According to Greek mythology, all bad things from Pandora's Box. The story of Pandora's box started with Prometheus. He was a very smart and strong god. One day, he stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. The gods were angry because they did not want people to have the power of fire.

 

根据希腊神话,所有不好的事物皆来自于潘多拉的盒子。潘多拉盒子的故事从普罗米修斯说起:普罗米修斯是一位非常聪明且强壮的神;有一天,他从众神手中偷走了火并且送给人类使用。众神非常地愤怒,因为他们不想要人类拥有火的力量。

 

So, Zeus came up with a plan to punish Prometheus. He made Pandora from clay. He made her look beautiful, and thought Prometheus would fall in love with her. Then, Pandora could control him. However, Zeus's plan fail.

 

因此,宙斯想出了一个惩罚普罗米修斯的计划:他用黏土创造了潘多拉。宙斯赐予潘多拉美貌,并认为普罗米修斯会爱上她,接着潘多拉便能控制普罗米修斯。然而,宙斯的计划却失败了
