　　1. 阿基琉斯之踵(Achilles' Heel)

　　典故背景介绍：When Achilleswas a baby, it was foretold that he would die young. To prevent his death, his mother took him to the River Styx, which was supposed to offer powers of invulnerability, and dipped his body into the water; however, as Thetis was held Achilles by the heel, his heel was not washed over by the water of the magical river. Achilles grew up to be a man of war who survived many great battles. One day, a poisonous arrow shot at him was lodged in his heel, killing him shortly afterwards --希腊神话英雄唯一能被刺伤的地方，他出生后，母亲海洋女神握着他的脚跟在冥河里浸泡，全身上下金刚不死，除了被握住的脚踝，他的脚踝也成了他唯一的致命伤。

　　真题再现2: automobile and our life

　　e.g.The increasing emergency/availability of automobile coming at an affordable price for most people not only makes our life more convenient, but also propels the economic development. Unfortunately, the rising emission and heavy traffic caused by it is seen as its Achilles' heel.

　　2. 达摩克利斯之剑(the sword of Damocles)

　　典故背景介绍: Damocles was pandering to Dionysius, his king, and exclaimed to him that Dionysius was truly fortunate as a great man of power and authority, surrounded by magnificence. In response, Dionysius offered to switch places with Damocles so that Damocles could taste that very fortune firsthand. Damocles quickly and eagerly accepted the king's proposal. Damocles sat down in the king's throne surrounded by every luxury, but Dionysius arranged that a huge sword should hang above the throne, held at the pommelonly by a single hair of a horse's tail. Damocles finally begged the king that he be allowed to depart because he no longer wanted to be so fortunate, realizing that with great fortune and power comes also great danger

　　寓意：指安逸祥和背后所存在的杀机和危险(hidden/potential risk/dangers).

　　适用情况:空虚落寞挫败感相对于对毫无规律无节制的生活方式; 唯分数论对学校教育、对学生综合素质的发展; 生态环境恶化及保护对经济发展、人们生活方式的改善(家用汽车的普及、一次性饭盒、塑料袋的使用)
