Norse Myth, the Corner Which Is Forgotten By Humans.Do you remember, Odin, when in bygone dayswe mixed our blood together?You said you would never drink aleunless it were brought to both of us.Larrington, Carolyne (Trains.)(1999).The Poetic Edda.Oxford World’s Classics.Norse myth is a multi-god system. It is mainly divided into four parts: Giants, Gods, Elves and Dwarves. Giants created the world.Giants give birth to the gods, but they are also the biggest enemies of the gods. Gods are divided into two parts. One is Aesir, which leader is the Lord God Odin; the other one is Njord, Nereus, the chief of Vanir. There are 12 Lord Gods in Norse myth:●Odin奥汀: He is the king of the gods who rulers the world.●Frigg 弗丽嘉: She is in charge of marriage and family. She is Odin's wife.●Loki 洛基: He is the fire-god, Odin’s brother, the posterity of Giant Ymir. It is said that Loki is handsome but grumpy. He becomes to be a fiend at last.●Freyr 弗雷: He is Helios, the symbol of abundance, prosperity, love and peace.●Thor 索尔: He is the thunder-god, the eldest son of the Lord God Odin.●Sif 西芙: She is Thor's wife. She has beautiful and shining blond hair.●Tyr 提尔:He is Ares, the son of Giant Schimmel.●Freyja弗蕾亚: Controlling of fertility and love. She is Freyja's younger sister.●Heimdall海姆达尔: He is the Guardian of Gods’ World.●Baldur巴尔德尔: He is Odin’s son, the brightness-god. He always wears a smile on his face.●Hoder霍尔德尔: He is the Baldur’s twin brother, the darkness-god. He is fierce and sullen.●Budle布吉拉: He is Odin’s son, the poetry-god.The difference between Greek myth and Norse myth is that the gods in Norse myth are not omnipotent. They also make mistakes. The world in Norse myth is not everlasting; to our surprise, the world in Norse myth has end and beginning. It sounds more close to our daily life.The gods in Norse myth are not looking distant any more. It seems that they just look like us, the common humans with emotion such as happy, sad, angry, pride etc. Maybe it is the charm which is attracted you to research.。
英语趣味小知识：一周七天的典故
英语趣味小知识：一周七天的典故除了星期六(Saturday)来源于罗马的萨图恩神(saturn)以外，其余六天的名字都来源于北方诸神。
星期日：Sunday，the day of the Sun，“太阳日”。
对基督徒而言，星期日是“安眠日”，由于耶稣复活的日子是在星期日。
约在西元三百年左右，欧洲教会和政府当局开头明订星期日为休息的日子，直到今日，世界上大多数的国家都以Sunday为星期例假日。
星期一：Monday，the day of the Moon，从Moonday进展至如今的Monday，“月亮日”。
星期二：Tuesday，源于Tiwesday，“战神日”。
Tiw是北欧神话里的战神，正犹如罗马神话里的战神Mars一样。
在北欧神话中不叫Tiw而叫Tyr。
相传在他的'那个时代，有一狼精常常出来扰乱世界，为了制服狼精，Tyr的一只手也被咬断了。
星期三：Wednesday，源于Woden’s day，“Woden”是风暴之神，“风神日”。
Woden是北欧诸神之父。
为制服狼精而牺牲自己一只手的Tyr，就是他的儿子。
Woden领导神族跟巨人族作战，他曾牺牲自己锋利的右眼，跟巨人族换取“才智”的甘泉。
他也曾深化地层，从巨人族那里偷取“诗”的美酒。
西方人为了追念这位主神，就依据他的名字制造了Wednesday这个字。
星期四：Thursday，是为了纪念雷神(Thor)而命名的。
故星期四又称为“雷神日”。
红头发的雷神索尔(星期四的来源)是主神奥丁的儿子，他戴着一副特别的绶带和手套，具有超人的力气，能够把岩石击碎。
相传有一次，他的大铁被一位叫Thrym的巨人偷走了。
Thrym 扬言，除非神族容许把秀丽的爱神Freya嫁给他做为交换。
然而Freya 抵死不从，於是神族想了一个方法，由Thor男扮女装穿Freya的衣服，假装嫁给他，Thrym不疑有诈，把铁交给新娘。
于是Thor抢回了自己的武器，也马上把Thrym给杀了。

