银川海派英语：古罗马神话中的太阳神Sol (下)

No. 42. 古罗马神话中的太阳神：Sol (下)

太阳永远只有一个，所以太阳神 Sol 的名字衍生出了表示“数字1”的词根：sol- . 托福和SAT 考试中的 sole solitary solo soloist solitude isolate 和 desolate 等重要词汇，都由它产生。

1. sole 来自于词根 sol-，表示“仅有的，唯一的”，

例如：My sole reason for coming here was to see you. 我到这儿唯一的原因就是来看你。

This is the sole means of access to the building. 这是这栋建筑物唯一的入口。

注意哦，sole 这个单词其实还有另一个来源：sole 作为 shoe(鞋子)的变体，表示与“鞋子”有关的“脚掌，脚底”，以及“鞋底，袜底” 。

例如：The hot sand burned the soles of their feet. 灼热的沙地使他们的脚掌感到火辣辣的。

2. solitary 同样来自于词根 sol-，它表示“独自的，单独的”，还能表示“隐士，独居者”。

例如：She enjoys long solitary walks. 她喜欢肚子长距离散步。

Tigers are solitary animals. 老虎是独居的动物。

3. solitude 表示“独居”，它同样是 sol- 词根的衍生词汇。

例如：She longed for peace and solitude. 她渴望安宁，渴望独享清静。

4.“一个人演奏”，“一个人演唱”都叫做 solo，它是 sol- 词根衍生出的另一个重要单词。solo 与 duet(二重奏)和trio(三重奏)，都是根据参加演出的人的数量来划分的。

注意哦，trio 还能表示“三人小组，三人组合”，或者“三件套”: a group of three people or things.

5. soliloquy 表示“一个人说话”，也就是“独白”，它是词根 sol- 与“说话”词根 loq- 的结合。而表示“说的”的 loq- 词根还衍生出了“loquacious(话多的)”，“eloquent(雄辩的)”等重要词汇。

例如：Hamlet`s famous soliloquy “To be or not to be ……” 哈姆雷特那段“生存还是毁灭的”著名独白……

6. 美式英语中 solitaire 的同样来自 sol- 词根，它与 patience 一样，都可以表示“单人纸牌

游戏”。注意哦，patience 除了表示“耐心，忍耐”这个常见含义，还能表示“单人纸牌”。这是patience 的熟词僻义。

银川海派英语：古罗马神话中的花神Flora(上)

银川海派英语：古罗马神话中的花神Flora(上) No. 43. 古罗马神话中的花神：Flora(上) Flora 是古罗马神话中的花神 (goddess of flowers)，预示着鲜花的盛开和春天的到来。她后来嫁给了古罗马神话中“西风之神”：Favonius. 西风之神 Favonius 代表着轻柔和美好的微风(breeze)。于是 Favonius 的衍生出了favorable，意思是“有利的，有好处的”，以及favorite，表示“特别受喜爱的”。例如：The terms of the agreement are favorable to both sides. 协议条款对双方都有利。 It is one of my favorite movies. 这是我特别喜爱的电影之一。注意哦，西风之神Favonius 还有一个好听的名字：Zephyr，而zephyr作为名词，同样表示“和风，微风”：a soft gentle wind. 我们把花神 Flora 的名字的首字母小写，就会得到flora，表示“植物群”，也就是一个地方植被的统称。与 flora相对的是fauna，表示“动物群”，也就是一个地方所有动物的统称。花神 Flora 的名字衍生出了两个同音异形字 (homophone)：flower 以及 flour. flower表示“花朵”，而 flour表示小麦“花朵”长出麦穗之后研磨的“面粉”。注意哦，flower 与 flour 的发音方式是一样的。再后来，花神 Flora 的名字衍生出了一个重要的词根：flor-，表示“花朵”，托福和SAT 考试中floral，florid，florist，floret，inflorescence 都是有它衍生的。 1. floral 表示“用花装饰的”，例如：a floral dress 花裙子；a floral vase，花瓶。floral 的同义词是“flowered”，它同样表示“用花装饰的”。 2. florid 表示“过分花哨的，过分修饰的”，常常用来修饰文章或者语言的风格。例如：the florid language. 过分华丽的辞藻。有时候，florid 还能够表述一个人的脸色“绯红的，面色红润的”，就像鲜花盛开一样。例如：He was a stout florid man. 他是一个身材结实，脸色红润的人。如果我们在florid这个单词的后面加上字母“a”，首字母大写之后，Florida，这就是佛罗里达，因为这里是“鲜花盛开的地方”。

