答疑：天地一沙鸥wphttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201205/201205110934416422016.mp3Has anyone ever tried to get your goat? To "get your goat" is an expression. It means to make you mad. A good friend might tell you: "Don't worry about what that person said. He was just trying to get your goat."
But there are plenty of good reasons to get a goat -- and not just for milk or meat. The animals can help control weeds. They can be friendly with children and adults. And they can make money with their hair.
Cashmere goats produce cashmere. Angora goats produce -- no, not angora. Angora fiber comes from rabbits. Angora goats produce mohair. Mohair is used to make clothing, carpets and other products.
The goats came from the Anatolian plains. Their name comes from the Turkish city of Ankara. The Mohair Council of America says the first Angora goats arrived in the United States in 1849. Seven females and two males were imported.
Today the United States is one of the world's leading producers of mohair. The other top sources are South Africa and Turkey.90% of the mohair from the United States comes from Texas.有没有人曾经试图得到你的山羊？“得到你的山羊”是一种表达，意思是把你激怒。一个好朋友可能会告诉你“不要在意那个人的话。他只是想惹怒你。”
然而，人们有充足的理由去得到一只山羊——这并不仅仅是为了得到羊奶和羊肉。山羊有助于控制杂草的生长，而且山羊对小孩和大人都很友好。人们可以用山羊毛来挣钱。
开士米山羊能产出开士米山羊绒。安哥拉山羊产出的东西—— 不对，不是安哥拉毛。安哥拉纤维（兔毛纤维）产于兔子。安哥拉山羊产出安哥拉羊毛。安哥拉山羊毛用来做衣服，地毯以及其他制品。
安哥拉山羊来自安纳托利亚平原。他们的名字来自土耳其的一个叫安卡拉（土耳其首都）的城市。美国羊毛委员会说安哥拉山羊最早在1849年来到美国，包括7只雌羊和2只雄羊。
如今美国是世界安哥拉山羊毛主要出产国之一。其他主要产地是南非和土耳其。美国90%的安哥拉羊毛产自德克萨斯州。
