When [解说] 1. “He was a grandson of Aeolus, god of the Winds”：他是风神 Aeolus 的孙子。 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 带走，当他跟 Procris 只结婚几周时。 Aurora 每天清晨看到他外出打猎，所以爱上了他。 3. “But he remained faithful to Procris”：但他对 Procris 仍旧是忠贞不二。 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”：当 Aurora 最后放掉他时，她叫他回去看看是否他太太对他，就像他对太太ㄧ样的忠贞。 “dismiss”：放掉、开除、解放。 “true” = “faithful” (忠贞)。 5. “Back home after eight years, Cephalus did want to test his wife's chastity”：八年后回到家，Cephalus 的确要测试他妻子的贞洁。 chastity：贞洁。 6. “He disguised himself as another man and came to woo her”：他装扮自己成为另一个人而来追求她。 7. “Yet Procris did not give in”：但 Procris 并没有投降。 “give in” = surrender (投降)。 8. “She only hesitated a little for a time”：她只有一次稍为犹豫。 “hesitate, hesitation”：犹豫、踌躇。 9. “but that was enough for Cephalus to proclaim her a traitor”：但那已足够给Cephalus 去宣称她是个叛徒。 10. 这段故事说出：人很容易听信别人而对自己人起疑心。后来 Cephalus 知道自己误会了妻子，也取得妻子的谅解。可是几年后，在外出打猎时，他意外地用妻子送他的标枪 (javelin) 刺穿了她的心。 [复习填充] Cephalus was a g
