模仿文本： 

Once upon a time, according to ancient Greek mythology¹, the goddess of Dawn fell in love with a Trojan prince called Tithonus. She was so besotted with him that she went to Zeus, the king of the gods, to ask that Tithonus be made immortal². Zeus agreed, but Dawn had been foolish, she'd asked for and received eternal life for her lover, she'd forgotten to ask for  eternal youth. The result was that Tithonus just got older and older and older, though he never died.

 

译文：根据古希腊神话，很久以前，黎明女神爱上了特洛伊王子提托诺斯。深陷爱河的她去找众神之王宙斯，要求他赐予提托诺斯永恒的生命。宙斯答应了，但黎明女神不够精明——她要求让提托诺斯“长生不死”，却忘了让他“长生不老”。其结果是，提托诺斯不会死去，但是却越变越老。
