He made his way through the glorious multitude ,redolent of sweat ,cheap co- logne and cash. He sashayed up to the cashier's window ,pulled out his wallet , and extracted several crisp hundreds. Not even noticing the age or gender of the teller behind the cage--too busy taking in the passing parade--he tossed his bills down on the smooth marble and saw them replaced by a neat pile of c- hips. He swept the chips up ;『they fell as naturally into his hand as the ap- ple Adam took from Eve.』『Ah ,the wealth of choices. The cornucopia of pleasures.』倒數第二個引號我理解成:就像亞當從夏娃那摘頻果一樣,那些籌碼很自然地進到他的手裡是某種譬喻法嗎??似乎是在形容他的手很靈巧,尤其是他將那些籌碼收到手裡的動作. 想知道亞當從夏娃那摘頻果的典故是甚麼...不太懂他這樣譬喻的意思最後一個引號我就完全看不懂他的文意在何處了... 只知道cornucopia 是宙斯的羊的羊角(google查的) 也是譬喻嗎?? 麻煩請板上專業大大們能解釋一下還有介紹一下典故之類的~~非常謝謝哦^^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.127.21.229
