＇ 中英文对照＇ 古希腊神话故事：奥林波斯山神
The Olympin Gods between macedon and thessaly of eastern greece there
stood a high mountain。its cloudy top rushed into the very heavens。on the
top of the mountain ， the home of the gods was bathed in brightness。
at olympus zeus ruled as the father of gods and men。 zeus was not a crude
ruler by any standards。all the gods listened to his final words ，it was
true。but zeus made them all sit on a mittee of twelve members，including
six gods and six goddesses。 the first in the olympian crowd sat zeus himself。
he was the overlord of gods and men and the operator of the thunderbolt
。next to him was hera ，his proud and greeneyed queen。poseidon was ruler
of the sea，and hades ，king of the lower world ，had no seat in the mittee。apollo
was the god of the sun，music and poetry，while his twinsister artemis
was the goddess of the moon and the chase。 athena was the goddess of wisdom
and patroness of house holdarts。hestin，the goddess of the family ，represented
home life and family happiness。the frightening ares was the god of war，
and the charming aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty。the god of fire，
hephaestus，was the forger of the thunderbolts of zeus。the wing footed
messenger hermes was the god of invention and merce；and the goddess
of grains and harvests，demeter ，looked after agriculture and stood for
mother ofcivilization。 all the chief gods mentioned above took human forms
of inparable beauty and grace。 often moved by human feelings and desires，
they frequently gave way to anger and jealousy。they became involved in
ceaseless battles with the world of man。 among themselves at olympus they
plotted and struggled for power。in the human world they experienced petitions
and difficulties。they enjoyed earthly friendships and loves。acrowd of
everlasting gods looked and acted in a perfectly human fashion that is
what all gods at olympus actually were。 奥林波斯山神在马其顿和希腊东部
的色萨利之间矗立着一座高山。大雾弥漫的山顶直插云霄。山顶上，众神们的家
园沐浴在阳光之中。宙斯作为山神和人类之父主宰着那里的一切。总的说来，宙
斯并不是一个独裁统治者。但毫无疑问，凡事山神们都要听从他的命令。宙斯将
男女山神12人组成一个委员会，宙斯本人则坐第一把交椅，是众神与人类的太上
皇，也是雷电的操纵者。他旁边是他那傲慢且嫉妒的皇后赫拉。波塞冬是大海的
统治者。哈得斯是主宰阴间的冥王，他在委员会中没有席位。阿波罗是太阳神、
音乐和诗神。他的孪生姐妹阿耳特弥斯是月亮和狩猎女神。雅典娜是智慧女神和
家居艺术品的守护女神。赫提斯是家室之神，象征着家庭中的生命与幸福。气势
汹汹的阿瑞斯是战神。媚人的阿芙罗狄蒂是爱与美神。火神赫菲斯托斯是宙斯雷
电的创造者。以翅代步的信使海尔墨斯掌管商业与发明事务。谷物与丰收女神得
墨特尔负责管理农业，她是文明之母。以上所提到的主要天神们都假装成凡人的
样子，他们的美丽与魅力无可匹敌。因常受到凡人情感与愿望的感染，他们不时
地勃然大怒，妒嫉别人。他们卷入与人类世界无休止的争斗中。在奥林波斯，他
们之间也充满了阴谋与权力之争。在凡人的世界里，他们经历了敌对与挫折。他
们珍惜人间的爱与友善。这群长生不老的天神们的外表与行为完全符合人间的方
式。这就是奥林波斯山神们的本来面目。

Pandora after the stealing of fire，zeus became increasingly unkind
to men。one day he ordered his son hephaestus tobuild an image of a beautiful
maiden out of clay。he then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with
different kinds of gifts。among others ，athena clothed her in an attractive
coat and hermes gave her the power of telling lies。a charming young lady，
she was the first woman that ever lived。zeus called her pandora。because
she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift。the gift was
harmful to men。 zeus decided to send her down to men as a present。so hermes
them essenger brought her to epimetheus ，brother of prometheus。the greatness
of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her ，and epimetheus
happily received her into his house。he had quite forgotten pometheus'
warning ：never to accept anything from zeus。the couple lived a happy
life for some time。then trouble came on to the human world。 when he was
busy with teaching men the art of living，prometheus had left a bigcask
in the care of epimetheus。he had warned his brother not to open the lid。pandora
was a curious woman。she had been feeling very disappointed that her husband
