Do you know Troy War? Do you know Olympic Games? Do you know the Pantheon

你听说过特洛伊斗争吗？你知说念奥运会吗？你一睹过帕特农神庙的风仪吗？你知说念统共这些伟大的创作齐源自于古希腊吗？古希腊被誉为“西方雅致的摇篮”，大致2500年前，希腊东说念主创造了令东说念主宝贵的生活，为后代留住了宝贵的资产。

Chapter I

1. Ancient Greece 古希腊

欧洲历史包罗万象，各种要素跟着岁月的推移不竭地变化着。其中两条骨干对欧洲历史发展产生了深化的影响：希腊-罗马历史和犹太教-基督教历史。

●Greece—Homeland to Olympics 雅典——奥运会的桑梓

The Greeks loves sports very much. Once every four years, they had a big festival on Olympus Mount that includes contests of sports. The Greek Olympics, part of a religious festival, began in 776 BC and inspired the modern Olympic Games (began in 1896).

古希腊东说念主珍视体育通顺。每隔四年，他们齐要在奥林匹斯山举行一次大型的嘉会，包括体育竞赛。古希腊的奥林匹克体育竞赛始于公元前776年，那时仅仅宗教仪式的部分行径。1896年，奥林匹克通顺重回希腊，并发展成为宇宙上最具限度的业余体育竞赛行径。

The Disc Thrower 掷饼者（雕琢）

His moment is leading to explosive action. It is designed on a frontal plane with head and legs in profile

掷饼者雕琢展示的是力量爆发转眼的动作。由他的头部和腿的侧面以及上前歪斜的上身组成了一幅正面的后果图。作品依靠弯成弧形的手臂、头部和左腿来保持通盘体格的均衡。这幅作品主要展示了古典作风中私有的和洽比例。

Events at the Games 通顺方式

At the rst one-day Olympic Games, the only event was a short sprint from one end of the stadium to the other. The running track was much wider than a modern one. Twenty people could run at once. Gradually more events were added to make ve days of competitions, including the openingand closing ceremonies. They included wrestling, boxing,long jump, throwing the javelin and discus, and chariot

掷饼者

Winners were given a wreath of leaves, and a hero's welcome back home. Winners might marry rich women,enjoy free meals, invitations to parties, and the best seats in the theatre.

第一届古代奥运会只举行一天，比赛方式只消短跑，参赛选手从通顺场的一端跑到另一端就算完成了比赛。不外那时的跑说念比当今的竞竞走说念要宽，20个选手不错同期参加比赛。跟着项辩论加多，比赛时辰增至5天，加上开幕式、斥逐式及一些仪式行径。加多的方式有：摔跤、拳击、跳远、标枪、铁饼、战车竞走等。其中五项万能包括：跑步、摔跤、标枪、铁饼和跳远。

优厚者常常被赐予橄榄枝花冠，然后高峻还乡。他们因此不错迎娶家说念殷实的令嫒密斯、享受免费的食物，参加各式约会，并领有剧院最佳的位置。

●Women at Olympia 女性与古代奥运会

Only men, boys and unmarried girls were allowed to attend the Olympic Games. Married women were not allowed into the Olympic Games. Any women caught sneaking

Chapter I

Unmarried women had their own festival at Olympia every four years. This was the Heraia, held in honour of Hera, wife of Zeus. Women could compete in running races, though only unmarried girls took part. Winners were awarded crowns of sacred olive branches, the same as men. As a rule Greek women did not go in for sport, unless they were Spartans.

除了成年男性，独身女孩和男孩也不错参加奥运会，但是已婚女性排斥在外。任何已婚女性，若被抓到偷看奥运会，将受到严厉的刑事遭殃。参加战车竞走的女性不错领有属于我方的马驹。

在每隔四年的古代奥运会中，独身女孩也有属于她们我方的节日，那即是为挂念宙斯的太太赫拉所举行的Heraia。参加竞走的女性也仅限于独身女孩，与男性同样，优厚者也可取得橄榄枝花冠。但是，在古希腊，除了斯巴达女性，其他城邦的女性不允许参加奥运会。

●Spartan Warriors 斯巴达强人

While Athens was trying democracy

It was tough being a Spartan. Sickly babies were killed. Boys practised ghting and did athletics. He became a soldier when he was 20. However, a boy's training began much earlier, when he left his family home at the age of 7,and went to live in an army school. Discipline

