He was the hero of the first part of the Nibelungenlied.   Like Achilles, he was invulnerable in all but one place on his body.   In Siegfried this was a spot between the shoulder blades on which a leaf had fallen as he was bathing in the blood of the dragon Fafnir, which he had slain.   Brunhild discovered the secret spot of his invulnerability and had him murdered by Hagen

 

[解说]

1.      He was the hero of the first part of the Nibelungenlied:他是《尼布龙根之歌》的第一部分的主角。

                Nibelungs 是一矮人族,他们拥有宝藏。Nibelungenlied 是十三世纪的日耳曼叙事诗,叙述的便是 Nibelungs 人因宝藏而衍生的故事。

2.      Like Achilles, he was invulnerable in all but one place on his body:像 Achilles 样,他身上除了一个地方之外,他是全身都不会受伤。 invulnerable:不会受伤、刀枪不入。 but =  except

3.      In Siegfried this was a spot between the shoulder blades:在Siegfried身上,这就是两个肩胛骨之间的一点。 shoulder blades:肩胛骨。

4.      on which a leaf had fallen as he was bathing in the blood of the dragon Fafnir, which he had slain:在那 () 上面,有一片叶子落下来,当他浸浴在 Fafnir 那只他杀死的龙的血中时。叶子遮住的地方,没有浸到龙血,故那地方无法刀枪不入。

5.      Brunhild discovered the secret spot of his invulnerability and had him murdered by Hagen Brunhild 发现他刀枪不入的秘密的地方,而令他被 Hagen 杀死。

    Siegfried 假扮成他妻舅 Gunther,替他赢得 Brunhild 而让他娶到她。后来 Brunhild 知悉此事后,怀恨 Siegfried,而叫 Gunther 的部属 Hagen 杀死他。
