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。
