3 Circe and her spells

Chapter 3 Circe and her spells The Greeks sailed away laughing. But they had made a new enemy- the Cyclops' father, Poseidon*.

第3章喀耳刻和她的咒语希腊人笑着乘船离开了。 但是他们有了一个新的敌人——独眼巨人的父亲波塞冬。

Poseidon was god of the sea. He hated Ulysses and his crew for hurting one of his sons. "They won't be laughing for very long," he snarled.

波塞冬是海神。 他恨尤利西斯和他的船员伤害了他的一个儿子。 “他们不会笑太久的。”他咆哮道。

Soon, Ulysses' ship had landed on another island. Ulysses divided his men into two groups. One man, Eurylochus*, would lead half the crew in search of food and water. Ulysses would stay with the rest of the men to guard his stay.

不久，尤利西斯的船就在另一个岛上登陆了。 尤利西斯把他的人分成两组。 一个叫尤里洛克斯的人会带领一半的船员去寻找食物和水。 尤利西斯会和其他人一起留下来守卫他的住所。

Eurylochus and his men walked for hours. They couldn't find anything to eat or drink and they didn't meet a soul. Finally, one of the men saw a wisp of smoke rising above the trees. The smoke led them to a palace and a beautiful woman.

欧律洛克斯和他的手下走了几个小时。 他们找不到吃的喝的，也没有遇见一个人。 最后，其中一个人看到一缕烟从树上升起。 烟雾把他们带到一座宫殿和一位美丽的女人面前。

The woman led them into a grand hall. A feast was laid out on the table. "You are my guests," said the woman. "Please, eat!" Between mouthfuls, one man asked her name. "I am Circe*," she said, and filled the men's cups with wine.

那个女人把他们领进了一个大厅。 桌上摆上了一桌大餐。 “你们是我的客人，”女人说。 “请吃!”在吃东西的间隙，一个男人问她的名字。 “我是喀耳刻，”她说着，给两个男人的杯子斟满了酒。

The Greeks ate, drank and sang a lot. They didn't notice that Eurylochus wasn't there. He didn't trust Circe so he was spying from outside. What happened next made him gasp in horror. One wave of Circe's magic wand turned the men into pigs!

希腊人吃、喝、唱得很多。 他们没有注意到欧律洛克斯不在那里。 他不信任喀耳刻，所以他在外面监视。 接下来发生的事使他惊恐地倒吸一口冷气。 喀耳刻的魔杖一挥就把这些人变成了猪！
