[解说] 1.
“one
of the Argonauts”：「阿果航员之一」。 “Argo”是一船名，为 “Argos”所建。
“-naut”为「航员」(sailor)之意。 “ Argonauts”指搭乘阿果号船只去寻找金羊毛的所有航员。注意：美国的「航天员」称为 “astronaut”(星球航员)，苏联的「航天员」则称为 “cosmonaut”(宇宙航员)。 2. “He took part in the Calydonian Boar Hunt”：「他参与 Calydon 的猎猪(行动)」。 “took part in…” = “participated in…”，为「参与…」之意。 “the Calydonian Boar Hunt” 是一项猎捕巨大野猪 (boar) 的行动，地点在 Calydon。 3. “His wife falsely accused Peleus of attempting to seduce her”：「他太太诬告 Peleus企图诱奸她」。 “accused 某人 of V-ing”是「控告某人做某事」之语型，例如， “They accused him of smuggling arms”(他们告他走私军火)。 “falsely accused” 为「假造地控告」，即「诬告」。 “attempt to V” 为「企图做某事」，例如， “She attempted to murder the child”(她企图谋杀那小孩)。 “seduce”为「勾引、诱奸」，其名词为 “seduction”。 4. “In revenge, Acastus stole Peleus' magic sword”： 「为了报复，Acastus 偷走Peleus 的魔剑」。 “in revenge”(于泄忿中) 或 “out of revenge”(出于泄忿) 都是「为了报复」之意。 “magic sword”是「魔剑」， “magic wand”则为「魔棒」。 5. 整段话讲到 Acastus 的不幸。他虽为英雄 (参与寻找金羊毛又参加猎猪大会)，却被太太害了。他太太诬告他人，激怒他去偷人家的魔剑，后来两人都被 Peleus 所杀。
