Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta，but when they heard of her rules they knew it was hopeless.So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race.There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta’s rules，“Why are these men so foolish？” he thought.“Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess？” However, when he saw Atlanta come out of her house to run，Hippomenes changed his mind.“I will marry Atlanta—or die！” he said. The race started and although the men ran very fast，Atlanta ran faster.As Hippomenes watched he thought，“How can I run as fast as Atlanta？” He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help.She promised to help him and gave him three golden apples.She said，“Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past.When she stops to pick it up，you will be able to run past her and win.” Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King.He said，“I want to marry Atlanta.” The King was sad to see another man die，but Hippomenes said，“I will marry her—or die！” So the race began. 亚特兰大的故事 亚特兰大是一位希腊公主。她长得很美，跑得比希腊的任何男人都快。但是她却不被允许在奥运会上参加比赛为自己赢得荣誉(glory)。她因此非常生气，就跟她的父亲说，她不会嫁给任何跑不过她的男人。她的父亲说她必须结婚，于是亚特兰大就和她的父亲达成了一个协议(bargain讨价还价；讲条件)她对父亲说：“我有我的条件。如果有人说想娶我，我就跟他赛跑。如果他跑得不如我快，他就要被杀掉。任何人不得求饶。” 许多国王和王子想娶亚特兰大，但是当听到她规定的条件时，他们知道是没有希望的(hopeless)。因此许多人就闷闷不乐地回家了，但是也有一些人留下来赛跑。有位叫希波墨涅斯的人，听到亚特兰大的条件，大为吃惊。他想：“为什么这些人那么愚蠢(foolish)呢？为什么他们跑不过这个公主就让别人把自己杀掉呢？”后来，当希波墨涅斯看到亚特兰大从屋子里出来跑步时，他改变了主意。他说：“我要娶亚特兰大，否则就去死。” 比赛开始了，虽然那些男人跑得很快，可是亚特兰大跑得更快。希波墨涅斯想：“我怎样才能跑得像亚特兰大一样快呢？”他去向希腊爱情女神求助。女神答应帮助他，并且给了他三个金苹果。她说：“当亚特兰大跑过你的时候，你就把一个苹果扔在她前面。当她停下来去捡苹果时，你就可以继续向前跑而获胜。”希波墨涅斯拿着苹果去见国王。他说：“我要娶亚特兰大。”国王很忧伤，因为又要看到一个人去送死了，但是希波墨涅斯说：“我要娶她，要不，我就去死。”于是比赛开始了。 速效提能演练 本部分内容讲解结束 点此进入课件目录 按ESC键退出全屏播放 谢谢使用 优化方案系列丛书 重点难点探究 速效提能演练 Unit 2　The Olympic Games 预习多维感知 Section Ⅲ　Learning about Language Using Language 速效提能演练 Unit 1 重点难点探究 Section Ⅲ 预习多维感知 Ⅰ.Read the passage and tell the following statements true (T) or false (F)． 1．A
