下周即將迎來2021辛丑牛年，農曆牛年的英文要怎麼說呢？
你知道怎麼用英文吉祥話來祝賀外國朋友嗎?
拜年時跟長輩「烙」一下英文，說不定紅包還可以加碼喔~
找不到適合的英文祝賀詞，看這篇就對了，以下整理春節英文祝賀詞分類，趕快一 起來練習幾句吧!
牛年英文怎麼說? Year of the Ox
首先，牛在英語裏也有很多說法，你腦中是不是馬上浮現Cow的單字呢?
讓我們來比較一下Cow, Bull, Ox三個單字:
- cow 指的是母牛、奶牛。
劍橋字典解釋: a large female farm animal kept to produce meat and milk - bull 是未閹割過的公牛，比較勇猛，橫衝直撞。
劍橋字典解: a male cow - ox是閹割的公牛，過去多用於耕田犁地。
劍橋字典解釋：a bull (=male cow) that has had its reproductive organs removed, used in the past for pulling heavy things on farms, or, more generally, any adult of the cattle family
而農曆新年所說的「牛」年，傾向勤懇踏實、拉車犁田的牛
People born in the Year of the Ox are hardworking and industrious.
所以比較適合的字是Ox，而牛年就是Year of the Ox。
