He was the seer who foretold the necessity of sacrificing Iphigenia before the Greeks went for the Trojan War.   An oracle, however, had foretold that he would die when he met a greater seer than himself.   And this he did when he met Mopsus, who could tell the number of figs on a tree while he could not. 

[解說]

1.      “He was the seer who foretold the necessity of sacrificing Iphigenia before the Greeks went for the Trojan War”：他是那位先知，他預告：希臘人去打特洛伊戰爭前必須先犧牲 Iphigenia。 “foretold”：預告。 “seer”：先知。 希臘聯軍統帥Agamemnon 得罪了女神 Artemis，犧牲其女 Iphigenia 之後，船隊才得順風出發。

2.      “An oracle, however, had foretold that he would die when he met a greater seer than himself”：可是，有個神諭預告說：當他遇到比他自己更偉大的先知時，他就會死去。 “oracle”：神諭。

3.      “And this he did when he met Mopsus”：而這件事他做了，當他遇到 Mopsus時。 “And this he did” =  And he did this，「做此事」即「遇到更偉大的人而死去」。

4.      “who could tell the number of figs on a tree while he could not”：他 (Mopsus) 能說出某樹上無花果的數目而他卻不能。