Girls also did physical exercises. Spartan women had more freedom than other Greek women—a wife ran the family farm and gave orders to the helots

Spartan mothers told their sons before they left for battle, "Come back with your shield

古希腊200多个城邦中，雅典和斯巴达是最具有实力的。在那时，雅典是一个追求民主、跨越、文学茁壮的城邦，斯巴达却保守、专制。那时的斯巴达有两个国王，一个坐阵原土，另一个开拓他方。斗争是斯巴达东说念主最擅长的。据希腊东说念主描画，在战场上，一个斯巴达东说念主抵过好几个敌手。

斯巴达东说念主的成长历程是吃力的。刚降生的婴儿，如果不够健壮，就会成功被摔死。男孩从小就熟习干戈、参加体育通顺。当他20岁的时候，就不错服役成为别称士兵。但是，他早在7岁的时候就离开了家庭，住在戎行学校，驱动继承检会。戎行规律严酷，即使在严冬，也只允许穿一件长袍，必须光脚步辇儿。在这段时辰里，他必须学会如安在吃力的条款下生涯，取得食物。在斯巴达东说念主眼里，像希腊东说念主那样喝醉酒是很愚蠢的。即使成婚后，斯巴达男东说念主依然在戎行生活。

Chapter I

古代奥运会竞技场遗迹

斯巴达女孩也参加体育锤真金不怕火。与希腊其他城邦的女性比拟，斯巴达女性享有更多的开脱——常常主妇们科罚通盘家庭，不错对下东说念主与奴隶调兵遣将。在斯巴达，老东说念主也备受尊敬。

在女儿出征前，斯巴达母亲会对他说：要么带着你的盾记忆，要么躺在上头记忆。”在战场上糟跶的斯巴达士兵，他们的遗体会置于我方的盾牌上，由战友们带回家乡。只消小丑才会弃盾牌逃逸。

The 300 Spartans 斯巴达300强人

Sparta's most famous battle was Thermopylae. The year was 480

B.C. A huge Persian army was trying to invade Greece. Barring the way at the mountain pass of Thermopylae were 300 Spartan soldiers led by King Leonidas, along with a few hundred other Greeks.

The Spartans' brave ght lasted three days. One story says that after they broke their swords, the Spartans fought the Persians with their bare hands and teeth! In the end, Leonidas and his Spartans lay dead. The Persians marched on to capture Athens. But soon afterwards the Greeks defeated the Persian eet at the sea battle of Salamis.

斯巴达最着名的战役是德摩比利之战。公元前四百八十年，波斯国国王薛西斯一生管辖五十万雄兵、战船千余艘，大举热切希腊，并一齐南下面临德摩比利隘口。在此进行决死搏斗的是斯巴达国王列奥尼达斯亲率的斯巴达300强人，以及由各处联结而来的希腊联军几百东说念主。

这场豪壮的战役不息了3天。有东说念主说，在他们的刀剑用结束以后，他们用我方的双手和牙齿与波斯戎行不绝拼搏。临了，列奥尼达斯和他的强人们齐豪壮糟跶，波斯戎行不绝热切雅典。但是，很快希腊东说念主就在萨拉米斯海战中将波斯舰队击溃。

●Homer 欧洲文学始祖——荷马

Ancient Greeks considered Homer to be the author of their epics. He probably lived around 700 B.C. Two such epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey,have survived. They are not about events of Homer's own time, but about great men and wars of remoter age, probably in the period of 1200—1100

B.C.

The Iliad deals with the alliance of the states of the southern mainland of Greece, led by Agamemnon in their war against the city of Troy. The heroes are Hector on the Trojan side and Achilles and Odysseus on the Greek. In the nal battle, Hector was killed by Achilles and Troy was sacked

The Odyssey deals with the return of Odyssey after the Trojan War to his home island of Ithaca. It describes many adventures he ran into on his long sea voyage

荷马被古希腊东说念主认为是史诗的作家。他或者生活在公元前700年足下。他的两部巨作——《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》流传于今。这两部作品的内容齐不是对于荷马我方所处期间的事情，而是对于邃古期间——大致公元前1200年到公元前1100年之间的斗争以及强者东说念主物的行状。

