菲拉顿夺走了太阳。
Phaeton steals the sun.
很久以前，在古希腊，有四匹长着巨大羽翼的马整装待发。
Once upon a time in ancient Greece, four horses with giant feathery wings stood at the ready.
它们看起来是世上最强壮、最美丽的马，那雄伟的翅膀从它们骄傲的背上展开，宛如巨鹰的双翼。
They looked like the strongest, most beautiful horses that ever galloped, and their mighty wings sprouted from their proud backs like those of some giant eagle.
它们是神马珀伽索斯的表亲，和那位更出名的家人一样神奇。
These were the cousins of the mighty Pegasus, and they were just as wondrous as their more famous family member.
唯一的不同在于，珀伽索斯像月光下的白雪般银光闪闪，而这四匹马却是金色的。
The only difference, where Pegasus was the shining silver of moonlit snow, these four were gold.
不是戒指和王冠那种实心的金，而是像夏日晨曦般炽烈的琥珀金。
Not the solid gold of rings and crowns, but the blazing tawny gold of summer sunrise.
早上好，我的神驹啊——一个洪亮的声音响起。
Good morning, my mighty steeds, came a booming voice.
一如既往地准备好了，我看得出来。
Ready as always, I see.
世上再没有比它们更出色的马了。
Never been a better horse born than these.
那是赫利俄斯，马的主人。
It was Helios, the horse's owner.
赫利俄斯是古希腊众神之一，也是泰坦的后代。
Helios was one of the gods of ancient Greece and a child of the titans.
他身上充满古老的魔力，肩负着最重要的职责之一。
He was full of old magic, and he had one of the most important jobs of all.
每天清晨，他都会把马车套在太阳上，拉着它穿越希腊的天空，为大地上的植物、动物和人们带来光明。
Each morning, he would hook his chariot to the sun and pull it across the sky of Greece, bringing light to all the eager plants and animals and people of the land.
这是一份艰难而危险的工作，但赫利俄斯完全能胜任。
It was a difficult and dangerous job, but Helios was up to it.
来吧，法厄同。
Come now, Phaeton.
准备好缰绳，他喊道。
Ready the reins, he called.
法厄同是他的儿子。
Phaeton was his son.
他才刚开始让法厄同帮忙，这孩子自豪得整个人都在发光。
He'd only recently started letting Phaeton help, and the boy was so proud he seemed to glow.
而且，说真的，他可能确实有点发光，至少稍微那么一点。
And, well, maybe he did glow, at least a little.
毕竟，赫利俄斯是神，法厄同自然算得上半神。
After all, Helios was a god, so Phaeton was considered a demigod.
作为赫利俄斯的儿子，他身上也带着一些神力。
And being Helios' son, he carried some of that power himself.
但有一点神力，不等于拥有全部，这点法厄同后来才吃足了苦头。
Some is not all, though, as Phaeton would learn to his dismay.
把缰绳系紧了，孩子，赫利俄斯说。
Make sure the straps are tight, boy, Helios said.
他们站在奥林匹斯山旁的一片云朵边缘，高高俯视着众神居住的世界。
They were standing on the edge of a cloud near Mount Olympus, high above the world where the rest of the gods dwelled.
好的，爸爸。
Yes, dad.
我弄好了，”法厄同一边说，一边将红色皮带紧紧系在飞马金色的身躯上。
I got it, said Phaeton, cinching down the red leather straps against the golden bodies of the flying horses.
一切都准备好了。
All ready to go.
干得不错，孩子，”赫利俄斯一边说着，一边跨进他的金色战车，抓起缰绳。
Good work, son, Helios said as he stepped into his golden chariot and picked up the reins.
现在退后一点。
Now step back.
今晚见。
I'll see you tonight.
法厄同对着父亲露出灿烂的笑容，然后退到了一旁。
Phaeton beamed at his father and stepped back.
出发吧，迎接新的一天。
Onward to greet the day.
神明向那几匹马高声呼喊。
The god called out to the horses.
它们挥动巨大的翅膀，一下，两下，随后腾空而起。
They beat their mighty wings once, twice, and then leapt into the air.
