He was the grandfather of Achilles. He asked
Zeus to turn a troop of busy ants into a people, the Myrmidons, for him.
After his death he was appointed one of the judges in Hell since he used to judge
disputes between gods when he was still alive. [解说] 1. “He was the grandfather of Achilles”：「他是 Achilles 的祖父」。 2. “He asked Zeus to turn a troop of busy ants into a people, the Myrmidons, for him”：「他要求 Zeus 为他而把一群忙碌的蚂蚁变成一个民族，即墨米丹人」。“turn A into B”为「把 A 变成 B」。“troop”是「群、队」或「班、组」，“a troop of soldiers”是「一队兵」，“a troop of actors”则是「一班或一团演员」。“a people”为「一个民族」。注意：“people”当「人们」解时是多数，前面不能加“a”。“the Myrmidons”是后来追随 Achilles 去攻打 Troy 的人。 3. “After his death he was appointed one of the judges in Hell”：「死后他被任命为地狱的判官之一」。“appoint”为「任命」，常用于“appoint 某人 + 某职位”之句型，例如：“They appointed him mayor of the city”(他们任命他为市长)。 4. “since he used to judge disputes between gods when he was still alive”：「既然他常裁判神与神之间的争执，当他还活着的时候」。“used to …”指过去「一向或常常」。“judge disputes”是「裁判争执」。 [复习填充] Aeacus was the of
