5 Challenge at Colchis

Chapter 5 Challenge at Colchis The next day, Jason went to find Aeetes*, the king of Colchis. "I've come for the Golden Fleece," he explained. "You can have it if you do the tasks I set for you," said Aeetes.

第五章在科尔基斯的挑战第二天，伊阿宋去找科尔基斯的国王埃厄忒斯。 “我是来拿金羊毛的。”他解释说。 “如果你完成我给你布置的任务，你就可以得到它。”

Aeetes didn't want Jason to have the fleece at all. He had a cunning plan. "First, you must tame two bulls and use them to dig up a field," he said. Then, you must sow the field with dragons' teeth. Jason's heart sank. That sounded impossible! But he nodded bravely.

埃厄忒斯根本不想让伊阿宋得到羊毛。 他有一个狡猾的计划。“首先，你必须驯服两头公牛，用它们来挖一块地，”他说。 然后，你必须用龙的牙齿播种田地。 杰森的心一沉。这听起来不可能！但他勇敢地点点头。

He had no idea how he would do it. He went back to his ship and talked to the Argonauts. None of them had any ideas, either.

他不知道该怎么做。 他回到船上，和阿尔戈英雄们交谈。 他们也没有任何想法。

But there was something that Jason didn't know. The king's daughter, Medea*, had seen him at the palace. She had fallen in love with him on the spot. Medea had heard her father set the impossible task. She was determined to help Jason.

但有些事杰森不知道。 国王的女儿美狄亚曾在宫殿里见过他。 她当场就爱上了他。 美狄亚听到父亲布置了这个不可能完成的任务。 她决心要帮助杰森。

At last, she had an idea. "Hecate*, the goddess of magic!" Medea thought. "She'll help me." In the dead of night, she drove her chariot through the woods to Hecate's temple. Quickly! There's no time to lose.

最后，她有了一个主意。“赫卡忒，魔法女神！”美狄亚的想法。 “她会帮我的。”在夜深人静的时候，她驾着战车穿过树林，来到赫喀特的神庙。 很快!不能再浪费时间了。

There, she knelt in front of the altar and pleaded with the goddess. Please tell me what to do, Hecate! Hecate told her to make a magic potion with herbs from the woods. "I'll do it now," said Medea.

在那里，她跪在祭坛前恳求女神。 请告诉我该怎么做，赫卡特！赫卡特让她用树林里的草药制作一种神奇的药水。 美狄亚说：“我现在就去。”
