He was the Trojan elder who disapproved of
[解说] 1. “He was the Trojan elder who disapproved of Paris' abduction of Helen”：他是不赞同 Paris 拐走 Helen 的那位特洛伊长老。 “elder”：长老。 “disapprove of”：不赞同。 “abduct, abduction”：诱拐、绑架。
2. “and urged that she be sent back to the Greeks”：而催促说她应被送回给希腊人。 “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.” (我们鞭策政府立刻改革)。
3. “When Troy was sacked, he was spared for that reason”：当 Troy 被掠夺时，他因为那理由而被饶了。 “sack”：掠夺。 “spare”：赦免、宽恕、饶。
4. “But he was consequently regarded as a traitor to the Trojans”：但他因此而被视为特洛伊人的叛徒。 “consequently”：因此。 “be regarded as”：被视为 ...。 “traitor”：叛徒。
5. “Some accused him of having helped the Greeks steal the Palladium”：有些人控告他帮了希腊人偷走 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头。传说：保存那雕像，Troy 就不会被攻陷。 “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”：别人甚至于控告他开了那木马的门。 Others = Other people。开启木马之门，等于引敌来攻打 Troy 城。
8. 这段说出古今中外的定律：好人难为。爱真理为良心，往往会得罪自己人而反遭自己人迫害。
