1、Section_Learning_about_Language_&_Using_Language THE STORY OF ATALANTAAtalanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed torun and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father that she
2、 would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atalanta made a bargain with him. She said to him, “These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be p
3、ardoned.”Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atalanta, but when they heard of her rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atalantas rules, “Why are these men so foolish?”
4、 he thought. “Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?” However, when he saw Atalanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind.“I will marry Atalanta or die!” he said.Atalanta/tlnt/n.阿塔兰忒(希腊神话人物)princess/prInses/n.公主be (not) allowed to

7、不会嫁给任何一个跑不过她的男人。她的父亲说她必须结婚,于是阿塔兰忒就和他达成了一个协议。她对父亲说:“我有我的条件。如果有人说想娶我,我就跟他赛跑。如果他跑得不如我快,他就要被杀掉,任何人不得求饶。”许多国王和王子想要娶阿塔兰忒,但是当听到她规定的条件时,他们知道那是没有希望的,因此他们中许多人就闷闷不乐地回家了,但是也有一些人留下来赛跑。有位叫希波墨涅斯的人听到阿塔兰忒的条件,大为吃惊。他想:“为什么这些男人那么愚蠢呢?为什么他们跑不过这个公主就让别人把自己杀掉呢?”但是,当希波墨涅斯看到阿塔兰忒从屋子里出来跑步时,他改变了主意。他说:“我要娶阿塔兰忒,否则就去死!”The race sta
8、rted and although the men ran very fast, Atalanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, “How can I run as fast as Atalanta?” He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help.
