When doing so, she held Achilles by the ankle and therefore immersed every part of the baby’s body except the heel which she held in her hand. So the unwashed heel became the only weakness in Achilles’ body. At last, Achilles died of a wound after being hit by an arrow (箭) on that heel. Peter was the best athlete in the competition and everyone believed he would win the champion. But he lost it finally. After the competition, he said with great remorse(万分懊悔): “ Carelessness is my Achilles’ heel! I must get rid of it.” An example: Nowadays, “Achilles’ heel” is used to refer to the fatal weakness.
