十二生肖(the twelve Chinese Zodiacs)是中国传统文化的重要组成部分，它们源于自然界的11种动物和一个民族图腾(totem)。
十二生肖代表动物的性格特点各不相同。
到了龙年或虎年，人们常说生龙活虎;马年人们会说马到成功;猪在中国人的眼里是宝的意思;牛是勤劳(diligence )的象征，这一点在鲁迅的诗句俯首甘为孺子牛中有着完美的体现。
参考翻译:

In the Year of Dragon or the Year of Tiger, people will say shenglonghuohufull of vim and vigor; in the Year of Horse, people will say madaochenggongto gain animmediate success. In Chinese eyes, pig is a treasure. Ox is a symbol of diligence, which iswell presented in the verse by Lu Xun一an outstanding writer in China, head bowed, like awilling ox I serve the children.
1.生龙活虎、马到成功:中国成语在翻译时可以先译为拼音，再进一步解释其内涵。
生龙活虎即精力充沛，活力四射，可译为vim and vigor; 马到成功即快速获得成功可译为gain an
immediate success。
2.牛:生肖中的牛用ox来表达，而不用如cattle, cow,bull等其他表示牛的词。
3.俯首甘为孺子牛:可直译为Head bowed, like a willingox I serve the children;或者根据其表达的愿意为弱小服务的精神译为modesty combined with thespirit of willingly serving the young and weak。
同时，译文要简略给出鲁迅的身份，以使译文内容更为周全。

英语六级 汉译英 十二生肖
十二属相中国民间有一个传统习俗，人一出生，就有一种动物做他的属相。
属相，也叫“生肖”，是中国民间传统的纪年和计算年龄的方法。
中国古代的纪年法是帝王年号与“干支”并用，其中“干支纪年法”从史书上有明文记载的公元前841年（庚申年），一直沿用到现在。
“干”是“天干”，有十个字组成，这十个字是：甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸。
“支”是“地支”，由十二个字组成，这十二个字是：子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥。
把天干的十个字和地支的十二个字按顺序配合起来，可以得到60种排列，如：甲子、乙丑、丙寅……这60种排列周而复始，循环使用，每六十年叫做“一个甲子”。
如公历的2001年，是农历的辛巳年，公历的2002年，是农历的壬午年；而六十年后，2061年又是辛巳年，2062年又是壬午年。
从东汉（25——220）时开始，人们又用鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪12种动物来配十二地支，组成了十二生肖，也叫十二属相。
这就是子鼠、丑牛、寅虎、卯兔、辰龙、巳蛇、午马、未羊、申猴、酉鸡、戌狗、亥猪。
这样，子年是鼠年，丑年是牛年，寅年是虎年……于是，每个人一出生，就有一种动物作他的属相。
子年出生的属鼠，丑年出生的属牛，寅年出生的属虎，以此类推。
现在，中国人在用公历纪年和计算年龄的同时，仍然习惯用属相纪年和推算年龄。
Twelve Symbolic AnimalsIt is traditional in China, when a person is born, one animal (shuxiang)is used to symbolize this year. Shuxiang, also called shengxiao (any ofthe 12 animals representing the Earthly Branches),.is a traditional way in China to number the years and to record a person's age The ancient Chinese people invented the method to designate the years by the Heavenly Stems consist of the characters: jia, yi, bing, ding, wu, ji, geng, xin, ren, and gui. And the Earthly Branches are composed of 12 characters: zi, chou, yin, mao, chen, si, wu, wei, shen, you, xu, hai.Combining each of the 10 Heavenly Stems with one of the 12 Earthly Branche s in sequence creates 60 chronological symbols. For example jiazi, yichou,bingyin, etc.These 60 symbols are used in circles and thus each year has a chronological s ymbol. For example, 2001 corresponds to xinsi, 2002 to renwu in the lunar calendar; after 60 years, 2061,once again, corresponds to xinsi, and 2062, to renwu. Later, people used 12 animals to correspond to the 12 Earthly Branches, forming the 12 Symbolic Animals, namely Earthly Branch One Rat,Earthly Branch Two Ox,Earthly Branch Three Tiger, Earthly Branch Four Rabbit, Earthly Branch Five Dragon,Earthly Branch Six Snake,Earthly Branch Seven Horse, Earthly Branch Eight Sheep, Earthly Branch Nine Monkey, Earthly Branch Ten Rooster,Earthly Branch Eleven Dog,Earthly Branch Twelve Pig. Thus the zi year is the Year of the Rat, and the chou Year is the year of the Ox, and the yin Year is the Year of the Year of Tiger, etc. Therefore, when a person is born, he has an animal as his aymbolic animal.The year 2002 was a renwu year under lunar calendar, also the year of Horse, and so children born in this yea are all Horse babies. Even though the Chinese people now number the years and their age under the Gregorian calendar, the still continue to use the symbolic animals.As long as people know a person's probable age and his symbolic animal, people can infer his exact age and year of birth.。
中国12生肖的英文翻译,来历,例句等
关于十二生肖的英文翻译在中国汉语中，十二生肖中的动物常常被用来比喻人，比如胆小如鼠，蛇蝎心肠等一类的词，从这些词中就可以看出中国人对这些动物的印象。
那十二生肖在国外是怎么翻译的呢，以及它所代表的含义又是什么呢？下面就是十二生肖的英文翻译：Rat charm, 子鼠Ox patient, 丑牛Tiger sensitive, 寅虎Rabbit articulate, 卯兔Dragon healthy, 辰龙Snake deep, 巳蛇Horse popular, 午马Goat elegant, 未羊Monkey clever, 申猴Rooster deep thinkers,酉鸡Dog loyalty, 戌狗Pig chivalrous. 亥猪龙年来了，我们可以称之为龙之年，但是如果是鼠年或是猪年，我们能称之为“鼠之年”或“猪之年”吗？很明显这听上去很不悦耳。
那外国是怎么看待十二生肖中的动物的呢？老鼠：中国人认为老鼠数肮脏的，但中国人同时认为老鼠是聪明且机灵的。
大部分西方人，和中国人的相反却是相反的，他们认为老鼠是“quiet as a mouse”,意思是老鼠非常的安静。
每人有愿意被别人称做老鼠，比如鼠头鼠脑，贼眉鼠眼等。
大部分形容老鼠的成语都是贬义的。
老鼠还被认为是不诚实的和自私的。
牛:西方人认为牛是有力的并且勤劳的。
但是，公牛常常被视作很多消极的意思，奶牛责备认为是他们三个当中最美好的一个。
事实上，在美国，美国人在他们的家中常常会挂有奶牛的图片你。
这种动物代表着舒适和家庭和谐。
老虎：如果你看到了一只老虎，你最好马上跑。
在西方，老虎可能是一个漂亮的女人或一个很帅气的男人你。
你叫一个人老虎这意味着他们可能很危险。
老虎也被用作形容很淘气的小孩，他们看上去很可爱，但是却掉皮的让人受不了。
兔子：很多中国人认为兔子是可爱又温顺的。
但是，几乎所有美国人提到兔子就会想到美国的卡通兔子人物——兔巴哥。
兔子在美国也因为能生而被熟知。