黄金战车和赫利俄斯加起来怕有好几百磅重，可那些马儿却轻松地把它们拉上了天空。
The golden chariot and Helios must have weighed hundreds of pounds, but the horses pulled them effortlessly into the sky.
菲洛顿看着，战车飞越地平线，俯冲下去托起太阳，然后又冲天而起。
As Phaeton watched, the chariot flew over the horizon, dipped down to grab the sun, and then blazed back up into the air.
太阳升到天上，开始发光，把熔金般的光芒洒向大地。
The sun found its place in the sky and started shining, spreading molten gold light onto the land.
有一天，菲洛顿心想，阳光照在身上暖洋洋的。
One day, Phaeton said to himself as the sun warmed his skin.
有一天，这事儿也会轮到我。
One day, that'll be me.
当天晚些时候，他又跟朋友——半神哈莫尼娅和阿尔库斯——说了同样的话。
He said the same thing later that day to his friends, fellow demigods Harmonia and Arcus.
他们听起来并不怎么认同。
They didn't seem to agree.
别傻了，”美丽的哈莫尼亚说。
Don't be silly, said the beautiful Harmonia.
你父亲是神，但你只是半神。
Your father is a god, but you're just a demigod.
你根本不可能驾驭你父亲的战车。
There's no way you can drive your father's chariot.
什么？
What?
法厄同惊讶地说。
Said Phaeton, surprised.
我当然能。
Of course, I can.
我一直在帮忙准备，每个步骤我都清楚。
I've been helping get ready, and I know all the steps.
朋友，”阿卡斯拍了拍法厄同的肩膀。
Friend, said Arcus, clapping Phaeton on the shoulder.
准备是一回事，开太阳战车是另一回事。
Getting ready is one thing, but driving the sun chariot is another.
别想这事了。
Forget about it.
不如跟我一起去打猎吧。
Come hunting with me instead.
法厄同甩开了他的手。
Phaeton shrugged off his hand.
你总是想打猎。
You always wanna go hunting.
每次有人遇到问题，你第一个念头就是去打猎。
Every time anyone has a problem, hunting is your answer.
阿尔库斯有点脸红了。
Arcus blushed a little.
我喜欢打猎。
I like hunting.
你不能开太阳战车，别拿我撒气。
Don't get mad at me just because you can't drive the sun, chariot.
行了行了，”哈耳摩尼亚抬起手挡在他们中间，“没必要吵。
Come on, guys, Harmonia said, raising her hands between them.
咱们没必要动手。
We don't have to fight.
这事儿有更简单的解决办法。
There's an easier way to solve this.
两人都转头看向她。
They both turned to her.
她调皮地笑了笑。
She smiled impishly.
我觉得，既然法厄同想证明自己能开战车，那就让他开好了。
Well, I think if Phaeton wants to prove he can drive the chariot, then he should drive the chariot.
阿耳库斯翻了个白眼。
Arcus rolled his eyes.
赫利俄斯根本不会让他开。
Helios would never let him drive.
连宙斯他都不让开，宙斯可是雷神呢。
He doesn't even let Zeus drive, and he's the thunder god.
是啊，法厄同说。
Yeah, said Phaeton.
再说，我以前也问过，他说我太年轻了。
Besides, I've asked before, and he told me I'm too young.
更准确地说，是太凡人了，哈耳摩尼亚说。
More like too mortal, said Harmonia.
承认吧。
Admit it.
你那凡人的一面根本不敢干这事。
Your human side is way too chicken to do it.
她开始学鸡叫，阿耳库斯笑了。
She started to bark bark like a chicken, and Arcus laughed.
我才不是胆小鬼呢，法厄同紧握双拳说道。
I am not a chicken, said Phaeton, clenching his fists.
只要我愿意，我绝对能驾驭太阳战车。
I could definitely drive the sun chariot if I wanted to.
当然可以啦，哈耳摩尼亚微微一笑。
Sure you could, Harmonia said with a little smile.
我们当然相信你。
We definitely believe you.
