念音	He was son of Aeëtes and brother of Medea. To facilitate Jason's escape from Colchis, after he had obtained the Golden Fleece, Medea cut Absyrtus into pieces and strewed them in the way of her pursuing father. 　 [解说] 1. “son of … brother of …”：英文表示「身份」时，其名词前不加冠词，故 “He is son of … and brother of …” (他是某人之子与某人之兄弟)。 他例： “We elected him president” (我们选他为主席)。 2. “To facilitate Jason's escape from Colchis”：「为了使Jason 逃离 Colchis」。 “To facilitate …” = “In order to facilitate …” (为了使…很容易)。 “ Jason's escape from Colchis”为「Jason 之逃离 Colchis」。 他例： “To facilitate your work at home” (为了使你在家容易工作)。 3. “after he had obtained the Golden Fleece”：「在他获得了金羊毛之后」。 “after某人 had p.p.”是针对过去某时候已经完成某事之用法。他例： “after we had crossed the river” (在我们过了河之后)。 “obtained”是「获得」，等于 “got”，但比较有经过怒力而获得之含义。 4. “Medea cut Absyrtus into pieces”：「Medea 把 Absyrtus 砍成碎片」。 “cut…into pieces”为「切或砍成小片或碎片」之成语。他例： “She cut the cake into eight pieces”(她切蛋糕成为八片)。 5. “and strewed them in the way of her pursuing father”：「而撒它们在她父亲追捕的路中」。 “strewed”是「撒放、散布」。 “ in the way”是「在路中」，与 “on the way”(在路上)不同。前者有「挡路」之意，后者有「在进行中」之意。故 “Who got in the way?”为「谁碍了路？」，而 “I am still on the way”为「我仍在旅途中」。 “ her pursuing father”为「她的追击中的父亲」， “pursuing”来自 “pursue”，有「追捕、追击、追赶、追求」等含义，在此指「追击或追捕中」之意。 6. 整段话讲的故事是：Medea 敢爱敢做，她爱上 Jason。 Jason 到 Colchis 来偷走金羊毛，父王于是追捕他。 Medea 为了帮情人逃亡，竟然杀死亲弟弟Absyrtus，还把人砍成碎片撒在路中，用以阻碍追击。 　 [复习填充] Absyrtus was of Aeëtes and of Medea.
