But then she is no ordinary poet, for she has been serving the three muses of poetry, Calliope, Euterpe and Erato, for 16 years. 而她并不仅仅是一位普通的诗人,她创作诗歌已有十六年之久。(注:文中缪斯女神卡利俄佩,欧忒尔佩和厄剌托出自希腊神话,分别掌管史诗,音乐和爱情诗)
When it reached mine, I heard cacophonous music like a calliope and felt as if Roman candles had been lighted inside my skull. 当它进入我体内,我听到像汽笛风琴一样嘈杂的声音,觉得爆竹在我颅内引燃。
When the kid found out we were going to leave him at home he started up a howl like a calliope and fastened himself as tight as a leech to Bill's leg. 当那孩子发觉我们要将他留在家里的时候,他像一架风琴一样嚎啕大哭起来,像一条水蛭一样紧紧粘在比尔的腿上。
At that moment, Kratos knew his destiny was not with Calliope. 那一刻,奎托斯明白自己的命运中已无卡利俄珀的存在。
And poesy made Calliope's own child; 让诗歌成为克莱俄帕自己的孩子;
If Calliope is your true desire, I can help you. 如你所愿。如果卡利俄珀是你所真正渴求的话,我可以帮你。
