2024年12月英语六级翻译练习:十二生肖
为了让人们更好地记住年份,我们的祖先用 12 只动物来代表年份。即“十二生肖”(Chinese Zodiac)。每一年由一种动物代表,每隔 12 年进行一个循环,从鼠开始,以猪为结尾。每一种动物还有其独特的文化内涵 (cultural connotation}。例如,牛年出生的人据说“勤奋、冷静、可靠”,虎年出生的人则“强大、勇敢、但又急躁”。十二生肖在亚洲的其他国家,如韩国和日本也很流行。

In order to remember the years more easily, our ancestors used twelve animals to represent the years, which is called the “Chinese Zodiac”.Every year is represented by an animal and every 12 years comes in a circle beginning with Rat and ending with Pig. Each animal has its unique cultural connotations. For example, a person born in the Year of Ox is said to be hard working, calm, and reliable, while the person born in the Year of Tiger is powerful,brave, and impatient. The Chinese Zodiac remains popular as well in other Asian countries,such as Korea and Japan.
