如果要說(shuō)“我屬羊”,那就是:I was born in/under the Year of the Sheep。介詞用 in 或 under 都可以。
正因?yàn)橛猩ぜo(jì)年的習(xí)俗,于是在我們這里有了“本命年”的概念。那“羊年是我的本命年”英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)呢?
Since I am a Sheep in the Chinese horoscope, this is my year.
在英語(yǔ)里,“本命年” 的地道說(shuō)法是year of fate或者animal year, 此外也可以看到把“本命年”翻譯為 birth year和 big year的。
所以“今年是我的本命年”用英語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō)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.
羊羊們大聲說(shuō)出自己的本命年吧!
