课文讲解
One day, Epimetheus finally went out and left the key at home, While he was away, she took the key and unlock the box. Once she opened it, all evil things flew out of it: diseases, war, and hate. Pandora shut the box right away, but it was too late. The evils spread all over the world.
某天，伊皮米修斯终于出门了，并把钥匙遗留在家中。当他离开的时候，潘多拉用那把钥匙打开了盒子。当她一打开盒子，所有邪恶的东西如「疾病」、「战争」以及「憎恨」全飞了出来。潘多拉立刻关上盒子，但是一切都太迟了；那些祸害已经扩散到了全世界。
Pandora felt terrible and afraid, and she cried and cried. Luckily, one thing stayed in the box: hope. That is why today we never lose hope even when horrible things happen in the world.
潘多拉感到既惊恐又害怕，她哭了又哭。幸运的是，还有一样东西留在盒子内：「希望」。这就是为什么时至今日，即使世界上有可怕的事情发生，我们永远不会丧失希望。
