潘多拉的英文故事

Answer 1

【潘多拉的故事】
Many years ago all the word was very beautiful and nobody was ever sick or unhappy.
At that time there lived a beautiful little girl named Pandora. One day gave her a wonderful box tied with a golden cord and made her promise not to open it. Pandora and her little playmate, Epimetheus, often looked at the box and wondered what was in it.
For a long time Pandora kept her promise to the fairy, but at last she wanted to peep into the box. She untied the cord and lifted the cover only a little.
Out flew hundreds of bad little fairies. They stung Pandora and she fell on the floor and screamed. They stung Epimetheus, too.
Then they flew out of doors and stung all the children in the land. By and by Pandora heard a little voice crying, “Let me out, and I will help you,”
She opened the box, and out flew a beautiful little fairy. She told Pandora that her name was Hope. She kissed her and Epimetheus, and made them well. Then away she flew to help the other children.
To this day, when people are sick or unhappy, the good little fairy, Hope, comes to comfort them.

PANDORAZeus made Pandora, the first mortal woman, because he was madat Prometheus who had had given the mortals special gifts. Zeus decided to give the mortals one more gift, and that was Pandora. Each god gave her something to make her perfect. Venus gave her beauty, Mercury gave her persuasion, Apollo gave her music, Hephaestus gave her voice, Hermesgave her pettiness in her tiny brain,etc. Finally she was ready for Earth.Zeus gave her to Epimetheus ( Prometheus's brother). Prometheushad said to Epimetheus," Don't take anything from the Olympians, especially Zeus." Epimetheus was about to decline, but as soon as he looked at her and saw her beauty, he aceptedeus' gift. Epimetheus gave Pandora a box that she was forbidden to open. Every day Pandora wondered what was in the box. She knew she mustn't open it, but she was extremely curious and could not bear not to know its contents. As soon as she pulled the cover off, all of the evil and mistrust flew out into the world. When Pandora looked at the bottomof the box, she saw that the only thing left was hope.I think Pandora is interesting because each of the gods gave her something.Pandora's BoxAt first the life of man on earth washappier than it is now, and then miseries and discontents gradually crept in. Prometheus and Epimetheus created men only, not women.
