　　Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present.So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus,brother of Prometheus.The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her,and Epimetheus happily received her into his house.He had quite forgotten Pometheus' to accept anything from Zeus.The couple lived a happy life for some time.Then trouble came on to the human world.

　　When he was busy with teaching men the art of living,Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus.He had warned his brother not to open the lid.Pandora was a curious woman.She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask.One day,when Epimetheus was out,she lifted the lid and out itcame unrest and war,Plague and sickness,theft and violence, grief sorrow,and all the other evils.The human world was hence to experience these evils.Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out.So men always have hope within their hearts.

　　偷竊天火之後,宙斯對人類的敵意與日俱增。一天,他令兒子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像,並請眾神贈予她不同的禮物。其中,雅典娜飾之以華麗的衣裳,赫耳墨斯贈之以說謊的能力。世上的第一個女人是位迷人女郎,因為她從每位神靈那裡得到了一樣對男人有害的禮物,因此宙斯稱她為潘多拉***pander:意為煽動***。

　　宙斯決定把她作為禮物送給世間的男子。於是信使赫耳墨斯將她帶給普羅米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容絕美,見者無不為之傾心。厄庇墨透斯興高采烈地把她迎入屋內。普羅米修斯警告過他不得接受宙斯的任何饋贈,而他已將之忘於腦後。這一對夫妻有過一段幸福的生活,但不久災難卻降臨人間。

　　當普羅米修斯忙於教授人們生存之道的時候,他把一個桶託付給厄庇墨透斯。他警告過他的弟弟不要開啟桶蓋。潘多拉好奇心強。她的丈夫不允許她看桶中之物,這使她感到十分懊惱。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出門在外,她開啟桶蓋,從桶裡跑出的是不和與戰爭,瘟疫與疾病,偷竊與暴力,悲哀與憂慮,以及其他一些人類從此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被關在桶口,永遠飛不出來,因此人們常常把希望藏於心中。

　　英語小故事精選：視石為寶

　　In ancient times, a man of the State of Song picked up a stone in Linzi. He examined it over and over and regarded it as a treasure. He quickly took it home, wrapped it up in dozens of silk layers, then put it in a leather box. But he still felt uneasy, so he covered the box with dozens of boxes.

　　When a man who could identify treasures heard of this, he went at once to this man and asked to have a look at the treasure.

　　To be prudent1, this man of Song took a bath, burned incense2, cleansed3 his mind, calmed his mood, and went in for self- cultivation4 for seven days. Then be put on ceremonial robes, respectfully took out the box, and carefully took the stone out of the box.

　　When the man who knew about treasures saw it, he nearly burst into laughter, but quickly covered his mouth with his hand. He whispered close to the other's ear: "This is a piece of stone, as worthless as a tile."

　　The man of Song thought the man who knew about treasures was envious5 of him and trying to cheat him. Much displeased6, he said: "Merchants always say others' wares7 are worthless, and doctors always say patients' illnesses are very serious, so that they themselves can make more money. I will not be fooled!"

　　Thereafter, he treasured this stone even more, and kept it in a very safe place.

　　古代，宋國有個人在臨淄拾到了一塊石頭。他左看右看，認為這是一件寶貝，急忙拿回家去，用絲絹包了起來。包了一層又一層，一連包了幾十層，才把它放進皮匣子。但是，他還不放心，在匣子外面又套上匣子，一連套了幾十只。

　　有個識寶的人，一聽到這個訊息，就馬上到他那裡，請求看一看這件寶貝。

　　那個宋國人，為了慎重起見，薰香沐浴，清心靜氣，修養了七天，然後穿上大禮服，恭恭敬敬地請出匣子，小心翼翼地把那塊石頭從匣子裡取出來。

　　那個識寶的人，差一點兒笑出聲來，連忙用手捂住了嘴巴，貼近他的耳朵，輕輕地告訴他說:“這是一塊石頭，跟瓦片一樣一錢不值!”

　　宋國人認為這個識寶的人嫉妒他，在騙他，心裡很不高興，他說：“做生意的人，總是把別人的貨色說得一錢不值;做醫生的人，總是把病人的毛病說得非常危險。這都是為了自己可以多賺幾個錢。我可不上這個當!”

　　從此，他反而更加珍愛這塊石頭，把它保管得嚴嚴實實。
