2018年正式到来，随着农历新年的逼近，我们也将迎来全新的the year of the Dog。那么你知道怎么向外国友人介绍和Dog有关的生肖知识吗？让我们在the year of the Dog来到之前提前了解一下吧。
People born in the following date ranges are believed to be born in a Year of the Dog. Their Chinese zodiac signs are dog.
出生在下面时间段的人，生肖为“狗”。
在中国，每一种生肖都会和金（Gold）、木（Wood）、水（Water）、火（Fire）、土（Earth），五行搭配来看。例如，“水狗”（a Water Dog）每60年才出现一次。
属相为Dog的人，通常会具有如下品质：
Loyal, Honest, Amiable, Sincere,
Kind, Cautious, Prudent.
当然，你也可以更详细地描述这个人，例如：不擅于表达，正义感强，不容易误入歧途，乐于助人，无私忘我，但有时也容易偏执……
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.
那么如果外国友人问你：我应该如何和属Dog的人相处呢？这时，你就需要诚实地告诉他。
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.
最后附上十二生肖的年份和英文表达，请各自对号入座。