《伊利亚特》描画了在阿伽门农的率领下，古希腊南部各城邦合股开拓特洛伊城的故事。书中的强者东说念主物，有特洛伊的赫克托耳，还有古希腊的阿喀琉斯及奥德修斯。在临了的战斗中，阿喀琉斯杀死了赫克托耳。古希腊东说念主将特洛伊城打劫一空，有一把火炬它烧为灰烬。

《奥德赛》主要论说了特洛伊斗争结果后奥德修斯复返家乡伊大加岛的故事。书中描画了在永恒帆海路径中的各种冒险经验，以及最终他如何与诚意的太太佩涅

●Socrates, Plato, Aristotle 希腊三贤——苏格拉底、柏拉图、亚里士多德

"Let Plato be your friend，and Aristotle，but more let your friend be Truth."

——哈佛大学校训：与柏拉图为友，与亚里士多德为友，更要与真谛为友。

Socrates, Plato, Aristotle are greatest names in European philosophy

苏格拉底、柏拉图和亚里士多德是欧洲形而上学史上最伟大的东说念主物，他们生活在公元前5世纪和4世纪的希腊雅典。他们彼此细密衔接，苏格拉底教过柏拉图，柏拉图又是亚里士多德的竭诚。但是柏拉图与亚里士多德对许多事物有不同的不雅点，并变成了各自的门户。

Socrates 苏格拉底

When Socrates (about 470-399B.C.) is mentioned, one generally thinks of two ideas.

The first is the "Socratic method," a way of imparting students knowledge by asking them a series of "leading questions." According to Socrates, as recorded by Plato in his Dialogues, we have all lived before,and that by asking the right questions, a good teacher can cause us to "remember" what we used to know in a previous lifetime. More likely, it wasa way of leading people to logical conclusions.

The other common idea associated with Socrates is "Socratic wisdom." Socrates hold that one should not claim to know things beyond his expertise. For example, a shopkeeper

说到苏格拉底（大致公元前470~399），东说念主们一般会猜度两个见识。

第一个见识即是“苏格拉底问答法”，即通骚动学生一系列问题，从而指引学生发现常识的一种教诲才略。柏拉图在《话语录》中纪录，苏格拉底认为我们齐有过前世，而一个好的竭诚不错通骚动对问题，从而指引我们“难忘”前世所了解的常识。其实，这更像是一种指引东说念主们进行逻辑念念考、作念出论断的才略。

第二个对于苏格拉底的见识即是“苏格拉底灵敏”。他认为，我们不应该张大其辞，说我方忽闪本行业除外的事情。比如说，一个店家不应该说他亦然政事鸿沟内行；一个大夫不应该说他亦然木匠内行。因此“了解你的不及”，知说念我们所掌抓的常识是有限的，才是苏格拉底灵敏的精髓。

Plato 柏拉图

Plato (about 428-348 B.C.), wrote down Socrates'ideas, probably mixing in many of his own. He loved his teacher Socrates. Also, he showed himself a brilliant

苏格拉底在千里念念

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. 解释的根是苦的，但其果实是甜的。

stylist20, writing with wit and grace. Shelley said: "Plato was essentially a poet—the truth and splendor of his imagery, and the melody of his language,are the most intense that it is possible to conceive."

Plato built up a comprehensive system of philosophy. It dealt with,among other things, the problem of how, in the complex, ever-changing world, men were to attain knowledge. The reply he gave was: men have knowledge because of the existence of certain general "ideas", like beauty,truth, goodness. Only these "ideas" are completely real, while the physical world is only relatively real. For this reason, Plato's philosophy is called Idealism

柏拉图记录了苏格拉底的念念想，也可能会通了我方的看法。他爱我方的竭诚苏格拉底。同期，他也发扬出了一个了得文学家的才略。他的写稿不仅充满灵敏，而且极富文华。雪莱说：“柏拉图在实质上是个诗东说念主——他那传神丽都的比方、开通优好意思的语言，齐是所能遐想得到的最具力量的东西。”

柏拉图竖立了一个博大深通的形而上学体系，这个体系主要波及的是东说念主类在这个复杂多变的宇宙中，怎样才略取得真知。他的论断是：因为宇宙上存在着一些大齐的“理念”，如真、善、好意思等，是以东说念主是能够领有真知的。只消这些“理念”是确切的，物资宇宙才会有相对确凿切。正因为如斯，柏拉图的形而上学体系被称为唯心想法形而上学。

Platonic love, in its modern popular sense, is a non-sexual, affectionate relationship. A simple example of Platonic relationships is a deep, non-sexual friendship, not subject to gender pairings and including close relatives.

