参考译文:
Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs are the twelve kinds of animals which Chinese people customarily use to mark the year in which a person was bom. They are Rat，Ox, Tiger，Rabbit，Dragon，Snake，Horse，Goat，Monkey，Rooster，Dog and Pig. It is based on a twelve-year cycle; each year in that cycle corresponds to an animal sign. For a long time there has been a special relationship between humans and the twelve zodiacal animals. It is believed that the year represented by the animal affects one’s character in the same manner as the constellation adopted by western culture. 1.十二生肖是中国人习惯上用来表示出生年份的十二种动物：“习惯上”可译 为customarily，customarily的词根是custom，意为“风俗，习惯”。 2.每十二年循环一次，每年都与一个属相对应：“循环”可译为cycle。它常出现在以下词组中：life cycle (寿命周期；生存期）、cell cycle (细胞周期）、 economic cycle (经济周期，经济循环）。 3.据说这些动物所代表的年份能影响人的性格，这和西方文化中的十二星座类似：“西方文化”可译为western culture; “类似”可理解为“以同样的方式”，故 可译为in the same manner。
