The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea
Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, legendary ruler of primitive China, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea and her boat capsized. Just before she was buried by the surging waves, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird. As it flew over the roaring sea, it cried sadly in the sound "jinwei, jingwei". That was why people called it "Jingwei".
The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. It hated the sea so much that it decided to fill it up. Every day, it flew to and fro beeen the mountain and the sea, carrying in a ig or a pebble from the mountain and dropping it into the sea.
One day, the roaring sea said to Jingwei, "Poor little bird, s doing that meaningless thing! You'll never fill me up." Jingwei replied, "I'll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it'll take me thousands of years! I'll fight on until doomsday!"
The brave little bird kept carrying igs and pebbles from the mountain to the Eastern Sea without taking a rest.
From this fable es the idiom "The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea". We use it to describe people who are firm and indomitable and will not s until they reach their goal.
誰能給我講壹個神話故事?希臘神話故事 後記
古斯塔夫·施瓦布（Gustav Schwab，1792—1850）是德國著名的浪漫主義詩人。他生於符騰堡宮廷官員家庭。曾任席勒的老師。1809—1814年在蒂賓根大學攻讀神學和哲學，結識烏蘭德等著名文學家。1815年去德國北部地區考察旅行，結識歌德和霍夫曼等人。他在文學上的主要貢獻在於發掘和整理古代文化遺產，曾出版《美好的故事和傳說集》、《德國民間話本》和《希臘神話故事》。他的主要詩集有《博登湖上的騎士》、《馬爾巴赫的巨人》等。
《希臘神話故事》為讀者敞開了壹扇觀察和認識古希臘乃至歐洲文化的視窗。作為反映古希臘神只和英雄故事的《希臘神話故事》的確給人類的文化生活留下了豐富的精神遺產。
古代“希臘七賢”之壹的哲學家泰利斯·封·彌勒特曾經說過：“神充斥壹切！”他指出，古代的希臘人幾乎都認為世界是神只創造並由神只統治的。盡管哲學家們把神只從形象到內含都解釋得十分抽象，可是這壹切並不影響人們對神只的信仰，因為對希臘人說來，沒有神只的世界那是不可理喻的。認為神只就在身旁的意識逐步發展，最後成為希臘宗教。當然，希臘宗教並不是社會生活的特殊領域，它不僅作用於某壹些時刻或者某壹些隆重的場合，而且還具備穿透壹切的力量。從這層意義上講，希臘宗教成為孕育希臘文化的母體。

The country Maid and Her Milk Can
村姑和牛奶罐
A country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head, when she fell into the following train of reflections.” The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred, These eggs, allowing for what may prove addle, and what may be destroyed by vermin, will produce at least o hundred and fifty chickens. The chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear; so that by the new year I cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown. Green-let me consider-yes, green bees my plexion best. and green it shall be, In this dress I will go to the fair,where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter;but no-I shall refuse every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them." Transported with this idea, she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind, when down came the can of milk! And all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.