At the same time, this interpretation is a misunderstanding of the nature of the Platonic ideal of love which, from its origin, was that of a chaste

20 stylist n. 策画师；文学学家

在当代流行的不雅念中, 柏拉图式的爱情是一种无性的、亲密的辩论。柏拉图式爱情的一个最浅易例子即是一种心理深厚而莫得性爱的友谊，既不受两性交配的主宰，也不包括亲情辩论。

同期，这种解释是对柏拉图式的空想爱情的实质的一种误会。究其发祥，柏拉图式的爱情是一种既朴素而又热烈的爱情。这是一种被认为超越了性的爱情。Aristotle 亚里士多德

Aristotle is a towering figure in ancient Greek philosophy, making contributions to logic, metaphysics

Of all his numerous works, the following are the still important to scholars and students: Ethics (an introduction to moral philosophy), Politics, Poetics (a treatise on literary theory), and Rhetoric

亚里士多德是古希腊形而上学鸿沟的一位巨东说念主，他的孝敬波及多个鸿沟，包括逻辑学、玄学、数学、物理学、生物学、植物学、伦理学、政事学、农业、医学、跳舞及戏剧，等等。他是柏拉图的学生，却比他的竭诚们更重视

Chapter I

Other men live to eat, while I eat to live. 别东说念主为食而生涯，我为生涯而食。

The unexa-mined life is not worth living. 晕头转向的生活不值得过。

训导，更是由于反对柏拉图的表面得以申明远扬。

在他丰富的作品中，以下几部于今还对学者和学生们有着要紧影响：《伦理学》（说念德形而上学初学）《政事学》《诗学》（文学表面专著）和《修辞学》（推断如何劝服听众的艺术）。这些著述大多是基于亚里士多德学生的札记整理而成，有些仅仅一些片断。

Aristotle differed from his teacher in many ways.

First of all, he emphasized direct observation of nature and insisted that theory should follow fact. This is different from Plato's dependence on subjective thinking. Second, the believed that "form" (ideas) and matter together made up concrete individual realities. This is also different from Plato who thought that ideas had a higher reality than the physical world. As to what should be man's aim in life, Aristotle's answer was: happiness, not happiness in the vulgar sense, but something that could be only achieved by leading a life of reason, goodness, and contemplation.

亚里士多德在许多问题上与他的竭诚柏拉图持不同不雅点。

开头，他强调要成功不雅察当然，宝石表面应该以事实为依据。这点与柏拉图相背，柏拉图认为应以主不雅念念想为准。其次，他认为“相貌”（理念）和物资全部组成了具体的、单个可见的事物，而柏拉图认为理念比施行愈加确切。对于东说念主生活的辩论是什么，亚里士多德的回应是：幸福，但不是那种低俗说念理上的幸福，而是一种通过感性、廉正和富于念念索的生活而得到的幸福。

2. Ancient Rome 古罗马

●Julius Caesar 凯撒之死

Julius Caesar was a Roman military and political leader. He played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. After assuming control of government, he began extensive reforms

of Roman society and government. He centralized

Following is what Shakespeare wrote in his play Julius Caesar as how he was assassinated:

"After Julius Caesar's victory over sons of Pompey,he reenters Rome for a celebration, who ignores warnings from a Soothsayer. His friend Brutus and political foe Cassius settle a conspiracy

Chapter I

To do injus-tice is more disgraceful than to suffer it.

制造不公比承受不公更可耻。

Better be unborn than untaught, for ignorance is the root of misfortune.

与其生而不受解释，不如不生，因为无知是疾苦的根源。

Every man is a poet when he is in love.

每个恋爱中的东说念主齐是诗东说念主。

by the aristocrats34, he still goes to the Senate, where he is killed soon. On the funeral Antony, Caesar's closest friend speaks and stirs the audience to revenge

In 42 B.C. two years after his assassination, the Senate officially sanctied Caesar as one of the Roman deities.

