属兔的人好静不好动，温和落落大方。
奥斯卡影帝尼古拉斯·凯奇就属兔，
一度闹过笑话。
凯奇叔出生于1964年1月，
这一年是中国的龙年，
他就以为自己是属龙的。
为了表达自己对属相的崇敬，
他特意在背上纹了龙纹身，
还千辛万苦在家里购置了一个龙造型的火炉。
然后，一个华人朋友闲聊时告诉他，
中国春节一般是从2月开始的，
生肖划分以春节为准，
所以，你应该属兔。
凯奇叔三观裂了。
过去他一直以为自己是威武霸气的龙，
突然被告知其实是只温顺可爱的兔子，
凯奇叔说：那段时间里，我很难过。我都不知道自己到底是谁了。我产生了巨大的身份认同危机。
这种反差的确让人抓狂，
就像你一直以为自己是爸妈的掌中宝，
突然有一天却发现爸妈最爱的是家里的宠物。
不过不用担心，
时间能治愈一切。
言归正传，“兔子”在英语中有三种表达方式，bunny，rabbit，hare。
那么，“兔年”用英语该怎么说呢？
首先，我们要了解这三个词的区别。
rabbit
A rabbit is a mammal that belongs to the Leporidae taxonomic family. A rabbit is fluffy, has long ears, whiskers, and a short tail. Rabbits are domestic animals.
Rabbit是兔科哺乳动物。rabbit是毛茸茸的，有长长的耳朵、胡须和短尾巴。Rabbit更适合家养。
hare
A hare also belongs to the Leporidae family. Hares have longer and stronger hind legs. They also have longer ears than their rabbit cousins. Hares are not domestic animals and should not be kept as pets.
Hare也属于兔科。Hares的后腿更长更强壮，耳朵也比它们的表亲兔子长。Hare不是家畜，不应作为宠物饲养。
bunny
It is commonly used to refer to baby rabbits, which are actually called kittens (yes, the same as what you'd call baby cats). So, scientifically, there is no such thing as a bunny. There are only rabbits (and their offspring called kittens) and hares (and their offspring, called leverets).
Bunny通常用来指小兔子，小兔子实际上被称为kittens（是的，和你所说的小猫一样）。所以，从科学上讲，没有bunny这种物种。
一言以蔽之，rabbit是家兔，hare是野兔，bunny是小兔子。
按照我们文化中对和谐稳重的追求，“兔年”应该被翻译为“ the Year of Rabbit”。
用英语介绍兔年
The rabbit is the fourth animal in the Chinese zodiac. In the Chinese culture, the rabbit is known to be the luckiest out of all the twelve animals. It symbolizes mercy, elegance, and beauty. People who are born in the year of the rabbit are calm and peaceful. They avoid fighting and arguing at all times, but are artistic and have good taste in life. This is why they pay close attention to small details and make sure everything is done correctly. They are insecure and sensitive people who don’t like to be criticized, which causes them to dislike changes. Rabbits are intelligent, and they will do everything at their best, which makes them good scholars. In the Vietnamese zodiac, a cat is in place of the rabbit.
