而這些星座個性又該如何用英語表達呢?

Dialogue: (對話)

 

Hope:

Hey, Joey. How’s life?

Joey:

So far so good. How about you, Hope?

Hope:

Not bad. So, Joey, have you memorized how to say those 12 Zodiac signs?

Joey:

Of course. Let me show you! The first one is Aries白羊座. Then, 金牛Taurus, 雙子Gemini, 巨蟹Cancer,

獅子Leo, 處女Virgo, 天秤Libra, 天蠍Scorpio, and 射手Sagittarius, 魔羯Capricorn and 水瓶Aquarius …and the last one 雙魚Pisces!

Hope:

Good Job, Joey. I am impressed!

Joey:

Thank you. I spent the whole week reviewing these words.

Hope:

So, Joey, since you’ve spent time reading those books about astrology, why don’t you share some interesting facts with me?

Joey:

Astrology? What’s that?

Hope:

Astrology is a study of stars and how they affect the character, personal traits and lives of people.

Joey:

Oh! Astrology…占星術?

Hope:

That’s right! And the person who interprets astrology is an astrologer.

 

Joey:

I see. An astrologer is 占星師. An astrologer can interpret astrology. 占星師能詮釋占星學。

Hope:

That’s right! So, Joey why don’t you tell me what kind of personality each star represents?

Joey:

Sure. As you know, I am an Aries. Arieses are usually confident and outgoing.

And you are a Scorpio. You are usually 熱情並且蠻能專注於目標的.

Hope:

You mean a Scorpio is passionate with strong determinations.

Joey:

Well, the book says that. And our supervisor, Ms. Lin, is a Taurus, so most of the time, she is 務實、可靠、穩定、不易改變。

Hope:

Interesting! A Taurus is practical and reliable and they like stability and comfort. I only know that they love money.

Joey:

Yes, the book says they care about money.

Hope:

What about cancer? Emily is a cancer.

Joey:

Well, Cancers are 敏感的.

Hope:

Sensitive.

Joey:

Yes, Cancers are sensitive and they care about their family and friends.

Hope:

What about Geminis? I know they are curious and like talking to others.

Joey:

That’s right, they are curious and like to learn new things too.

Hope:

My uncle is a Gemini. He talks a lot! And what is a Virgo like?

Joey:

Let’s see. A Virgo is 超愛分析的and they非常關注細節但也很有條理的.

Hope:

No wonder Kelly is so analytical and detail-oriented. And she is the most organized person I know.

Joey:

You are right. She is really organized.

Hope:

What about Capricorns? My sister is a Capricorn.

Joey:

Really? Well, Capricorns are very hardworking, 守紀律的 and they are ambitious, too.

Hope:

Hmm…Capricorns are disciplined and ambitious. I guess that is why my sister used to be model students when she was young!

Joey:

Hey, you know, Hope. I don’t get along with Aquarius.

Hope:

Really? Why?

Joey:

Well, Aquarians like new ideas and they like to change.

Hope:

Are you talking about Rica? But I think she is independent.

Joey:

I know. But she changes all the time!

Hope:

Hey, Joey, you know, I think it’s fun to see the connections between star signs and personal traits.

And it’s interesting how these traits shape our attitudes and interactions with one another.

Joey:

That’s why it is fun to read these books.