希腊罗马神话之Hera简介英文版

HERA (JUNO). Hera, the eldest daughter of Cronus and Rhea, was born at Samos, or, according to some accounts, at Argos, and was reared by the sea-divinities Oceanus and Tethys, who were models of conjugal fidelity. She was the principal wife of Zeus, and, as queen of heaven, participated in the honours paid to him, but her dominion only extended over the air (the lower aerial regions). Hera appears to be the sublime embodiment of strict matronly virtue, and is on that account the protectress of purity and married women. Faultless herself in her fidelity as a wife, she is essentially the type of the sanctity of the marriage tie, and holds in abhorrence any violation of its obligations. So strongly was she imbued with this hatred of any immorality, that, finding herself so often called upon to punish the failings of both gods and men in this respect, she became jealous, harsh, and vindictive. Her exalted position as the wife of the supreme deity, combined with her extreme beauty, caused her to become exceedingly vain, and she consequently resented with great severity any infringement on her rights as queen of heaven, or any apparent slight on her personal appearance. The following story will signally illustrate how ready she was to resent any slight offered to her. At the marriage of the sea-nymph Thetis with a mortal called Peleus, all the gods and goddesses were present, except Eris (the goddess of Discord). Indignant at not being invited, she determined to cause dissension in the assembly, and for this purpose threw into the midst of the guests a golden apple with the inscription on it "For the Fairest." Now, as all the goddesses were extremely beautiful, each claimed the apple; but at length, the rest having relinquished their pretensions, the number of candidates was reduced to three, Hera, Athene, and Aphrodite, who agreed to appeal to Paris for a settlement of this delicate question, he being noted for the wisdom he had displayed in his judgment upon several occasions. Paris was the son of Priam, king of Troy, who, ignorant of his noble birth, was at this time feeding his flocks on Mount Ida, in Phrygia. Hermes, as messenger of the gods, conducted the three rival beauties to the young shepherd, and with breathless anxiety they awaited his decision. Each fair candidate endeavoured to secure his favour by the most tempting offers. Hera promised him extensive dominions; Athene, martial fame and glory; and Aphrodite, the loveliest woman in the world. But whether he really considered Aphrodite the fairest of the three, or preferred a beautiful wife to fame and power, we cannot tell; all we know is that to her he awarded the golden apple, and she became ever after universally acknowledged as the goddess of beauty. Hera, having fully expected that Paris would give her the preference, was so indignant that she never forgave him, and not only persecuted him, but all the family of Priam, whose dreadful sufferings and misfortunes during the Trojan war were attributed to her influence. In fact, she carried her animosity to such an extent that it was often the cause of domestic disagreements between herself and Zeus, who espoused the cause of the Trojans. Among the many stories of these frequent quarrels there is one connected with Heracles, the favourite son of Zeus, which is as follows:--Hera having raised a storm at sea in order to drive him out of his course, Zeus became so angry that he hung her in the clouds by a golden chain, and attached heavy anvils to her feet. Her son Hephaestus tried to release his mother from her humiliating position, for which Zeus threw him out of heaven, and his leg was broken by the fall.

