The Boy with Wings
《长翅膀的男孩》
Darius and Icarus. Go to the maze said Minos, king of ancient Crete. You and your son will live there forever. Go now! The king sat on his throne, his face full of rage. In front of him stood Darius, the brilliant inventor.
大流士和伊卡洛斯。 “去迷宫待着。”古克里特岛的国王米诺斯说道。 你和你的儿子要永远住在那里。现在就去! 国王坐在宝座上,满脸怒容。 他面前站着才华横溢的发明家大流士。
I beg you, your majesty," said Dalius. Spare my son. I was the one who helped your enemy, the hero Theseus. My son knew nothing about it. You'll both be punished, cried the king. Dalius, you are a clever man, and you have served me well in the past. Now you've let me down and angered me. You must face up to what you've done. Go now and never come back.
“求求您,陛下。”大流士说。 饶过我的儿子吧。 帮助您的敌人、英雄忒修斯的人是我。 我儿子对此一无所知。 “你们两个都要受罚!”国王怒吼道。 大流士,你很聪明,过去也为我立下不少功劳。 但现在你让我失望了,还惹怒了我。 你必须为自己的所作所为承担后果。 现在就走,永远别回来。
Darius was afraid of the king and he didn't dare go against his wishes. He and his son Icarus packed a bad sadly and the soldiers marched them to the huge maze. They were pushed inside.
大流士很怕国王,不敢违背他的命令。 他和儿子伊卡洛斯伤心地收拾好包袱,士兵们把他们押送到了那座巨大的迷宫。 他们被推了进去。
The maze had been built by Darius himself on the orders of the king. Inside the maze was a Minotaur, a monster who was half man, half bull. The maze was called the Labyrinth and nobody who'd ever entered it had found a way out, except for one man.
这座迷宫是大流士奉国王的命令亲手建造的。 迷宫里住着弥诺陶洛斯,一个半人半牛的怪物。 这座迷宫名叫拉比林特斯,凡是进去的人从来找不到出口,只有一个人是例外。
A Greek hero called Theseus had killed the Minotaur and had escaped from the labyrinth using a ball of string.
希腊英雄忒修斯杀死了弥诺陶洛斯,靠一团线球逃出了迷宫。
