介绍:
1. narcissus水仙花: Narcissus is actually a very handsome young man in Greece. He is so handsome that every girl who meets him will fall in love with him. However, narcissus turns them all down. One day, he annoys a Goddess, and she cursed him that he will love nobody but himself. The next day, narcissus goes to a lake, and when he sees his reflection in the water, he suddenly falls in fall with himself. He stares at the reflection day after day, and finally dies besides the lake. He then becomes a beautiful flower, a narcissus. narcissus是希腊神话中的一位美男子,他因为爱上水中自己的倒影,痴迷而死。人们为了纪念他,把这种长在水边的水仙花叫作narcissus。所以narcissistic是自恋的意思,而水仙的花语就是只爱自己。 2. Iris鸢尾花 It is said that people go to heaven through the bridge of rainbow, accompanied by the Goddess of rainbow, Iris. Thus, iris is often used to decorate graves in some cultures. 鸢尾花的名字源自人们对霓虹女神Iris的敬意。 3. rose 玫瑰。 与希腊神话中的小爱神Eros息息相关。You might not know Eros, but you must be familiar with his Roman name-Cupid. 丘比特。In Greek mythology, the Goddess of flower loves Eros. She misses him so much that when she is creating a new flower, she Eros&`& name slips out of her mouth. And this love flower becomes a rose. 4. mint薄荷 It is from Mintha, a fairy in Greek mythology. Mintha used to be lover of Hades, but Hades later marries Persephone. Out of jealousy, Mintha spreads rumors to blacken Persephone&`&s name. When Persephone hears this, she crushes Mintha down into ashes. To memorize her, Hades grows mint leaves in Mintha&`&s bone ash. 薄荷便在Mintha那里生长起来,而Mintha的爱正像薄荷的香气一样,永不消散。 Background Music: Bubbly
