如何和老外用英语聊春节发生的事儿？
鸡年的春节已经结束了，你们过年都干嘛了呢？咱们天来回顾回顾在这个鸡年春节里很好用的英语表达吧~
可爱的大家都知道有关农历新年的故事吧？大家知道为什么生肖年是那样排序的吗？
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 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.
这个中国传说讲述的是佛祖邀请了所有的动物去参加新年庆典，但只有12只动物到场。为了奖励它们的忠诚，佛祖按照它们到来的先后顺序给每一年命名。分别是：鼠、 牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗和猪。
The 2017 Chinese New Year celebrates the Year of Rooster,the tenth animal honored by Buddha.
2017年的中国新年庆贺的是鸡年，这是被佛祖奖励的第十只动物。
People born in the Year of Rooster are characterised as confident,energetic,intelligent.而鸡年出生的小伙伴一般被认为自信又精力充沛，而且很勤奋。可不是嘛？“闻鸡起舞”这个成语可是与之息息相关的呢。
闻鸡起舞：To rise up upon hearing the crow of a rooster
古有祖逖早起练剑，今有小伙伴们勤学英语~请看例句：
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，晋朝时十分勤奋的少年，年轻时便闻鸡起舞，立志保护国家。
