1、2021/6/71Everglades美国佛罗里达州南部的亚热带克拉莎草沼泽地区，这是一条最宽处达80公里但一般深不到0.3公尺(1尺)的“草河”，面积超过11,100平方公里。河水经由该地区向南缓慢地流到与西南部墨西哥湾和南部佛罗里达湾相连的红树林沼泽。沼泽地向东延伸到包括迈阿密都会区在内的狭窄沙洲附近，向西与大赛普里斯沼泽汇流。大沼泽地的英文名“Everglades”是佛罗里达州独有的名称。“glade”用于指森林中长满草的开阔地或者潮湿的沼泽地；“ever”可能是用来形容当地的沼泽地区似乎一眼无际。2021/6/722021/6/732021/6/742021/6/752021/6/76

12、歌声把过往的船只引向该岛，然后撞上礁石船毁人亡。过往的海员和船只都受到迷惑走向毁灭，无一幸免。奥德修斯Odysseus遵循女神喀耳斯Circe的忠告。为了对付塞壬姐妹，他采取了谨慎的防备措施。船只还没驶到能听到歌声的地方，奥德修斯就令人把他拴在桅杆上，并吩咐手下用蜡把他们的耳朵塞住。他还告诫他们通过死亡岛时不要理会他的命令和手势。不久石岛就进入了他们的视线。奥德修斯听到了迷人的歌声。歌声如此令人神往，他绝望地挣扎着要解除束缚，并向随从叫喊着要他们驶向正在繁花茂盛的草地上唱歌的海妖姐妹，但没人理他。海员们驾驶船只一直向前，直到最后再也听不到歌声。这时他们才给奥德修斯松绑，取出他们耳朵中的蜡。这次塞壬海妖们算是白唱了歌。三姐妹中的老大帕耳塞洛珀Partherope深深地爱慕着奥德修斯。当他的船只走过后，她就投海自尽了。2021/6/7222021/6/723部分资料从网络收集整理而来，供大家参考，感谢您的关注！
