It was an island formerly called Ortygia. When Zeus got Leto pregnant, he sent her there as her sanctuary to keep her from the pursuing hatred of Hera. It was there that Leto gave birth to her great twin children: Apollo and Artemis. They say the island was originally a floating island, but after the great event it became fixed. [解说] 1. “It was an island formerly called Ortygia”:它是一个以前称为 Ortygia 的岛屿。 2. “When Zeus got Leto pregnant, he sent her there”:当 Zeus 使 Leto 怀孕时,他送她到那里。 3. “as her sanctuary to keep her from the pursuing hatred of Hera”:当她的避难所,以保护她免于天后 Hera 在追逐中的恨。 “sanctuary”:保护区、避难所、神殿、圣堂。 天后 Hera 会追杀任何天王的情妇,所以有所谓 “the pursuing hatred” (在追逐中的恨)。 4. “It was there that Leto gave birth to her great twin children: Apollo and Artemis”:就是在那里 Leto 生下他伟大的双胞胎小孩,Apollo 和 Artemis。 5. “They say the island was originally a floating island, but after the great event it became fixed”:据说那岛屿原来是一个漂浮的岛,但在那大事件之后就变成固定的。 “floating”:漂浮的。 “fixed”:固定的。 [复习填充] . |
