Achilles'heel

 The Greek poet Homer has given us many phrases. A famous one is "Achilles'heel." Every body has his "Achilles'heel," his weak spot.
 希腊诗人荷马给我们留下了很多成语,其中著名的一个就是“阿奇里斯的脚跟”。每个人都有自己的“阿奇里斯的脚跟”,即他的弱点。
 This is the story Homer tells in the Iliad. Achilles' mother bathed him as a baby in the River Styx to make him immortal, deathless like a god. But she held him by the heel and it did not get wet. The heel therefore was the one spot where Achilles could be hurt, possibly killed. And so he was in the Trojan War.
 荷马在《伊里亚特》讲的故事是这样的:阿奇里斯的母亲在冥河里给出生的阿奇里斯沐浴,为了使他能像神一样地永生不死。但是她提着阿奇里斯的脚后跟,因而那一部分没有浸湿。于是脚后跟成了阿奇里斯身上唯一会受伤、也许是会致命的弱点。后来在特洛伊战争中果然发生了这样的事。
 None of the Trojan weapons was able to hurt Achilles. The god Apollo, however, knew of Achilles’ weak spot and told Paris about it. Paris then shot an arrow at Achilles' heel and killed him.
 特洛伊人的任何武器都无法伤害阿奇里斯。然而阿波罗神却知道阿奇里斯的弱点并告诉了帕里斯。帕里斯就对准阿奇里斯的脚后跟射出一箭,把他杀死了。
