It should be made clear that this phenomenon is not singular but epidemic:a whole crowd becomes rapt in this manner.
在这场合，个人确实已经舍弃了自我而进入异己的性质中。况且，这种现象显然是带有传染性的；一整群人都感到这样的变化。
It is for this reason that the dithyramb differs essentially from any other kind of chorus.
所以，酒神颂曲本质上与各种合唱曲不同。
The virgins who, carrying laurel branches and singing a processional chant, move solemnly toward the temple of Apollo, retain their identities and their civic names.
手持桂枝，庄严地走向阿波罗大庙，一边唱着进行曲的处女们，始终不变她们的常态，而且保持她们的市民姓名。
The dithyrambic chorus on the other hand is a chorus of the transformed, who have forgotten their civic past and social rank, who have become timeless servants of their god and live outside all social spheres.
但是酒神颂歌队却是变态人物的歌队，他们的市民身世和社会地位都被忘得干干净净，他们已经变成了超时间的，生存在一切社会之外的神的仆役。
While all the other types of Greek choric verse are simply the highest intensification of the Apollinian musician, in the dithyramb we see a community of unconscious actors all of whom see one another as enchanted.
其余一切希腊抒情合唱曲不过是阿波罗祭独唱者的极度强化而已，但是在酒神祭曲中却是一群不自觉的演员，他们彼此之间都见到自己发生变化。
