　　關於英語故事：Echo and Narcissus

　　回聲和那喀索斯

　　Narcissus was a handsome youth. His lovely face and graceful form were the admiration of all who looked upon him. And he knew it. He was proud that he thought no one but himself was worthy to see his youthful beauty. Thus given up to sweet thoughts of self, Narcissus avoided all company. He roamed the wooded little valleys every day,madly in love with himself.

　　那喀索斯是位英俊的青年，面容可愛，體形優美，每個見到他的人都羨慕不已。他驕傲地認為，除了自己之外，沒有人配欣賞他那充滿青春氣息的美貌。因而，他沉溺於甜美的自我欣賞之中，遠離所有人。每天他在蒼翠蓊鬱的小山谷中閒逛，瘋狂地愛著自己。

　　When he was delightfully wandering through the woods one day, a wood fairy maiden, Echo by name, caught sight of him. She was excited at once. Joyfully coming down towards Narcissus, she stretched out her loving arms. To her dismay, however, the young man roughly brushed her aside and went by without so much as a glance at her. The poor fairy maiden's face turned red and quickly withdrew to a shady spot, following the object of her love with her longing eyes.

　　一天，那喀索斯在樹林中愉快地遊蕩。一位名叫回聲的林中仙女看見了他，她立刻興奮不已。她高興地走向那喀索斯，伸出愛的雙臂。然而，令她吃驚的是，這位青年粗暴地將她推開，連看都不看她一眼就走開了。可憐的仙女羞紅了臉，迅速退到遮陰處，含情脈脈地凝望著心上人。

　　Presently Narcissus stopped to drink from a little stream. Kneeling down on the bank,he saw a lovely face in the clear water. His heart gave a beat. lie smiled and was smiled back to. Thinking that it must be a maiden in love with him, he bent down to kiss her. But as soon as he touched the clear surface the lovely face disappeared. The angry youth was

　　now desperate. Never had he been looked down upon like that before. Day and night,he stayed at the stream without drinking and eating. Before long he died, never suspecting that his maiden was just his own image in the stream. The gods took pity on the fair dead body and turned it into a flower bearing his name. This flower was the first narcissus. All the flowers of this family, when they grow by the side of a pond or a stream, still bend their beautiful heads and look at the reflection of their ovm faces in the water.

　　不久，那喀索斯在一條小溪邊停下飲水。當他跪在岸邊時，他發現清澈的溪水中有一張可愛的面龐。他的心撲通跳著，他對著水中的人微笑，水中人也給了他一個微笑。他認為，一定是一位仙女愛上了他。於是，他俯下身子去吻她。但是，當他的嘴脣一接觸清澈的溪水，水中可愛的面容就消失了。這位惱怒的青年人此時變得絕望了，他從未受過如此的鄙視。他日夜待在溪邊，不吃不喝，不久就死了，但他從未懷疑過水中的女子只是自已的影子罷了。眾神非常憐憫他那優美的軀體，將之變成了一朵花，和青年同名，這朵花就是第一朵水仙花，當它們生長在池塘或溪流旁時，仍然低下它們美麗的頭看著水裡自已的影子。

　　The intoxicated Echo saw all this. Slowly she became weak, until at last nothing remained of her except her voice.

　　那位陶醉於愛河的回聲親眼日睹了這一切她日斬憔悴，最後，除了聲音之外，她化為了烏有。

　　關於英語故事：Noah's Ark

　　諾亞方舟

　　Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and full of violence. So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy

　　all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But with you I will make a covenant. Make yourself an ark of cypress wood, make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. You shall go into the ark,you and your sons, your wife and your sons' wives with you. And you shall bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female. to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. You are to take and store every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.'

　　諾亞是一個正直的人，在當時所有人中無可挑剔。上帝看見整個世界腐朽了，到處充斥著暴力。於是上帝對諾亞說：“我要毀滅所有的人類，世上因為他們而充滿著暴力。我一定要毀掉他們以及這個世界。我要讓洪水在全世界氾濫，消滅天下所有活著的生命，以及地上有氣息的萬物。世上的一切都將消亡。但我要與你立約，你要用柏木為自己造一艘方舟，分一間一間地造，再把船的裡裡外外塗上松脂。你到時帶著你的兒子們、妻子和兒媳一起進入方舟。你還要帶上各種生物上船，每種兩隻，一雌一雄，在船上把它們餵養好。每種飛禽兩隻、每種走獸兩隻、每種爬蟲兩隻。你還要帶上各種吃的東西，儲存在船上，作為你們和動物的食糧。”

　　Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

　　諾亞遵照上帝的話，一一照辦了。

　　Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. Noah went into the ark with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives. And into the ark with Noah went one pair, male and female, of all beasts, clean and unclean, of birds and of everything that crawls on the ground, two by two, as God had commanded.Towards the end of seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

　　當洪水襲擊地面時，諾亞已經六百歲了。諾亞和他的兒子們、妻子和兒媳們都上了方舟。和他一起登上方舟的還有每種一對的動物，所有的走獸，潔淨的和不潔淨的，都是一雌一雄;所有的鳥類和地上的爬蟲，也是一對一對的。按照上帝的吩咐它們都上了船。第七天結束的時候，洪水降臨到大地。

　　On the seventeenth day of the second month, all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. find rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. The flood kept coming on the earth for forty days, and as the waters increased they lifted up the ark high above the ground.The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. Every living thing that moved on the earth perished-birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.

