生活英语|year of fate 本命年

假如要说我生肖羊，那就是：I was born in/under the Year of the Sheep。介词用 in 或 under 都可以。

正由于有生肖纪年的风俗，于是在大家这里有了本命年的定义。那羊年是我的本命年英语如何说呢？

Since I am a Sheep in the Chinese horoscope, this is my year.

在英语里，本命年 的地道说法是year of fate^{1或者animal year， 除此之外也可以看到把本命年翻译为 birth year和 big year的。}

所以今年是我的本命年用英语来讲就是：

This year is my year of fate.

This year is my animal year.

This year is my birth year.

This year is my big year.
