摩羯座的由来

　　摩羯座又被叫做山羊座，魔羯座的星座形象是上身为山羊而下半身是鱼尾的神兽，相传在希腊的神话之中，森林之神潘(Pan)的长相如山羊，但是他的笛子却能吹出很美妙的音乐，他音乐上的才华使得众人和神都忘了他那像山羊的长相。一次诸神的聚会中，潘又被邀请为众神演奏美妙的乐声，但没想到却吸引了一个长相很可怕的海怪来聆听，海怪的出现，令众神大惊失色，潘也吓得逃入河中，但由于过度惊慌失措，只是下半身化作了鱼尾，从此化作了天上的摩羯星座。

　　Travel Tips for Capricornians　给摩羯座旅游的小贴士　　

　　Whatever the Sea Goat chooses to do when traveling it's likely to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Organized tours are most ‚appealing to these sensible and methodical sorts, so museum tours or historical treks are always on their list. Taking their time while traveling also means allowing for a good book over a cup of tea or simply daydreaming on a day-long cruise. Capricorns aren't about to engage in any far-flung adventures, preferring instead to take a risk on an unknown bottle of wine. "Now that's living!" they'll say, feeling plenty satisfied with themselves. Although fairly steady by nature, Capricornians enjoy some competition along with team sports. Volleyball at the beach would be fun, as would a round of golf with the traveling gang, always good for getting those competitive juices flowing.

　　不管魔羯座选择在旅行时做什么，都会放慢脚步来享受。组织的旅行吸引那些明智和相信方法的人，所以参观博物馆或者历史遗迹是他们的钟爱。旅行时不慌不忙也体现在边喝茶边读一本好书或者只是一天的行程中作白日梦。魔羯座并不打算参与那些漫长遥远的冒险活动，他们更愿意来品尝一瓶不知名的葡萄酒。他们会自我满足地说：“这就是生活！”尽管他们生来很踏实，魔羯座却很喜爱团体性运动的竞争。沙滩排球，和旅伴们来一轮高尔夫对他们来说都很有趣，也常常可以激发他们的竞争力。
