KO 大魔王：英语语法通关计划KO 大魔王：英语语法通关计划07 米德加尔德07 米德加尔德Below Asgard ， in the center of the world, is Midgard. It is also called the“Middle-Earth” which is inhabited by humans.在阿斯加德的正下方，世界的正中心，就是米德加尔德了。它也被称为“中土尘世”，也是就是人类居住的地方。Midgard is surrounded by a huge ocean that is impassable.The Ocean is occupiedby a huge sea serpent, the Midgard Serpent (Jrmungandr).中土的四周环绕着无边无际的海洋。海中蛰伏着一条巨大的海蛇，名曰耶梦加德，也被叫做“尘世巨蟒”。The snake is so huge that it encircles the world entirely, and biting its own tail.此蛇如此之大，它的身体可以完全将中土尘世环绕起来，首尾咬合。对，你没记错，这条庞然大物，就是 Loki 洛基的第二个妖孩子，它的哥哥Fenrir 巨狼芬里尔在我们第一期节目中已经出现过啦。Odin and his two brothers Vili and Ve created the humans from an Ash log, theman and from an elm log, the woman.奥丁和他的两个兄弟威利和菲共同创造了人类的始祖，一段白蜡树成为了男人，而女人则是来源于一段榆树木头。Odin breathed life into them, Vili gave them the ability to think and the sense oftouch, and Ve gave them speech, body language, and the senses of sight andhearing.奥丁给木头吹入了仙气儿，威利给予人类思考的能力与触觉，而菲则使他们学会说话、使用肢体语言，并赋予人类视觉与听觉。从此人类便在米得加尔德，中途尘世中繁衍生息。The usage of Middle-earth was popularized by Old English scholar J. R. R.Tolkien in his The Lord of the Rings and other fantasy works.“中土”一词，当初是由英国语言学家托尔金老爷爷给带红的，他写的魔界系列中使用了 Middle-Earth 这个词，正是来源于 Midgard。
