在困難的時(shí)候，她祈禱神諭來(lái)指引她。
In times of difficulty, she pray for an oracle to guide her
大地是萬(wàn)物之母，石頭就是她的尸骨。我們可以往身后扔石頭，我想神諭說(shuō)的就是這個(gè)意思。
The earth is the great parent of all, the stones are her bones; these we may cast behind us; this, I think, the oracle means.
神諭指出說(shuō)：“裹起頭，松開(kāi)衣帶，出廟去，一路走一路將你們母親的尸骨丟在身后?！边@話(huà)使他們驚愕不已。
The oracle answered, "Depart from the temple with head veiled and garments unbound, and cast behind you the bones of your mother." They heard the words with astonishment.
卡德摩斯剛一走出給予他神諭的卡斯塔利亞山洞就看到前面有條小母牛在不緊不慢地走著(zhù)。
Cadmus had hardly left the Castalian cave, from which the oracle was delivered, when he saw a young cow slowly walking before him.
