He was a grandson of Aeolus, god of the Winds. He was carried off by Aurora, goddess of the Dawn, when he was married only a few weeks with Procris. But he remained faithful to Procris. When Aurora at last dismissed him, she told him to go back and see if his wife had been as true to him as he to her. Back home after eight years, Cephalus did want to test his wife's chastity. He disguised himself as another man and came to woo her. Yet Procris did not give in. She only hesitated a little for a time, but that was enough for Cephalus to proclaim her a traitor.

[解說]

1. “He was a grandson of Aeolus, god of the Winds”：他是風神 Aeolus 的孫子。

2. “He was carried off by Aurora, goddess of the Dawn, when he was married only a few weeks with Procris”：他被曙光之女神 Aurora 帶走，當他跟 Procris 只結婚幾週時。 Aurora 每天清晨看到他外出打獵，所以愛上了他。

3. “But he remained faithful to Procris”：但他對 Procris 仍舊是忠貞不二。

4. “When Aurora at last dismissed him, she told him to go back and see if his wife had been as true to him as he to her”：當 Aurora 最後放掉他時，她叫他回去看看是否他太太對他，就像他對太太ㄧ樣的忠貞。 “dismiss”：放掉、開除、解放。 “true” = “faithful” (忠貞)。

5. “Back home after eight years, Cephalus did want to test his wife's chastity”：八年後回到家，Cephalus 的確要測試他妻子的貞潔。 chastity：貞潔。

6. “He disguised himself as another man and came to woo her”：他裝扮自己成為另一個人而來追求她。

7. “Yet Procris did not give in”：但 Procris 並沒有投降。 “give in” = surrender (投降)。

8. “She only hesitated a little for a time”：她只有一次稍為猶豫。 “hesitate, hesitation”：猶豫、躊躇。

9. “but that was enough for Cephalus to proclaim her a traitor”：但那已足夠給Cephalus 去宣稱她是個叛徒。

10. 這段故事說出：人很容易聽信別人而對自己人起疑心。後來 Cephalus 知道自己誤會了妻子，也取得妻子的諒解。可是幾年後，在外出打獵時，他意外地用妻子送他的標槍 (javelin) 刺穿了她的心。
