4. 词汇:Achilles / Hercules / Spiderman / Batman
→ Achilles 阿喀琉斯
Achilles,也常译作阿基里斯、阿喀琉斯等,是古希腊神话和文学中的英雄人物,参与了特洛伊战争,被称为“希腊第一勇士”。
是凡人英雄珀琉斯和海洋女神忒提斯的爱子。忒提斯为了让儿子炼成“金钟罩”,在他刚出生时就将其倒提着浸进冥河。遗憾的是,阿喀琉斯被母亲捏住的脚后跟却不慎露在水外,在全身留下了唯一一处“死穴”。后来,阿喀琉斯被帕里斯一箭射中脚踝而死去。后人常以“Achilles' heel 阿喀琉斯之踵”譬喻这样一个道理:即使是再强大的英雄,也有致命的死穴或软肋。
词链儿:Achilles' heel /əˌkɪliːz ˈhiːl/ 致命要害;薄弱环节
I think Frank’s vanity is his Achilles' heel.
我认为,虚荣心是弗兰克的致命弱点。
→ Hercules 赫拉克勒斯 (古希腊神话中的大力神)
赫拉克勒斯(Hercules,又译海格力斯),是古希腊神话中最伟大的英雄。神王宙斯与阿尔克墨涅之子,天生力大无穷。但由于其出身而被宙斯的妻子赫拉所憎恶,因此遭到赫拉的诅咒,导致其在疯狂中杀害了自己的孩子。为了赎罪,他完成了12项“不可能完成”的任务。途中还解救了被缚的普罗米修斯,隐藏身份参加了伊阿宋的英雄探险队,并协助伊阿宋取得金羊毛。
赫拉克勒斯英明一世,但却遭到妻子误会,在他的衣服上涂了毒,导致其痛苦难耐自焚而亡。死后升入奥林匹斯山,被宙斯封为大力神,参与了奥林匹斯诸神与癸干忒斯的战争,并取得胜利。最终和赫拉冰释前嫌,为了表示对他的认可,赫拉将自己的女儿青春女神赫柏许配给赫拉克勒斯为妻。
在今天的西方世界,赫拉克勒斯一词已经成为了大力士和壮汉的同义词。
→ Spiderman (Spider-Man) n. 蜘蛛侠
美国漫威漫画旗下超级英雄
→ Batman n. 蝙蝠侠
美国DC漫画旗下的超级英雄
5. 词汇:gift n. 天赋,才能

Something Just Like This
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spider-Man's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
She said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss
I want something just like this
I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
