　　下面小編為大家帶來兩篇，歡迎大家閱讀!

　　：巨人與神之戰

　　The Greed made up stories about how.The world began, and how gods,giants and people came be.

　　希臘人編造了很多故事，這些故事是有關世界是怎樣形成的，神、巨人和人類怎樣出現的。

　　At first ,they said, the world was all mixed up. Earth fire and water were all mixed together.Then heaven and earth came to be.Heaven was a god,and earth was a goddess their children were giants.One of them,Cronus,was the ruler of time.

　　他們說起初整個世界都是混沌的。土地、火和水都混和在一起。然後有了天和地。天是一位男神，地是一位女神。他們的孩子就是巨人。其中一個叫克洛諾斯的，他是當時統治者。

　　Cronus learned from his father that one of his own sons would take away his power. This made cronus angry and afraid,so he swallowed all of his children except one .That one was little Zeus.Zeus was saved by his mother, who gave Cronus a stone dressed as a baby to swallow.She hid Zeus in a cave.

　　克洛諾斯從他父親那知他的一個兒子將會奪走他的權力。這使克洛諾斯又驚又怕，所以他吞下了他所有的孩子，但有一個除外。那一個孩子就是小宙斯。宙斯的媽媽用一個裝扮成嬰兒樣子的石頭代替他被吞掉了。她把宙斯藏在一個洞中。

　　When Zeus grew up he heard of what Cronus had done.He tricked Cronus into drinking strong liquor ,which made him cough the children up ,along with the stone dressed like Zeus!

　　當宙斯長大聽說了克洛諾斯所做的事情後，他騙克洛諾斯喝下了烈酒，這使得克洛諾斯把所有的孩子連同那個做成宙斯模樣的石頭一起咳了出來。

　　The children of Cronus were angry ,and their father was angry too.This led to a war .Cronus and most of the giants were on one side, with Zeus and most of the giants were on one side,with Zeus and his brothers and sisters and few giants on the other.

　　克洛諾斯的孩子們很生氣，克洛諾斯也很生氣。這導致了一場戰爭。克洛諾斯和大部分的巨人站在一邊，宙斯和他的兄弟姐妹及少數巨人站在另一邊。

　　Zeus and his group were on top of mount Olympus .The giants stood on a nearby peak.The fighting was fierce and noisy . Boulders,trees and lingtning bolts flew back and forth.

　　宙斯和他的一隊人馬在奧林匹斯山頂上。巨人們站在附近的山峰上。戰爭激烈面喧囂。巨石、樹木和閃電飛來飛去。

　　After ten years the biants were beaten.one giant ,named Atlas,was forced to hold up the sky .Cronus ran away. Zeus and his brothers and sisters became gods and goddesses, and controlled the world.

　　十年後巨人們被打敗了。其中一個叫阿特拉斯的人被迫擎著天。克洛諾斯跑掉了。宙斯和他的兄弟姐妹變成了神靈，統治著世界。

　　：火和第一個人

　　The Greeks told stories to explain how things came to be. The first animals and the first man were made by two giants who had been on the side of the gods in the war with Cronus

　　希臘人用故事來解釋萬物是怎樣生成的。第一批動物和第一個人是由兩個人巨人創造出來的，這兩個巨人曾在對抗克洛諾斯的戰鬥中站在神的一邊。

　　Prometheus,a cheerful giant ,ant his brother were told create birds ,beasts and men.Prometheus let his brother make the birds .the brother was easy going ,and gave them many gifts .

　　普羅米修斯，一位快樂的巨人，和他的兄弟被告知去創造鳥、獸和人。普羅米修斯讓他的兄弟創造鳥和獸。他的兄弟是個隨和的人，給了鳥和獸許多禮物。

　　“Have you anything left for man ?”asked Prometheus.

　　“Sorry,said his brother .I have given most of the good things away .”

　　Then I’ll try to get fire for him ,”said Prometeus .

　　“你沒留下點什麼給人類嗎?”普羅米修斯問道。

　　“對不起，”他的兄弟說，“我已經給出了大部分美好的東西。”

　　“那麼我將把火送給人類。”普羅米修斯說。

　　Fire was a great power ,and Zeus had said that it must not live heaven.Fire was sacred to the gods .Prometheus was truly noble,and did not want man ,who was made of clay and water to be weak.

　　火是一種巨大的力量，並且宙斯曾說過絕不能讓它離開天國。火對諸神而言是神聖的。普羅米修斯非常高尚，他不想讓用粘土和水做出人類過於弱小。

　　He went up to heaven and lit a torch near the sun.He brought the torch back to earth and gave it to the first man.

　　他升入天國，在太陽邊上點燃了火把。他把火把帶回到地面給了世上第一個人。

　　Zeus was so angry when he found out about this that he tied pronetheus to a great rock on a mountain.Avulture came and ate his liver,and Prometheus wanted to die and his pain.But Zens made the liver grow back each night,and every day the vulture ate it .

　　宙斯發現這件事情以後，非常震怒，於是他把普羅米修斯綁在了山上一塊巨大的岩石上。一隻兀鷹來啄食他的肝，普羅米修斯想以死來結束痛苦。但是宙斯讓他的肝每晚又復原，每天兀鷹都會來啄食。
