Today , it is the straits of hormuz , through which much of the world 's oil is carried , that has acquired the same strategic importance as the hellespont had for the athenians .

今天，就像海勒斯波特海峡之于雅典人，作为世界多数石油运输的必经之地霍尔木兹海峡海峡拥有同等战略地位。

Only later did I read marlowe 's poem hero and leander that begins : " on hellespont , guilty of true love 's blood ...... "

直到后来，我才读了马洛的诗《海洛和利安德》，是这么开头的：“在赫勒斯滂，真爱之血有罪……”

In crossing the strait that divides europe from asia , helle became giddy and lost her hold , falling off the ram into the sea when she disobeyed a warning not to look down , the place thereafter became the hellespont which today separates greece and turkey .

在跨越亚洲与欧洲之间的海峡时，海勒不顾赫尔的警告执意往下看，却因为头晕跌落下海羊，这个地方即现在的赫勒斯，分离希腊与土耳其的海峡。