did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask。one day，
when epimetheus was out ，she lifted the lid and out itcame unrest and
war ，plague and sickness ，theft and violence， grief sorrow ，and all
the other evils。the human world was hence to experience these evils。only
hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out。so men always
have hope within their hearts。潘多拉偷窃天火之后，宙斯对人类的敌意与日
俱增。一天，他令儿子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像，并请众神赠予她不同的礼物。
其中，雅典娜饰之以华丽的衣裳，赫耳墨斯赠之以说谎的能力。世上的第一
个女人是位迷人女郎，因为她从每位神灵那里得到了一样对男人有害的礼物，因
此宙斯称她为潘多拉（pander：意为煽动）。宙斯决定把她作为礼物送给世间的
男子。
于是信使赫耳墨斯将她带给普罗米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容绝美，见
者无不为之倾心。厄庇墨透斯兴高采烈地把她迎入屋内。普罗米修斯警告过他不
得接受宙斯的任何馈赠，而他已将之忘于脑后。这一对夫妻有过一段幸福的生活，
但不久灾难却降临人间。当普罗米修斯忙于教授人们生存之道的时候，他把一个
桶托付给厄庇墨透斯。他警告过他的弟弟不要打开桶盖。潘多拉好奇心强。她的
丈夫不允许她看桶中之物，这使她感到十分懊恼。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出门在外，
她打开桶盖，从桶里跑出的是不和与战争，瘟疫与疾病，偷窃与暴力，悲哀与忧
虑，以及其他一些人类从此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被关在桶口，永远飞不出来，
因此人们常常把希望藏于心中。
＇ 中英文对照＇ 古希腊神话故事：阿波罗
Apollo among the crowd of olympian gods the one most widely admired
was apollo。he was the son of zeus and let to。according to greek mythology，
leto was driven by hera from land to land at last poseidon took pity on
her and brought the island of delos out of water for her to live on。there
she gave birth to the twins ，apollo and artemis。 apollo was me sun…god。he
wore a purple robe。he usually sat in his bright eastern palace early in
the morning and madeready to start his daily journey across the sky。during
the day hed rove his carriage of gold and ivory ， and brought light，
life and love to the great world below。 iate in the afternoon he came
to the end of his journey in the far western sea and got on his golden
boat to return to his eastern home。 apollo was the god of music and poetry。he
could stir up all feelings。these feelings are expressed in lofty songs。with
his lyre of gold and the sweet accents of his godlike voice heled the
choir of the muses at olympus。the pleasant music from his lyre was so
exciting that stones marched into their places in rhythmic time and of
their own will when he helped poseidonbuild up the walls of troy。on one
occasion，invited to a contest by the human musician marsyas，he won and
then flayed him to death for his pride。on another occasion，he lost out
topan at a musical contest and turned the ears of the judge ，king midas，
into those of an ass。 his son ，orpheus ，took over such skill from the
father that his lyre moved man and animals alike。 apollo stood for youthful
and manly beauty。his goldenhair ，stately manner and air all bined
to make him the admiration of the world。a beautiful girl，by the name
of clytle ，was so fond of his beauty and glory that from dawn to dusk
she knelt on the ground ，her hands outstretched towards the sungod ，
and her eyes looked at his golden wheeled carriage racing across the blue
sky。though her love was not returned，she had never changed her mind about
apollo。the gods were moved at the sad sight ，and changed her into a sunflower。
阿波罗在众多的奥林波斯山神中，主神宙斯和雷托之子阿波罗最受推崇。据希腊
神话记载，雷托被天后赫拉驱赶得四处流浪。最终是海神波塞冬怜悯她并从海中
捞起提落岛让她居住。在岛上，她生了孪生儿子阿波罗和阿尔特弥斯。阿波罗是
太阳神。清晨他身着紫色袍，坐在那明亮的东方宫殿，准备开始每日穿越天空的
旅行。白天，他驾着用金子和象牙制成的战车，给广阔无垠的大地带来光明、生
命和仁爱。黄昏时分，他在遥远的西海结束了旅行，然后就乘上金船返回东方的
家中。阿波罗是音乐神和诗神。他可唤起人们倾注于圣歌中的各种情感。在奥林
波斯山上，他手拿金质里拉，用悦耳的音调指挥缪斯的合唱。当他帮助波塞冬建
造特洛伊城墙时，里拉奏出的音乐如此动听，以致石头有节奏地、自动地各就其
位。有一次他接受凡人音乐家马斯亚斯的挑战参加一次竞赛。战胜对方后，他将
对手剥皮致死以惩罚他的狂妄自大。在另外一次音乐比赛中，因输给了潘神，他
就将裁判迈尔斯国王的耳朵变成了驴耳朵。阿波罗的儿子俄耳甫斯继承了父亲这
方面的才能。他的竖琴使人与动物皆受感动。阿波罗象征着青春和男子汉的美。
金色的头发、庄重的举止、容光焕发的神态，这些足以使他受到世人的青睐。
一位名叫克里提的美丽少女迷恋于他的英俊潇洒，跪在地上，从黎明到黄昏，双
手伸向太阳神。她凝视着那辆金质马车在蔚蓝的天空驰骋。虽然她的爱并未得到
回报，但她对阿波罗的痴情却从未改变。目睹这悲哀的场面，众神深受感动，将
她变成了一株向日葵。
