英语翻译
The word hero can be confusing,for it has several meanings.It is often applied to ordinary people who happen to perform an act of great courage—a fireman who saves someone from a burning house at the risk of his own life,for example.Then,the principal character of a play,a novel,or a film is known as the hero of the story,even if he is not particularly brave.But the heroes and heroines that we are going to consider now constitute a third group.They are the giants,the out of the ordinary figures whose superiority fills our hearts with admiration and awe; the men and women who give us a high example to follow,a purpose in life,or sometimes just a dream,because they present the person that we would like to be.
