Sophocles, wrote the ancient play Antigone in 441 BC.

索福克勒斯在公元前 441 年寫出了古戲劇《安提戈涅》。

Antigone wants help from Ismene to bury their brother, Polyneices.

安提戈涅希望伊斯梅涅能幫忙埋葬她們的哥哥－波呂尼瑟斯。

Antigone repeats Creon's decree that anyone who attempts to bury Polyneices will be stoned.

安提戈涅重覆說著克里昂的法令：任何試圖埋葬波呂尼瑟斯之人，將賜予石刑。

Creon is the new king, so his threats are real.

克里昂是新的國王，所以他的威脅是真實的。

But Antigone can't sit idly by while her brother is food for the vultures.

但安提戈涅不能袖手旁觀，看著哥哥成為禿鷹的食物。

Yet, there's no way Ismene is going to help her.

The thought of being stoned to death petrifies Ismene.

遭受石刑的想法嚇著了伊斯梅涅。

Ismene reminds Antigone that they have already lost so much of their family due to the curse of Oedipus.

伊斯梅涅提醒安提戈涅，因為伊底帕斯的詛咒，她們已經失去太多家人了。

Ismene doesn't want to lose Antigone as well.

Unfortunately, Antigone makes it clear that she is not going to budge.

可惜的是，安提戈涅明確表示她不會改變主意。

Antigone is determined to bury Polyneices.

In the prayer, the Chorus is giving thanks for their recent victory.

Yet, the victory came with a steep price.

然而，勝利卻帶來了慘重的代價。

The city of 7 gates, Thebes, lost 7 of their generals which they had sent out to defeat the 7 enemy generals.

七門之邦，底比斯，他們失去了派出去擊敗 7 名敵將的 7 名將軍。

All died, including the brothers Eteocles and Polyneices who represented the opposing sides of the battle.

所有人都死了，包括在戰爭中對立的一對兄弟，厄特克勒斯和波呂尼瑟斯。

The brothers ended up killing each other with their bare hands.

這對兄弟最後徒手殺死了彼此。

克里昂現在進場並重複他的法令。

They will bury Eteocles with full military honors.

他們將以完整的軍葬禮埋葬厄特克勒斯。

Meanwhile, they will leave Polyneices' body out to rot.

同時，他們讓波呂尼瑟斯的屍體曝屍荒野。

No one is to bury or grieve for the traitor Polyneices.

Then, Creon asks the Chorus to follow his orders.

He states that someone has performed a burial of Polyneices' body.

Unfortunately for the guard, he didn't see who did it.

可惜的是，他並沒有看到是誰做的。

This upsets Creon and he tells the guard that he had better find out who did, or he will be killed in their place.

Creon even accuses the guard of taking a bribe and allowing someone to bury Polyneices.

The guard leaves to find the perpetrator.

Almost immediately, the guard comes walking back into the throne room to speak with King Creon.

守衛幾乎馬上就回來，他走進房間告訴克里昂國王。

This time, the guard is hauling Antigone, Creon's niece.

這一次，守衛拉著安提戈涅進來，她是克里昂的姪女。

克里昂表示，即使用暴力，也要讓頑固的安提戈涅強制遵守法律。

Her logic is that Polyneices deserved a burial as much as Eteocles.

She says that Polyneices actions in life should have no bearing on how his remains are treated.
