[每日閱讀]愛神丘比特和他的情人之箭

字號:

情人節(jié)的標(biāo)志之一是羅馬愛神——丘比特。他是一個赤身*、長有翅膀的嬰兒,手里拿著箭,擺出一副要射心的姿勢……
    One of the symbols of St. Valentine's Day is the Roman god of Love,called Cupid. Cupid is often printed on the card,who is winged infant without wearing anything,poised to shoot his arrow into a heart. He would shoot an arrow of love into a person's heart to make the person fall in love immediately,maybe with the first person to come along.
    Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts,holding them together. So on February 14th not only do we have picture of the Christian St. Valentine but we also have pictures of the non-Christian Cupid,the Roman god of Love.
    參考譯文
    情人節(jié)的標(biāo)志之一是羅馬愛神——丘比特。 丘比特經(jīng)常被印在卡片上,他是一個赤身*、長有翅膀的嬰兒,手里拿著箭,擺出一副要射心的姿勢。他把愛之箭射中一個人的心,這個人會很快墜入愛河,可能是和他(她)第一個見到的人。
    有時候,一只箭會射中兩顆心,把它們穿在一起。在二月十四日,我們不僅有基督的“圣·瓦倫登”的畫像,還有非基督的羅馬愛神丘比特的畫像。
