《奥德赛》讲述希腊英雄奥德修斯在特洛伊战争结束后,历经十年海上漂流才终于返乡:途中他智斗独眼巨人,躲过女妖塞壬的歌声,穿越怪兽斯库拉与漩涡卡律布狄斯之间的海峡,历尽艰险。
The Odyssey tells of the Greek hero Odysseus, who spent ten years wandering the seas after the Trojan War before finally returning home: outwitting the Cyclops, escaping the sirens deadly song, and sailing between the monster Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis.
"奥德赛"一词后来演变成英语中形容漫长艰险旅程的常用词。奥德修斯归乡靠的不是蛮力,而是过人的智谋与从不言弃的意志,这也是他与其他希腊英雄最大的不同之处。
The word "Odyssey" itself later entered English as a common term for any long and perilous journey. Odysseus made it home not through brute strength but through cunning and sheer will, what set him apart from other Greek heroes.

小喜看着画里波涛汹涌的大海,兴奋地说,"阿鸦,我们也去航海冒险吧!"
Magpie stared at the painting of the stormy sea, excited. "A-Ya, let us go on a sea voyage too!"
阿鸦翻了个白眼,"你晕船晕到连羽毛都要吐出来,还敢说航海?不过说到航海,倒是有个人的故事,值得听一听。"
A-Ya rolled his eyes. "You get so seasick you would throw up your own feathers, and you still want to sail? Speaking of sailing though, there is someone whose story is worth hearing."
小喜嘟着嘴,"哼,那你倒是快说呀,是谁的故事?"
Magpie pouted. "Hmph, then hurry up and tell me — whose story is it?"
阿鸦慢悠悠地说,"他叫奥德修斯,本来打完仗十天就能到家。"
A-Ya said unhurriedly, "His name was Odysseus. The war was over, and it should have taken him just ten days to get home."
小喜眨眨眼,"十天?那后来呢?"阿鸦叹了口气,"后来他惹恼了一位神,回家的路,变得很长很长。"
Magpie blinked. "Ten days? So what happened?" A-Ya sighed. "Then he angered a god, and the road home became very, very long."
小喜听得入迷,"后来呢?他回家了吗?"阿鸦点点头,"十年漂流,历经独眼巨人、塞壬女妖,还有更多凶险,他终于回到了故乡。他的妻子苦等了整整十年,白天织布、夜里偷偷拆掉,硬是拖住了那些想取代他的追求者。两人重逢的那一刻,十年的九死一生,好像都值得了。"
Magpie listened, spellbound, "And then? Did he make it home?" A-Ya nodded, "After ten years wandering through the Cyclops, the sirens, and far more dangers, he finally returned to his homeland. His wife had waited faithfully the whole ten years, weaving cloth by day and secretly unraveling it by night, stalling the suitors who wanted to take his place. When the two were finally reunited, all those years of narrowly escaping death seemed worth it."
有趣的是,塞壬女妖的歌声后来也变成了英语里的常用说法,塞壬之歌专指那些听起来诱人却暗藏危险的事物,比如一份看起来很美好、实则暗藏陷阱的承诺。奥德修斯用蜡封住手下耳朵、把自己绑在桅杆上的做法,也成了后世形容明知危险却忍不住想靠近的经典比喻。🌊🐦
Interestingly, the sirens song later became a common English phrase as well, a siren song refers to something that sounds tempting but hides real danger, like a promise that looks wonderful but conceals a trap. Odysseus method of plugging his men ears with wax while tying himself to the mast also became a classic metaphor for knowing something is dangerous yet being unable to resist getting closer.
