Phaeton:(Gr. myth.) ,son ofApollo. the sun-god,who,when he tried to drive his father’s golden chariot acrossthe sky. was thrown from it andkilled with a thunderbolt byZeus. Hence a symbol of over-reaching pride. (希臘神話)法厄同,太陽神阿波羅的兒子,曾駕其父的金馬車在天上馳騁,失去控制,被宙斯用雷擊死。因此用作狂妄的象征。 △3H.VI.1.4.33:“Now Phaeton hath tumbledfrom his car /And made an evening at the noontideprick.”現(xiàn)在法厄同翻了車.把中午時分變成了黃昏。 △3H.VI2.6.11: “O Phoebus! hadst thou never givenconsent /That Phaёton should check thy fierysteeds,/ Thy burning car never had scorched theearth!”啊,太陽神! 福玻斯! 倘若你當初不曾準許你兒子法厄同駕馭你那些烈性駿馬,你那熊熊燃燒的車子也就不至于把大地燒成焦土。 △Gent.3.1.153: “Why,Phaeton (for thouart Merops’ son),/ Wilt thou aspire to guide theheavenly car,”法厄同(因為你不過是密洛普斯的兒子),你竟敢想駕駛天車嗎? △Rom.3.2.2:“Such a waggoner /AsPhaeton would whip you to the west,”像法厄同那樣的一個駕車人會鞭策你們到西方去。
