释义 | § 名称 雅辛托斯(Hyacinthus) § 人物简介 在希腊神话中, 雅辛托斯 是缪斯克莉奥和马其顿国王皮埃罗斯的儿子.雅辛托斯是一个美丽的青年,为阿波罗神所钟爱。在希腊神话中, 雅辛托斯被阿波罗掷铁饼时所误伤而死。传说中,在雅辛托斯的血泊中,长出了一种美丽的花,以他的名字命名,叫做风信子(Hynacinth)。 § 英文介绍 Hyacinthus, the young son of the King of Sparta, beautiful like the very gods of Mount Olympus, was beloved of Apollo, shooter of arrows. The god often came down to the shores of the Eurotas River, leaving his shrine in Delphi unattended, to spend time with his young friend and delight in boyish pleasures. Tired of his music and his long bow, Apollo found relief in rustic pastimes. He would take Hyacinthus hunting through the woods and glades on the mountain sides, or they would practice gymnastics, a skill which Hyacinthus then taught to his friends, and for which later the Spartans would become renowned. The simple life awoke Apollo's appetites, and made the curly-haired boy seem more charming than ever. Apollo gave him all his love, forgetting he was a mere mortal. Once, in the heat of a summer afternoon, the lovers stripped naked, sleeked themselves with olive oil, and tried their hand at discus throw, each vying to outdo the other. The bronze discus flew higher and higher. Finally, the powerful god gathered all his strength, and spun and wheeled and let fly the shiny disk which rose swift as a bird, cutting the clouds in two. Then, glittering like a star, it began to tumble down. Hyacinthus ran to meet it. He was hurrying to take his turn, to prove to Apollo that he, though young, was no less able than the god at this sport. The discus landed, but having fallen from such a great height it bounced and violently struck Hyacinthus in the head. He let out a groan and crumpled to the ground. The blood spurted thickly from his wound, coloring crimson the black hair of the handsome youth. Horrified, Apollo raced over. He bent over his friend, raised him up, rested the boy's head on his knees, trying desperately to staunch the blood flowing from the wound. But it was all in vain. Hyacinthus grew paler and paler. His eyes, always so clear, lost their gleam and his head rolled to one side, just like a flower of the field wilting under the pitiless rays of the noonday sun. Heartbroken, Apollo cried out: "Death has taken you in his claws, beloved friend! Woe, for by my own hand you have died. And yet its crime was meeting yours at play. Was that a crime? Or was my love to blame - the guilt that follows love that loves too much? Oh, if only I could pay for my deed by joining you in your journey to the cheerless realms of the dead. Oh, why am I cursed to live forever? Why can't I follow you?" Death of Hyacinthus Apollo held his dying friend close to his breast, and his tears fell in a stream onto the boy's bloody hair. Hyacinthus died, and his soul flew to the kingdom of Hades. The god bent close to the dead boy's ear, and softly whispered: "In my heart you will live forever, beautiful Hyacinthus. May your memory live always among men as well." And lo, at a word from Apollo, a fragrant red flower rose from Hyacinthus's blood. We call it hyacinth, and on its petals you can still read the letters "Ay," the sigh of pain that rose from Apollo's breast. And the memory of Hyacinthus lived on among the gentlemen of Sparta, who gave honors to their son, and celebrated him for three days in mid-summer at the Hyakinthaea festival. The first day they would mourn his death, and the last two they would celebrate his ressurection. § 植物 【学名】Hyacinthus orientalis L以雅辛托斯的名字命名的风信子 【英名】Hyacinthus 【中文名】风信子 【别名】洋水仙、西洋水仙、五色水仙、时样锦 【花语】喜悦、竞赛、赌注、游戏、悲哀、悲伤的爱情、永远的怀念,在晓玲叮当的《魔法小仙子》 一书中,风信子的花语是尊重。 风信子的花期过后,若要再开花,需要剪掉之前奄奄一息的花朵。所以风信子也代表着--重生的爱。 忘记过去的悲伤,开始崭新的爱。 风信子的花色彩丰富,引人入胜。特别一到春节,红、蓝、白、紫、黄、粉红色的风信子,芳香阵阵,充满节日欢乐气氛。 白色的风信子:暗恋、恬适、沉静的爱(不敢表露的爱) 红色的风信子:感谢你,让我感动的爱(你的爱充满我心中) 蓝色的风信子:恒心、贞操、仿佛见到你一样高兴。 紫色的风信子:悲伤、妒忌,忧郁的爱(得到我的爱,你一定会幸福快乐) 黄色风信子——有你就幸福 粉色的风信子:倾慕、浪漫 风信子--永远的怀念 【科属分类】 界: 植物界 / Plantae 门: 被子植物门 / Magnoliophyta 纲: 单子叶植物纲 / Liliopsida 目: 天门冬目 / Asparagales 科: 风信子科(有些人认为是百合科)/ Hyacinthaceae 属: 风信子属/Hyacinthus 风信子,为风信子科风信子属中的多年生草本植物,具鳞茎。 原来属于百合科,现在已被提升为新的风信子科的模式属,而风信子也从原来的百合目改到新成立的天门冬目中。风信子原产于地中海和南非,学名得自希腊神话中受太阳神阿波罗宠眷、并被其所掷铁饼误伤而死的美少年雅辛托斯(Hyacinthus)。 【原产地】 风信子的三个属均原产于西亚及中亚的海拔2600M以上的石灰岩地区。现在世界广泛栽培。 |
