Europe has 12 constellations, while China has 12 animals symbolising the 12 branches used to designate years. The 12 animals finish a cycle every 12 years and each of them guards one year.Chinese believe that those who are born in a certain year would inherit the traits of the animal guarding that year. Rats are wise and cattle are hard-working. Tigers are courageous and rabbits are prudent. Dragons are rich and respectful, and snakes are romantic. Horses are fast and a sheep are sincere. Monkeys are smart and flexible, while chickens are endowed with beauty. Dogs are faithful and pigs are amiable.Do you know what your symbolic animal denoting the year of your birth?1. constellation [ˌkɑːnstəˈleɪʃn] n.星座;一系列(相关的想法、事物);一群(相关的人)con 强调 + stell 星 + ation 复合名词后缀 → 星座Effects of different distributions of fault satellites on PDOP availability of global navigation constellation are studied.研究了不同故障星分布状况对全球导航星座PDOP可用性的影响。2. designate [ˈdezɪɡneɪt] v.命名;指定;选定，指派，委任(某人任某职);标明;标示;指明 adj.(已受委派)尚未上任的;(已当选)尚未就职的de 使… + sign 信号 + ate 动词后缀 → 发出信号 → 指示This floor has been designated a no-smoking area.3. trait [treɪt] n.(人的个性的)特征，特性，特点I must record one trait of this good man's character.4. prudent [ˈpruːdnt] adj.谨慎的;慎重的;精明的词源：先看单词provident（有先见之明的），前缀pro表“在前，提前”；词根vid(=vis)表“看”，如evident(明显的)、supervise（监督）等；本意为“提前看到的”，引申为“有先见之明的”。Prudent和它同源，其中“d”的词根是vid的缩写。It might be more prudent to get a second opinion before going ahead.5. sincere [sɪnˈsɪr] adj.真诚的;诚挚的;诚恳的;诚实的;坦率的词源：据旧时说法．sincere的词源可以追溯到意大利文艺复兴盛期，雕刻家、画家、建筑师和诗人米开朗琪罗( Michelange-Lo，1475 - 1564)生活的那个时代。米开朗琪罗在成名前曾在采石场工作。当时罗马的采石工人常常涂蜡于大理石，以掩饰其瑕疵，但是这只能瞒骗一时。以后罗马元老院(the Roman Senate)颁令，凡大理石不得涂蜡，换言之，大理石必须“无蜡”，用拉丁语表示则是sine cera（没有蜡）。这两部分最后合成丁英语单词sincere，它的词义先是由“无蜡的”引申为“纯粹的”，继而又引申为“真挚的”，“真诚的”。然而，大多数权威人士认为，sincere 一词系源于拉丁语sincerus（纯粹的，不搀假的）。He seemed sincere enough when he said he wanted to help.6. flexible [ˈfleksəbl] adj.能适应新情况的;灵活的;可变动的;柔韧的;可弯曲的;有弹性的flex 弯曲 + ible 形容词后缀 → 易弯曲的；灵活的7. amiable [ˈeɪmiəbl] adj.和蔼可亲的;亲切友好的比较级： more amiable 最高级：most amiableam爱，情爱 + i 连字符 + able 形容词后缀 → 能爱〔别人〕的 → 友善的She had been surprised at how amiable and polite he had seemed.《你好,中国》( Hello, China ):36-Water-Splashing Festival（泼水节）
