    In old Greek stories, Ganymede was a very beautiful young boy. Zeus, king of the gods, took him up to Mount Olympus — the tales say Zeus came as an eagle, or sent one — to pour wine for the gods. That job is serving the cup.

    In old Greek stories在古希臘故事裡 Ganymede was a very beautiful young Trojan boyGanymede是一位非常美麗的特洛伊少年 Zeus, king of the gods眾神之王宙斯 took him up to Mount Olympus把他帶上奧林帕斯山 the tales say Zeus came as an eagle, or sent one傳說宙斯是化身老鷹前來,或是派了一隻老鷹去 to pour wine for the gods讓他為眾神斟酒 That job is serving the cup這份工作就是斟酒的差事

    Though actually, the tidy school line ('he got work as a wine waiter') is tidier than the story people told: Zeus took him because he wanted the boy, and for centuries writers used the name as a quiet way to talk about a man keeping a boy. That is not kind, and it is not a joke; say so if a student only heard the waiter version.

    Though actually不過其實 the tidy school line ('he got work as a wine waiter')課本上乾淨的說法(「他找到了斟酒的工作」) is tidier than the story people told比人們真正流傳的故事整潔多了 Zeus took him because he wanted the boy宙斯帶走他,是因為他想要這個男孩 and for centuries writers used the name as a quiet way to talk about a man keeping a boy幾百年來作家們也用這個名字,含蓄地談論男人和男孩之間的關係 That is not kind, and it is not a joke這並不厚道,也不是玩笑 say so if a student only heard the waiter version如果學生只聽過斟酒版本,要這樣告訴他們

    Later, sky-watchers gave the same name to Jupiter's largest moon, so in a science class Ganymede is usually that moon, named after this boy. The Greek pieces mean something like 'meant to please' — to rejoice, plus thought or intention.

    Later, sky-watchers gave the same name to Jupiter's largest moon後來,天文學家把同樣的名字給了木星最大的衛星 so in a science class Ganymede is usually that moon所以在自然課裡,Ganymede通常是指那顆衛星 named after this boy以這位少年命名的 The Greek pieces mean something like 'meant to please'這個希臘字的組成大概是「意在取悅」的意思 to rejoice, plus thought or intention歡喜,加上想法或用意
