Chinese Zodiac

Posted on July 24, 2012 by my chinese study

英语中，当谈个人出生的属相时，表达为“What animal sign were you born under ?你属什么？I was born in the year of the Cock / Mine is the Cock.我属鸡。”十二生肖的12种动物在汉语中只有一个：鼠：Rat，牛：Ox，虎：Tiger，兔：Hare，龙：Dragon，蛇：Snake，马：Horse，羊：Sheep，猴：Monkey，鸡：Cock，狗：Dog，猪：Boar 汉语中，人们往往以十二生肖中的动物来比喻人，即把不同（性格、特征、习性等）的人比作动物，如常以“毒如蛇蝎”，“笨猪”、“胆小如鼠”来比喻心毒手辣的人、笨人、胆小怯懦的人等。英语中同样可用十二生肖中的动物喻人，其所表达的意思更加广泛而有趣。现简述如下： 一. 鼠（shǔ）——Rat （2008年，1996年，1984年，1972年，1960年，1948年，1936年，1924年） 英语中用以比喻讨厌鬼，可耻的人，告密者，密探，破坏罢工的人；美国俚语指新学生、下流女人当看到smell a rat这一词组时，是指人们怀疑在做错某事。a rat race则表示激烈的竞争。rats desert a sinking ship（船沉鼠先逃，这一谚语意指那些一遇到危险就争先寻求安全或一看见困难便躲得老远的人。）   二. 牛(niú)——Ox（2009年，1997年，1985年，1973年，1961年，1949年，1937年，1925年） 涉及“牛”的汉语成语很多，如“对牛弹琴”、“牛蹄之涔”等。英语中涉及“Ox”的表达方式则不多。用Ox － eyed形容眼睛大的人；用短语The … Continue reading →
