星座故事:十二星座的美丽传说之天秤座

The Goddess of Justice was the daughter of Zeus, while Poseidon was the younger brother of Zeus. In ancient times, human beings and gods coexisted in the world and were happy and harmonious. However, the Goddess of Justice and Poseidon admired and respected each other. The Goddess of Justice was persistent and enthusiastic, whereas Poseidon was complex and cold-blooded. Zeus had numerous wives and children but he only had one brother, who was created by his and Hera’s tears. Thus, Poseidon was loved by everyone in the heaven, but the Goddess of Justice was independent.
正义女神是宙斯的女儿,海神波塞冬是宙斯的弟弟。在极为遥远的年代,人类与神一起居住在地上,过着和平快乐的日子。而正义女神和波塞冬在长时间的相处中也产生了感情,他们彼此尊重,互相爱慕。正义女神有着男子一样的气质,坚毅而热情;波塞冬像海一样深邃,冰冷。宙斯有无数的妻子,因此也有数不清的儿女,而波塞冬是他唯一的兄弟,是他和天后赫拉用泪水造出来的。不仅宙斯和天后疼爱他,神殿里所有的神祗都视如掌上明珠。正义女神却十分独立,有自己的思想。

Human beings were clever. They learned to construct buildings and pave roads. But they also created conflicts amongst themselves. Wars and crimes erupted everywhere and many gods returned back to heaven. Only the Goddess of Justice and Poseidon remained with humans.
人类很聪明,他们逐渐学会了建房子、铺道路,但与此同时也学会了勾心斗角和欺骗。战争和罪恶开始在人间蔓延,许多神无法忍受纷纷回到天上居住,只有正义女神和波塞冬留了下来。

The Goddess of Justice did not lose the confidence towards human beings but believed someday they would be conscious of what they had done. But Poseidon felt disappointed and persuaded her to return to heaven. The Goddess refused and they quarreled for the first time. The Goddess despised him only as salt water creature, but Poseidon released the scandal of Zeus, that the Goddess was Zeus’ illegitimate daughter. She felt to be humiliated and found Zeus to have it out.
女神没有对人类绝望,她认为人类终有一天会觉悟,回到过去善良纯真的本性。但是波塞冬却对人类丧失了信心,他悲观的劝女神回到天上去。女神自然不听,于是两人生平第一次争吵。他们争执得很激烈,从人类的问题上不断升级,最后竟吵到了彼此的身世上。正义女神鄙夷波塞冬不过是一滩咸水,而波塞冬则抖落出宙斯的丑闻及女神私生的事实。正义女神受到极大的侮辱,找到父亲宙斯评理。

Hera suggested a competition. Whoever made mankind peaceful first should apologize to the other. Hera liked Poseidon and envied the mother of the Goddess. She knew water was the source of life and could make people peaceful again.
天后赫拉建议两人比赛,看谁能更让人类感受和平,谁输了谁就向对方道歉。赫拉偏爱波塞冬,又嫉妒正义女神的母亲,她知道水是生命的源泉,一定会让人类感到和平。

The arena was a square in heaven. When Poseidon distributed clear water, people felt comfortable and at ease with it. At this moment, the Goddess became a tree with red trunk, green leaves and golden olives. Everyone felt its peace and love. Poseidon smiled at Goddess and knew she had won.
比赛的地点设在天庭的广场,由海神先开始。只见波塞冬朝墙上一挥,裂缝中就流出了非常美的水,晶莹剔透,让人看了以后感到无限的清凉与舒适。这时候正义女神变成了一棵树,这棵树有着红褐色的树干,苍翠的绿叶以及金色的橄榄,任何人看了都感受到爱与和平。波塞冬朝女神微笑着,他知道女神的心愿终于实现了。

Poseidon and the Goddess restored their relationship. To commemorate the result, Zeus threw a balance on the sky and called it Libra.
人类认识到和平的重要,女神与波塞冬和好如初,宙斯为了纪念这样的结果,把随身带的秤往天上一抛,就有了今天的天秤座。
