章節(jié)摘錄
One of the worlds greatest poets was the Roman poet Vergil. He lived in Rome nearly two thousand years ago. His most famous poem is the Aeneid. Vergil was not only an interesting poet. He was also a most unusual man. In 43 B.C. Rome was ruled by three men: Augustus.Mark Antony and Lepidus. To make themselves popular with the soldiers, they took all land ——except for land used for cemeteries and mausoleums——away from the people. They gave all this land to soldiers when they returned from a——war Rome was fighting at that time. vergil was very worried thai his home on the Esquiline Rome would be taken from him. To prevent this from hapening, he decided to build a mausoleum on the land. A mausoleum is a building in which dead bodies are kept by their families. But whose dead body could he keep in the mausoleum? He soon solved his problem. He told all his friends that his favorite pet had died suddenly and invited them all to a big funeral for it. He even asked some of his more important friends to make speeches at the pets funeral. At the funeral, the dead pet was laid to rest in the huge mausoleum, which had cost the equivalent of over US$100,000 to build.
