and unaccustomed sight, they sent envoys to Caesar concerning peace. They said: they did not think the Romans were waging war without divine help, who were able to move forward machines of such great height with such great speed. They surrendered themselves and all their things to Caesar's power. One thing they begged: that he would not strip them of their arms, since by their valor they had earned the hatred of their neighbors, from whom they could not defend themselves with arms surrendered. Caesar replied that he would preserve the state, more by his custom than by their merit, if they surrendered before the battering-ram had touched the wall, but that the only condition of surrender was the handing over of all weapons.

Connection to Wheelock与 Wheelock 教材的衔接

This hour pairs with本课配合 Wheelock Chapter 6 —Wheelock 第 6 章 —— Sum, Possum; Complementary Infinitive*. Possum ("I am able") is built directly on（“我能够”）直接建立在 sum: pot- (the "able" element) + the conjugated forms of（“能”的成分）加上 sum*. The hallmark construction this chapter teaches is thesum 的变位形式的上。本章所教的标志性结构是 complementary infinitive: a finite verb (most commonly：一个限定动词（最常见的是 possum, dēbeō, volō, parō, iubeō) that） requires需要 an infinitive to complete its meaning, e.g.,一个不定式来补足其意义，例如 nōn possumus dēfendere "we are not able to defend."“我们无法防御。”

Today's Task今日任务

Identify all the verbs in the passage. Pay special attention to找出段落中所有动词。请特别留意 complementary-infinitive constructions补语不定式结构: a finite verb (often a form of：一个限定动词（常为…的某种形式 possum) followed by an infinitive — both are tagged: the finite verb red (rule #1), the infinitive green (rule #4).）后接一个不定式 —— 两者都被标注：限定动词标红（规则 #1），不定式标绿（规则 #4）。

Grammar Target —语法目标 —— Sum, Possum & Complementary Infinitive与补语不定式

Possum — present indicative—— 现在时直陈式

Possum ("I am able / I can") is built on（“我能够／我会”）建立在 sum: prefix的上：前缀 pot- ("able") + the conjugated forms of（“能”）加上 sum. When sum begins with以…开头时， s, the t of pot- assimilates to同化为 s (so（于是 pot+sum → possum); before）；在其他字母以前， e/u, the t stays.则保持不变。

Complementary infinitive

The complementary infinitive completes the meaning of a finite verb that cannot stand alone. Many verbs require this construction; the most common in Caesar's prose:补足一个不能独立成立的限定动词的意义。许多动词需要这一结构；凯撒散文中最常见的：

• possum + inf. — "to be able to..." (+ 不定式 —— “能够……”（possumus dēfendere = "we can defend")= “我们能防御”）
• dēbeō + inf. — "to ought to..." (+ 不定式 —— “应当……”（dēbet venīre = "he ought to come")= “他应当来”）
• volō, nōlō, mālō + inf. — "to want / refuse / prefer to..."+ 不定式 —— “想要／拒绝／更愿意……”
• parō, cōnor + inf. — "to prepare / try to..."+ 不定式 —— “准备／尝试……”
• iubeō + acc. + inf. — "to order someone to..."+ 宾格 + 不定式 —— “命令某人……”
• incipiō, coepī + inf. — "to begin to..."+ 不定式 —— “开始……”

In a complementary-infinitive phrase, the在补语不定式短语中， finite verb takes the standard personal endings, while the采用标准的人称词尾，而 infinitive remains unchanged in form (no person, no number).在形式上保持不变（无人称、无数）。

Complementary infinitives in this hour's passage本课段落中的补语不定式

Several occur — most around出现了几处 —— 大多围绕 posse / its imperfect／它的未完成时 poterant / its future／它的将来时 poterimus:

• coepērunt inrīdere (s. 8) — "began to laugh" (（第 8 句）—— “开始嘲笑”（incipiō-family + inf.)族 + 不定式）
• cōnfīditis posse conlocāre (s. 9) — "are you confident that you are able to place" —（第 9 句）—— “你们有把握能够安放” —— double infinitive: posse governing conlocāre
• Putāmus … gerere nōn posse (s. 11) — "we think you cannot wage war" (indirect statement, infinitive（第 11 句）—— “我们认为你们无法发动战争”（间接引语，不定式 posse governing gerere)
• prōmovēre potestis (s. 12) — "you are able to advance / move forward"（第 12 句）—— “你们能够推进／向前移动”
• audīmus … esse (s. 14) — "we hear that [you] are" (indirect statement w/（第 14 句）—— “我们听说[你们]是”（间接引语，带 esse)
• sē dēfendere nōn poterimus (s. 15) — "we shall not be able to defend ourselves" — future of possum + inf.