高中英语课文中外神话I still remember the first time I read about Norse mythology in my high school English class. It was a fascinating experience to learn about gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki, and the epic stories of their adventures and battles.我还记得第一次在高中英语课上读到北欧神话的时候。
了解奥丁、雷神索尔和洛基等诸神，以及他们的史诗式的冒险故事和战斗，真是一次令人着迷的经历。
The vivid descriptions of Asgard, the mythical realm of the gods, and the nine realms of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, transported me to a world of magic and wonder. The elaborate family trees and complex relationships between the gods opened up a whole new world of understanding and imagination for me.对阿斯加德这个神秘之地以及世界树尤格特拉希尔的九个领域的生动描绘，让我仿佛置身于一个充满魔力和奇迹的世界。
复杂的家族谱系和神祗之间错综复杂的关系，为我打开了一个全新的理解和想象的世界。
Reading about the gods' fateful battles, their quests for wisdom and power, and their interactions with humans made me realize that mythology is so much more than just stories. It is a reflection of human nature, belief systems, and cultural values that have been passed down through generations.阅读神祗注定的战斗、追求智慧和权力的探索，以及他们与人类的互动，让我意识到神话不仅仅是故事。

奥丁——北欧神话主神
奥丁——北欧神话主神奥丁介绍中文名：奥丁外文名：Odin其他名称：沃登神话体系北欧神话所属：阿萨神族居所：阿斯加德司掌：神王、智慧、权利、死亡、战争、魔法象征：乌鸦父母：包尔、贝斯特拉配偶：天后：弗丽嘉兄弟姐妹：亲兄弟：海尼尔、洛德(诗体埃达中)威利、菲(新埃达中)义兄弟：洛基子女：雷霆之神：托尔战争之神：提尔光明之神：巴德尔黑暗之神：霍德尔诗歌之神：布拉基武器：冈格尼尔坐骑：斯莱布尼尔地位：阿萨主神成就：获得如尼文字、杀死巨人伊米尔奥丁(古诺尔斯语：óeinn;英语：Odin，名字意思通常认为是“疯狂”或“狂暴”)，是北欧神话中的主神，阿萨神族的众神之王，他的神格包括了预言、王权、智慧、治愈、魔法、诗歌、战争和死亡。
神话中他是女神弗丽嘉的丈夫，雷神托尔的父亲，诡计之神洛基的结拜兄弟。
奥丁在神话里有上百个别名，而在日耳曼的神话和宗教里他则被称之为沃登(Wōden)，星期三(Wednesday)正是由此得名。
神话传说中，奥丁是一个独眼、白色长髯的神明，他头戴鹰盔及身披金甲，手持武器冈格尼尔长枪(Gungnir)，手戴宝物德罗普尼尔金环(Draupnir)，端坐在可以看到九大世界的至高王座(Hlieskjálf)。
脚边是两头凶狼基利和库力奇(Geri and Freki)，随时地为保护奥丁而准备着。
肩膀上是两只乌鸦福金和雾尼(Hugin and Munin)，它们会飞遍九大世界并返回向奥丁报告。
当奥丁打算出行之时会身穿斗篷和宽帽子，骑上八足马斯莱普尼斯(Sleipnir)横跨天空甚至进入冥界。
他偶尔会在英灵殿享受宴会，但从不进食，只是在喝酒。
因为早已从预言中知晓诸神黄昏的存在，为了应对而做了许多准备，甚至为蓄足兵力而让无数战士在战场上灭亡，派出瓦尔基里收集战死者之魂，使他们成为英灵战士。
虽然尽力避免诸神黄昏的发生，但危机最终还是到来。
而他在战斗中，被洛基之子巨狼芬里尔吞食而死。
在后来的民间传说中是一个狂猎的先锋，在冬季天空中领导一支可怕的幽灵队伍，暴风是奥丁带来的死亡之风。