银川海派雅思听力需谨慎的11个陷阱

雅思听力需谨慎的11个陷阱雅思考生们常会碰到这样的情况：经过一段时间的密集练习，已经基本能够找到听力中的关键信息点，但答案有时却还是会错。有人会问：我明明听到了这个词，这个信息点，为什么写出来还是错呢?其实在听力输入和答案输出的过程中，还需要增加一个辨识的环节。如果缺少这一环节，就容易掉入出题者的陷阱中。下面就来看看雅思听力考试中常出现的集中陷阱~ 1. 时间先后考题中经常通过现在和过去的状况的比较来设置陷阱，考生要特别注意used to, in the past, many years ago, at present, now，in the future 等一系列提示时间先后的词。例如在租房场景中房东会说这里从前有5个人住，后来走了两个，所以现在就只有三个人住了，而题目问的是现在房子里住的人数，答案就自然应该是3 而不是5了。又例如有健身俱乐部在介绍设施时说现在只有健身房，将来还会开设游泳馆。题目中问此俱乐部有什么设施，答案就只能是健身房。 2. 数值比较考题中经常会出现一连串数据连报的现象，让很多考生颇为头疼，特别是当数据较多或对数据的解释较难时。因引起注意的词有：minimum, maximum, least, most, up to等。例如在旅游场景中会说一个旅游团的人数通常在30人左右，但是在淡季时也会有20人的小团，而旺季最高会达到40人，考题中问最大的团几人，就应填40。 3.信息拆分这一个陷阱表现得比较明显的就是数字。很多烤鸭们现在都知道重点靠后原则，所以答案中往往会写最后听到的一个数字。绝大部分情况下这么做是没错的。但是还是有小部分的情况，需要烤鸭们很小心。在考试中有时会把一个完整信息拆成两半，在答题时就要注意综合两方面的信息，其中重点词不是非常明显。举个例子来说，录音中说一个学校里男生有500人，女生有480人，但在题干中，问的却是这个学校总共有多少人。这时候就需要烤鸭们把两个数字加起来。又如在面试场景中，面试者介绍经历时说在纽约住了5年，又在西雅图住了2年。那班级的总人数和在美国居住的时间就应该是前后两个数据的相加。 4.信息选择这类陷阱在两人对话中是经常发生的，特点是由一人列举大量信息让对方选择，对方在评价后作出决定。注意：…should do, decide on，don’t want to 等接出决定的用法及一些表评价的形容词。这时要分清谁是做决定者，且做决定的人的语气有一定提示作用。例如在讨论旅游携带物品时，一方说要带防晒霜，水壶，毛衣，另一给建议的人说防晒霜是必须的，因为会去海滩晒太阳，但水壶太占地方，而且如果换了是他的话，不会带毛衣会带雨衣。则最后要带的物件是防晒霜和雨衣。 5.主观和客观很多烤鸭对这个陷阱不是非常敏感，常常在不知不觉中就把答案写错了。在做雅思听力题的时候一定要看清题干，看要求回答的到底是主观还是客观的情况。考题中会出现主观愿望和客观事实的冲突，这时要注意usually, common, want to, plan to等词。举例来说，一个教授和一个学生正在就论文延期的情况讨论，教授说论文延期的理由只能是生病或批准的事假，学生说是因为正在做另外一个重要的论文;而在题干中问的是教授说的理由。那么这时候烤鸭们就一定要注意了。又比如面试官问面试者会呆多久，面试者回答他一般要在学校学习三年，但是他打算在两年内完成所有课程。则该学生决定要呆的时间就是2年。

希腊罗马神话传说

希腊罗马神话传说和《圣经》中的英语典故 1.An Apple of Discord争斗之源；不和之因；祸根 An Apple of Discord直译为“纠纷的苹果”，出自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事传说希腊阿耳戈英雄(Argonaut)珀琉斯(Peleus)和爱琴海海神涅柔斯的女儿西蒂斯(Thetis)在珀利翁山举行婚礼，大摆宴席。他们邀请了奥林匹斯上(Olympus)的诸神参加喜筵，不知是有意还是无心，惟独没有邀请掌管争执的女神厄里斯(Eris)。这位女神恼羞成怒，决定在这次喜筵上制造不和。于是，她不请自来，并悄悄在筵席上放了一个金苹果，上面镌刻着“属于最美者”几个字。天后赫拉(Hera)，智慧女神雅典娜(Athena)、爱与美之神阿芙罗狄蒂(Aphrodite)，都自以为最美，应得金苹果，获得“最美者”称号。她们争执不下，闹到众神之父宙斯(Zeus)那里，但宙斯碍于难言之隐，不愿偏袒任何一方，就要她们去找特洛伊的王子帕里斯(Paris)评判。三位女神为了获得金苹果，都各自私许帕里斯以某种好处：赫拉许给他以广袤国土和掌握富饶财宝的权利，雅典娜许以文武全才和胜利的荣誉，阿芙罗狄蒂则许他成为世界上最美艳女子的丈夫。年青的帕里斯在富贵、荣誉和美女之间选择了后者，便把金苹果判给爱与美之神。为此，赫拉和雅典娜怀恨帕里斯，连带也憎恨整个特洛伊人。后来阿芙罗狄蒂为了履行诺言，帮助帕里斯拐走了斯巴达国王墨涅俄斯的王后---绝世美女海伦(Helen)，从而引起了历时10年的特洛伊战争。不和女神厄里斯丢下的那个苹果，不仅成了天上3位女神之间不和的根源，而且也成为了人间2个民族之间战争的起因。因此，在英语中产生了an apple of discord这个成语，常用来比喻any subject of disagreement and contention;the root of the trouble;dispute等意这个成语最初为公元2世纪时的古罗马历史学家马克?朱里?尤斯丁(Marcus Juninus Justinus)所使用，后来广泛的流传到欧洲许多语言中去，成为了一个国际性成语。 eg: He throwing us an apple of discord,we soon quarrelled again. The dispute about inheriting estate formed an apple of discord between them. This problem seems to be an apple of discord between the Soviet union and the USA. 2.The Heel of Achilles 亦作The Achilles' Heel唯一弱点；薄弱环节；要害 The Heel of Achilles直译是“阿基里斯的脚踵”，是个在欧洲广泛流行的国际性成语。它源自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事。阿基里斯是希腊联军里最英勇善战的骁将，也是荷马史诗Iliad里的主要人物之一。传说他是希腊密耳弥多涅斯人的国王珀琉斯和海神的女儿西蒂斯所生的儿子。阿基里斯瓜瓜坠地以后，母亲想使儿子健壮永生，把他放在火里锻炼，又捏着他的脚踵倒浸在冥河(Styx)圣水里浸泡。因此阿基里斯浑身象钢筋铁骨，刀枪不入，只有脚踵部位被母亲的手捏住，没有沾到冥河圣水，成为他的唯一要害。在特洛伊战争中，阿基里斯骁勇无敌，所向披靡，杀死了特洛伊主将，著名英雄赫克托耳(Hector)，而特洛伊的任何武器都无法伤害他的身躯。后来，太阳神阿波罗(Apollo)把阿基里斯的弱点告诉了特洛伊王子帕里斯，阿基里斯终于被帕里斯诱到城门口，用暗箭射中他的脚踵，负伤而死。因此，the heel of Achilles,也称the Achilles' heel，常用以表示a weak point in something that is otherwise without fault;the weakest spot等意思。 eg:The shortage of fortitude is his heel of Achilles. His Achilles' heel was his pride--he would get very angry if anyone criticized his work.3.Helen of Troy 3.Helen of Troy 直译"特洛伊的海伦"，源自源自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事。 Helen是希腊的绝世佳人，美艳无比，嫁给希腊南部邦城斯巴达国王墨涅俄斯(Menelaus)为妻。后来，特洛伊王子帕里斯奉命出事希腊，在斯巴达国王那里做客，他在爱与美之神阿

