母山羊和她们的胡须
The She-Goats and Their Beards
母山羊向朱庇特要求长出和公山羊一样的胡子。公山羊听了之后很不开心,向朱庇特抱怨道:“如果这样的话,她们就和我们地位平等了。”朱庇特说:“不要在意这些!让他们拿着一个毫无用处的头衔到处吹嘘吧,反正他们没有你们的力量和勇气。”
不用去害怕那些外表和我们相似,但实际上不如我们的人。
The She-Goats having obtained a beard by request to Jupiter,the he-goats were sorely displeased and made complaint that the females equaled them in dignity.“Allow them,” said Jupiter,“to enjoy an empty honor and to assume the badge of your nobler sex,so long as they are not your equals in strength or courage.”
