She was the nymph or the she-goat that nursed Zeus. After her death she arose to the heavens and became the constellation Capricorn.
[解說]
1. “She was the nymph or the she-goat that nursed Zeus”：她是哺養 Zeus 的女神或母羊。 “nymph”是山林、河海、泉水ㄧ帶的女神。 “she-goat”是「母山羊」，公山羊則為 “he-goat”。
2. “After her death she arose to the heavens”：死後，她升到天上。 “arise, arose, arisen”是比 “rise, rose, risen”更文雅的用語。 “heaven”不指「天堂」而指「天空」時，常用複數 “heavens”。
3. “and became the constellation Capricorn”：而變成魔羯星座。 “constellation”：星座。“Capricorn”：魔羯宮。
注意： “the Tropic of Capricorn” 是「冬至線、南回歸線」， “the Tropic of Cancer” 則是「夏至線、北回歸線」。
