希腊神话对英语学习者学习词汇的影响2

当今时代的许多花草植物的名称都与希腊神话有着密切的联系。而正是因为希腊神话的魅力也使这些花草植物变得更加有魅力和具有神秘感。例如，“Iris”在希腊是早春开放的“鸢尾花”，她迷人的红色花朵会使人身心愉悦。鸢尾花的名字“Iris”来源于希腊神话里的彩虹女神“爱丽丝”。据说她会陪着人们的灵魂穿过由红色花朵组成的彩虹桥去向人们心中向往的天堂。还有一个例子是关于“ 阿伊莫斯”（Iamus）的。“Iamus”在希腊神话中是太阳神阿波罗的儿子，他母亲在紫灌木林中生下他后就把他遗弃了。后来人们发现有几只蛇在他身边用紫花蜜来喂养他。后来，人们用“阿伊莫斯”来命名紫色的灌木花。像这样类似的例子还有很多，例如：蜜桃，魔草，捕蝇草，铁线草，豚草等等。还有许多关于地名的词汇也是来自希腊罗马神话的。

女性服饰品牌“达芙妮”（Daphne）就是希腊神话中的女神达芙妮的名字。说到这段神话故事还是由爱神“丘比特”引出的。当时太阳神“阿波罗”看不起爱神“丘比特”，把他当作小孩子一样戏耍，丘比特一怒之下把爱的“金箭”射向阿波罗，把绝爱的“银箭”射向达芙妮，所以当阿波罗热情地追求达芙妮时，达芙妮坚决不接受他的爱，就跑到她的父亲河神那里哀求道：“帮帮我，父亲！张开胸怀拥抱我，或者改变我的外表，不然的话他会把我带进危险中的。”于是她的父亲把她变作一棵月桂树。她的美丽的金发变作树的树叶，她的曼妙的四肢变成了树的枝桠和躯干。但是阿波罗深深爱着达芙妮，他看着月桂树叹息道：“虽然你不爱我，但是我会永远年轻，你也会永远长青，你的叶子永远也不会凋落，我会永远守在你身边。”之后，“达芙妮”这个名字就象征着对爱的不懈追求和永恒的持久的爱，这个美好寓意就成为了这个公司选择它为品牌名称的原因。还有我们经常去逛的“维多利”商厦，就是来自希腊神话的“维多利亚”（victoria），代表胜利的“胜利女神”。
