Happy Year of the Dragon! Vicky and I discuss the personality characteristics of those born under the dragon sign. Some useful words/phrases for today's minisode: 本命年 (běnmìngnián)- Basically, "Your Year" or "One's Own Year". If you were born in the year of the dragon, then you get to say the following: "今年是我的本命年" (Jīnnián shì wǒ de běnmìngnián)"This year is my year" - or "This is the year of my animal sign" Of course, if you say that, then you can then say, "我在暴露我的年纪"(Wǒ zài bàolù wǒ de niánjì)"I'm revealing my age" Because the Dragon Year comes every 12 years, so either you've just been born (not too likely if you're already talking), are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72...and so on. 很受欢迎的属相 (Hěn shòu huānyíng de shǔxiang)- A popular animal sign 优点 (Yōudiǎn) strengths 缺点 (Quēdiǎn) shortcoming Here are the strengths/shortcomings of those born in the Dragon Year: 优点:Yōudiǎn 热情奔放 — (Rèqíng bēnfàng)Passionate and unrestrained, Bubbling with enthusiasm 活力四溢 - (Huólì sì yì)overflowing with energy 聪明机智 - (Cōngmíng jīzhì) clever and witty 头脑灵活 (Tóunǎo línghuó)Smart, Lit: Flexible Brain 勇于追求梦想,不惧困难。(Yǒngyú zhuīqiú mèngxiǎng bù jù kùnnán)Dares to pursue dreams without fear of difficulties。 缺点 Shortcomings 高傲自负 (Gāo'ào zìfù)Arrogant, Conceited 缺乏耐心 (Quēfá nàixīn)Lacking in Patience 难以接受失败 (Nányǐ jiēshòu shībài)Has difficulty accepting failure 祝你们大家龙年大吉啊!(Zhù nǐmen dàjiā lóng nián dàjí a!)
