程度の副詞

J: If you haven't seen our faces before, I'm Jessica.

C: We are here for a total of seven weeks.

J: Which is a lovely little seaside town, where it's currently snowing.

J: And we're on the beach most of the time. C: Smug much?

C: We're currently in Kuala Lumpur, which is the capital of Malaysia,

visiting my relatives, as I am half-Malaysian.

C: And... J: And we came to see them for Chinese New Year!

J: We did the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations and festivities

and we thought that we would talk to you guys about Chinese New Year

J: and the Zodiac, and what it means! C: Yeah.

J: But B) because our Zodiacs fit us really, really well

and so we're intrigued to see whether your Zodiac fits you really well.

and then you can tell us whether that is actually true or not.

C: tell you about you, according to one--this is an important thing.

C: You're gonna use one site, because depending which site you go to,

you can make your future how you want it to.

J: If you don't like one, just find another. It's fine. C: Yeah, be like...

C: Generally, the summary of the characteristics of each animal that you're assigned to

C: In my past thirty years (yes, I'm thirty),

when I've met people, I'm like, "Oh, what Chinese Sign are you?"

('cause that's the first question I obviously ask them)

I'm like, "Oh, yeah, that kind of makes sense, because you're like this..."

I'm lying, I don't know off by heart what each animal Sign's characteristics are,

C: but when I look them up... J: Well, let's just begin with what they actually are!

And I had to mention that I'm born in January

because the Chinese Lunar New Year is based on the Chinese calendar

and the New Year generally falls at the end of January or the beginning of February

J: and not... C: Yeah. And it's to do with the cycle of the moon,

C: rather than a calendar itself. J: And not the Gregorian calendar.

J: So, because I was born before Chinese New Year,

I have the same chara--I have the same Zodiac as if you were born in 1988--I don't know, I'm waffling.

C: Got there in the end. J: If you were born in January or February,

J: be careful; find out when the New Year was that year.

the first day of Chinese New Year was the four...

C: --no, sixteenth of February? J: Sixteenth. Yeah.

C: So, yeah, if you were born before Chinese New Year this year, you are a Rooster.

J: And if you were born after, you're a Dog.

J: Not that you're watching this, obviously,

or understanding what's happening, because you're like a month old.

C: Those different things, though - Ying / Yang, and then the elements like Wood, Fire, Water, Earth...

C: I think there's Air, as well. J: Oh, yeah. There are five elements

in the Chinese cycle, and they cycle through each time

and - each time your Sign comes up in the zodiac -

So, it’s Fire, Wood, Metal, Water, Air.

C: So, the cycle is of twelve. There are twelve animals.

So, each year – each Chinese year is assigned an animal –

C: you then are one of the five elements. J: Yep.

And also, the Yin and Yang part is more just--that’s kind of set, because depending what animal you are,

C: you’re either a Yin or you're a Yang animal. J: It’s very specific.

J: Yes. C: And the Dragon is a Yang animal.

J: And that is because Yin animals have an even number of claws

and Yang animals have an odd number of claws

and the only exception to this is the Rat, which is both Yin or Yang.

rats have four claws at the front and five at the back!

J: Isn’t that intriguing? C: The whole thing’s a bit random, to be honest, like...