　　第二個月的十七日那天，大深淵的所有泉源一齊噴發，天穹擴開， 大雨傾盆，不停地下了四十個晝夜。洪水氾濫了四十天，大水漲起來，把方舟托起;高高地升離地面。地面的水越漲越高，方舟在水面上漂流。水漲得淹沒了天下所有的高山，一直漲到浸沒高山二十英尺之深。陸地上一切有氣息的生物都消亡了——鳥類、家禽、野獸、地面上的所有爬蟲、所有人類。地面上每一個有生氣的事物都被清除乾淨，唯獨諾亞和在方舟上的妻兒、鳥獸爬蟲活了下來。

　　The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

　　洪水氾濫達一百五十天之久。

　　關於英語故事：Damon and Pythias

　　達蒙和皮西厄斯

　　A young man whose name was Pythias had done something which the tyrant Dionysius did not like. For this offence he was dragged to prison, and a day was set when he should be put to death. His home was far away, and he wanted very much to see his father and mother and friends before he died.

　　一個生輕人名叫皮西厄斯，做了一件暴君迪奧尼修斯不喜歡的事情。因為對暴君的冒犯，皮西厄斯被投進了監獄，還確定了被處死的日期。因為離家很遠，他非常想在臨死之前去看看父母和朋友們。

　　"Only give me leave to go home and say good-by to those whom I love," he said, "and then I will come back and give up my life."

　　“就讓我回去辭別我愛的人吧，”他說，“然後我會回來終結我的生命。”

　　The tyrant laughed at him.

　　暴君嘲笑他。

　　"How can I know that you will keep your promise?" he said. "You only want to cheat

　　me, and save yourself."

　　“我怎麼知道你會信守諾言?”他說。“你只想欺騙我.救你自己。”

　　Then a young man whose name was Darmon spoke and said.

　　這時一位名叫達蒙的年輕男子開口說:

　　"O king! Put me in prison in place of my friend Pythias, and let him go to his own country to put his affairs in order, and to bid his friends farewell. I know that he will come back as he promised, for he is a man who has never gone back on his word. But if he is not here on the day which you have set, then I will die in his stead."

　　“噢，國王!把我送進監獄，讓我代替我的朋友皮西厄斯，讓他回自己的國家，處理好事務，與他的朋友們告別吧。我知道他一定會信守諾言回來的，因為他是一個從不食言的人。但是，如果在你設定的那天，他沒有回到這裡，我願替他***。”

　　The tyrant was surprised that anybody should make such an offer. He at last agreed to let Pythias go, and gave orders that the young man Damon should be shut up in prison.

　　暴君很驚，竟然有人提出這樣的請求。他終於同意讓皮西厄斯回去，並下令把達蒙關進監獄。

　　Time passed, and by and by the day drew near which had been set for Pythias to die;and he had not come back. The tyrant ordered the jailer to keep close watch upon Darnon, and not let him escape. But Damon did not try to escape. He still had faith in the truth and honor of his friend. He said, "If Pythias does not come back in time, it will not be his fault.It will be because he is hindered against his will."

　　時間流逝，日子一天天過去，離皮西厄斯的死期越來越近，而他還沒有回來。暴君命令獄吏嚴密監視達蒙，不讓他逃跑、但是達蒙並沒有試圖逃跑，他仍然相信他朋友的真誠和名譽。他說:“如果皮西厄斯沒有按時回來，那也不是他的錯，肯定是他受到了阻礙，違背了他的意願。”

　　At last the day came, and then the very hour. Damon was ready to die. His trust in his friend was as firm as ever; and he said that he did not grieve at having to suffer for one whom he loved so much.

　　這一天最終降臨，行刑的時間到了。達蒙準備接受死刑，但他對朋友的信任一如既往地堅定，他說他為一個他深愛的朋友遭受痛苦，他並不感到悲傷。

　　Then the jailer came to lead him to his death; but at the same moment Pythias stood in the door. He had been delayed by storms and shipwreck, and he had feared that he was too late. He greeted Damon kindly, and then gave himself into the hands of the jailer. He was happy because he thought that he had come in time, even though it was at the last moment.

　　獄卒準備帶他去行刑臺，但就在這時，皮西厄斯出現在了門口。風暴和船舶失事使他延誤了行程.他害怕回來得太晚。他友好地向達蒙問候，之後把自己交到獄卒手中。他很高興，因為他認為他準時回來了，雖然是在最後一刻。

　　The tyrant was not so bad but that he could see good in others. He tell that men who loved and trusted each other, as did Damon and Pythias, ought not to suffer unjustly.And so he set them both free.

　　暴君並非十分邪惡，他還能看到他人身上的美德。他感到人們彼此愛護，相互信任，像達蒙和皮西厄斯一樣，不應該受到不公正的對待。於是他讓兩人都獲得了自由。

　　I would give all my wealth to have one such friend," he said.

　　“我願意用我所有的財富去換取這樣一位朋友，”他說。