尤里乌斯·凯撒是罗马共和国末期了得的军事统帅、政事家。在罗马共和国向罗马帝国的回荡历程中，他起着要紧的作用。在弹压招架，掌抓政权后，他在罗马社会和政府中进行了大范围的纠正。他安然加强中央集权，临了文告我方为毕生独裁官。以马可斯·布鲁图斯为首的一帮议员，在公元前44年3月15日贪心刺杀了凯撒，以图复原罗马共和国蓝本的顺序。可甩手却招致另一场罗马内战，临了凯撒的养子屋大维融合罗马，完结永恒独裁总揽。

莎士比亚在其剧作中是这么描画凯撒被刺的历程的：

“平叛庞培儿孙叛乱后，凯撒回到罗马参加仪式行径。他不听预言家的警告，孤身来到罗马议会大厅。蓝本，他的老一又友布鲁图斯和政敌卡斯卡仍是纠集了一帮叛徒，预谋在3月15日将其刺杀，夺取政权。在出事的前一个晚上，凯撒太太作念了一个恶梦，梦见他瓜葛，第二天就苦求他不要外出，但是，凯撒莫得听。他在元老院就座时，贪心者齐备向他围拢过来，很快就将其杀害。在其葬礼上，他最佳的一又友安东尼意气热潮，命令为凯撒改悔以德。那些贪心刺杀他的东说念主纷纷逃往意大利。临了，安东尼、屋大维联袂，与布鲁图斯和卡斯卡张开了一场激战，后者腐败自裁。罗马帝国得以看护。”

公元前42年，即凯撒被刺两年后，元老院厚爱将其列入众神行列，被尊为“神圣的尤利乌斯”。

●All Roads Leads to Rome 条条大路通罗马

After Julius Caesar's death, Octavius, his adopted son, took supreme power as emperor with the title of Augustus in the year 27

B.C. Two centuries later, the Roman Empire reached it greatest extent, encircling

The Roman roads were roads built by the Roman Empire, intended for quick transport of material from one location to another, for cattle, vehicles, or any similar trafc along the path. They were essential for the growth of the Roman Empire. Roman roads enabled the Romans to move armies and trade goods and to communicate news. The Roman road system spanned more than 400,000km of roads, including over 80,500km of paved roads. When Rome reached the height of its power, no fewer than 29 great military highways radiated from the city. Hills were cut through and deep ravines

372 great road links.

It is said that departing from anywhere in the Italian pensile or even any road in Europe, one can reach Rome eventually if he keeps on stepping ahead. That how come the old saying "every road leads to Rome."

凯撒身后，他的养子屋大维夺取了最高指导权，于公元前27年受封为奥古斯齐大帝。200年后，罗马帝国发展到焕发技术，领有环地中海地区的远大幅员，其势力北到苏格兰，东到阿好意思尼亚和好意思索不达米亚。

罗马帝国为了加强其总揽，修建了以罗马为中心，通向四面八方的大路，以便捷牲口等其他访佛交通用具运载各式物资。这些说念路的修建对于罗马帝国的发展有着至关要紧的作用，因为这些大路为罗马帝国的戎走运载、商品贸易及信息传达提供了很大的便捷。据史料纪录，罗马说念路系统越过40万公里，其中东说念主筑硬面公路80,500公里。在罗马发展的焕发技术，至少有29条军用公路从罗马城各个标的放射出去。山体被劈开，山谷则被填平。也曾一度，通盘罗马帝国被分为113个省份，由372条大路细密关联。

据说，那时从意大利半岛乃至欧洲的任何一条大路驱动旅行，只消不竭地走，最终齐能抵达罗马，其后就演变为“条条大路通罗马”这一说法。

3. The Rise of Christianity 基督教的兴起

●The Most Popular Book Bible《圣经》——宇宙华贵传最广的一册书

The Bible is a collection of religious writings comprised with two parts: the Old Testament

and Man.

《圣经》是一册宗教故事总集，包括《旧约》和《新约》 。前者论说的是天主和天主的法律，后者则以基督耶稣宣扬的准则为主要内容。"testament"在英语里是“条约”的说念理，因此《圣经》的说念理即是，本书所推断的齐是天主和东说念主类之间的商定。

The Old Testament 《旧约》

The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew,recording questions of how the world began, how life came to be and what is man. It comprises with four parts: the Pentateuch, the Historical Books, the Poetical Books and the Prophets.

