希腊神话中的水仙花和回声

希腊神话中的水仙花

纳西瑟斯是河神刻菲索斯（Cephisus）与仙女莱里奥普（Liriope）所生，这个美少年实在是太美了，见过他的女孩都渴望当他的爱人，但他一个也不想要。他漫不经心的走过最迷人的少女身边，无论她怎么吸引他的注意，他都不理不睬。心碎的姑娘在他眼中算不了什么，连最美的仙女Echo（意为“回音”）的悲剧都打动不了他。她是“森林和野生动物女神阿耳忒弥斯的宠婢”，但她得罪了最有权势的天后赫拉(Hera)。赫拉照例想查查宙斯在干什么，她怀疑宙斯爱上某一位仙女，就来盘查她们，看看是哪一个。当她听到Echo愉快的杂谈，立刻分了心，听得津津有味，别的仙女趁机溜走，赫拉查不出来宙斯到底看上谁。不明事理的她迁怒Echo。小仙女变成另一个受赫拉惩罚的可怜人，天后罚她永远不能讲话，只能重复别人的话。赫拉说：“你将永远说最后一句话，却不能先说。”

这是在很难受，尤其是Echo也跟别的女孩子一样，爱上了纳西瑟斯(Nacissisus)。她可以追随他，却不能跟他讲话。有一天，机会好像来了，他向同伴们叫道：“Is anyone here？”她喜滋滋的答应道：“Here，Here.”她还隐在树丛里，所以他没有看见她。他叫道：“Come here.”她正想跟他说这句话，便欣然应道：“Come here.”并伸出双手由林间跨出来，但他嫌恶地掉头而去。他说：“别这样，我宁愿死也不让你支配我。”她只能谦卑地哀求道：“我让你支配我。”但是他已经走了。Echo非常失望，到处流浪。她把自己的失败藏在一个深深的洞穴里。她日日夜夜在山里到处游荡。她对纳西瑟斯产生的爱折磨着她，她的身体逐渐消瘦，血液慢慢蒸发，最后只剩下几根骨头和声音。后来，她的尸骨变成了岩块，而她的声音则到处回荡，回答那些呼喊她的人们。

纳西瑟斯不改残酷的作风，一直瞧不起爱情，月神阿提米丝（Artemis，一称复仇女神涅墨西斯Nemesis）决定惩罚纳西瑟斯。向天神祷告：“愿不爱别人的他爱上他自己。”结果应验了,有一天，那喀索斯来到一口洁净清澈、平静如镜的泉水旁边。绿树掩映的泉水清澈甘美，泉边的青草组成的冠冕倒映水中。纳西瑟斯想喝那清澈的泉水，于是，他躺在泉边的草地上，把头伸向泉水。这时，他看见自

己在清泉中的影子。他突然产生了幻觉，在影子前一动不动，出神地欣赏这个倒影的音容笑貌，已经到了精神恍惚的地步。他爱上了它。他嚷道：“现在我知道别人为我吃了多少苦头了，连我自己也热烈爱上我自己了。可是要如何才能接触水中迷人的影像呢？我离不开它，我唯有一死才能得到自由。”从此，他每天都到湖边来。起初是自我陶醉，渐渐地变成顾影自怜，他一年到头守在那潭边，凝视水影日渐憔悴。Echo在他附近，可是一点办法都没有，等到他奄奄一息对自己的影子叫道：“别了——别了。”最后终于扑向水中自己的倒影……。她才复诵这句话，算是跟他道别。

他死后，受他藐视的众仙女待他很仁慈，想找到他的尸体来安葬，硬是找不着。但他到地的地方却开出一朵迷人的鲜花，她们就叫它纳西瑟斯（水仙花）。

The Story Of Narcissus水仙花的故事

Once upon a time, there was a boy called Narcissus. He was the son of a god and he was very, very handsome. Many women fell in love with him, but he turned them away. One of the women who loved Narcissus was a nymph called Echo. Echo could not speak properly - she could only repeat what was said to her, so she couldn't tell Narcissus that she loved him. One day, when Narcissus was walking in the woods with some friends, he became separated from them. He called out "Is anyone here?" Echo replied "Here, Here". Echo stepped forward with open arms, wanting to cuddle him. But Narcissus refused to accept Echo's love.

Narcissus and Echo (a Greek myth) 水仙與回聲（希臘神話）

Long ago a beautiful boy named Narcissus was born. An oracle told his mother that he could live forever, but only if he never saw his reflection.

Echo, a nymph, used to be the goddess Juno's servant. Echo liked to gossip, and often told lies about the gods. One day, Juno became angry and sent Echo away to live in the forest, saying, "As punishment for your lies, from this day forward you will only be able to repeat what others have spoken."

One day Echo saw Narcissus. She fell in love with him at first sight. Echo quietly began to follow him. How she longed to be able to say, "I love you." She started to cry.

Narcissus turned. "Is someone here?"

"Here," Echo whispered.

Narcissus saw no one. "Come here," he cried.

"Come here," Echo answered.

Now the young man was angry. "Who are you? What do you want?"
