Suetonius was an overflowing fountain of political and sexual gossip, revealing the tiniest details.

苏托尼乌斯是政治和性八卦的源泉，揭露最微小的细节。

Consequently Suetonius and others  presented positive assessments of his reign, but it was all too brief.

因此， 苏托尼乌斯和其他人对他的统治提出了积极的评价，但时间太短暂了。

We do however have a short account of his death from Suetonius.

然而，我们确实有一个关于他死于苏埃托尼乌斯的简短描述。

Suetonius states that in around 57 AD Titus  served as a military tribune in Germany and Britain.

苏托尼乌斯指出，公元 57 年左右，提图斯在德国和英国担任军事保民官。

Suetonius is a particularly useful source  for his reflections on the personality and character of the emperors whose lives  he studied.

苏托尼乌斯是他对他所研究的皇帝的个性和性格进行反思的一个特别有用的资料来源。

The Roman Empire’s historian Suetonius wrote “He let slip no opportunity for acts of generosity and mercy, or even displaying his affability”.

罗马帝国的历史学家苏埃托尼乌斯 (Suetonius) 写道：“他没有放过任何机会表现出慷慨和仁慈，甚至表现出他的和蔼可亲” 。

These biases aside, Tacitus and Suetonius, along with Josephus, are still the most important  sources we have for Vespasian's time as emperor.

撇开这些偏见不谈，塔西佗、苏托尼乌斯以及约瑟夫斯仍然是我们了解韦斯帕芗皇帝时代的最重要的资料来源。

Suetonius's Lives presents biographies of all the  Caesars from Julius Caesar and Octavian down to the end of the Flavian Dynasty as well.

苏托尼乌斯的传记介绍了从朱利叶斯·凯撒和屋大维到弗拉维王朝末期所有凯撒的传记。

Professor Beard's first source is a familiar and obvious one: Roman writers, and especially Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, who worked in the secretariats of both Hadrian and Trajan.

比尔德教授的第一个来源是一个熟悉且显而易见的来源：罗马作家，尤其是盖乌斯·苏托尼乌斯·特兰奎卢斯，他曾在哈德良和图拉真的秘书处工作过。

With my eyes still shut, I reach for a book, not knowing whether I am picking up Prescott's Conquest of Mexico or Suetonius' Lives of the Twelve Caesars.

我仍然闭着眼睛， 伸手去拿一本书， 不知道我是在读普雷斯科特的《征服墨西哥》还是苏维托尼乌斯的《十二凯撒传》。

This remark will be found to hold true, from the days of Lysias and Isocrates, of Plato and Aristotle, down to those of Plutarch and Epictetus, Suetonius, and Quintilian.

从吕西亚斯和伊索克拉底、柏拉图和亚里士多德的时代，一直到普鲁塔克和爱比克泰德、苏埃托尼乌斯和昆体良的时代，都会发现这句话是正确的。

But whether Vespasian's qualities as an emperor and the contrasting  chaos of Nero's reign were inventions of Tacitus and Suetonius in their histories  and biographies may never be fully known.

但韦斯帕芗作为皇帝的品质和尼禄统治时期的混乱是否是塔西佗和苏托尼乌斯在他们的历史和传记中的发明，可能永远不会被完全知晓。

This latter trait may have been why he was so favourably depicted by Tacitus, Suetonius  and others, who were members of or had connections to the senatorial and political classes in  Rome.

后一个特征可能就是为什么塔西佗、苏托尼乌斯和其他罗马元老院和政治阶层的成员或与他们有联系的人如此青睐他的原因。

What little  we know of Titus's early life is provided by the Roman historian Suetonius, who tells of Titus  being raised at the imperial court and becoming very close with Claudius's son Brittanicus.

我们对提图斯的早年生活知之甚少， 这是由罗马历史学家苏托尼乌斯提供的，他讲述了提图斯在宫廷中长大并与克劳狄斯的儿子布里塔尼库斯关系密切的故事。

Was  he one of Rome's greatest emperors, who successfully restored order after the chaos of  the civil war or was he a power–hungry demagogue who was later presented in the best light  possible by Tacitus and Suetonius?

他是罗马最伟大的皇帝之一，在内战的混乱之后成功恢复了秩序， 还是一个渴望权力的煽动家， 后来被塔西佗和苏托尼乌斯描述得最好？

Nero appears to have  been the first introduce a tax on urine which those who used it for these purposes had  to pay, but according to both Suetonius and Cassius Dio it was more systematically imposed by  Vespasian.

尼禄似乎是第一个对尿液征税的人， 那些将尿液用于这些目的的人必须缴纳税款，但根据苏托尼乌斯和卡西乌斯·迪奥的说法， 维斯帕芗更系统地征收了尿税。
