沒有很多，我知道的有這么一些，希望能幫到你。
1,The Heel of Achilles 亦作 The Achilles' Heel 唯一弱點(diǎn)；薄弱環(huán)節(jié)；要害 = deadly / fatal/ mortalThe Heel of Achilles 直譯是"阿基里斯的腳踵"，是個(gè)在歐洲廣泛流行的國際性成語.阿基里斯是希臘 聯(lián)軍里最英勇善戰(zhàn)的驍將，傳說他是希臘密耳彌多涅斯人的國王珀琉斯和海神的女兒西蒂斯所生的兒子. 阿基里斯呱呱墜地以后，母親想使兒子健壯永生，把他放在火里鍛煉，又捏著他的腳踵倒浸在冥河（Styx） 圣水里浸泡.因此阿基里斯渾身象鋼筋鐵骨，刀槍不入，只有腳踵部位被母親的手捏住，沒有沾到冥河圣 水，成為他的唯一要害.在特洛伊戰(zhàn)爭中，太陽神阿波羅（Apollo）把阿基里斯的弱點(diǎn)告訴了特洛伊王子帕里 斯，阿基里斯終于被帕里斯誘到城門口，用暗箭射中他的腳踵，負(fù)傷而死.因此， the Achilles' heel，常用以表示 a weak point in something that is otherwise without fault; the weakest spot 等意思.E.g.:His Achilles' heel was his pride--he would get very angry if anyone criticized his work.2,Helen of Troy "特洛伊的海倫"，"紅顏禍水".Helen 是希臘的絕世佳人，美艷無比，嫁給希臘南部邦城斯巴達(dá)國王墨涅俄斯（Menelaus）為妻.后來， 特洛伊王子帕里斯奉命出事希臘，在斯巴達(dá)國王那里做客，他在愛與美之神阿芙羅狄蒂的幫助下，趁著墨 涅俄斯外出之際，誘走海倫，還帶走了很多財(cái)寶此事激起了希臘各部族的公憤，墨涅俄斯發(fā)誓說，寧死也要奪回海倫，報(bào)仇雪恨.為此，在希臘各城 邦英雄的贊助下，調(diào)集十萬大軍和 1180 條戰(zhàn)船，組成了希臘聯(lián)軍，公推墨涅俄斯的哥哥阿枷門農(nóng)（Agame mnon）為聯(lián)軍統(tǒng)帥，浩浩蕩蕩，跨海東征，攻打特洛伊城，企圖用武力奪回海輪.雙方大戰(zhàn) 10 年，死傷無 數(shù)，許多英雄戰(zhàn)死在沙場.甚至連奧林匹斯山的眾神也分成 2 個(gè)陣營，有些支持希臘人，有些幫助特洛伊 人，彼此展開了一場持久的惡斗.最后希臘聯(lián)軍采用足智多謀的奧德修斯（Odusseus）的"木馬計(jì)"，里應(yīng)外合 才攻陷了特洛伊.希臘人進(jìn)城后，大肆殺戮，帕里斯王子也被殺死，特洛伊的婦女，兒童全部淪為奴隸. 特洛伊城被掠奪一空，燒成了一片灰燼.戰(zhàn)爭結(jié)實(shí)后，希臘將士帶著大量戰(zhàn)利品回到希臘，墨涅俄斯搶回 了美貌的海倫重返故土.這就是特洛伊戰(zhàn)爭的起因和結(jié)局.正是由于海輪，使特洛伊遭到毀滅的悲劇，真 所謂"傾國傾城"，由此產(chǎn)生了 Helen of Troy 這個(gè)成語.所謂"特洛伊的海倫"，實(shí)質(zhì)上是財(cái)富和商業(yè)霸權(quán)的化身.中國歷史上也有過"妲己亡商"，"西施沼吳" 等傳說，以及唐明皇因?qū)櫁钯F妃而招致"安史之亂"，吳三桂"沖冠一怒為紅顏"等說法.漢語中有個(gè)"傾國傾 城"的成語（語出《漢書外戚傳》：'一顧傾人城，再顧傾人國'.）這里的"傾"字一語雙光，既可指美艷非 凡，令人傾倒；也可紙傾覆邦國.其含義與 Helen of troy 十分近似.在現(xiàn)代英語中，Helen of Troy 這個(gè)成語，除了表示 a beautiful girl or woman; a beauty who ruins he r country 等意義外，還可以用來表示 a terrible disaster brought by sb or sth you like best 的意思.3,Adam's apple 喉結(jié)根據(jù)《圣經(jīng)》記載，上帝造人之初，亞當(dāng)和夏娃無憂無慮地生活在伊甸園里.園里有一棵樹，結(jié)著許 多令人垂涎欲滴的果實(shí)——蘋果.上帝告誡兩人不要偷吃果實(shí)，可是他們聽信了蛇的讒言而抵擋不住誘惑， 偷吃了禁果.亞當(dāng)在驚慌失措中將一個(gè)蘋果核卡在喉嚨里，留下一個(gè)疙瘩.作為懲罰，上帝就讓這個(gè)蘋果 核永遠(yuǎn)留在他的喉嚨里，成為男性的喉結(jié).這個(gè)故事伴隨《圣經(jīng)》代代相傳，家喻戶曉.后來人們就用 Ad am's apple 表示"男人的喉結(jié)".來源考試365例句：I find that your Adam's apple isn't apparent. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)你的喉結(jié)不明顯.4,Narcissus從前有個(gè)男孩，他的名字叫做"Narcissus"（水仙）.身為一名天神的兒子他長得十分英俊.有許多愛 慕著他的少女向他示愛卻都被他拒絕了.在愛慕著他的眾多少女中有位美麗的仙女做做"Echo"（回音），由于 Echo 不能正常得說出想說的話而只能不斷得重復(fù)別人的言語所以她并不能清楚的告訴 Narcissus 她對他的 愛意.有天當(dāng) Narcissus 和他的幾個(gè)朋友在森林中漫步時(shí)和其他的朋友走失了.他喊到"有人在嗎？"Echo 也 說"有人在嗎？"Echo 上前想抱住 Narcissus 卻被 Narcissus 拒絕了 Echo 非常得傷心， 她跑到一個(gè)無人的山洞， 一直待到她的外形完全消失只剩下她的聲音能被人們所聽到.一名女神聽說了這件事.她非常得憤怒，并用神力使 Narcissus 愛上了他自己.當(dāng) Narcissus 在湖泊的 水邊看到自己的影子時(shí)，他頓時(shí)愛上了水中的人.他一直待在那湖邊，直到漸漸死去，在他死的地方長出 許多的野花，這種花被人們?nèi)∶凶?Narcissus（水仙花）.。
