看美剧学英语典故:Achilles heel
Achilles Heel:it refers to the vulnerability or weakness of a person, despite overall strength or capability. The phrase originates from Greek mythology, specifically the story of Achilles, a heroic figure known for his invulnerability except for his heel. His heel became his Achilles’ heel when he was fatally wounded there during the Trojan War. (弱点、要害、死穴、软肋)
中文释义:这个短语源自希腊神话,具体来说是阿喀琉斯的故事。阿喀琉斯,是凡人英雄珀琉斯和海洋女神忒提斯的爱子。忒提斯为了让儿子炼成“金钟罩”,在他刚出生时就将其倒提着浸进冥河。遗憾的是,阿喀琉斯被母亲捏住的脚后跟却不慎露在水外,在全身留下了唯一一处“死穴”。后来,阿喀琉斯被帕里斯一箭射中脚踝而死去。后人常以“阿喀琉斯之踵”譬喻这样一个道理:即使是再强大的英雄,也有致命的死穴或软肋。
