用英语简介美人鱼的内容

The movie Pirates of Carribean is very popular around the world the latest series presents the audience the beautiful creature of mermaid

In people’s eyes the image of mermaid presents beauty and kindness because we have read the story Little Mermaid The heroine sacrifices herself to save her love But in modern movie mermaid presents the evil thing who will sing a song to seduce people and then eat them

It is so differen from what we have learned from the fairy tales The meaning of this word is the monster in the water so mermaid actually is not something beautiful but evil It is indeed has the attractive appearance while with bad heart

传说美人鱼是以腰部为界，大多数为上半身是美丽的女人，下半身是披着鳞片的漂亮鱼尾，整个躯体，既富有诱惑力，又便于迅速逃遁。有雌雄公母之分，它们没有灵魂，像海水一样无情；声音通常像其外表一样，具有欺骗性；一身兼有诱惑、虚荣、美丽、残忍和绝望的爱情等多种特性。

既能在水底中生活，也能短暂待在干燥的陆地上生存，加上由于近代人的设想，还能水陆两栖，甚至拥有魔法能力。现代有众多**、动画片、歌曲等形式都以此为名。

相关传说：

很多民间传说中都提到美人鱼与人类结婚的故事。大多数情况下，男子偷走了人鱼的帽子或腰带，或是梳子和镜子。这样东西被妥善藏好的时候，人鱼会跟他一起生活，一旦被她找到自己的失物，她就会回到海里。

一般情况下，人鱼对人类而言是很危险的。他们赠与的礼物会带来不幸，比如引发洪水之类的灾难。在旅途中看到人鱼是沉船的恶兆。他们有时渴望看到凡人被淹死，举一个有名的例子：莱茵河的萝莱莉[Lorelei]。

有的时候，他们引诱年轻人跟他们一同到水下生活，在康沃尔和英格兰的一些教堂的长椅上就雕刻着这样的故事。

西南太平洋群岛上的美拉尼西亚人也有类似的神话传说，他们的美人鱼名为“阿达拉”（adaro），上半身为人形，下半身为鱼形，居住在太阳里，经由彩虹来到地球，平时隐匿于海上的龙卷风之中。

不同于其它美人鱼的是，阿达拉在美拉尼西亚人眼里是一种危险的生物，他们会用飞鱼袭击人类，使他们昏迷不醒甚至死亡。
