古希臘神話中阿瑞塞莎的雙語故事範例

Arethusa was once a fairy maiden huntress．She carriedbow and arrows for Artemis in her hunting．She was sodevoted to her work that she cared for neither admirationnor love．One sunny summer day，she felt hot and found a coolstream quite attractive．She jumped into the delightful streamand happily started swimming．Presently she heard a bubbling in the stream and was surprised to find it was the thunderingvoice of the rivergod Alpheus．The maiden made for the shore and，fully naked，started running away．Taking a human form，the river-god followed closely in pursuit ．Onward they spedover hill and valley，across dark heights and over broad plains，until the waters of the western sea lay stretched out right before them ．Helplessly the exhausted Arethusa cried to her patronessfor help．Artemis instantly cast a cloud over her body，but the pigheaded Alpheus was not to be tricked．Then a cold sweatbroke from the maiden's arms and legs．The drops of water fellfrom all over her body．She had been turned into a spring！Alpheus recognized her new form and presently took his formershape to join with Arethusa and enjoy her company．Artemisthen broke the ground and Arethusa sank down and flowed all the way through the under world from Southern Greece to Sicily ．She rose up again at Syracuse，only to find that therivergod had endured the darkness of the lower world andturned up as a stream as well．Mixing his waves with hers，hegained her love in the end．

阿瑞塞莎是位迷人的仙女獵人。每逢阿耳特彌斯打獵時，她負責攜帶弓箭。她對工作專心致志，既不考慮讚美也不顧及愛情。一個炎熱的夏日，她感到很熱，便找到一條涼爽的溪流，深感愜意。她跳入令人愉快的溪水中，興致勃勃地暢遊。不一會兒，聽到水泡聲，她大吃一驚地發現：那是河神（阿耳法斯）發出的悶雷聲。仙女向岸邊游去，赤身裸體地跑開了。河神便裝成凡人的樣子在後緊緊地追趕着。他們一直向前飛奔，越過小山，跨過峽谷，翻越大山，掠過廣闊的平原，直到西海的水域展現在他們的'眼前。絕望中精疲力竭的阿瑞塞莎哭叫着向她的保護神求救。阿耳特彌斯迅速將一層雲霧披在仙女的身上。但頑固不化的阿耳法斯並未上當受騙。接着一股冷汗從仙女的肢體上溢出，並且渾身上下淌着水珠，她被變成一眼泉水了。河神認出了泉水就是仙女，他自已馬上也變回了原來的模樣，以便與仙女同流，享受她的陪伴。阿耳特彌斯只好劈開地面，仙女阿瑞塞莎便一直沉陷下去，穿過陰間，從希臘漂流到西西里島。最後在錫拉庫扎露面，結果發現河神忍受了陰間的黑暗，也變成了一條溪流出現在她面前。他們交匯在一起，他終於得到了她的愛。
