The people who were born in the year were the rabbits born in the year. "Zodiac" is also the "genus" of the conviction. It is a unique way to born time. It is equivalent to the Western Huangdao 12th Constellation (Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Subtock, Cancer, Leo, Room, Libra, Scorpio, Horses, Capricorn, Bottles). In English, when talking about the genus of personal born, express it as "What Animal Sign WERE you born underd? What are you? I Was born in the year of the cock / mine is the coak. I am a chicken." Twelve Zodiac 12 animals have only one in Chinese: Rat: Rat, Cow: OX, Tiger: Tiger, Rabbit: Hare, Dragon: Dragon, Snake: Snake, Horse: Horse, Sheep: Sheep, Monkey: Monkey, Chicken: Cock, Dog : Dog, Pig: Boar. In Chinese, people often compare people with animals in twelve zodiac, that is, people who have different (character, characteristics, habits, etc.) are more than animals, such as "poisonous pigs", "stupid pig", "timid Rats "to metaphor, stupid people, stupid, bile small people, etc. English can also be used by animals in the twelve zodiac, which is more and more interesting. Nowadays: 1. Rat - Rat English is used to metapir ghost, shameful people, inspirators, secrets, and strikes; American slang refers to new students, and the woman. When seeing the word SMELL A RAT, it means that people are suspected to do something wrong. A Rat Race means a fierce competition. Rats desert a sinking ship (the boat depressed first escape, this proverb "means that the danger of seeking safety or seeing difficulties in seeing difficulties.) Two. Cattle - o involves" cow " There are a lot of Chinese idioms, such as "Baby Piano", "Buffalo" and so on. There are not many expressions involving "ox" in English. Use OX - Eyed to describe people with eyes; use phrase the black ox Has Trod on sb's foot to express the disaster has come to someone. Third. Tiger - Tiger refers to the evil people, the tiger wolf; the British refers to the uniform of the uniform; the enemy of the competition in the spoken language. China and Southeast Asian countries often seem to be strong and substantially weak enemies with PAPER TIGER. The phrase Ride The Tiger means living in a very uncertain or dangerous manner. Four. Rabbit --hare in the British slang, Hare finger a person who does not buy tickets. The phrase with Hare has: make a harness of sb. Fun someone. START a HARE. Branch issues are proposed in the discussion. For example: You Start a Hare Ever Time At the Meeting. Every time you discuss you all the questions that have nothing to do with the questions.
There are many proverbs on rabbits, such as: 1. First catch your harness. Do not premature (means: don't be too optimistic). 2. You Cannot Run with the Hare and hunt with hounde. Can not be joined two (meaning: do not play two-faced). 5. Dragon-Dragon Dragon has a lofty position in the minds of the Chinese people, and there are very many idioms of the dragon and contraction. Such as "Longyue Fengming", "Dragon Tiger Step", etc. In foreign languages, the words that commend the dragon are very small and contain derogatory. Such as "Dragon" refers to the fierce violence, the strict people, the fierce and strict guardians, the fierce old woman (especially for the old woman who is looking at the girl's free girl). The phrase composed of Dragon has more derivatives. Such as Dragon's TEETH: The root cause of each other; arranged or multi-layered wedge-shaped anti-mixing mixes concrete obstacles. The Old Dragon: Devil. Sixth. Snake - Snake refers to a cold and innocent person, hypocritical people, despicable people; American slang finger and deceive a man's man or male A Fei. As soon as I see, in English, "Snake" often contains derival. Such as: John's Behavior Should Him To Be a Snake. John's behavior indicates that he is a cold and innocent person. The idiom idioms consisting with Snake, there are many proverbs, just a few cases: a snake in the grass. Laters or danger. To Warm a snake in one's bosom. Raising the tiger, palliative, bad people. Takd Heed of the Snake in The Grass. Snake in the grass. Seven. The people in Horse British and American countries like horses, so the phrase, idioms, and proverbs of the word "horse" are very much, this example: 1. Get on the high horse. Take a shelf, everything goes. 2. Work Like a Horse. Hard work. 3. Horse Doctor, veterinarian, mediocroic. 4. Dark Horse. Excellent winners in the competition. The voters around the Nomination. When the unknown small pawn won in the competition, the voters were shocked. Eight. Sheep - SHEEP English refers to people who are ashamed, gallbladder, and tame people. There are a lot of proverbs with Sheep. 1. AS Well Be Hanged for a Sheep As a lamb. Stolen sheep mutual lambs are twisted (dead); stealing big thief is a thief (refer to: I don't do it, I will not do). 2. There's a black sheep in Every Flock. There will be a black sheep in every sheep, and the ugly son is (it means: there is a defeated home every home.) HE That Makes Himself A Sheep Shall Be Eaten By The Wolf. Want to make a sheep, feeding the leopard in the morning and evening (people are weak). 4. The Sheep WHO Tallks Peace with A Wolf Will Soon Be Mutton. The sheep begins to peace, soon will become a lamb (refer to it, do not beg to peacefully to the enemy). Nine.
