希腊神话和英语单词.doc
9页大三的时候,我的笔译老师 Mr Wang,嘿嘿,他上课很有意思的,翻译课能上成那样确实很不错有一天上课,他跟我们介绍了很多希腊神话中的人物,然后通过这些人物的特性和文化特征讲了很多单词,可是——谁也没想到,下课前 5 分钟,他说:你们好像听这个觉得很有意思吧?我们一起点头然后他说:好吧,那你们把这些希腊人物全部背下来,下个礼拜上课的时候我来检查,要是有人背不出来······(他笑了笑,其实我们也知道就算背不出来他也不会怎么样的)但是毕竟是老师布置的任务,我们就必须做啊接下来的那一个礼拜,我们每一个人,手中闲着的时候都会拿着一大叠的纸(纸上就是要背的人物名单),当时很多人对希腊神话一点都不懂,还特地去买了希腊神话方面的书,说是要先看完书对人物有了了解在背呵呵······幸好我小的时候就特别喜欢看希腊神话、古罗马神话,还有什么圣经的故事之类的书,所有好多了第二个礼拜上课的时候,他竟然真的叫了几个同学,任意调几个让她们说,而且——不仅要说出人物在神话里的职位,还要就这个人物说一个神话里的故事当时吓死我们了,真是没想到现在我就把这份 Mr Wang 做的资料帖出来,有兴趣的朋友很可以,随便拉,想背的话也无防。
