Orion（猎户座）
The name of the constellation（星座） Orion derives from a Greek myth, which relates to a handsome and muscular（肌肉发达的） mortal hunter.As a son of Poseidon, ruler of all the seas, Orion was comfortable at sea as he was on land.
猎户座的名字源于希腊神话中一位英俊健硕的猎手。作为海神波塞冬的儿子，俄里翁无论在陆地还是海上都如履平地。
He was able to navigate great distance across the ocean with his head above water the whole time. Everything about Orion was larger than life, including his opinion of himself.
他可以只把脑袋露出水面，在海里游很长的距离。在俄里翁的生活里，所有的东西都是大一号的，包括他对自己的看法。
Artemis, the beautiful goddess of the hunt, was impressed by Orion’s superb skills in archery（箭术） and formed a hunting team with him.
俄里翁的射箭技术非常高超，就连狩猎女神阿尔忒弥斯也对他刮目相看，两人时常相约一起狩猎。
However, Apollo, the twin brother of Artemis, resented（厌恶） the blossoming（成功发展） friendship between his sister and the boastful（自负的） Orion. He complained to Gaea, the most ancient of all the gods, about the brag of this young man’s daring to kill every animal on the planet.
然而，阿尔忒弥斯的双胞胎哥哥阿波罗却不喜欢这个狂妄自大的年轻人，为了拆散他们，阿波罗来到地母盖亚面前，告诉她说俄里翁吹嘘要杀死地球上所有的动物。
Gaea, who became furious（狂怒的） hearing this, decided to dispatch（派） him with a giant fearsome scorpion（蝎子）. This was indeed no ordinary scorpion（蝎子）
盖亚一听大为震怒，决定派一只巨大的蝎子去解决此事。 这不是一只普通的蝎子！
so what Orion could do was to run wildly to avoid being stung by its lethal（致命的） tail. It was not until he jumped into the sea that he could finally escape from the chaser, yet his fate was doomed（注定的）.
为了不被蝎子的尾巴蜇到，俄里翁拼了命地四处奔逃，一直到他跳进海里才终于摆脱了蝎子的追杀。然而，他的命运注定以悲剧结尾。
Being a tiny black speck（黑点） down on the ocean, he was shot dead by Artemis, who was then challenged by Apollo her skills as an archer.
远远看去，他在海上就是一个小黑点，而这个小黑点成了阿波罗和妹妹比拼射箭的目标。
Orion’s body was eventually placed into the sky, where Artemis hoped to gaze upon for all eternity. The goddess also put Orion’s two favorite hunting dogs, Canis Major and Canis Minor, near him so that his friend wouldn’t be alone.
阿尔忒弥斯在无意之间杀死了自己的好朋友。 最终，阿尔忒弥斯把俄里翁的尸体升上了天空，希望一抬头就能看见他，同时，为了让好朋友不那么孤单，她把俄里翁最喜欢的两条猎犬变成了大犬座和小犬座陪伴在他左右。
As the constellation of Orion sets eac night in the west, another constellation can be seen rising in the east. It is the Scorpion, chasing him across the sky.
每天夜里，当猎户座从西边的天空升起之际，在东边的天上，有另一个星座也会同时出现，那就是依然在追赶他的天蝎座。
