农历羊年就要到了,温顺的羊给人许多遐想。“羊”在汉语中是象形字,似羊头形,作“吉利”讲,后引申出“祥”。 “羊”在英语中也应用广泛,笔者想就羊的常见知识点、习语及典故几个方面来“羊”话连篇。 Lunar New Year is coming, gentle sheep gives many reverie. “Sheep ” is a pictograph in Chinese, which is like a sheep’s head. It is made of “auspicious” and then extended to “auspicious”. “Sheep ” is also widely used in English. I would like to talk about the common knowledge of sheep, idioms and allusions in several aspects.