希腊罗马神话英文讲义

1 The Beginning of the world Before earth and sea and heavens became known the face of nature was one crude, formless mass. Land and sea and air were mingled together. The universe was a uniform darkness, without sun and moon, and the earth was no more than an embryo heap. In the middle of the pervading gloom sat Chaos and his wife, the goddess of Night (Nyx), who reigned but did not rule, for the whole space was lifeless. Centuries later, with the birth of Light and Day, earth and sea and air came into existence. Still later, the union of Gaea (Earth) and Uranus (Heaven) gave birth to the Titans, the Cyclopes and the Centimani, all giants in stature and strength. Afraid that his own gigantic children might usurp his throne, Uranus drove them all back to the earth, and thus roused the resentment of the mother Gaea. At her instigation one of her sons, Kronus (Saturn), attacked and wounded Uranus with a sickle he had taken from his mother, and took over as supreme ruler of the universe. He married his own sister Rhea and entrusted the management of the sun to his brother Hyperion and the moon to his sister Phoebe. He ruled his realm peacefully until an oracle prophesied that he would one day be dethroned by one of his own children. To avert the disaster he took the excessive precaution of swallowing up all his five children one by one immediately after their birth. These were Hestia (Vesta), Demeter (Ceres), Hera (Juno), Poseidon (Neptune) and Hades (Pluto). When Rhea bore the last child, Zeus (Jupiter) by name, Kronus wanted to get rid of him in the same fashion. But the mother wrapped up a piece of stone in the infant’s swathes and handed it over to the unsuspecting father. Thus Zeus was saved, and sent to Mt Ida, where the mountain nymphs did all their power to protect him from any harm. By the time Kronus became aware of the deception it was too late, for young Zeus suddenly appeared before him and easily deposed him. With the help of a nauseous potion, Zeus forced his father to disgorge his five brothers and sisters. But Kronus and his Titans were not reconciled to their defeat. They made war on Zeus and his brothers and sisters. Acting on the advice of his mother Rhea, Zeus released the Cyclopes from under the earth and armed himself of their thunderbolts, for the Cyclopes were thunderbolt-makers. The rebellious Titans were soon reduced to submission and cast down into Tartarus. Zeus became the undisputed ruler on Olympus. He made his sister Hera his queen, and distributed power among his brothers and sisters and his sons and daughters. Among others, Poseidon ruled over the vast expanse of seas and oceans, and Pluto was created lord of the lower world. Thus, for untold centuries, the Olympians reigned supreme in the universe, lording it over man and beast alike, until they were dethroned and superseded by a new, monotheistic faith. 2 The Olympian Gods Between Macedon and Thessaly of northern Greece there stood a lofty mountain range whose cloudy summit rushed into the very heavens. On the culminating point of the range, Mt Olympus, was bathed in bliss and brightness the home of the gods,
