这是最全的

一. 鼠——Rat
英语中用以比喻讨厌鬼，可耻的人，告密者，密探，破坏罢工的人；美国俚语指新学生、下流女人。当看到smell a rat这一词组时，是指人们怀疑在做错某事。a rat race则表示激烈的竞争 。rats desert a sinking ship（船沉鼠先逃，这一谚语意指那些一遇到危险就争先寻求 安全或一看见困难便躲得老远的人。）

二. 牛——Ox
涉及“牛”的汉语成语很多，如“对牛弹琴”、“牛蹄之涔”等。英语中涉及“Ox”的表 达方式则不多。用Ox － eyed形容眼睛大的人；用短语The black Ox has trod on sb’s foot表示灾祸已降临到某人头上。

三. 虎——Tiger
指凶恶的人，虎狼之徒；英国人指穿制服的马夫；口语中常指比赛的劲敌。中国和东南亚国家常以Paper tiger比喻貌似强大而实质虚弱的敌人。词组ride the tiger表示以非常不 确定或危险的方式生活。

四. 兔——Hare
在英国俚语中，hare指坐车不买票的人。与hare组成的词组有：make a hare of sb.愚弄某人。start a hare。在讨论中提出枝节问题。例如：You start a hare ever time at the meeting.每次讨论你都提出与题无关的问题。英语中有许多关于兔的谚语，如：
1. First catch your hare.勿谋之过早（意指：不要过于乐观）。
2. You cannot run with the hare and hunt with hounde.不能两面讨好（意指：不要耍两面派）。

五. 龙——Dragon
龙在中国人民的心目中占有崇高的位置，有关龙的成语非常多，且含有褒义。如“龙跃凤鸣”、“龙骧虎步”等。在外国语言中，赞扬龙的词语非常之少，且含有贬义。如“dragon”指凶暴的人，严厉的人，凶恶严格的监护人，凶恶的老妇人等。以dragon组成的词组也多含贬义。如dragon’s teeth ：相互争斗的根源；排列或多层的楔形反坦克混克混凝土障碍物。the old Dragon：魔鬼。

六. 蛇——Snake
指冷酷阴险的人，虚伪的人，卑鄙的人；美国俚语指追求和欺骗少女的男子或男阿飞。由 此看到，在英语中，“snake”往往含有贬义。如：
John’s behavior should him to be a snake.
约翰的行为表明他是一个冷酷阴险的人。
与snake组成的成语习语、谚语有许多，简举几例：
a snake in the grass.潜伏的敌人或危险。
to warm a snake in one’s bosom.养虎贻患，姑息坏人。Takd heed of the snake in the grass.草里防蛇。

七. 马——Horse
英美国家的人很喜欢马，因此，用“horse”这个词组成的词组、成语、谚语非常之多，此举几例：
1. get on the high horse.摆架子，目空一切。
2. work like a horse.辛苦的干活。
3. horse doctor.兽医、庸医。
4. dark horse.竞争中出人意料的获胜者。
如：The voters were surprised when the dark horse won the nomination.那个无名小卒在竞争中获胜时，投票者无不大吃一惊。

八. 羊——Sheep
英语中指害羞而忸怩的人，胆小鬼，驯服的人。有关sheep的谚语不少。
1. As well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb.
偷羊偷羔都是绞（死）；偷大偷小统是贼 （意指：一不做，二不休）。
2. There’s a black sheep in every flock.
每一羊群里都会有一只黑羊，丑儿子家家有（意指：每个家里都会有个败家子。）
3. He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten by the wolf.
甘心做绵羊，早晚喂 豹狼（人弱受人欺）。
4. The sheep who tallks peace with a wolf will soon be mutton.
羊向狼乞求和平，很快就会变成羊肉（意指，切勿向敌人乞求和平）。

