赫拉克勒斯，超级英雄。 文字作者：黛安·雷德蒙 绘者：克里斯·莫尔德

SCENE 1. THE ROYAL PALACE Hercules was the son of Zeus, the greatest of the Greek gods. He wanted to prove he was the strongest and bravest man in the world. Your Majesty, Hercules wishes to speak to you. Thumping his chest. I'm not scared of anything. Give me the hardest labor in the world to do. The tougher the better. Can you kill a lion? In a blink.

第一幕 王宫 赫拉克勒斯是希腊众神之首宙斯的儿子，他想证明自己是 全世界最强大、最勇敢的人。 陛下，赫拉克勒斯求见。 （拍着胸脯） 我什么都不怕！把世上最难的任务交给我吧，越难越好！ 你能杀死一头狮子吗？ 眨眼功夫就能搞定。

Brave words, Hercules. Go and kill the lion of Nemea. No worries. And bring me back its skin. Hercules picked up his sword and his net and swaggered off to do his first labour.

说得好勇敢呀，赫拉克勒斯。去杀掉尼米亚的猛狮吧。 放心吧。 再把它的皮带回来给我。 赫拉克勒斯拿起剑和网，大摇大摆地出发去完成他的第一个任务了。

Scene 2. The Lion's Cave. Yelling. Cooey! Is anybody home? Don't go in there! The lion's killed four men and a donkey this week! Flexing his muscles. Well, he won't kill me. I'm the strongest and bravest man in the world. From inside the cave. Roar. No! I'm not staying here! He runs off. Roar. The lion charges at Hercules.

第二幕 狮子洞 （大喊） 喂！有人在家吗？ 别进去呀！这头狮子这周已经咬死四个男人还有一头驴了！ （秀着肌肉） 哦，它可杀不了我。我可是全世界最强大、最勇敢的人。 （从洞里传来） 吼—— 不行！我才不要待在这儿！ 他撒腿就跑了。 吼—— 狮子朝着赫拉克勒斯冲了过来。

Hercules stabbed the lion with his sword, but the sword broke in half. The lion's skin is so thick my sword can't cut through it! The lion charged again. The lion takes a swipe at Hercules' head. You don't frighten me Goldilocks. Here, try this net for size. Hercules jumps up and throws a net over the lion.

赫拉克勒斯拿剑刺狮子，可剑却断成了两半。 这狮子的皮也太厚了，我的剑都刺不穿！ 狮子又冲了过来。 狮子一巴掌朝赫拉克勒斯的头拍了过来。 你可吓不倒我，小毛狮。来，试试这张网够不够大。 赫拉克勒斯跳起来，把网撒出去罩住了狮子。

Tangled up in Hercules' net, the lion struggled and roared louder than ever. And now to finish you off! Hercules squeezed the lion's throat and strangled him. Then he pulled off one of the lion's sharp claws. Just the thing to cut off its skin!

狮子被赫拉克勒斯的网缠住，拼命挣扎，吼得比刚才更响了。 现在就送你上路！ 赫拉克勒斯掐住狮子的喉咙，把它勒死了。 然后他拔下狮子的一根尖爪子。 用这个剥它的皮正好！
