8、The Treasures Of Tuatha De Danann
丹努之子的宝藏
Irish Mythology
爱尔兰神话
In Irish folklore, the Tuatha De Danann were the children of the goddess Dana. The Tuatha De Danann came to Ireland from a distant place not known to man on May Day to grant the people of Ireland sacred knowledge. They arrived with four wise men, each of whom came from four distant cities and each of whom bore a gift for the people.
在爱尔兰的民间传说中，丹努之子是女神Dana的子孙。在五朔节那一天，丹努之子从无人知晓的遥远之地来到爱尔兰。他们之中有4名智者，分别来自四个遥远的城市。每个智者都携带着一个宝物，作为爱尔兰人民的礼物。
The first gift, which came from the city Falias, was the enigmatic Lia Fail, or the Stone of Destiny—a stone that would cry out under the throne of the true king of Ireland. The second artifact came from Gorias, and that gift was the powerful Sword of Light, an unbeatable sword whose story bears some similarities with Excalibur. From the city of Findias came the Spear of Lug, a mighty spear that would be a great gift to any warrior and would keep him safe on the battlefield. The last gift came from the city of Murias, a great cauldron from which no one left unsatisfied when it cooked meals.
第一个宝物来自Falias城，是谜一般的命运之石（Lia Fail），它会在爱尔兰真正的国王脚下发出欢呼。第二个宝物来自Gorias城，是充满力量的光明之剑，一把无法被击败的剑，有关它的传说和誓约胜利之剑（Excalibur）的故事类似。第三个宝物来自Findias城，是强大的战神之矛（Spear of Lug），它是战士的伟大礼物，会在战场上保护他的安全。最后一个礼物来自Murias城，一个永不耗尽的大锅。当用它煮饭时，没有人会挨饿。