她明显地对阿库斯眨了眨眼，两人又忍不住大笑起来。
She winked obviously at Arcus, and they both cracked up again.
好吧，法厄同的声音有点大。
Fine, said Phaeton a little too loudly.
好吧。
Fine.
你明天早上就负责看日出吧。
You just watch the sunrise tomorrow morning.
你等着看我开得多棒吧。
Watch and see how well I drive.
他的朋友们又笑了一阵，接着话题就转开了。
His friends laughed again, and then the conversation moved on.
哈莫尼亚和阿尔库斯很快就把玩笑抛在脑后了，但法厄同没有。
Harmonia and Arcus forgot about their teasing right away, but not Phaeton.
他一整天都在反复琢磨这件事。
He dwelled on it for the rest of the day.
就连吃晚饭时，他也心不在焉，闷声不响，光摆弄盘子里的食物，几乎没怎么吃。
Even during dinner, he was quiet and distant, playing with his food more than eating it.
他满脑子想的都是驾驶太阳战车的事。
His thoughts were consumed with thoughts of driving the sun chariot.
他想象着自己像父亲一样高大魁梧，肌肉结实得像雕像，站在战车上。
He imagined himself, tall and broad as his father and muscled like a statue standing in the chariot.
他幻想着握住那副沉重却温润的皮缰绳，大声吆喝，催动飞马向前奔腾。
He dreamed of taking up the heavy leather reins, smooth and warm, and shouting the flying horses into action.
他幻想着一把捧起太阳，把光明洒向全世界的人们。
He fantasized about scooping up the sun and bringing light to people all over the world.
到那晚睡觉时，他下定决心一定要试一试。
By the time he went to bed that night, he knew he had to try.
他知道这么做会惹麻烦，也知道朋友们或许根本没那么真心，居然这样取笑他，可这些都不重要了。
He knew he'd get in trouble, and he knew that maybe his friends weren't so friendly after all if they were going to tease him like that, but it didn't matter.
他只想驾驶太阳战车，谁也拦不住他。
He wanted to drive the sun chariot, and nothing was going to stop him.
第二天一早，法厄同就醒了，摸黑穿好衣服，悄悄溜到战车旁。
The next morning, Phaeton awoke early, dressed in the dark, and snuck out to the chariot.
赫利俄斯还在睡觉，世界一片寂静。
Helios was still asleep, and the world was quiet.
他像幽灵一样悄无声息地把战车和飞马都准备好了。
Moving silent as a ghost, Phaeton got the chariot and the flying horses ready.
等他做完这一切，天边已经快亮了。
When he was finished, it was near dawn.
他知道父亲随时都会醒过来。
He knew his father would be up any moment.
别这么做，他心里对自己说。
Don't do it, he thought to himself.
要是我现在停下，爸爸只会以为我早起是想帮忙。
If I stop now, dad will just think I got up early to help.
那样我就不会挨骂了。
I won't be in trouble.
他可能会很高兴。
He'd probably be happy.
要是我现在停下……但他望着那辆马车，在晨光中闪着金光。
If I stop now But he looked at the chariot, gleaming sunrise golden.
他看着那些马，漂亮的棕黄色翅膀舒展着，仿佛正期待着腾空而起。
He looked at the horses, beautiful tawny wings stretched wide in anticipation of their flight.
不行。
No.
他停不下来。
He couldn't stop.
现在不行。
Not now.
不管这主意有多糟，他都得驾马车。
Bad idea or no, he had to drive the chariot.
他得向朋友们证明自己。
He had to prove it to his friends.
但更重要的是，他想证明给自己看。
But more, he wanted to prove it to himself.

法厄同颤抖着登上战车，握紧了缰绳。
Trembling, Phaeton stepped into the chariot and picked up the reins.
马儿们用一种奇怪的眼神看着他，但还是展开翅膀，没有起飞。
The horses looked at him a little strangely, but still they stretched their wings and didn't fly.
它们怎么就不飞呢？
Why wouldn't they fly?
法厄同回想父亲平时是怎么做的，终于记起来了。
Phaeton thought about what his father did and remembered.