九. 猴——Monkey
1、monkey作名词时指顽童、淘气鬼，猴子似的人，易受欺的人。如：What are you doing, you young monkey !你在干什么呀，小捣蛋鬼！
2、monkey作动词时指胡闹、瞎弄、捣蛋。如：Stop monkeying about with the TV set !不 要瞎弄电视机！
3、与monkey一词搭配的词组、习语和俚语很多非常有趣。如：put sb’s monkey up.使某人生气，激怒某人；Your last word has really put his monkey up.你最后一句话实在使他大为生气；又如：make a monkey of愚弄；a monkey with a long tail.抵押；get the monkey off.戒除吸毒恶习；have a monkey on one’s back.毒瘾很深。

十. 鸡——Cock
指首领，头目，神气十足的人，与cock组成的词组多姿多彩，如：Cock of the walk / school.支配别人的人；a cock of the loft / dunghill.在小天地中称王称霸的人；Live like fighting cocke.生活很好，尤指吃得好；Cock - and - bull story.荒诞的故事， 无稽之谈。
用cock表达的谚语：It is a sad house where the hen crows louder than the cock.牝 鸡司晨，家之不祥（意指：丈夫软弱而一切由妻子作主的家庭是不会幸福的，当然这是一 种夫权思想）。

十一. 狗——Dog
汉语中常用“狗”比喻人，如“忠实走狗”、“看家狗”，成语“狗苟蝇营”、“狗彘不若”等。在英语中除了喻人外，还有丰富多彩的词组、谚语等。dog作名词时指无赖汉，坏蛋、废物，不受喜爱（或欢迎）的人。有时加形容词修饰可指各 种人，如：You dirty dog !你这个坏小子！a lucky dog.幸运儿；a dumb dog.沉默不语 的人，a sly dog.暗中寻欢的人和暗地里偷鸡摸狗的人；a dog in the manger.占着茅坑 不拉屎的人。
用dog表达的谚语：
1. Barking dogs seldom bite.吠犬不咬人（意指：对于高声发出恐吓，或惯于大声吼叫的人，勿须当真）。
2. Every dog has his day.凡人皆有得意日（意指：大家都有走运的一天）。
3. Dog does not eat dog.同类不相残；同室不操戈。

十二. 猪——Boar
在英语中boar一词指未阉割的公猪和公野猪，涉及猪的词语有pig（猪、小猪、野猪），hog（食用猪）、sow（牝猪），swine（猪：旧用法）。十二生肖用boar，比喻贪婪、肮脏、自私的人。

The year of your birth does not just indicate your age! According to the Chinese system of Astrology, the year of birth indicates a certain phase or aspect of a sixty-year cycle of time. Three systems are used for counting and classifying the years: The ten Heavenly Stems, the twelve Earthly Branches and the twelve Animals. The exact origins of the twelve animal system remain unknown. However, legend has it that, once upon a time, the Jade King was bored, having nothing to do in Heaven. He did not see what was happening on Earth, as he had servants satiating his every wish and desire. He decided that he wanted to see the animals that inhabited the earth so he sent word to his advisors to bring him twelve animals (which he considered to be a good sampling.) The advisor first sent an invitation to the Rat, telling him to also bring the cat. The Rat's jealousy prevented the cat from actually receiving the invitation. Further invitations were sent on to the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Ram, the Monkey, the Rooster and the Dog, asking for their presence at the palace the following day. When they lined up in front of the king, he found that they numbered only eleven, instead of twelve as he had requested. The king sent his servant down to Earth to retrieve a twelfth animal. The servant ran into a man carrying a Pig, and he hastily grabbed it and delivered it to the king. The animals stood in front of the king in no particular order. The Rat, being smaller than the rest, hopped on the Ox's back and proceeded to play the flute. The king was very impressed by this display. He gave the Rat first place. Second place was given to the Ox for its good sportsmanship, and third was given to the Tiger, who appeared so courageous. The Rabbit was given fourth place, the Dragon fifth, the Snake sixth, the Horse seventh, the Ram eighth, the Monkey ninth, the Rooster tenth and the Dog eleventh.

Chinese zodiac signs represent twelve different types of personalities. The zodiac traditionally begins with the sign of the Rat, and there are many stories about the origins of the Chinese Zodiac which explain why this is so (see below).

In Chinese astrology the animal signs assigned by year represent what others perceive you as being or how you present yourself. It is a common misconception that the animals assigned by year are the only signs, and many western descriptions of Chinese astrology draw solely on this system. In fact, there are also animal signs assigned by month (called inner animals) and hours of the day (called secret animals).

