http://dgdel.nchu.edu.tw/index1.php看希臘、羅馬故事學英文
Aurora,這個gre單字你會背嗎?
n. (名詞 noun)
1. 曙光[C]
2. 極光[C]
3. 【羅神】(大寫)歐若拉(即曙光女神)
南極光 antarctic light =aurora australis
北極光 arctic light= aurora borealis
(南方的= south= australis / 北方的= north= borealis)
不知道你有沒有注意到,馬路上一堆的震旦行連鎖店,它們的logo用的就是Aurora。
張紹涵有首歌叫aurora,另外有一部韓劇也叫「歐若拉」。
Aurora是個出現在希臘、羅馬故事的人物,看一看她的故事吧。
She was the dawn, Aurora being her Roman name. She had many
lovers, including Tithonus, upon whom she begged Zeus to bestow
immortality. As she had forgotten to beg for eternal youth, too,
Tithonus lived on and on and shriveled day by day until he had no
vigor left except for an old man's shrill chirping. At last, she did
not regret to let him turn into a cicada.
可以參考下頭的解釋。
