“自恋”背后的故事

他很骄傲，因为他鄙视那些爱他的人。复仇女神注意到了这种行为，并将纳西索斯吸引到一个水池里，在那里他看到了自己在水中的倒影并爱上了它，却没有意识到这只是一幅图像。纳西索斯无法离开他倒影的美丽，失去了他活着的意志。他凝视着自己的倒影，直到死。

Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance or public perception.

水仙是“自恋”一词的由来，是对自己的执着和对自己的外表或公众的感知。

Echo (mythology)

Echo（神话）

In Greek mythology, Echo was an Oread who resided on Mount Cithaeron.Zeus loved consorting with beautiful nymphs and often visited them on Earth.

在希腊神话中，Echo是住在西塞隆山上的山林女神。宙斯喜欢与美丽的仙女嬉戏，经常到人间拜访她们。

Eventually, Zeus's wife, Hera, became suspicious, and came from Mt. Olympus in an attempt to catch Zeus with the nymphs. Echo, by trying to protect Zeus (Zeus ordered her to protect him), endured Hera's wrath, and Hera made her only able to speak the last words spoken to her.

最终，宙斯的妻子赫拉起了疑心，她从奥林匹斯山赶来，试图用仙女来抓住宙斯。Echo试图保护宙斯（宙斯命令她保护他），忍受了赫拉的愤怒，赫拉使她只能说出对她说的最后一句话。

So when Echo met Narcissus and fell in love with him, she was unable to tell him how she felt and was forced to watch him as he fell in love with himself.

因此，当Echo遇见纳西索斯并爱上他时，她无法告诉他她的感受，并被迫看着他，因为他爱上了自己。

Adonis

阿多尼斯

Adonis was the mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite in Greek mythology. In Ovid's first-century AD telling of the myth, he was conceived after Aphrodite cursed his mother Myrrha to lust after her own father, King Cinyras of Cyprus.

Myrrha had sex with her father in complete darkness for nine nights, but he discovered her identity and chased her with a sword. The gods transformed her into a myrrh tree and, in the form of a tree, she gave birth to Adonis. Aphrodite found the infant and gave him to be raised by Persephone, the queen of the Underworld.

密拉和她父亲在黑暗中做爱了九个晚上，但是他发现了她的身份，用剑追赶她。众神把她变成没药树，她生下阿多尼斯。阿芙罗狄蒂找到了那个婴儿，把他交给冥界的王后珀尔塞福涅抚养。

Adonis grew into an astonishingly handsome young man, causing Aphrodite and Persephone to feud over him, with Zeus eventually decreeing that Adonis would spend one third of the year in the Underworld with Persephone, one third of the year with Aphrodite, and the final third of the year with whomever he chose. Adonis chose to spend his final third of the year with Aphrodite.

阿多尼斯成长为一个非常英俊的年轻人,引起阿芙罗狄蒂和珀西芬尼对他的不和，宙斯最终宣布阿多尼斯将与珀西芬尼在冥界度过三分之一的时间，与阿芙罗狄蒂度过三分之一的时间，今年的最后三分之一他选择了谁。阿多尼斯选择了和阿芙罗狄蒂一起度过他今年最后的三分之一。
