有关古希腊神话的短文（英）急

Answer 1

Pandora's box

?When the Pandora's box is opened, many evils fly out causing sorrow and mischief for mankind. The only thing that's left in the box is "hope". It is the only good thing that the casket has held among the many evils, and it remains to the day mankind’s sole comfort in misfortune.

No mater who bad the situation is, hope should not be vanished. In fact, the only thing that will accompany you during those pain and hardships is hope. It will not leave you unless you decide to let it go. “Faith”, the only element that motivates mankind from inside. Many great saints, such as Galileo, Copernicus, and so on, sacrificed all their lives following their faith. Comparing to?them, we are the lucky ones.

Don’t let hope vanished. It will keep you comfort in miserable situations; it will guide you through dark path; and it will illuminate your future; and it will not abandon you in any situation.

Legend of Pandora:

The gods presented her with a box into which each had put something harmful, and forbade her ever to open it. Then they sent her to Epimetheus, who took her gladly although Prometheus had warned him never to accept anything from Zeus. He took her, and afterward when that dangerous thing, a woman, was his, he understood how good his brother's advice had been. For Pandora, like all women, was possessed of a lively curiosity. She had to know what was in the box. One day she lifted the lid -and out flew plagues innumerable, sorrow and mischief for mankind. In terror Pandora clapped the lid down, but too late. One good thing, however, was there. -Hope.
