　　2017年三年级英语双语阅读：潘多拉的盒子

　　Pandora‘s Box

　　潘多拉的盒子

　　Zeus made the first woman and sent her to Prometheus and his brother， to punish them for their caring so much for men. She was made in heaven， every god contributing something to perfect her. Venus gave her beauty， Mercury persuasion， Apollo music， etc. All gods gave her gifts， silvery raiment and a broidered veil， a wonder to behold， and bright garlands of blooming flowers and a crown of gold. Because of what they gave her they called her Pandora， which means “the gift of all”.

　　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. It was the only good the casket had held among the many evils， and it remains to this day mankind‘s sole comfort in misfortune.