Of all the 39 books, most important are the first five books, called Pentateuch. They are:

Genesis (origin of the Hebrew people, of the world and of man);

Exodus (Hebrews' ight from Egypt);

Leviticus (Primitive Laws);

Numbers (continuation of the ight from Egypt);

Deuteronomy (final words of Moses). Stories like Adam and Eve, Norah's Ark and Ten Commandments are recorded in these books.

The Historical Books record the history of the Hebrew people from their entry into Palestine around 1200 B.C till the fall of Palestine into hands of Assyrians and Chaldeans in 586B.C. In these books, you can nd stories about King Saul, King David and his son King Solomon.

The Poetical Books present the world's greatest truest poetry. The Prophets tells stories about some famous prophets or the spokesmen of God and what they

《旧约》领先是用希伯来语书写，描画了宇宙的发祥、人命及东说念主的出现。《旧约》由四部分组成：《摩西五经》《历汗青》《诗歌作品》和《先知书》。

《旧约》由39卷组成，其中最陈旧亦然最要紧的是头5卷，即《摩西五经》。它们是：

《创世纪》：希伯来东说念主、宇宙及东说念主类的发祥；

《出埃及记》：希伯来东说念主逃出埃及的历史；

《利未记》：早期法律条例的汇编；

《民数记》：逃出埃及续篇；

《申命记》：摩西对其东说念主民说的临了的话。亚当和夏娃的故事、诺亚方舟及摩西十诫等故事均出自这里。

《历汗青》记录了希伯来民族语公元前1200前足下参预巴勒斯坦，到公元前586年巴勒斯坦落入阿西里安东说念主和切尔登东说念主手中的历史。扫罗王、大卫王及所罗门王的故事便记录在这些书中。

《诗歌作品》展现了一些宇宙上最伟大、最地说念的诗篇。《先知书》描画的是犹太东说念主历史上比较有名先知（神的代言东说念主）的故事，以及他们作念出的预言。

The New Testament 《新约》

There is no denying that Christianity had its stem

The New Testament is said to be written by Matthew,Mark, Luke and John, four of Jesus' early followers. They tell of the birth, preaching, death and resurrection

The Bible is the most popular book in the history of mankind. It is the essential of western civilization, having shaped the western civilization more decisively than anything else ever written. Therefore, it is much more than a religious book. Reecting most extensively western ideas and culture, the Bible is actually an encyclopedia

By the year 1963, the whole of Bible had been translated into 228 languages and parts into 974 languages—a total of 1202, including tribal tongues.

不必置疑，基督教根植于希伯来教。然则，自从1世纪足下基督教诞生的时候驱动，就修复了它完全不同于其他宗教的信仰，这套信仰竖立于两个热烈的信念上。第一，耶稣基督是神的女儿，神派他来到东说念主间，让他过无为东说念主的生活，像凡东说念主同样吃苦，并最终为东说念主类的得救而死；其次，神将神性给了他唯独的女儿，是以信奉他的东说念主不会沦一火，而会得到长生。

据说，《新约》是由奴婢耶稣最早的四个徒弟马太、马可、路加和约翰所写。他们在文章中论说了耶稣的诞生、宣道、死亡和回生。

bear one's cross 背着十字架；隐忍灾荒

《圣经》在东说念主类文化历史中广为流传。它组成了西方雅致的中枢，比其他任何一册变成翰墨的书对西方雅致的作用齐要大。它仍是超出了宗教图书的范围，只消我们追思一下通盘西方雅致的念念想组成与不雅念，《圣经》真称得上是一部百科全书。总之，它是历史，是文学，是伟大头脑与念念想的记录。

到1963年，《圣经》全文仍是被翻译成了228种语言，而只遴荐其中部分篇章来翻译的语种数目则达到了974种——加起来为1202种语言，其中包括部落语言。

●From Sunday to Saturday 从日曜日到星期六

Sunday is the moral of the day of the Sun (solar day), the resurrection of Jesus, therefore, this day in the West was regarded as the most sacred

Monday is the moral of the day of the moon. Old English as the Monanday, that is, the day of the moon. Ancient Roman mythology, the god of the moon was Apollo's wife, so in a week, she left for the day.

