THE ATHENIAN AND THE THEBAN
An Athenian and a Theban were on the road together,and passed the time in conversation,as is the way of travellers After discussing a variety of subjects they began to talk about heroes,a topic that tends to be more fertile than edifying Each of them was lavish in his praises of the heroes of his own city,until eventually the Theban asserted that Hercules was the greatest hero who had ever lived on earth,and now occupied a foremost place among the gods;while the Athenian insisted that Theseus was far superior,for his fortune had been in every way supremely blessed,whereas Hercules had at one time been forced to act as a servant And he gained his point,for he was a very glib fellow,like all Athenians;SO that the Theban,who was no match for him in talking, cried at last in some disgust,“All right,have your way;I only hope that, when our heroes are angry with US,Athens may suffer from the anger of Hercules,and Thebes only from that ofTheseus.”
中国是一个历史悠久的国家,更是一个“文明古国”.讲文明是中华民族的传统美德,是我们每个人的责任与义务.随着时间的推移,我们的文明意识越来越强烈了.今天,我就遇到了一件倍感万分的事.
今天的天气,还是像往常一样,热得要命.走在外面还有一种要烤成人***感觉,但是我为了去绍兴探望生病的姐姐,还是牺牲了一下我的皮肤.回去时,人感觉晕忽忽的.心情格外烦躁,好像有一把火在燃烧似的.我和奶奶一同乘公交车回去.刚走到车站便吓了一跳:“怎么这么多人”等啊等,等啊等,皇天不负苦心人,嘿嘿,终于让我等到你了吧!车还没停下,人流就一股脑往上涌,我被挤在里面,好容易走了进去,又吃了一惊.怎么回事儿啊刚才车不是挺空的吗现在怎么一个座位也没了呀旁边还站了几个人.不会吧从绍兴站到柯桥……我和奶奶可着急了.忽然,身旁的一个叔叔“噌”地站了起来,对我们说:“你们坐吧!”我眼睛瞪地大大的,我能想像的到我那个惊愕的表情,我第一次看到别人给我让座,竟不知做啥好了.还是奶奶说的谢谢,我才跟着说的.
我们两个人挤在一个座位上.虽然挤了点儿,但是心中充满了喜悦和欣慰——不知是对那为叔叔的感激,还是看到了中国文明的希望.以前,我总是觉得:我们中国虽说是文明古国,哪儿文明了呀那么多白色垃圾,堆在那里,每个人都置之不理;更多的是看到有人随地吐痰;砍伐树木……但最近我也发现了,我们在进步,社会也在进步.听说,钱洒了一地,却没有人归于己用,反而帮他们捡起来.现在又有人给我让座.我们更应该用行动来证明自己,让文明之花盛开在祖国的每一个角落.
一到雅典卫城博物馆的'门口,我就看到了一个猫头鹰雕像和博物馆底下的遗迹。猫头鹰是雅典的保护神雅典娜的化身,因此,雅典人很爱猫头鹰。进到博物馆,我就看见了山坡走廊展区,这个展区展示的大多都是古希腊人日常生活使用器皿和工具。还有一小部分浮雕在这里。
到了博物馆二层,我看见了大部分的浮雕和雕塑。其中让我印象最深的还是伊瑞克提翁神庙里的女神柱。女神柱就像六名妇女在顶着花盆。考虑到要撑起整个房顶,设计师打算把她们的脖子雕粗,但是一个人脖子太粗又不好看,于是就在她们的脖子后面让工匠雕了一条条长辫子。这样就既美观又好看了,真是两全其美啊!
由于时间已经到了,我没看顶楼的帕特农展区就走了。真希望还能再来一次啊!
