Demeter and Persephone

得墨忒耳与珀耳塞福涅

CHAPTER 1 Lovely Persephone The goddess Persephone was a beautiful and beloved girl. Her happy laughter rang across Olympus, the home of the ancient gods of Greece. Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of the harvest. Demeter loved her daughter and kept her nearby at all times. Mother and daughter were never apart.

第1章 可爱的珀耳塞福涅 女神珀耳塞福涅是个美丽又惹人喜爱的女孩。 她欢快的笑声回荡在奥林匹斯山一-古希腊众神的家园。珀耳塞福涅是丰收女神得墨忒耳的女儿。得墨忒耳深爱着自己的女儿，时刻都把她留在身边。母女俩从不分离。

When Demeter sat on her throne, her daughter sat with her. When she went down to Earth to tend her fields, Persephone went too. She danced across the meadows. " I love making flowers grow, ” Persephone sang, and they sprang up wherever she walked. Together, mother and daughter kept the earth green and growing. Farmers planted and reaped healthy crops. Tall trees grew, bright flowers bloomed, and juicy fruit ripened.

当得墨忒耳坐在她的宝座上时，她的女儿就坐在她身旁。当她下凡去照料自己的田地时，珀耳塞福涅也会一同前往。她在草地上翩翩起舞。“我喜欢让花儿生长，“珀耳塞福涅唱道，而花儿就在她走过的地方纷纷绽放。 母女俩齐心协力，让大地保持绿意盎然、生机蓬勃。农民们种植并收获健康的庄稼。高大的树木茁壮成长，鲜艳的花朵竞相绽放，多汁的水果成熟落地。

But alas, another loved Persephone. It was the god of the dead, Hades. “ I want this beautiful girl to be my queen, " he said. And so one day, Hades drove his chariot up through the earth. The ground trembled and split as the god appeared. Hades grabbed Persephone, who had wandered away from her mother, and pulled her into the chariot.

但可惜的是，还有另一位神也爱上了珀耳塞福涅。他就是冥王哈迪斯。“我希望这个美丽的女孩成为我的王后，”他说。 于是有一天，哈迪斯驾驭着他的战车从地下驶出。随着这位神的出现，大地颤抖并裂开。哈迪斯抓住了他那正远离母亲四处闲逛的珀耳塞福涅，然后将她拽上了战车。

“ No! ” the frightened girl cried out, but it was too late. Hades turned his fierce horses, the ground closed up again, and Persephone was gone. All that remained in the meadow was a little boy crying for his lost pigs. They had tumbled into the open earth when Hades arrived, and now they were gone as well.

“不!“惊恐的女孩大声呼喊着，但一切都已经太晚了。哈迪斯掉转他那凶猛的骏马，大地重新合拢，珀耳塞福涅就这样消失了。草地上只剩下一个小男孩在为他丢失的猪崽哭泣。原来，当哈迪斯降临的时候，那些猪崽掉进了开裂的大地之中，如今也一并消失不见了。