Tuesday is the moral of Tiw's day or the day of Tiw (Mars), in memory of the Nordic mythology of God of War Tyr, with his name. The name Tyr in the Old English name is Tiw. Tiwesday means Tiw's day (on Mars). Tuesday is to use his name.

Wednesday is the moral of Woden's day (Mercury). Woden, also known as Odin, is the main god in charge of knowledge, culture, poetry, war, death. He was the father of Tyr, God of War. Wednesday is to use his name.

Thursday is the moral of Thor's day (Jupiter). Thor is in charge ofthunder and lightning. As he rides his goat chariot crossing in the sky, the wind becomes a lightning wind and the wheel becomes a rolling thunder.

Friday is the moral of Freo's day (Venus), or in Old English Frigeday. Frigg was a goddess in charge of marriage and family. She was Woden's wife, Thor's mother. Therefore, as Woden named Wednesday and Thor named Thursday, in order to soothe

Saturday is the moral of the day of Saturn, the god in charge of agriculture. It is the last day of the week.

看成一星期的第一天，星期天在古时候是献给太阳的，古犹太教的安息日定在星期六，基督教之是以改日曜日为安息日，是因为耶稣在这一天回生。约从公元4世纪起，罗马天主教育就将日曜日定为沐日，在这一天辞让任何东说念主使命，教徒齐得住手一切文娱行径，上教堂去作念礼拜。跟着时辰的移动星期天看成法定沐日仍是被宇宙列国平素援用。

在古罗马神话中，月亮为太阳之妻。因此，在一星期中也必须有一天是献给月亮的。他们把一星期的第二天叫作念Lunaedies，盎格鲁—撒克逊东说念主借译了该词，作Monandaeg，意即Moonday，当代英语作Monday。

在北欧神话中，有一个战神名叫Tyr，异常于罗马神话里的Mars。当狼精Fenrir在东说念主间违规时，Tyr自告悉力前去擒拿，在捆绑狼精时，一只手被咬掉了。Tyr在古英语中拼作Tiw，从Tiw产生了古英语词Tiwesdaeg，意即thedayofTiw，这即是当代英语Tuesday的原始相貌。

星期三(Wednesday)在古英语华夏作Modnesdaeg，

Chapter I

意为Woden'sday。Woden是日尔曼战神Tyr之父，异常于罗马神话里的交易神Mercury。古罗马东说念主以Mercury来定名星期三，把星期三叫作念Mercuriidies。其实，英语Wodnesdaeg即是译自该拉丁词，仅仅在借译时Mercury换成了Woden汉典。

在北欧神话中，最有权势、最勇敢的神要数雷神Thor。他异常于罗马神话里的主神Jupiter／Jove。当Thor驾着公山羊拉的战车飞驰而过期，太空顿时雷轰电闪。Thursday恰是以Thor定名的，它在古英语华夏作Thuresdaeg，意即thedayofThor。

在古英语中，星期五（Friday）原作Frigedaeg，意即thedayofFrigg／Freya。Frigg／Freya乃北欧爱情女神，亦即战神Woden之妻，由于千里溺于糜费的生活而遭丈夫摒弃。该女神异常于罗马神话中的Venus，罗马东说念主以Venus来定名星期五，称之为DiesVeneris，意即thedayofVenus，而英语借译该词时把Venus换成Frigg，作Frigedaeg。

Wednesday和Thursday是分辨以Frigg／Freya之夫Woden过甚子Thor定名的，因此看成一种安危英语就把星期五献给了她。北欧东说念主将星期五视为一周中最祯祥的一天，是成婚日。对基督教徒来说，星期五则是不祯祥的一天，因为耶稣恰是在这一天被钉死在十字架上的。

Saturn乃罗马神话中的农神或播撒之神。每年12月17日，古罗马东说念主齐要举行农神节（Saturnalia），苟且狂欢，他们还以农神的大名来定名一星期中临了一天，亦即thedayofSaturn，英语Saturday即由此借译而来。

●Christmas 圣诞节

Originally, Christmas was a Christian holiday aiming to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ more than 2,000 years ago. But nowadays Christmas is also a social and family holiday. It is a festival of goodwill, a time for family, friends, food, and gift-giving.

