The Sabbath was to him a day of sacred rest, on which he would never sail from a port unless in case of extreme necessity.

对他来说，安息日就是神圣的休息日，除非非常必要，否则在这一天他绝不会驾船远航。

The Carthaginians, reduced to extreme necessity, were compelled to come to terms with Agathocles, and, leaving Sicily to him, had to be content with the possession of Africa.

这样一来，他在短期内就解除了锡拉库萨之围，并且使迦太基人陷入极端窘境，被迫同阿加托克雷讲和，迦太基人占有非洲就满足了，而把西西里让给阿加托克雷。

The reader may remember, that when I signed those articles upon which I recovered my liberty, there were some which I disliked, upon account of their being too servile; neither could anything but an extreme necessity have forced me to submit.

读者可能还记得，当我签署那些我恢复自由的条款时，有些我不喜欢，因为它们太奴性了；除了极端的需要，没有什么能迫使我屈服。