他声音发抖地说：‘出发吧，去开启这一天。’
Oh, onward to make the day, he said, his voice shaky.
马儿们又看了他一眼。
The horses looked at him again.
其中一匹嘶鸣一声，不耐烦地跺了跺脚。
One whinnied and stomped impatiently.
好吧，法厄同对自己说。
Oh, okay then, Phaeton said to himself.
再试一次，这次带点感情。
One more time with feeling now.
迎向新的一天。
Onward to greet the day.
他用尽全力模仿父亲的语气大喊，这效果足以让马儿们听从。
He bellowed it in his best impression of his father, and it was good enough for the horses.
它们挥动巨大的翅膀，一下，两下，然后腾空而起。
They beat their mighty wings once, twice, and then leapt into the air.
没错。
Yeah.
飞起来的瞬间，法厄同兴奋地大叫起来。
Phaeton screamed in excitement as they began to fly through the air.
他高兴得在空中挥拳庆祝，却差点松开缰绳，于是稍微冷静了一点。
He started punching the air in celebration, but he nearly lost the reins and calmed down a little.
好吧。
Okay.
现在去接太阳。
Now to get the sun.
这部分他其实不太明白，但父亲曾经告诉他，这些马知道路。
This was the part he didn't really understand, but his father had told him once that the horses knew the way.
菲洛特恩希望这是真的，因为他自己根本不知道该怎么走。
Phaeton hoped that it was true because he certainly didn't know.
幸运的是，马车一转弯俯冲，他就看见了奥林匹斯山边缘的古希腊太阳。
Thankfully, they banked and swooped, and there, on the edge of Mount Olympus, Phaeton saw the sun of ancient Greece.
美是美，但太刺眼了，没法久看。
It was beautiful, but too bright to look upon for long.
他一时慌了，不知道该怎么把太阳带回去，结果却没那么复杂。
He panicked for a moment about how he would carry it, but it was simpler than that.
马车掠过太阳时，它自动贴到了战车后头，熊熊燃烧，热得菲洛特恩后背直冒汗。
As they flew by the sun, it attached itself to the back of the chariot, blazing forth and sending prickles of warm sweat down Phaeton's back.
就这样成了。
That was it.
他拥有了太阳。
He had the sun.
现在该让它升起来了。
Now it was time to make it rise.
他轻抖缰绳，马儿立刻展翅，直冲云霄。
He flicked the reins, and at once the horses beat their wings and made for the heavens.
一阵轰鸣声中，法厄同发现自己已高高飞在世界之上。
With a rush and roar, Phaeton found himself high above the world.
马儿认得路，带得十分稳妥。
The horses knew the way, and they led him well.
不一会儿，他握着缰绳，惊愕地凝望四周。
Soon, he held the reins and stared in wonder.
整个世界都铺展在他脚下。
The world was spread below him.
希腊海岸的嶙峋轮廓，如大理石般斑驳的棕绿，镶嵌在碧蓝的海面之上。
The craggy outlines of Greece's shores marbled brown and green against the aquamarine of the seas.
这是他这辈子见过最美的景象，让他忍不住欢呼起来。
It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and it made him whoop with joy.
马儿拍打着翅膀，速度越来越快。
The horses beat their wings and their speed picked up.
狂风从法厄同耳边呼啸而过，吹乱了他的头发，扯动着他的衣服。
The wind rushed by Phaeton's head, pushing back his hair and tugging at his clothes.
他死死抓住缰绳，在马车里滑来滑去，太阳的热浪已经开始灼烧他的后背。
He clung tightly to the reins, slipping in the chariot, the heat of the sun starting to sting his back.
慢点！
Woah.
减速啊，他喊道。
Slow down, he cried.
但马儿要么听不见，要么根本不在乎。
But the horses either couldn't hear or didn't care.
它们跑得更快了，法厄同惊恐地看着它们在天空中横冲直撞，阳光扫过希腊，转瞬即逝，刚带来几分钟白昼，又立刻将一切拖回黑夜。
They went faster still, and Phaeton watched in horror as they tore across the sky, the sunlight pouring over Greece and then moving too quickly, giving them a few minutes of daylight before casting them back into night.