历史上的圣诞节属于基督教节日，辩论在于挂念耶稣基督的诞生。然则，在当代社会，圣诞节仍是成为一个社会性节日和家庭节日，是一个抒发善意的节日，是一个家东说念主、一又友汇集的节日，亦然享受好意思食与礼物的

圣诞老东说念主

节日。

Father Christmas 圣诞老东说念主

It is said that in the year of 300

A.D., there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them. Today,Father Christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. They think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe. On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year,Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to ll their stockings. So when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to nd them full of presents. Of course, it's really their parents who ll the stockings.

据说在公元前300年，有一个温顺的老东说念主名叫圣尼古拉。他常常会匡助艰难的东说念主们，况且时常会直立物给这些东说念主。今天，圣诞老东说念主是一个捏造的形象，但是险些统共的小孩齐信服他的存在。孩子们认为他是一个快意的老东说念主，长着又长又白的胡子，衣着红袍。每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从朔方面来，由烟囱参预各家，把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。是以，西方东说念主过圣诞节时，父母把给孩子的圣诞礼物装在袜子里，圣诞夜时挂在孩子们的床头上。第二天，孩子们醒来后的第一件事即是在床头上寻找圣诞老东说念主送来的礼物。固然，这些礼物齐是他们的父母放到袜子内部的。

Christmas Tree 圣诞树

Most people think that the tradition of lighting and decorating a r tree at Christmas time originated in Germany.

It was the German reformer, Martin Luther, who is said to have introduced the Christmas tree as we know it, with its mass of beautiful shining lights, inspired by the observation of stars shining through the fir trees.

Gradually the practice of decorating a tree with ornaments

一般认为，在圣诞节褪色并点亮杉树这一传统发祥于德国。

据说，纠正家马丁·路德在看到杉树中透出的点点星光，于是灵机一动，也在圣诞树上挂上许多漂亮的灯饰，于是就产生了我们当今所熟悉的灯光闪闪的圣诞树。

逐步地，东说念主们驱动用一些小饰物褪色圣诞树，并挂上点亮的烛炬。这种作念法渐渐地被传到北欧，以致斯堪的维亚地区。据说，亨利塔公爵于1816年在维也纳树立了奥地利第一棵圣诞树。1840年梅克伦堡的海伦公主又把圣诞树传入法国巴黎。在英国，东说念主们常常会在圣诞节褪色一个常青花环，成为“接吻树”。1841年的时候，维多利亚女王的丈夫阿尔伯特亲王在他们的温莎城堡用烛炬、金银箔和其他饰物褪色了一棵树，看成圣诞仪式的一部分。从那以后，圣诞树很快就成为英国的传统之一。

Thinking of you and wishing you a beautiful Christmas season.

瑰丽的圣诞节之际，谨致我的念念念与祝愿。

Switzerland and Germany. It contains red wine, fruit, cloves

在西方，只如果圣诞节享用的家宴齐称为圣诞大餐。不外，在英国，有几说念传统食物是圣诞节所不成零落的，比如火鸡、鹅、甘蓝、烤土豆、酸果曼沙司、三文鱼、布丁等。

圣诞大餐吃火鸡的习俗始于好意思国，直到1620年，好意思洲成为欧洲列国从属国以后才传入欧洲。塞巴斯蒂安·卡伯特从好意思洲“新宇宙”回到欧洲时，把吃火鸡这一习俗也带记忆。火鸡是好意思洲特产，在欧洲东说念主到好意思洲之前，仍是被印地安东说念主驯化。火鸡的名字在英文中叫“土耳其”，是因为欧洲东说念主合计它的样子像土耳其的服装：身黑头红。在此之前，英国东说念主的圣诞大餐是烤鹅、烤孔雀或是烤猪。

圣诞大餐固然也少不了香槟酒，据统计每年圣诞节喝掉的香槟酒达上百万瓶。特制的圣诞啤酒别有一番风韵。这些啤酒常常呈玄色、味甜、酒香浓烈，出奇符合在清冷的天气和公司派对中饮用。

在奥地利、瑞士、德国，东说念主们可爱在圣诞节喝着加香料的红葡萄酒。在红酒中加上生果、丁香和肉桂，然后加热即可。圣诞节前后，寻常巷陌到处齐不错买到这么的酒。滑雪季节里，欧洲各滑雪场也齐有出售。
