問題詳情

(II)    Do you know what your biggest weakness (弱點) is? Everyone has a few things they would like to become better at. However, if you were trying to win something, even your smallest weakness would be serious because it might make you lose.     In Greek mythology, the great hero Achilles had his own weakness. His mother, Thetis, was a nymph, while his father, King Peleus, was a human. When Achilles was born, Thetis held him by his heel and dipped (浸) him into the river Styx to turn him into a person who would never be hurt. However, she forgot to dip his heel into the water. This small part of his body became Achilles’ only weakness.    Years later, Achilles fought against the Trojans in a great war. He killed many strong people and won many fights. However, the day finally arrived when his weakness was found. The Trojan prince Paris shot an arrow (箭) at Achilles’ heel. Achilles soon died after he got hurt.     Today, one’s major weakness is still called an “Achilles’ heel.” Luckily, our own weaknesses don’t have such a terrible effect (影響) as they did for Achilles.
