你知道怎样用英语说生肖吗？如果老外问你是属什么的，你又该怎么说呢？

Dialogue 对话：

Ian: Hey Sharon, do you know what animal year it is next year?

伊恩：你好啊莎伦，知道明年是什么生肖年吗？

Sharon: Mmm……what comes next? I think it's either the year of the snake or the year of the horse, though I'm not entirely sure. I can never keep track of these things.

莎伦：哦……下一个生肖是什么呢？尽管我不是很确定，我想不是蛇年就是马年。我从来都记不住这些东西。

Ian: What animal sign are you?

伊恩：你属什么？

Sharon: I'm a snake.

莎伦：属蛇。

Ian: Ahh……the wisest of all Chinese horoscope signs!

伊恩：啊……是所有中国生肖里面最聪慧的！

Sharon: Really? Well, I don't know about that -- I can't even manage to remember the order of the 12 animals in the zodiac!

莎伦：真的吗？哦，我不知道——我甚至连十二生肖的顺序都记不住！

Ian: Do you know anything else about snakes?

伊恩：你知道关于属蛇的其他什么事情吗？

Sharon: I seem to remember being told that we enjoy learning, reading and eating good food. And I'd say that's a pretty accurate description of me! How about you?

莎伦：我好像记得有人告诉过我属蛇的人喜欢学习、阅读和美食。我得说这个描述很符合我！你呢？

Ian: I'm a tiger. Apparently, my motto is 'I win'. I'm unpredictable, impulsive, generous, and impatient.

伊恩：我属虎。很显然，我的座右铭是“必胜”。我难以捉摸、冲动任性、慷慨大方、脾气暴躁。
