さる年は Year of the Monkeyだけど

とり年は Year of the Chicken とは言わない!?

その他の十二支、縁起の良い言葉、新年に関係したアイテム、英語でどう言う？

今回のブログは絶対に見逃さないでくださいね！

十二支

近頃話題に上った「福禄猿」（中華圏の伝説上の猿、幸運をもたらすと言われる）どう訳せばいいのでしょうか？直訳すれば、「福」は fortune 、「禄」は prosperity、福祿猿は the monkey of fortune and prosperityとなるでしょう。でもかなり長ったらしいですね。最近の英字新聞を参照すると、中国語から直接音訳して「Fulu Monkey」と言えば良いようです！

十二支は英語で Chinese zodiac sign または Chinese animal sign 、12種類の動物については以下のとおりです：

Rat 子ねずみ（mouseは不可）

Ox 丑うし（cowは不可）

Tiger 寅とら

Rabbit 卯うさぎ

Dragon 辰たつ

Snake 巳へび

Horse 午うま

Goat 未ひつじ（sheepは不可）

Monkey 申さる

Rooster 酉とり（chickenは不可）

Dog 戌いぬ

Pig 亥いのしし

Year of the (動物の名前)でどの年なのか表すことができます：

A: What’s the Chinese zodiac/animal sign of 2016?

B: It’s the year of the Monkey.

A: 2016 ってなに年だったっけ？

B: さる年だよ。

十二支関連の会話を練習してみましょう：

A: What Chinese zodiac/animal sign were you born under?

B: I was born in the year of the Monkey.

もしくはI was born under the sign of the Monkey.

A: What is your Chinese zodiac/animal sign?

A: なに年生まれ？

B: 僕はさる年だよ。