12生肖英语解释
The Year for Each Animal十二生肖在中国的农历中，每一种动物代表一种年，十二年一个轮回，它们分别是鼠年、牛年、虎年、兔年、龙年、蛇年、马年、羊年、猴年、鸡年、狗年、猪年。
Rat: The carefree attitude of the rat is to be kept in check this year. This is not a year to live day by day. Prepare for "the winter". This could be a tough year as your personality fights with circumstances. Loss is on the cards, so prepare and be diligent.Ox: After coming through a year in which challenges were thrown your way it may seem that things are on the up. Some success is due your way, but be diligent, as one mistaken decision will see it all slipping through your hands.Tiger: Last year may not have been the best, but with the dragon year over, the snake brings better conditions for you to shine. Take care of your health. In money matters due diligence and patience will pay off.Rabbit: Not a remarkable year last year, but the year of the snake is going to bring you some exciting opportunities. These may have an impact upon your family life, and it is therefore very important that you carefully weigh up the pros and cons of any offer. You will do well away from home, but family matters need to be properly taken care of.Dragon: For many dragons, last year will have seen success, even if these are not readily apparent on first site. Take stock and you will see many positive outcomes from the year. The snake year is an opportunity to build on last year, and you should see success. Don't allow yourself to forget to pay respect where it is due.Snake: This is a year in which ensuring balance is going to be very important. Do not be to blinkered in what you do. Balance social life with work, spending with saving and ambition with compassion. This year promises success but only if you can ensure you keep an eye on the bigger picture.Horse: There is still a lot of turmoil[1] around you, and the need to be diligent remains from last year. This is particularly true in financial matters. Get rich quick schemes may seem attractive, but remember, all that glisters[2] is not gold. Weigh up advice very carefully, trust yourself.Ram: Last year was a year of consolidation which may have taken a lot of hard work with little to show for it. Well, the year of the snake offers the chance to start cashing in. Don't be afraid to take a challenge or two. With continued hard work you should be able to look back at the end of the year and see a noticeable difference in your position. Seize opportunities and move forward.Monkey: Modesty and moderation are not always easy for you, but this year flamboyance[3] may lead to resentment[4] by your peers. You are, however, favorably positioned to have the ear of those in authority. Be tactful, as envious people around you may decide to try to bring you down a peg or two.Rooster: This is a year to remember that there are positive and negative sides to events in your life. Don't be disappointed to find opportunities that come your way are mixed blessings. If you build on the positive aspects of those opportunities you will find that they become stepping stones to future success.Dog: It's time to use your natural energies. Use the snake year to accumulate. Be careful, however, remembering that this is a year in which you need to be balanced in what you do. You can't expect success to come with no cost, and even when you are prepared to pay personally, beware that you don't force others into a Hobson's choice. Beware of greed.Pig: The early part of the snake year is an opportune time to acquire wealth. Remember, however, that this is a year of the "Snake Sleeping in Winter" and it is important to have an eye on financial needs in the second half of the year. You may see as much failure as success, so its important to plan for a rainy day./pages/new_year/snakezodiac.html[1]turmoiln. 骚动, 混[1]glistern. <古>灿烂, 光辉[3]flamboyance n. 华丽, 火焰[4]resentment n. 怨恨, 愤恨。
