She was the nymph or the she-goat that nursed Zeus. After her death she arose to the heavens and became the constellation Capricorn.
[解说] 1. “She was the nymph or the she-goat that nursed Zeus”：她是哺养 Zeus 的女神或母羊。 “nymph”是山林、河海、泉水一带的女神。 “she-goat”是「母山羊」，公山羊则为 “he-goat”。
2. “After her death she arose to the heavens”：死后，她升到天上。 “arise, arose, arisen”是比 “rise, rose, risen”更文雅的用语。 “heaven”不指「天堂」而指「天空」时，常用复数 “heavens”。
3. “and became the constellation Capricorn”：而变成魔羯星座。 “constellation”：星座。“Capricorn”：魔羯宫。
注意： “the Tropic of Capricorn” 是「冬至线、南回归线」， “the Tropic of Cancer” 则是「夏至线、北回归线」。
