后羿射日的神话故事（后羿射日的神话故事全文）

玉皇大帝又十个儿子，他们是金乌（就是太阳）每天轮流在天上给人们光明和温暖，有一天他们集体都出先在了天上，所以他们给人们带来的不在是光明与温暖而是再难，人们拜祭他们希望他们只留下一个，但是他们不愿意，给人间带来了灾害，人们缺水，庄家干旱，这时一个叫后羿的年轻人，他有很大的力气，所以就拿起弓箭把其中的九个太阳给射了下来，最后一个求后羿放了他，因为如果后羿把所有的金乌都射死，以后人间就没有了光明。

后羿在的时候，天上有十个太阳，烧得草木，庄稼枯焦，后羿为了救百姓，一连射下九个太阳，从此地上气候适宜，万物得以生长。他又射杀死了猛兽毒蛇，为民除害。民间因而奉他为“箭神”。

Long long ago,there were ten suns.Each day,one of them set out on his jouney across the sky,but one day all ten suns set out together.As a result,the world was being destroyed by heat until Yi was sent to save the world.

Yi closed his eyes for some seconds because of the burning sunlight.Then he placed an arrow against the bow-string anddrew it to the full.Then he let go his arrow.A golden crow,one of the ten suns,was killed and fell down.

Still the earth was burning .Nine suns remained.The watchers were still blind with the pain of the heat.Yi loaded,drew and let go.When the ninth fell from the sky,Yi was told that the world needed one sun to give its warmth and light.Thus,the sky became clear and blue again.Since then,the only sun rises in the morning on his journey across the sky every day
