“生肖”和“本命年”的说法(在线收听) |
鼠 Rat (/Mouse) 牛 Ox
虎 Tiger
兔 Rabbit (/Hare)
龙 Dragon
蛇 Snake
马 Horse
羊 Goat (/Ram/Sheep)
猴 Monkey
鸡 Rooster
狗 Dog
猪 Boar (/Pig)
如果要说“我属狗”,那就是:
I was born in the Year of the Dog.
I was born under the Year of the Dog.
介词用in或under都可以。
正因为有生肖纪年的习俗,于是在我们这里有了“本命年”的概念。在英语里,“本命年” 的地道说法是year of fate或者animal year,此外也可以看到把“本命年”翻译为birth year和big year的。
所以“今年是我的本命年”用英语来说就是:
This year is my year of fate.
This year is my animal year.
This year is my birth year.
This year is my big year. |
