year of fate 本命年

如果要说“我属羊”，那就是：I was born in/under the Year of the Sheep。介词用 in 或 under 都可以。

正因为有生肖纪年的习俗，于是在我们这里有了“本命年”的概念。那“羊年是我的本命年”英语怎么说呢？

Since I am a Sheep in the Chinese horoscope, this is my year.

在英语里，“本命年” 的地道说法是year of fate或者animal year， 此外也可以看到把“本命年”翻译为 birth year和 big year的。

所以“今年是我的本命年”用英语来说就是：

This year is my year of fate.

This year is my animal year.

This year is my birth year.

This year is my big year.
