Atalanta’s better part:Atalanta’s better quality.i.c.her fleetness of foot. but not her greed(Atalanta wasa Greek girl.distinguished for her swiftness in run-ning.To avoid marriage,she asked her suitors to runa race with her.Milanion presented himself withthree golden apples. During the race,he threw downthe apples,and Atalanta. stopping to gather them.lost the race.)阿塔兰塔的优点指她的快腿,她的缺点则是贪心。(按:据希腊神话,阿塔兰塔是著名的快腿姑娘。她不愿结婚,提出凡向她求婚者,必须跟她赛跑。弥拉尼翁揣着三只金苹果向她求婚,赛跑时扔下一只只金苹果,阿塔兰塔只顾去拾,自然跑输了。) △As.3.2.156(147).As.3.2.294(277):“Youhave a nimble wit;I think ’twas made of Atalanta’sheels.”您的机智很敏捷,我想大概是用阿塔兰塔的脚跟做成的。 |
