雞年的春節(jié)已經(jīng)結(jié)束了，你們過年都干嘛了呢？咱們天來回顧回顧在這個(gè)雞年春節(jié)里很好用的英語表達(dá)吧~
可愛的大家都知道有關(guān)農(nóng)歷新年的故事吧？大家知道為什么生肖年是那樣排序的嗎？
Chinese legend tells that Buddha,the emperor of the heaven,invited all animals to enjoy the New Year's celebration and only 12 animals appeared on time.In order to reward their loyalty,Buddha named a year after each one in the order they arrived. That is:Rat,Ox,Tiger,? Rabbit,Drangon,Snake,Horse,Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog.
這個(gè)中國傳說講述的是佛祖邀請了所有的動(dòng)物去參加新年慶典，但只有12只動(dòng)物到場。為了獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)它們的忠誠，佛祖按照它們到來的先后順序給每一年命名。分別是：鼠、?牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗和豬。
The 2017 Chinese New Year celebrates the Year of Rooster,the tenth animal honored by Buddha.
2017年的中國新年慶賀的是雞年，這是被佛祖獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)的第十只動(dòng)物。
People born in the Year of Rooster are characterised as confident,energetic,intelligent.而雞年出生的小伙伴一般被認(rèn)為自信又精力充沛，而且很勤奮?？刹皇锹?？“聞雞起舞”這個(gè)成語可是與之息息相關(guān)的呢。
聞雞起舞：To rise up upon hearing the crow of a rooster
古有祖逖早起練劍，今有小伙伴們勤學(xué)英語~請看例句：
Zu Ti,?an extremely intelligent boy?in?Jing Dynasty, rose up upon hearing the crow of a rooster and practiced with the sword and determined to safeguard his country since youth.
祖逖，晉朝時(shí)十分勤奮的少年，年輕時(shí)便聞雞起舞，立志保護(hù)國家。
好了，先不說題外話，春節(jié)里讓我們這些小天使最期待的大概就是紅包了吧！
Red Packets/Envelopes 包紅包
The red packet is a red envelope with money in it,which ranges from 1 yuan to a few thousand yuan.As usual,the red packet is given by the eldery and adults.It is generally believed that the money in the? red packet will keep ones who receive the pocket money.
紅包是裝著錢的“信封",紅包里的錢一般由一元從數(shù)千元不等。過年時(shí)一般是長輩和成年人發(fā)紅包。通常認(rèn)為，紅包里的錢能夠讓收紅包的人身體安康。
不過這幾年，大家都有目共睹，是電子紅包越發(fā)地成為新春里必不可少的旋律。
App-sent/received "red envelops" appeared in recent years,we can take Wechat for an example.Many young people spend most of their Chinese New Year holiday? time on it for amusement.
APP收發(fā)紅包，微信作為一個(gè)例子，近幾年來出現(xiàn)在人們的視野。很多年輕人將大部分春節(jié)假期時(shí)間花在了這上面。
今年是雞年，可是當(dāng)歪果仁小伙伴問到我們有關(guān)十二生肖（Chinese zodiac）的事情，咱們該怎么用英語說呢？下面可是小編過年里聽到頻率最高的對話：
1.今年是什么生肖年?

2.你的生肖屬相是什么？
