中国神话故事,英语版,简短?

One day, when Houyi was out, Chang’e secretly swallowed the potion(一剂) in the hope that she would become immortal. The result was quite unexpected: she felt herself becoming light, so light that she flew up in spite of herself, drifting and floating in the air, until she reached the palace of the moon.

She is regarded by later generations as the goddess of the moon.

This beautiful story has always been liked by the Chinese and provides a favourite allusion(暗示) for poets and writers.

Chairman Mao Zedong’s poem in memory of his martyred(有牺牲精神的) wife Yang Kaihui has these well – known lines:

The lonely moon goddess spreads her ample sleeves

To dance for these loyal souls in infinite space.

Here, in the Chinese original, the name Chang’e is used instead of “moon goddess”.

The figure of Chang’e, a beauty dressed in the elegant garments of a bygone(过去) age floating towards the moon, naturally supplies unending inspiration for painters and sculptors.