太快了。
Too fast.
太快了。
Too fast.
我们得确保太阳一整天都在天上。
We need to make sure they have sun all day.
见马儿还是不理他，他用力拉紧了缰绳。
Seeing the horses were still ignoring him, he pulled on the reins.
马儿照样不理他。
They ignored that too.
他还能怎么办？
What could he do?
他盯着那匹离马车最近的马的金色臀部。
He eyed the golden rear of the horse lashed closest to the chariot.
早上给马套车时，只要轻轻拍一下它们的屁股，它们就会听话。
When he got the horses ready in the morning, they always listened to a little swat on the rump.
只要能再靠近一点就好了。
If he could just get close enough.
他伸出手，松开了一只手的缰绳。
He reached out, letting go of the reins with one hand.
身体前倾，指尖刚好擦过马的毛发。
Stretching, his fingertips just brushed the horse's hair.
他从战车上探出身子。
He leaned out of the chariot.
风呼啸着从耳边掠过。
The wind roared past his ears.
他把肚子贴上战车边缘，身子进一步探出，双脚离开了车底。
He put his belly on the chariot's edge and leaned further out, his feet leaving the floor.
再往前一点就行。
Just a little more.
他抬起手臂，想拍一下马屁股引起注意，可就在那一瞬间，马匹在空中转了方向。
He raised his arm to slap the horse's rump and get its attention, but the horses turned in the air at the same moment.
法厄同失去了所有平衡。
Phaeton lost all balance.
他感觉肚子猛地一沉。
His stomach dropped.
他尖叫着，眼睁睁看着马车突然从头顶掠过，自己则直直坠向地面。
Screaming, he saw the chariot suddenly above him as he plummeted towards the ground.
他胡乱挥舞着手臂，运气不错，坠落时手碰到了松开的缰绳。
He flailed wildly, and in a bit of luck, his hand found the loose reins as he fell past them.
他一把抓住，死死攥住，整个人悬在了马车下方。
He grabbed on and clung tightly, hanging below the chariot now.
他突如其来的重量猛地把领头的马拽向一侧，撞上了旁边的马。
His unexpected unexpected weight pulled the lead horse hard to the side, and it collided with the horse next to it.
它们的翅膀缠在了一起，也开始下坠，连同马车一起往下掉。
Their wings tangled, and they started falling too, the horses and chariot falling with them.
法厄同尖叫起来，眼见他们正朝一片巨大的森林直坠而去。
Phaeton screamed as he saw they were plummeting towards a giant forest.
随着他们越来越近，树叶在近得离谱的烈日下开始冒烟、卷曲。
As they got closer, the green leaves started to smoke and crisp under the heat of the sun, now much closer than it was ever supposed to be.
马儿疯狂拍打翅膀，勉强在树冠上方拉了起来。
The horses flapped wildly, and they pulled up just above the treetops.
准确说，是以前树冠所在的地方。
Well, where the treetops used to be.
太阳靠近时把整片森林烧光了，如今那里只剩一片冒烟的荒漠。
The sun burned them away as they got close, and where that forest used to be, now there was nothing but a smoking desert.
糟了，他惊叫一声，马儿正拼命挣扎着扯动缠在一起的缰绳。
Oh, not good, he squeaked as the horses fought against the tangled reins.
Phaeton用尽最后的力气，一手接一手攀上皮绳，总算爬回战车，眼睁睁看着太阳把尼罗河的一大段蒸干了。
With a burst of desperate strength, Phaeton managed to climb the leather hand over hand and pull himself back into the chariot just in time to see the sun boil away a large section of the Nile River.
这下真完蛋了。
Definitely not good.
他猛拉缰绳，想让马儿重新整齐，结果反而缠得更乱了。
He yanked the reins, trying to get the horses back in order, but he only tangled them more.
四匹马现在全都被困住了。
All four were stuck now.
有两匹根本没法扇动它们巨大的翅膀。
Two couldn't flap their giant wings at all.
