单词 scylla and charybdis:
释义

Scylla and Charybdis:

Scylla was a sea-monster trans-formed into a cluster of rocks in the strait between It-aly and Sicily,and opposite Scylla lay the whirlpoolCharybdis. The nearness of these dangers to each oth-er gave rise to a proverb: “Thou fallest into Scylla,endeavouring to avoid Charybdis.”西拉是意大利与西西里岛之间海峡中的 一群礁石(据云为海怪所变),卡利布底斯是与其相对的一个危险的漩涡,船只到此,常常遇难。因而产生了一句古谚:“当你竭力逃避卡利布底斯(漩涡)的时候,却撞上了西拉(礁石)。”
△Mer.3.5.17(16):“thus when I shun Scylla, your father,I fall into Charybdis,your mother.”我躲开了西拉,你的父亲,又撞上了卡利布底斯,你的母亲。