Questions on the Narrative关于叙述的问题

1. Why was the Atuatuci town considered so defensible? Describe its situation.阿杜阿图奇城为何被认为如此易守？请描述它的形势。 Answer: It sat on a hill naturally fortified on all sides except one narrow 200-foot-wide approach, which the Atuatuci had reinforced with a double, very high wall and stocked with heavy stones and sharpened beams.它坐落在一座山丘上，除一条 200 英尺宽的狭窄通道外四面都有天然防御，而阿杜阿图奇人又用一道双重的、很高的墙加固了这条通道，并备下沉重的石块和削尖的梁木。

2. Why did the Atuatuci begin to laugh at the Romans from the wall?阿杜阿图奇人为什么开始在城墙上嘲笑罗马人？ Answer: They saw the Romans erecting a tower far away from the wall and could not imagine that men of such "small stature" (a Gallic mockery of Roman shortness compared to Gallic height) could ever bring such a heavy structure into position. They thought the engineering was absurd.他们看见罗马人在离墙很远处架设一座塔，无法想象“身材如此矮小”的人（这是高卢人对罗马人比高卢人矮的一种嘲弄）竟能把这么重的结构搬到位。他们觉得这套工程很荒唐。

3. What changed their attitude, and what theological conclusion did they draw?什么改变了他们的态度？他们得出了什么神学结论？ Answer: They saw the tower actually moving toward the wall. They concluded that the Romans could not be waging war "without divine help" (他们看见塔真的朝墙移动过来。他们断定罗马人作战不可能“没有神助”（sine ope dīvīnā) — a famous moment in which Caesar lets his enemy interpret Roman engineering as proof of divine favor.）—— 这是一个著名的时刻：凯撒让自己的敌人把罗马的工程解读为神明眷顾的证据。

4. What one specific concession did the Atuatuci beg from Caesar, and on what grounds?阿杜阿图奇人向凯撒恳求的具体让步是什么？理由是什么？ Answer: That Caesar not strip them of their arms. They argued that their valor had earned them the hatred of all their neighbors; without arms, they could not defend themselves once Caesar withdrew.请凯撒不要缴去他们的武器。他们辩称，他们的勇武为自己招来了所有邻邦的仇恨；一旦没有武器，凯撒一撤走，他们就无法自卫。

5. What single condition did Caesar set for accepting their surrender?凯撒接受投降只开出哪一个条件？ Answer: All weapons handed over (交出全部武器（armīs trāditīs) before the battering-ram (）—— 在攻城槌（aries) touched the wall. He invoked his）触及城墙以前。他援引自己的 cōnsuētūdō — his "custom" of leniency — as if it were standard rather than an exception. (DBG 2.33 then narrates how the Atuatuci broke this truce by night and Caesar sold—— 他宽大的“惯例” —— 仿佛这是常规而非例外。（DBG 2.33 接着叙述阿杜阿图奇人如何在夜里背弃这次停战，凯撒于是把 53,000 into slavery.)人卖为奴隶。）

Discussion讨论

1. The Atuatuci mock the Romans for being "of such small stature"阿杜阿图奇人嘲笑罗马人“身材如此矮小” (tantulae statūrae) — a real Gallic stereotype (the average Roman legionary was about 165 cm, the average Gaul perhaps 173 cm). How does Caesar use the enemy's own mockery to set up the dramatic reversal?）—— 一种真实的高卢刻板印象（罗马军团兵平均约 165 厘米，高卢人也许平均 173 厘米）。凯撒如何利用敌人自己的嘲弄来铺垫那场戏剧性的反转？

2. The Atuatuci interpret Roman engineering as阿杜阿图奇人把罗马的工程解读为 ope dīvīnā — divine help. This is Caesar—— 神助。这是凯撒在 quoting引述 his enemy. What rhetorical work does it do to present the conquered people themselves attributing Roman victories to divine favor? Compare with similar "the enemy admires us" moments in Tacitus (他的敌人。让被征服者自己把罗马的胜利归于神明眷顾，这在修辞上起什么作用？请与塔西佗中类似的“敌人钦佩我们”的时刻相比较（Agricola 30, Calgacus's speech).30，卡尔加库斯的演说）。

3. The single-condition negotiation单一条件的谈判 (armīs trāditīs) and Caesar's invocation of his own以及凯撒援引自己的 cōnsuētūdō ("custom") are rhetorical moves. He claims leniency is standard for him, just before the Atuatuci break truce and he sells 53,000 of them.（“惯例”）都是修辞手法。他声称宽大对他是常态 —— 就在阿杜阿图奇人背弃停战、他把五万三千人卖掉以前。 What is the rhetorical economy here?这里的修辞算计是什么？ What work is“惯例”一词 cōnsuētūdō doing?在起什么作用？
