He studied myths from all over the world and published a book called 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces,'
他研究世界神话，出版了一本名为《千面英雄》的书，
retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth, or Hero's Journey.
书中重述了好几个故事，解释每个故事是如何表现一元神话或英雄之旅。
So, what is the 'hero's journey'? Think of it as a cycle.

Joseph Campbell said, 'In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek.'

What is the symbolic cave you fear to enter? Auditions for the school play? Baseball tryouts? Love?
你害怕的那个洞穴是什么呢？学校的戏剧公演？篮球队的选秀赛？谈恋爱？