马车缓缓升上空中，靠着剩下两匹马拼命拍打翅膀悬在半空，但它们根本撑不住。
The chariot rose slowly in the air, hovered for a moment on the desperate flaps of the two remaining horses, but they couldn't do it alone.
马车一歪，又开始往下坠。
The chariot tipped and then began to fall again.
不行。
No.
不行。
No.
不行。
No.
法厄同尖叫起来，身体在空中疯狂打转，朝着地面直坠而下，飞马纠缠成一团，马车急速下落，四周烈日灼烧，一切都在无尽的颠簸中模糊成一片。
Phaeton's words turned into a scream as he spun wildly towards the ground, flying horses tangled, chariot plummeting, sun blazing all around in an endless lurching blur.
他肚子里翻江倒海，脸白得像纸一样，拼命忍着才没吐出来。
His stomach flipped and flopped, and his face went milk white, and it was all he could do not to be sick.
我老爸肯定气疯了。
My dad is gonna be so mad.
突然间，就像打了个喷嚏那样，一切静止了。
Then sudden as sneezing, everything froze.
法厄同眨了眨眼，从战车边缘往外张望。
Phaeton blinked, peering out from the rim of the chariot.
他是不是安全着陆了？
Had he managed to land safely?
可惜，他并没有。
Unfortunately, he had not.
没有。
No.
他依然悬在半空中。
He was still hovering in air.
他根本没落地。
He hadn't landed.
他被多重困住了。
He'd been caught in more ways than one.
他父亲正悬在半空托着马车，脸色比以往任何时候都更愤怒。
Holding the chariot aloft in midair was his father, looking angrier than he'd ever been.
更糟的是，他旁边站着宙斯，众神之首。
Worse, next to him was Zeus, leader of all the Greek gods.
赫利俄斯已经够生气了，但宙斯比他更怒。
And as angry as Helios looked, Zeus was even angrier.
雷电在他掌心跃动，双眼如燃烧的炭火般逼人。
Thunder and lightning danced in his palms, and his eyes smote like coals.
玩得开心吗？
Have a nice ride?
赫利俄斯问道。
Helios asked.
法厄同回答说。
Phaeton replied.
我本该把你从天上轰下来。
I should blast you out of the sky.
你把一片森林烧成了沙漠。
You burned a forest into a desert.
你把尼罗河的一部分都蒸干了。
You boiled away part of the Nile.
我，宙斯气得话都说不全了。
I Zeus sputtered, too mad to finish.
赫利俄斯把手搭在宙斯的肩膀上。
Helios laid a hand on Zeus's shoulder.
他终究还是我的儿子。
He's still my son.
不如来个不带雷电的惩罚？
How about a punishment that doesn't involve any lightning strikes?
就这一次。
Just this once.
行吧，宙斯嘟囔道。
Fine, grumbled Zeus.
但要是我再看见你靠近太阳战车，你就完了，法厄同尖声说。
But if I ever see him anywhere near the sun chariot again, you won't, squeaked Phaeton.
你最好别再有下次，宙斯怒吼道。
I better not, roared Zeus.
接着，一声惊雷炸响，他便消失了。
And then with a peel of thunder, he was gone.
而他信守了诺言，赫利俄斯惩罚了法厄同，只是没有用任何雷电。
And true to his word, Helios punished Phaeton, though he didn't use any lightning.
这男孩被禁止再返回奥林匹斯山，余生都生活在人间。
The boy was banned from returning to Mount Olympus and lived the rest of his days among the human world.
一开始还真有点不适应，但后来嘛，他当上了一名普通的马车夫。
It was a little hard to get used to at first, but eventually, well, he found a job as a chariot driver, a regular chariot driver.
他后来又撞了几回，但玩得特别开心。
He had a few more crashes, but a whole lot of fun.
最重要的是，他再也没烧过森林，也没把任何河流煮沸。
And most importantly, he didn't burn up any more forests or boil any rivers.
一次都没有。
Not even one.
一次都没再发生。
Not even once.
不过，他偶尔会撞上一两个老邮箱。
Though, he was known to hit an ancient mailbox or two.
故事结束。
The end.
