THE SHE-GOATS AND THEIR BEARDS

Jupiter granted beards to the She-Goats at their own request, much to the disgust of the he-Goats, who considered this to be an unwarrantable invasion of their rights and dignities. So they sent a deputation to him to protest against his action. He, however, advised them not to raise any objections. “What's in a tuft of hair?” said he. “Let them have it if they want it. They can never be a match for you in strength.”

母山羊的胡须

应母山羊的要求，朱庇特让她们长了胡须，而公山羊认为这是对他们权力和尊严的无礼侵犯。于是他们派出一个使团前去找朱庇特抗议。而朱庇特却建议他们不要反对。“那一丛毛有什么用？如果她们想要，就让她们要吧。在力量上，她们永远都无法和你们匹敌。”
