The Bull,the zodiacalsign that controls “legs and thighs”(主宰人体中小腿和大腿的)金牛星座,金牛宫。(根据古老的医疗占星术,黄道十二宫中的每一个星宫都主宰人体的某些部分。或云金牛宫主宰小腿和大腿。) △Tw. 1. 3. 148 (137): “What shall we do else?were we not born under Taurus?”除了这个,我们还有什么事好做? 咱们不是生在“金牛星”下面吗? (按:意即生来就该跳舞。因此下文Sir Aguecheek所说的sides and heart“腰和心”错误。一说Sir Toby也错,Taurus应主宰neck andthroat “颈与喉”。)
