He was the Trojan elder who disapproved of
[解說]
1. “He was the Trojan elder who disapproved of Paris' abduction of Helen”：他是不贊同 Paris 拐走 Helen 的那位特洛伊長老。 “elder”：長老。 “disapprove of”：不贊同。 “abduct, abduction”：誘拐、綁架。
2. “and urged that she be sent back to the Greeks”：而催促說她應被送回給希臘人。 “urge”：催促、鞭策。
注意：urge that (should) V 的句型。 他例： “We urge that the government (should) reform at once.” (我們鞭策政府立刻改革)。
3. “When Troy was sacked, he was spared for that reason”：當 Troy 被掠奪時，他因為那理由而被饒了。 “sack”：掠奪。 “spare”：赦免、寬恕、饒。
4. “But he was consequently regarded as a traitor to the Trojans”：但他因此而被視為特洛伊人的叛徒。 “consequently”：因此。 “be regarded as”：被視為 ...。 “traitor”：叛徒。
5. “Some accused him of having helped the Greeks steal the Palladium”：有些人控告他幫了希臘人偷走 Pallas Athena 的神像。 “Some”= Some people。 “accuse 某人 of”：控告某人 ...。 “Palladium”是智慧女神 Pallas Athena 的神像。
6. “the statue of Athena on whose preservation the safety of Troy depended”：(那是) Athena 的雕像，而 Troy 的安全依靠在保存那雕像上頭。傳說：保存那雕像，Troy 就不會被攻陷。 “preserve, preservation”：保存。 “on whose preservation” = “on the preservation of which”。 “on B A depended” = “A depended on B”。
7. “Others even accused him of having opened the door of the Wooden Horse”：別人甚至於控告他開了那木馬的門。 Others = Other people。開啟木馬之門，等於引敵來攻打 Troy 城。
8. 這段說出古今中外的定律：好人難為。愛真理為良心，往往會得罪自己人而反遭自己人迫害。
