He was son of Zeus and the Arcadian nymph Callisto.
Zeus' wife, Hera, changed Callisto into a bear to show her animosity towards Zeus'
object of love. Out hunting, Arcas would have killed his mother, the bear,
if Zeus had not intervened and changed them into the constellations of the Great
and Little Bear. [解说] 1. “He was son of Zeus and the Arcadian nymph Callisto”：他是天王 Zeus 与 Arcadia 地方的女神 Callisto 所生的儿子。 “nymth”：山林、河海、泉水一带之女神。 2. “Zeus' wife, Hera, changed Callisto into a bear”： Zeus的妻子 Hera 把 Callisto 变成一只熊。 3. “to show her animosity towards Zeus' object of love”：为了表示她对 Zeus 的爱情目标所产生的怨恨。 “animosity”：憎恶、怨恨。 “object to love”：爱情目标。 4. “Out hunting” = When he was out hunting：(当他) 外出打猎时。 5. “Arcas would have killed his mother, the bear”： Arcas 将已杀死她母亲，也就是那只熊。 “would have killed”： 「将已杀死、但没杀死」 (此为假设法)。 6. “if Zeus had not intervened and changed them into the constellations of the Great and Little Bear”：如果 Zeus 没有介入而把他们变成大小熊星座。 “if ... had not intervened”： 「如果没有介入，其实有介入」 (此为假设用法)。 “intervene, intervention”：介入、干涉。 “constellation”：星座。 “The Great and Little Bear”：大小熊 (星座)。 [复习填充] Arcas was son of Zeus and the Arcadian n
