在困难的时候，她祈祷神谕来指引她。
In times of difficulty, she pray for an oracle to guide her
大地是万物之母，石头就是她的尸骨。我们可以往身后扔石头，我想神谕说的就是这个意思。
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.
神谕指出说：“裹起头，松开衣带，出庙去，一路走一路将你们母亲的尸骨丢在身后。”这话使他们惊愕不已。
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.
卡德摩斯刚一走出给予他神谕的卡斯塔利亚山洞就看到前面有条小母牛在不紧不慢地走着。
Cadmus had hardly left the Castalian cave, from which the oracle was delivered, when he saw a young cow slowly walking before him.
