BBC环球慢速英语 第383期:触觉(4)

This was time to celebrate! The servants hurried to attend to their master. Midas's eyes grew wider and wider. The food looked wonderful! Mmmm what should he eat first? Maybe he should drink a little wine first. His servant poured the smooth red wine into a glass. He passed it to the King. But as the King lifted the glass to his mouth something happened. The wine turned to gold! King Midas was worried. He looked at the food. He reached out for a piece of the fine food in front of him. And - the same thing happened. The food turned to gold! Midas could not eat or drink! He tried again - and again. Finally only gold objects lay on the table before him. This was terrible! He must go and see Dionysus. He ran out of the house.
这是庆祝的时刻！仆人赶紧按照主人的吩咐去做事。迈达斯的眼睛睁得越来越大。食物看上去太棒了！嗯，他应该先吃哪道菜呢？也许他应该先喝点葡萄酒。他的仆人将香醇的红葡萄酒倒进了酒杯里。然后将酒杯递给国王。但是当国王接过酒杯举到自己嘴边时发生了一件事。那杯葡萄酒变成了金子！国王迈达斯非常担心。他看着那些美食。他拿起了面前的一块美食。然后同样的事情发生了。食物也变成了金子！迈达斯不能吃也不能喝！他试了一次又一次。最后，他面前的桌子上的美食和美酒全部变成了金子。这太糟糕了！他必须去见狄俄尼索斯。他跑出了房子。
