节选自《希腊神话》中的《普罗米修斯》,这里关于普罗米修斯盗火成功后的事。


The original

      When Prometheus(普罗米修斯)lit the first campfire on earth, the people were afraid of it. But they trusted him, and so they came closer and closer and enjoyed the fire’s pleasant warmth and beautiful glow.

      Prometheus knew that he would not have much time before Zeus(宙斯)discovered that he had been disobedient(不服从的). But he also knew that, powerful as Zeus was, once a god had given a gift it could not be taken away. So he quickly taught the mortals(凡人)how to use the gift of fire.

      Now Zeus was a jealous god. He grudged(不情愿地给)men all the gifts that Prometheus had given them and he was angry with Prometheus for teaching men so many thing. And so when he found that Prometheus had given to men this final gift of fire, he burst out into uncontrollable rage(狂怒).