To sum it up, while a person might appear to be a dragon because they were born in the year of the dragon, they might also be a snake internally and an ox secretively. In total, this makes for 8,640 possible combinations (60 year cycle (5 elements x 12 animals) x 12 months x 12 times of day) that a person might be. These are all considered critical for the proper use of Chinese astrology[citation needed].

In Chinese astrology each individual personality is associated with an animal sign that represents it. It is a common misconception that there are only the singular animals assigned by year. Many western descriptions of Chinese astrology descriptions draw solely on this system. In fact, there are also animal signs assigned by month and hours of the day.
The animal signs assigned by year represent what others perceive you as being or how you present yourself. The full 60 year cycle is a combination of the 12 animals with each of five possible elements, which distinctively vary the base animal's personality (12 x 5 = 60). The inner animal speaks directly to what motivates a person and is assigned by the month of birth. Since this dictates your love life and inner persona it is critical to a proper understanding of your compatibility with other signs. The secret animal is assigned by the hour of birth and so it is important to know the exact time of birth to determine it correctly. It is your own true sign which your personality is based on. It is important to compensate for daylight saving time or any clock adjustment performed by your country in determining this sign, as it is mapped according to the sun's location and not the local time.
To sum it up, while a person might appear to be a dragon they might actually be a snake internally and an ox secretively. Combined with the five elements, this makes for 8 640 possible combinations (five elements, 12 animals, 12 months, 12 times of day) that a person might be. These are all are critical for the proper use of Chinese astrology. Many Western displays of the Chinese zodiac omit these, as well as the elements, for easier consumption and understanding.

The 12 zodiac animals
The following are the twelve zodiac signs in order. The first symbol is simply the name of the animal written in Chinese, while the second symbol is the character specifically used in astrology to denote the animal sign.
鼠 子 Rat 牛 丑 Ox 虎 寅 Tiger 兔 卯 Rabbit 龙 辰 Dragon 蛇 巳 Snake 马 午 Horse
羊 未 Sheep 猴 申 Monkey 鸡 酉 Rooster 狗 戌 Dog 猪 亥 Pig
Legend describes the order of the zodiac was determined through a race, in which the rat cheated by standing on the ox's head and jumping ahead of him when they reached the finish line.

2 The Zodiac is part of an elaborate and laborious system based on Chinese astronomy, cosmology, and divination. It was used as a method for counting years, months, days and hours in the Chinese imperial court and civil calendar, and as a system for forecasting one's future and determining one's character. Although replaced in modern times by the Gregorian calendar, the Zodiac is still used today (unofficially) as a popular method of divination in many Asian and Western nations. Furthermore, the Zodiac is the preeminent calendar of old-world Asia. Its 60-year (sexagenary) cycle is still of crucial importance to modern art historians, for it helps them pinpoint the date of artwork made in much earlier times.
Most scholars believe the Chinese Zodiac originated sometime before 1100 BC, well before the Historical Buddha's birth in India around 500 BC. The system grew more elaborate and complex over the centuries, but its importance in China ensured its acceptance elsewhere, and thus it greatly influenced and colored the subsequent development of Buddhist traditions throughout Asia. In China, where Buddhism was introduced in the 1st & 2nd centuries AD, the 12 Zodiac animals became associated with Buddhism's 12 Heavenly Generals as early as the Sui Dynasty (581-618 AD).
When Buddhism arrived in Japan in the mid-6th century AD, the Japanese eagerly imported both the Buddhist teachings and the Zodiac calendar -- the calendar was officially adopted in 604 AD. In Japan, the Zodiac calendar is known as Kanshi or Eto (干支 | えと), and the 12 animals of the Zodiac are known as the Juuni Shi (十二支). The Zodiac's popularity in Japan peaked during the Edo Era (1600-1868 AD), by which time each of the 12 animals were commonly associated with one of eight Buddhist patron deities. At many Japanese temples even today, visitors can still purchase small protective amulets or carvings of their patron Buddhist-Zodiac deity
