Such a tactic would be futile rather like the daughters of danaus trying to fill a sieve and could only encourage greater self-indulgence .

这种办法是徒劳无益的，就像丹尼亚斯（danaus）的女儿们试图用筛子打水一样，只可能进一步助长自我放纵。

Aegyptus and his fifty sons drove danaus and his fifty daughters back to argos , the ancestral home of the race .

埃古普托斯和他的五十个儿子把达那俄斯和他的五十个女儿赶回他们家庭的祖籍阿尔戈斯。
