Legends About the Moon有關(guān)月亮的神話

昕慧

自古以來，人們都愛觀看月亮，而中秋節(jié)賞月更是我們中華民族的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日習(xí)俗。在人類天文知識(shí)還很缺乏的時(shí)候，月亮上的陰影就成為了人們想象的來源，并為我們留下了很多神話故事。今天，小編老師就給大家講兩則有關(guān)嫦娥的故事。

嫦娥奔月

Long time ago，there were ten suns in the sky. They made the weather（天氣） too hot and too dry to live.

There was a powerful（強(qiáng)壯的） hero（英雄） named Hou Yi. He decided（決定） to save the world（拯救世界）. Then he climbed up to the top of the Kunlun Mountains（昆侖山） and shot down（射下） nine suns，and left the last one to brighten（照亮） the world.

Hou Yi was rewarded（獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)） an elixir（長(zhǎng)生不老藥） for his brave deed（英勇行為）. His wife，Change，was a beautiful and kind lady. One day，when Hou Yi was out，a bad man came to rob（搶劫） the elixir. So Change swallowed（吞下） it and then she began to fly away. Change stopped and lived on the moon from then on（從那以后）.

玉兔搗藥

Long time ago，there were three immortals（神仙）. They turned into（變成） three poor old men，and went to ask a fox，a monkey and a rabbit for food.

The fox and the monkey had food to give them，but the rabbit had none（沒有）. The rabbit said，“Take me as your food！” Then the rabbit jumped into a blazing fire（熊熊大火），made himself into food.

The immortals were deeply（深深地） touched（感動(dòng)） by the rabbit. They sent（送） the rabbit to the Moon Palace（月宮） to accompany（陪伴） Change. The rabbit helped Change to make（搗制） elixir for her husband，Hou Yi，hoping（希望） that some day Hou Yi could reunite（重聚） with Change on the moon.
