Joseph of Arimathea, the man who gave up his own tomb so that Jesus could be buried in it, kept the Grail and collected Jesus’ blood in it when Jesus was put to death on a cross. Joseph was wupposed to have taken it to Britain, where the cup was passed down from generation to generation in his family. Because the Holy Grail had belonged to Jesus, it had magic powers. It could supply food for those without sin, and make people who were not pure enough blind or mute when they came close to it. Later, however, when the Grail fell into the hands of a man who was evil and unworthy of owning it, it disappeared. One day, when the Round Table Knights gathered in a hall in Arthur’s castle, the Grail appeared for a moment in the air accompanied with lightning, though most of the knights could not see it. Then 150 knights decided to sarch throughout Britain for the Grail. The knights went through many dangerous adventures during their search. Lancelot failed in the search, because of the sin of his love affair with Guenevere; Gawain gave up the search. Only three knights---Bors, Galahad, and Perceval---were pure enough in life to find the Grail in the castle of Corbenic. They took the Grail to the distant city of Sarras. There, after Galahad died, Bors and Perceval saw the Grail rise into heaven. According to the legend, no one has been seen the Holy Grail since that time.   圣杯的故事 传说圣杯是耶稣在最后的晚餐上使用过的杯子。圣经里讲，亚利马太的约瑟领取了耶稣的遗体，将他葬在自己的墓穴里。据说就是这个约瑟保存了耶稣的杯子，并在耶稣被钉上十字架时用杯子承接了耶稣的血液。约瑟把杯子带到了不列颠，当做家中的传世之宝。由于杯子是耶稣的，所以有神力，可以为清白人提供无穷无尽的食粮，但若是无德的人接近它，不是变成瞎子就是变成哑巴。后来，由于圣杯落入恶人之手，便消失得无影无踪了。 有一天，众骑士在亚瑟的宫廷中聚会时，圣杯伴随着雷霆出现在空中，虽然大多数骑士无法看见它。此后150名骑士出发到不列颠各地去寻找圣杯，历尽千辛万苦。朗斯洛未能找到圣杯，因为他与圭内维尔有暧昧关系；高文也中途作罢，只有三个骑士——博斯、珀西瓦尔和加拉哈德由于纯洁无暇在戈比尼克城堡见到了圣杯。他们把圣杯带到萨拉斯城。加拉哈德死后，圣杯升天，以后再没有人见过它。 题外话：有两部影片涉及圣杯，一部是美国片，斯皮尔伯格执导、哈里森•福特主演，名为《印第安纳•琼斯与最后的圣战》，或译《圣战奇兵》，1989年上映。影片讲印第安纳•琼斯寻找圣杯的故事。另一部是英国喜剧片《芒蒂•皮松与圣杯》，1975年上映。 双语故事:加拉哈德爵士 Sir Galahad Sir Galahad was the noblest and purest of the Knights of the Round Table. Because he is entirely free of sin, Galahad succeeded in finding the Holy Grail while many other knight of King Arthur failed. Galahad was the son of the knight Lancelot and the lady Elaine. He was brought up by a nun until, at age 15, he was introduced to his father, who made him a knight and accompanied him to Arthur’s court. There Galahad went directly to the seat called the Siege Perilous, which was reserved for the knight so pure that he would someday find the Holy Grail. All others who had tried to take the seat had been swallowed up by the earth. At the time the knights there found a great stone with a sword stuck in it. On the sword were these words:“No one shall draw me out of this stone except the Knight at whose side I am to hang. And he must be the best knight in the world.” Many of the knights tried, but none could draw out the sword. But Sir Galahad drew it easily from the stone. During the search for the Grail, Galahad showed himself to be a superb knight. He succeeded in finding the holy object not because he was strong or skillful in fighting, but because he was pure in heart. After finding the Grail with two other knights, Percival and Bors, Galahad became King of Sarras. He died one year later.   加拉哈德爵士 加拉哈德爵士是圆桌骑士中最纯洁高尚的一个。由于他清白无瑕，最终找到了圣杯。而其他大多数骑士则无功而返。 加拉哈德是朗斯洛与伊莲的儿子，由一个修女抚养大，15岁时时见到朗斯洛，朗斯洛把他训练成骑士，带到亚瑟王的宫廷里。加拉哈德见到圆桌旁的“危座”，径直走过去坐下来。“危座”是留给能找到圣杯的最圣洁骑士的，以前曾有人尝试入座，都被大地吞了下去。此时，骑士们发现一块巨石，巨石中插有一把宝剑，剑上刻有铭文：“此剑属于世上的最佳骑士，只有他才能拔出此剑，佩带身边。”很多人试过，但只有加拉哈德一人不费吹灰之力就拔出了宝剑。 在寻找圣杯的过程中，加拉哈德做的每一件事都使他无愧于最佳骑士的名声。他的成功并非因为他有过人的力量和武艺，而是因为他的圣洁。与另外两位骑士博斯和珀西瓦尔找到圣杯后，加拉哈德当上了萨拉斯的国王，一年后死去。 题外话：到底是中世纪的传奇，更看重圣洁，而不是蛮悍。与现代美国电影中的英雄大不相同 大家网，大家的！ http://www.topsage.com 更多精品在大家！ 更多精品在大家！ http://www.topsage.com 大家网，大家的！
