Icarus and Daedalus (2) |

依卡魯斯的墜落 (2) |
|

Daedalus and Icarus carefully climbed onto a windowsill. Spreading their homemade wings, they leapt into the air. Daedalus worried about his son, though, and tried to show him the correct way to fly. "Remember, you must follow me!" he called out one last time, looking back at Icarus. |
|
| |
Icarus was having too much fun to heed his father's warnings. "Look at me!" Icarus shouted. "I can fly like an eagle! I can touch the Sun!" He soared higher and higher. Down on the ground, people spotted the pair and mistook them for gods traveling across the sky. |
|
| |
Daedalus advised Icarus to fly at a more moderate height, but his son had already flown too high to hear his father. The sun warmed Icarus's face, but it also melted the wax that held his wings together. |
|
| |
"Father, I'm falling. Save me!" he cried, but it was too late. Daedalus could only watch as his son fell into the dark sea and disappeared under the waves. Daedalus was heartbroken. Icarus had died because he did not listen to the wise words of his father. |

戴德魯斯和依卡魯斯小心翼翼地爬上窗簷。他們展開自製的翅膀，躍向空中。不過戴德魯斯很擔心兒子，試著教他正確的飛行方式。他回頭看依卡魯斯並最後一次呼喚著：「記住，你一定要跟著我！」 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
依卡魯斯玩得太高興而沒有注意父親的警告。依卡魯斯叫道：「你看我！我可以像老鷹一樣飛翔！我可以觸碰到太陽！」他往上越飛越高。地面上的人看到這對父子，誤以為是天神行經天空。 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
戴德魯斯勸告依卡魯斯飛在較適中的高度，但是他兒子已經飛得太高而聽不到父親說的話。太陽溫暖了依卡魯斯的臉龐，卻也融化了黏合翅膀的蠟。 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
他大喊著：「父親，我正在往下掉。救救我！」，但太遲了。戴德魯斯只能眼看著兒子墜入幽暗的海中，消失在海浪裡。戴德魯斯悲痛欲絕。依卡魯斯因為沒有聽從父親明智的建議而死。 |
