终于等到我的本命年啦！

Finally, I am in MY birth sign year!

双语君期盼这一年，整整盼了12年！

没错，我属鼠！

I was born under the Year of the Rat.

“今年是我的本命年”还可以说：

This year is my year of fate / animal year / birth year / big year.

中国生肖（Chinese Zodiac Sign）真是难熬啊，要等到自己的本命年，少年都熬成了中年。

但这一切都是值得的！红袜子红内衣，这些以前穿都不一定hold得住的单品，现在，我可以理直气壮地穿起来了！

不吹牛地说，咱们的属相——鼠，可是十二生肖头一位。

甭管是谁，只要想背十二生肖：“鼠牛虎兔……”，就绕不开我们。

The rat is the first of the repeating 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac, constituting part of the Chinese calendar system. The Chinese word “鼠” may refer to rats, mice or other rodent-type animals.

鼠是中国十二生肖每12年出现一次的动物中的第一只，也构成了中国历法体系的一部分。汉语中的“鼠”可以指老鼠或其他啮齿类动物。

rodent /ˈrəʊdnt/：啮齿类动物

鼠年的神话传说

其实，鼠排在十二生肖第一位，还有个神话传说：

According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. The rat tricked the ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, the rat jumped down and landed ahead of the ox, becoming first.

有神话故事是这么说的：玉皇大帝说，生肖的顺序将由它们到达宴会的顺序来决定。鼠哄骗牛载它一程，就在他们要到达终点线时，鼠从牛背上跳了下来，落在牛的前面，成为第一个到达宴会的动物。

鼠年生人性格特征

据称，鼠年生人也有他们的共有性格特征：

Optimistic and energetic, people born in the Year of the Rat are likable by all. They are sensitive to other people’s emotions but are stubborn with opinions. Their personality is kind, but due to relatively weak communication skills, their words may seem impolite and rude.

鼠年出生的人，乐观、精力充沛，很讨人喜欢。他们对别人的情绪很敏感，但对自己的意见也很固执。他们性格善良，但由于沟通技巧相对欠缺，他们说的话可能会显得不中听、不礼貌。

On the financial side, they like saving and can be stingy. However, their love for hoarding will sometimes cause them to waste money on unnecessary things.

理财方面来说，他们喜欢储蓄，而且可能有些抠门。不过，他们热爱囤积的习惯有时会使得他们把钱浪费在不必要的东西上。

与鼠相配的属相

网友们甚至还总结了“最能旺鼠的生肖”。当然，下面这些仅供娱乐参考，相信鼠宝宝们对找什么对象都有自己的想法吧……

The rat’s fixed element of the five is water, while ox is earth. They complement and help one another in both work and life.

鼠五行属水，而牛属土。他们在工作和生活中可以互补和互助。

Couples that are formed from rats and dragons will be able to understand each other well, and enjoy success together.

鼠和龙组CP能很好地理解对方，并一起享受成功。

Similar to dragons, monkeys get along great with rats, and tend to live happily ever after like a fairytale.

和龙一样，猴和鼠也能相处得很好，而且往往像童话一样快乐地生活下去。

本命年运势

有内衣袜子的红运加身，我还想知道，面前这崭新的一年，会有什么等着咱们。

来看看本命年的运势吧！

工

作

Because of their independence and imagination, they are suitable for creative jobs. These include authors, editors and artists. However, if they join a team, their creative outlet may be blocked.

鉴于属鼠的人有独立性和想象力，他们适合从事创造性的工作，包括作家、编辑和艺术家等。不过，要是加入了一个团队，他们的创意才能可能会受到限制。

Rats also pay attention to fine detail. They are fit for technical work, such as engineering and architecture.

属鼠的人也注意细节。它们适合技术工作，比方说工程类和建筑类的职位。

健

康

Since childhood, Rats have frail health. They have energetic personalities, but tire quickly. They catch colds often, but thankfully do not have serious illnesses.

属鼠的人从小体弱。他们天性精力充沛，但很快就会疲倦。他们经常感冒，但谢天谢地少生大病。

They are sensitive to changes in temperature. Not only is cold weather unbearable for them, they also can’t stand hot weather. But despite seeming weak and not being able to perform hard physical work, they enjoy longevity. For a healthy life, rats must remember to eat breakfast, do moderate exercise and remain cheerful.

属鼠的人对温度的变化也很敏感。他们既怕热又怕冷。但是呢，尽管看起来很柔弱，不能进行艰苦的体力劳动，他们还是很长寿。为了健康，属鼠的人必须记得吃早餐，适度运动，保持积极的心态。

情

感

Luck is also not in your favor this year for love. Romance will be hard to come by for married couples and singles alike. You will face many struggles throughout the year; however, your innate positivity will help you push through hard times.

在爱情方面，今年你可能不会走大运。无论是已婚夫妇还是单身人士，想要获得浪漫恋情都不容易。这一年中你将面临许多困难，不过呢，你天生的积极性格将帮助你度过困难时期。

If you’re single, it is best to avoid longing for a partner this year. The likelihood of finding someone long-term is very low. Instead, have fun and enjoy the freedom of not being tied down romantically. Enjoy light conversation, some partying (but not too much) and meeting new people.

如果你是单身，今年最好不用太盼着找对象了。找到LTR（长期恋爱关系）的可能性很低。反之，你可以尽情享受不受恋情束缚的自由。享受轻松的谈话，参加些聚会（但不要太多），结识结识新朋友就很好。

当然了，今天的分享，信则有，不信则无，仅供娱乐哦。

出生于鼠年的名人也不少，其中包括查尔斯王子、歌手艾薇儿，还有蜘蛛侠演员“荷兰弟”等等。

接下来的六个鼠年分别是：2032、2044、2056、2068、2080和2092。

希望到那时，双语君还能看到你啊！

鼠年大吉！
