1、巴斯蒂特在白天和夜晚的職責分別是什麼？

2、為什麼貓對古埃及人來說非常重要？

Cats were very important to the ancient Egyptians and were even considered to be demi-deities. Not only did they protect the crops and slow the spread of disease by killing rodents, they were also thought to be the physical form of the goddess Bastet.

貓對古埃及人來說非常重要，甚至被認為是半神。它們不僅能保護莊稼，還能殺死齧齒動物來減緩疾病的傳播，同時貓也被視為女神巴斯蒂特的化身。

Bastet was the goddess of protection, pleasure, and the bringer of good health. She had the head of a cat and a slender female body.Bastet was the daughter of Ra, sister of Sekhmet, the wife of Ptah, and the mother of Mihos. Since the Second Dynasty, Bastet was worshiped as a deity, most commonly in Lower Egypt. Her form and powers changed over the years.

巴斯蒂特是守護、愉悅和帶來健康的女神。她有著貓頭和苗條的女性身軀。巴斯蒂特是太陽神拉的女兒，戰爭女神塞赫麥特的妹妹，造物神卜塔的妻子，獅形神米霍斯的母親。自第二王朝以來，巴斯蒂特被當作神來崇拜，在下埃及最普遍。這些年來，她的形態和力量發生了變化。

It was believed that every day she would ride through the sky with her father, the sun god Ra. As his boat pulled the sun through the sky she would watch over and protect him. At night, she would turn into a cat to protect Ra from his greatest enemy, the serpent Apep.

人們相信，每天她都會和她的父親太陽神拉一起在天空中穿行。當太陽神的船拉著太陽穿過天空時，巴斯蒂特會照看並保護父親。到了晚上，她會變成一隻貓，保護太陽神不受他最大的敵人——毒蛇阿匹普的傷害。

Due to her protective duties, she was nicknamed the Lady of the East, Goddess of the Rising Sun, and the Sacred and All Seeing Eye. She is also known as the Goddess of the Moon and was thought to be the eye of the moon and the eye of Ra. Bastet is still worshiped today and her protection is believed by some to be cast over modern cats.

由於具有保護的職責，她又被稱為東方女士，旭日女神，以及神聖全能的眼睛。她也被稱為月亮女神，被認為是月亮之眼和太陽神之眼。時至今日，巴斯蒂特仍然受到人們的敬奉，一些人認為現代貓也受到了巴斯蒂特的保護。
