2018年正式到來，隨著農曆新年的逼近，我們也將迎來全新的the year of the Dog。那麼你知道怎麼向外國友人介紹和Dog有關的生肖知識嗎？讓我們在the year of the Dog來到之前提前瞭解一下吧。
People born in the following date ranges are believed to be born in a Year of the Dog. Their Chinese zodiac signs are dog.
出生在下面時間段的人，生肖為“狗”。
在中國，每一種生肖都會和金（Gold）、木（Wood）、水（Water）、火（Fire）、土（Earth），五行搭配來看。例如，“水狗”（a Water Dog）每60年才出現一次。
屬相為Dog的人，通常會具有如下品質：
Loyal, Honest, Amiable, Sincere,
Kind, Cautious, Prudent.
當然，你也可以更詳細地描述這個人，例如：不擅於表達，正義感強，不容易誤入歧途，樂於助人，無私忘我，但有時也容易偏執……
As Dogs are not good at communication, it is difficult for them to convey their thoughts to others. Therefore, Dogs tend to leave others with the impression that they have a stubborn personality.
Born with a good nature, Dogs do not tend to seek dishonest gains. They just need a quiet life and a good family.
Dogs are always ready to help others and do not care about their own interests.
那麼如果外國友人問你：我應該如何和屬Dog的人相處呢？這時，你就需要誠實地告訴他。
Dogs will take some time to gain a thorough knowledge of their friends, due to their trait of being conservative and cautious. Once they become close friends, Dogs will be faithful to maintain the relationship.
最後附上十二生肖的年份和英文表達，請各自對號入座。
