| [00:01.609] | Not once but twice, Julius Caesar's plans were sabotaged |
| [00:07.022] | by that perennial secret weapon of the British, the weather. |
| [00:10.775] | On the first go-round in 55 BC, a cavalry transport which had already missed the high tide and got itself four days late, |
| [00:19.148] | Finally got going only to run directly into a storm and be blown right back to Gaul. |
| [00:29.137] | A century later, Claudius, the club-foot stammerer, |
| [00:32.756] | On the face of it, the most unlikely conqueror of all, was determined to get it right. |
| [00:39.277] | If it was going to be done at all Claudius reckoned, it had to be done in such massive force that |
| [00:44.585] | there was no chance of repeating the embarrassments of Julius. |
| [00:49.026] | So Claudius's invasion force was immense, some 40,000 troops. |
| [00:54.668] | The kind of army which could barely be conceived of, much less，encountered in Iron Age Britain. |
| [01:02.536] | Claudius did succeed where Julius Caesar had failed, through a brilliant strategy of carrot and stick. |
| [01:13.953] | Yes, he would seize the largely undefended oppida or towns and strike at the heart of the British aristocracy |
| [01:20.997] | its places of status, prestige and worship. |
| [01:26.232] | But for those chieftains, sensible enough to reach for the olive branch rather than the battle javelin |
| [01:32.210] | Claudius had another plan. |
| [01:34.415] | Give them, or rather their sons |
| [01:36.149] | a trip to Rome, and a taste of the dolce vita, and just watch their resistance melt. |
| [01:46.296] | While they were in Rome, many of them must have begun to notice that life for your average patrician was well, exceptionally sweet. |

| [00:01.609] | 不止一次而是两次，凯撒大帝的入侵 |
| [00:07.022] | 被不列颠天然的秘密武器所阻：天气. |
| [00:10.775] | 公元前55年的首次入侵中，一骑兵团在错过满潮的四天后强行登陆 |
| [00:19.148] | 最终卷入狂风巨浪之中，被迫返回高卢。 |
| [00:29.137] | 百年之后，一个名为克劳蒂亚斯的口吃的跛子。 |
| [00:32.756] | 乍看之下，最没有可能的征服者立志开始其征服之旅。 |
| [00:39.277] | 克劳蒂亚斯暗自忖度，此次征服之旅定要出动大规模罗马兵团 |
| [00:44.585] | 并绝不能重蹈凯撒的覆辙。 |
| [00:49.026] | 所以，克劳蒂亚斯集结起四万入侵大军。 |
| [00:54.668] | 数量之庞大超乎想象，是铁器时代的不列颠无法比拟的。 |
| [01:02.536] | 克劳蒂亚斯绝妙地运用胡萝卜加大棒策略，完成了凯撒大帝未完成的梦想。 |
| [01:13.953] | 他大可用兵荡，平不列颠不设防的城镇，痛击不列颠贵族的腹地 |
| [01:20.997] | 这片象征地位与威望，万人膜拜之地。 |
| [01:26.232] | 然而，对于这些部落酋长，强攻远不如智取 |
| [01:32.210] | 克劳蒂亚斯早已心生它计。 |
| [01:34.415] | 让他们或更准确地说是他们的子嗣 |
| [01:36.149] | 尽享一次罗马纵欲之旅，必将让其乐不思蜀。 |
| [01:46.296] | 果然在罗马，他们中很多人都开始艳羡罗马贵族所享受的奢华生活。 |
