向前驶去。

merrily in the woods one day she saw apollo the sun…god staring at her
with more than amazement and ad miration in his eyes。the beaming face
of the sun put her to flight。the eager apollo followed her closely behind,
calling out to her to stop。his passion had been lighted by her beauty
and grace。he was afraid that this might be the last time he saw her。the
quick footed maiden made the best of her legs ,but the passionate apollo
pressed hard upon her 。through rough fields and pathless woods she ran,
but the sound of his pursuing feet ever grew nearer。as he ran he begged
his beloved maiden to slow down ,for he feared that she might fall and
hurt her sparkling skin on the rocky roads。but the escaping maiden never
cared so much about that。she even threw one glance back wards 。at last
she was quite breathless and cried to her father,a rivergod,for help。no
sooner had her prayer been uttered than answered,for she had instantly
found herself glued to the ground and a layer of soft bark growing over
her fair skin 。she had been turned into a laurel tree。sighing ,apollo
put his arms around the tree trunk。the trunk responded by turning thinner。to
show his undying love for the maiden,he decided that the laurel would
be his favorite tree and should be the prize of honour and fame for deathless
poets and poetry 。thus the most outstanding poet always desires to be
made a poet laureate 。丹芙妮丹芙妮是位妩媚动人的仙女。有一天当她兴高采

的仙女拚命地奔跑,但情绪激昂的阿波罗紧追不放。她越过旷野,穿过人迹罕至
的树林,但追赶的脚步声愈加逼近。他一边追赶,一边恳求心爱的仙女放慢脚步。
他害怕仙女在石道上跌倒会擦破她那闪耀的皮肤。但奔逃的仙女根本不顾及这些。

    她甚至没朝身后瞥了一眼,最终她气喘吁吁地向她的父亲(河神)求救。她
的恳求马上得到了回答。她很快发现自己如胶似漆地紧附地面。接着,妖嫩的皮
肤上长出一层松软的树皮,她变成了一棵月桂树。太阳神唉声叹气地拥抱着树干,
树干缩细了。为了表示他对仙女未泯的爱情,他将月桂树作为他最喜爱的树种,
并决定将它作为一种对荣誉与威望的奖励,把它授予那些永恒的诗人和流芳百世
的诗。因此最杰出的诗人总希望获得桂冠诗人的尊号。

    ' 中英文对照' 古希腊神话故事:那西塞斯

    Narcissus narcissus had a twin sister whom he loved better than anyone
else in the world。this sister died when she was young and very beautiful。narcissus
missed her so very much that he wished he might die too。 one day,as he
sat on the ground by a spring ,looking absently into the water and thinking
of his lost sister,he saw a face like hers ,looking up at him。it seemed
as if his sister had bee a water nymph and were actually there in the
spring,but she would not speak to him。 of course the face narcissus saw
was really the reflection of his own face in the water,but he did not
know that。in those days there were no clear mirrors like ours ;and the
idea of one''s appearance that could be got from a polished brass shield,
for instance,was a very dim one。so narcissus leaned over the water and
looked at the beautiful face so like his sister''s,and wondered what
it was and whether he should ever see his sister again。 after this,he
came back to the spring day after day and looked at the face he saw there,
and mourned for his sister until,at last ,the gods felt sorry for him
and changed him into a flower。 this flower was the first narcissus 。all
the flowers of thisfamily ,when they grow by the side of a pond or a
stream,still bend their beautiful heads and look at the reflection of
their owfaces in the water。 那西塞斯那西塞斯有个他至爱的孪生妹妹。这个
非常美丽的妹妹死去的时候年纪还很小。那西塞斯非常思念她,甚至想跟她一起
死去。一天,他坐在溪旁毫无心思看着流水想念他失去的妹妹时,他看到一张像
她的面孔正在注视着他。那种情形就像她妹妹成了河神而且就在河里,可是她没
有说话。那张那西塞斯看到的面孔实际上就是他自己的面孔在水里的倒影,可是
他不知道。那时还没有像我们现在明亮的镜子,一个人可以在比如说一面发光铜
制盾状的东西上看到自己容貌的这种观念尚不很明确。那西塞斯就靠在水旁看着
那像他妹妹美丽的面孔,猜疑到底她是谁?也不知道他是否能再见到他妹妹。以
后他天天都到溪旁注视他看到的面孔,一面又哀悼他妹妹,最后众神为他感到很
难过就把他变成了一朵花。这朵花就是第一朵水仙花,所有这类花生长在池塘或
溪旁时,仍然低下它们美丽的头看着水里自己的影子。
