众所周知“猪”的英文名是pig,那疑问来了,猪年用英语怎么说?
可千万不要翻译为pig year!
猪年用英语大约说year of the Pig,或许year of the Boar。
某个生肖年:year of the (生肖)
十二生肖: rat (鼠), ox (牛), tiger (虎), rabbit (兔), dragon (龙), snake (蛇), horse (马), goat (羊), monkey(猴), rooster (鸡), dog (狗), pig
/Boar(猪)。
留心:为了避免歧义,鼠不必mouse;牛不必cow;羊不必sheep;鸡不必chicken。
假定想问别人是啥生肖的,可以怎么问呢?
A: What is your Chinese zodiac/animal sign?
B:你是属啥的?
A: My Chinese zodiac/animal sign is Pig.
B:我属猪。
也可以说:
A: What Chinese zodiac/animal sign were you born under?
A: I was born under/in the year of the Pig.
最终预祝我们:
Happy
Chinese New Year!
猪年高兴!
