3.The Chinese zodiac animal signs are the Chinese way of numbering the years. It attributes an animal to each year, according to a 12-year cycle. Since ancient times, the Chinese people began to use the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to record the passing of years.

十二生肖在英文中的寓意 “生肖”是代替十二地支、用来表示人们出生的12种动物，即鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪。如寅年出生的人属虎，卯年出生的人属兔。“生肖”也就是俗话说的“属相”，是中国人特有的一种表示出生时间的方式，相当于西方的黄道十二星座(双鱼座、白羊座、金牛座、双子座、巨蟹座、狮子座、室女座、天秤座、天蝎座、人马座、摩羯麻、宝瓶座)。 当询问个人出生的属相时，英语表达为What animal sign were you born under ?(你属什么？)答语可以是：I was born in the year of the Cock 或 Mine is the Cock。(我属鸡。) 十二生肖的12种动物用英语说是：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”来分别比喻心毒手辣的人、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。 一、鼠——Rat 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——Ox 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 black Ox has trod on sb’s foot表示灾祸已降临到某人头上。 三. 虎——Tiger 虎指凶恶的人，虎狼之徒；英国人指穿制服的马夫；口语中常指比赛的劲敌。中国和东南亚国家常以Paper tiger比喻貌似强大而实质虚弱的敌人。词组ride the tiger表示以非常不确定或危险的方式生活。 四. 兔——Hare 在英国俚语中，hare指坐车不买票的人。与hare组成的词组有：make a hare of sb。愚弄某人。start a hare，在讨论中提出枝节问题。例如：You start a hare ever time at the meeting。每次讨论你都提出与题无关的问题。 英语中有许多关于兔的谚语，如： 1. First catch your hare。勿谋之过早(意指：不要过于乐观)。 2. You cannot run with the hare and hunt with hounds。不能两面讨好(意指：不要耍两面派)。 五. 龙——Dragon 龙在中国人民的心目中占有崇高的位置，有关龙的成语非常多，且含有褒义。如“龙跃凤鸣”、“龙骧虎步”等。在英语中，赞扬龙的词语非常之少，且含有贬义。如“dragon”指凶暴的人，严厉的人，凶恶严格的监护人，凶恶的老妇人(尤指很少给在其看管下姑娘自由的老妇人)等。以dragon组成的词组也多含贬义。如dragon’s teeth ：相互争斗的根源； the old Dragon：魔鬼。 六. 蛇——Snake
与十二生肖有关的一些英语词组。 一、鼠(rat) 生肖中的"鼠"用rat这个单词来表达。 a rat leaving a sinking ship 不能共患难的人 Rats desert a sinking ship. 树倒猢狲散。 like a drowned rat 湿透了，像落汤鸡一样 like a rat in a hole 瓮中之鳖一般 rat out 夹着尾巴走、在尴尬中离去 have a rat in a garret 想入非非，在口语中表示难以实现的梦想 die like a rat 被毒死 smell a rat 感到不妙，感到可疑 Rats！胡说八道！(具有斥责、生气的意味) A rat race 激烈的竞争(尤指为保住职位和地位) 另外，表示"鼠"的单词还有mouse(复数为mice)。下面则是使用mouse这个单词的词组。 as poor as a church mouse 一贫如洗 like a drowned mouse 狼狈不堪 play cat and mouse with sb. 对某人时好时坏 quiet as a mouse 不出声，无声响 二、牛(ox) 首先需要说明的是，ox是不分性别的牛的统称。 The black ox has trod on somebody's foot. 灾祸已经降临到某人头上了
ox-eyed 大眼睛的 而bull则表示公牛。 a bull in a china shop 鲁莽冲撞的人 throw the bull (美国俚语)一派胡言，胡言乱语，吹牛 take the bull by the horns 不畏艰险 like a bull at a gate 狂怒地、凶猛地 milk the bull 做毫无意义的事情、徒劳无益 cow是"母牛、奶牛"。 till the cows come home 永远都不可能地 a sacred cow 可用于比喻神圣不可侵犯的人或事 三、虎(tiger) fight like a tiger 极力攻击某人或保护自己 a paper tiger 纸老虎 catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's lair 不入虎穴，焉得虎子 四、兔(rabbit) like rabbits in a warren 挤得水泄不通 五、龙(dragon) 在西方国家，龙的形象与中国大有不同，这种差异在有关dragon 的英语词组的含义中充分体现出来了。在中国，龙是吉祥如意之兆，是历代帝王的象征，有神圣不可侵犯的感觉，正如印度人视牛为神圣的动物一样(正是前文提到的a sacred cow)。 但是，在西方国家，龙却被视为凶猛狠毒的动物。也正因此，我们所熟悉的"亚洲四小龙"的称呼，在英语中并不使用dragon这个单词，而是用tiger，成为"Asian Tigers"。

And how does a westerner see each of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac? 21st Century staff Charlie Shifflett answers these questions and more. Rat: Chinese see rats as dirty, but they also think laoshu are smart and agile. Most people in the West, however, see little good in the creatures. Mice, on the other hand, are more likeable.

有关十二生肖的英文介绍 ●It's interesting that we have 12 Chinese zodiacs in China, and you have 12 signs in your culture. ●More than 30,000 years ago, the Chinese animal signs are a 12-year cycle used for dating the years. They represent a cyclical concept of time, rather than the western linear concept of time. The Chinese lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, and is constructed in a different fashion than the western solar calendar. In the Chinese calendar, the beginning of the year falls somewhere between late January and early February. ●In traditional china, dating methods were cyclical, cyclical meaning something that is repeated time after time according to a pattern. ● A popular folk method which reflected this cyclical method of recording years are the twelve animal signs. Every year is assigned an animal name or sign according to a repeating cycle: mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. You might found out that many Chinese people strongly believe that the time of a person's birth is primary factor in determining that person's characteristics. ●According to one legend, Buddha invited all the animals to his
“生肖”是中国人特有的一种表示出生时间的方式。汉语中，人们往往以十二生肖中的动物来比喻人，即把不同性格特征的人比作动物，如常以“毒如蛇蝎”，“胆小如鼠”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。 现在跟我一起来看看吧： 鼠：Rat 英语中用以比喻可耻的人，告密者；smell a rat指人们怀疑在做错某事。a rat race 则表示激烈的竞争。 牛：Ox 英语中涉及“Ox”的表达方式：Ox － eyed形容眼睛大的人。 虎：Tiger 指凶恶的人，虎狼之徒，口语中常指比赛的劲敌。中国常以Paper tiger比喻貌似强大而实质虚弱的敌人。 兔：Hare 在英国俚语中，hare指坐车不买票的人。make a hare of sb.愚弄某人；startahare 在讨论中提出枝节问题。 龙：Dragon 龙在中国人民的心目中占有崇高的位置，但在英语中，赞扬龙的词语非常之少。如“dragon”指凶暴的人，严厉的人，dragon’steeth ：相互争斗的根源； the old Dragon：魔鬼。 蛇：Snake 在英语中，“snake”往往含有贬义，指冷酷阴险的人，卑鄙的人。如：John’s behavior showed him tobea snake.约翰的行为表明他是一个冷酷阴险的人。a snake in the grass.潜伏的敌人或危险。 马：Horse 英美国家的人很喜欢马，因此，含“horse”的词组也不少，如：get on the highhorse.摆架子，目空一切。work like a horse.辛苦的干活。dark horse.竞争中出人意料的获胜者。 羊：Sheep
