【双语希腊神话:那西塞斯Narcissus】在古希腊的众多神话故事中，有一个关于自我迷恋与命运的故事，至今仍让人深思。它就是“那西塞斯”（Narcissus）的传说。这个故事不仅揭示了人性中对美的追求，也警示了过度自恋可能带来的悲剧。
那西塞斯是河神刻菲索斯（Cephisus）与水泽仙女利里亚（Liriope）之子，他天生俊美非凡，容貌倾国倾城。然而，他的美貌也让他成为众多人爱慕的对象，但他却从不为所动，甚至对那些向他示爱的人冷眼相待。
有一天，一位名叫厄科（Echo）的仙女被爱神阿佛洛狄忒（Aphrodite）诅咒，只能重复别人的话语，无法主动说话。她深深爱上了那西塞斯，但因为诅咒，她无法表达自己的感情。她只能在他经过时，一遍遍重复他说过的话。那西塞斯被她的声音吸引，却从未意识到那是她的回应。
最终，那西塞斯被厄科的言语打动，开始接近她。然而，当他终于靠近时，他才发现自己爱上的是一个无法回应他的人。他感到失望和痛苦，最终离开了她。
此后，那西塞斯独自一人来到一片清澈的湖边，俯身饮水。当他低头看见水中倒影的自己时，立刻被那张美丽的脸庞所吸引。他以为那是另一个年轻人，于是不断试图接近水面中的“他”。然而，无论他如何努力，那个身影始终无法触碰。他沉醉于自己的倒影之中，日复一日地凝视着，最终因无法得到而憔悴死去。
在他死去的地方，生长出一种美丽的花朵，人们称之为“水仙花”（Narcissus），以纪念这位沉迷于自己容貌的年轻人。

Myth of Narcissus
In the many stories of ancient Greek mythology, one tale stands out for its reflection on self-love and fate. It is the story of Narcissus. This legend not only reveals the human desire for beauty but also warns of the tragedy that can come from excessive self-obsession.
Narcissus was the son of the river god Cephisus and the water nymph Liriope. He was exceptionally handsome, so beautiful that many people fell in love with him. However, he remained indifferent to their affections, often rejecting those who tried to win his heart.
One day, a nymph named Echo, cursed by Aphrodite, could only repeat the words of others and could not speak on her own. She fell deeply in love with Narcissus, but because of the curse, she could never express her feelings. She could only repeat what he said whenever he passed by. Attracted by her voice, Narcissus approached her, but never realized it was her.
Eventually, Narcissus was moved by her words and began to approach her. But when he finally came close, he realized that the person he had fallen for was someone who could not truly respond to him. He felt disappointed and left.
Later, Narcissus went to a clear lake and bent down to drink. As he looked into the water, he saw his own reflection and was immediately captivated by the beautiful face staring back at him. Thinking it was another young man, he tried to reach out to the image. But no matter how hard he tried, the reflection would not touch him. He became obsessed with his own image, spending days gazing at it until he eventually wasted away from longing.
Where he died, a beautiful flower grew, known as the "daffodil" (Narcissus), in memory of the young man who was lost in his own beauty.
