【双语】你好！中国 | 十二生肖之猛虎下山势不可挡

在十二生肖中，数老虎最为威风霸气。虎为兽中之王，在生肖文化中是威武雄壮、权势的象征，能辟邪。

Among the twelve zodiac signs, the tiger holds the greatest majesty. The tiger, king of the beasts, symbolizes power and authority in Chinese zodiac culture, capable of warding off evil.

虎前额上的花纹构成中国的“王”字，事实上，中国的“王”字就是因为老虎而来的。虎是森林之王，因此中国人巧妙地以它前额上的花纹作为一个汉字，意思是统治者。如今，这个字已成为了百家姓中的一个了。

The patterns on the tiger's forehead form the Chinese character for "king". In fact, the character "king" in Chinese is derived from the tiger. As the king of the forest, the tiger's forehead pattern cleverly became a Chinese character, signifying rulership. Today, this character has become part of Chinese surnames.

虎是威严与权势的象征，言谈举止一派凛然不可侵犯的王者气度，是不可得罪的也是惹不起的，于是民谚中就有这样的说法∶“老虎的屁股摸不得”“老虎的胡子谁敢摸”。属虎人活力四射，对生活乐观，具有感染力。同时，属虎人又是诚实、柔情和慷慨的人，而且有奇妙的幽默感。

It can be seen that the tiger symbolizes majesty and power, with an aura of invincibility in speech and demeanor, unassailable and untouchable. Hence, there's a folk saying: "You can't touch a tiger's bottom" and "Who dares to touch a tiger's whiskers". People born in the Year of the Tiger have infectious vitality and optimism towards life. They are also honest, compassionate, and generous individuals with a wonderful sense of humor.