2018考研英语词源趣谈之常见天体名称的由来
2018考研英语词源趣谈之常见天体名称的由来跨考教育英语教研室——汪婵娟1. sun（太阳）：北欧神话中的太阳神苏尔北欧神话中，太阳神是女的，名叫“苏尔”（Sunna 或 Sunne），英语中表示太阳的单词sun 就来自她的名字。
苏尔是巨人蒙迪尔法利（Mundilfari）的女儿，每天驾驶太阳车，和驾驶月亮车的兄弟曼尼（Mani）在天空交替运行。
sun：[sʌn] n. 太阳2. moon（月亮）：北欧神话中的月亮神曼尼在北欧神话中，月亮神是男的，名叫曼尼（Mani），古英语中称为 Mona，英语单词 moon（月亮）、month（月）便来源于此。
曼尼是太阳神苏尔的兄弟，他负责驾驶月辆车，和负责驾驶太阳车的苏尔每天在天空交替运行。
在他身后是夜之女神诺特（Nott）所驾驶的黑色车辆。
他们出现在天际的时候，大地就进入夜晚。
moon：[mun] n. 月亮；月球；月光；卫星3. Mercury（水星）：古罗马神话中的神使墨丘利水星是太阳系中离太阳最近、体积最小的行星。
因为距离最近，所以受到太阳的引力也最大，因此在它的轨道上比任何行星都跑得快，所以古希腊人就用希腊神话中跑得最快的神使赫尔墨斯来命名它。
古罗马神话中对应的神使墨丘利（Mercury），所以在拉丁语中将它称为Mercury。
英语则直接照搬拉丁语的说法。
Mercury：['mɝkjəri] n. 水星；墨丘利4. Venus（金星）：古罗马神话中的爱与美神维纳斯金星是离地球最近的行星，也是是全天中除太阳和月亮外最亮的星，犹如一颗耀眼的钻石，光彩夺目。
所以古代希腊人便用神话中的爱与美神来命名它。
罗马人所信奉的爱与美神是维纳斯（Venus），所以在拉丁语中将金星称为 Venus。
英语则直接照搬拉丁语的说法。
Venus：['vinəs] n. 金星；维纳斯5.Mars（火星）：古罗马神话中的战神马尔斯火星因为其橘红色外表而被中国人称为“火星”。

北欧神话 巴德尔的英语
北欧神话巴德尔的英语Baldur is a god in Norse mythology. He is the son of Odin and Frigg, and is known as the god of light, joy, and wisdom. Baldur is described as being very handsome, kind, and just, and is loved and respected by all the gods and humans.According to legend, Baldur had a dream that he would die, which made Frigg very worried. She asked all the things in the world to promise not to hurt Baldur, but she forgot the mistletoe. Loki, the god of mischief, found this and made a spear out of mistletoe, and gave it to Baldur's blind brother Hodur. Under Loki's deception, Hodur threw the spear at Baldur, killing him.Baldur's death was a great tragedy in Norse mythology, and it was also an important event that triggered the end of the world, Ragnarok. After Baldur's death, the gods and giants engaged in a final battle, which led to the destruction of the world.In Norse mythology, Baldur represents light, wisdom, and kindness. His death symbolizes the impermanence of life and the inevitability of fate. At the same time, Baldur's story also reflects the北欧 people's view of life and death, as well as their pursuit of wisdom and light.。

北欧神话英语读后感
北欧神话英语读后感The Norse myths I recently delved into have left a profound impact on my imagination. They're not just tales; they're a rich tapestry of a culture's beliefs and values. The gods, with their human-like flaws, have made the myths relatable and their stories timeless.The intricate relationships between the gods and their adversaries, the giants, were fascinating. The way they navigated love, war, and betrayal was a stark contrast to the divine perfection often associated with deities. It's a reminder that even in the realm of the gods, nothing is absolute.What struck me most was the inevitability of Ragnarok, the end of the world as prophesied in the myths. The acceptance of this fate by the gods is a powerful narrative that speaks to the human condition's acceptance of mortality and the cyclical nature of life and death.The themes of heroism, honor, and the pursuit of glory resonated deeply. These are universal values that transcend time and place, making the Norse myths a source ofinspiration for many. They challenge us to consider what we value and what we're willing to fight for.Reading these myths has been an enlightening journey. They've opened my eyes to the complexities of ancient beliefsand the enduring power of storytelling. It's a testament to the human spirit's capacity to create, to imagine, and to dream beyond the confines of our world.。
