2010 promises to be a fantastic year for rats, with the prospect of true love a very strong possibility. The alignment of the planets means that single rats can expect to find a partner while rats who are already in a relationship will see the relationship with their loved one improve. Dragons and monkeys make ideal partners but horses and rabbits are best avoided.
Rats are naturally charming but remember to use your charm for good and never for ill. Direct your energy towards business ventures and you’re sure to be handsomely rewarded.
肖鼠者二Ｏ一Ｏ年的運勢非常好，很可能會遇到真命天子或真命天女。今年行星排列的方式顯示，單身肖鼠者可望在今年找到伴侶，而已有交往對象的人和另一半的關係也將更加穩定。交往對象方面，肖龍者和肖猴者都是不錯的選擇，但最好避開肖馬者和肖兔者。
肖鼠者天生就很有魅力，但記住要把魅力用在好的地方，千萬別用在壞處。在財運方面，今年若集中火力作一些商業投資，將會是豐收的一年。
Ox 牛
Years: 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
年份：民國三十八年、五十年、六十二年、七十四年、八十六年、九十八年
For those born in the Year of the Ox, it would be prudent to take stock of your situation to avoid any nasty surprises later on in the year. That’s because in 2010 your motivation for work will take a dip, which is out of character for oxen who are typically the most hard-working zodiac.
As an ox, you prefer to spend your free time engaging in solitary pursuits such as gardening and carpentry. The planets indicate that this year is a great time for you to learn a new language, but you will have to push yourself out of your comfort zone if you want to make significant progress.
牛年出生的人今年宜謹慎評估後再行動，以免事後出現惱人的意外。今年在工作上較欠缺幹勁，這對平常是十二生肖中最努力工作的肖牛者而言很反常。
肖牛者空閒時通常喜歡從事一些單獨的消遣活動，例如園藝和木工等。星象顯示，今年很適合學習新的語言，只要不貪圖安逸享樂，就能有長足的進步。
Tiger 虎
Years: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
年份：民國三十九年、五十一年、六十三年、七十五年、八十七年、九十九年
Brave, competitive and unpredictable, tigers typically live a roller coaster life in the fast lane. Yet curiously, despite 2010 being the Year of the Tiger, you will struggle to find any momentum in your life. Expect little progress this year with regards to health, money or love.
With their boundless energy, tigers are known to leap from job to job. Tigers who can tame this impulse in 2010 will reap the rewards. That’s because we are entering the Year of the Metal Tiger, which is best visualized as a tiger wearing armor, so tigers can expect to feel constrained all year. But it may be wise to ignore that feeling to jump to something new — instead stick with what you have until the year is out.

勇敢、好勝又難以捉摸的肖虎者，生活常像坐雲霄飛車一樣刺激。奇怪的是，儘管二Ｏ一Ｏ年是虎年，你卻得費很大的勁兒才能找到一點生活的動力。今年在健康、財富或愛情方面都沒有太大的進展。
肖虎者有無窮的精力，因此常換工作。今年能克服這種衝動的人，將得到很好的報酬。這是因為今年是金虎年，其最典型的形象就是穿戴盔甲的老虎，因此肖虎者一整年都會感覺受到束縛。不過，克制想嘗試新鮮事的衝動或許才是明智之舉──今年凡事宜守成。 （翻譯：袁星塵）

Her face was red — not from blushing, but from the “mala” spice and the heat of the room. Her blond hair clumped to her face like strands of fine spaghetti. Her carefully applied makeup now streaked. “This isn’t what I expected,” she said softly, forcing a smile. All around them, Kevin’s friends were laughing, shouting, and tossing ingredients into the broth. The air smelled of chili oil and garlic.
Picture this: contestants are walking gracefully across a stage, competing for the highly desired title of “most beautiful.” However, these participants aren’t fashion models—they’re camels. Welcome to the extraordinary world of the Pushkar Fair, where beauty contests take on an entirely different meaning. The Pushkar Fair is held annually in the small desert town of Pushkar, India, usually in November. It began as a livestock trading event where farmers and herders gathered to buy and sell camels, horses and cattle. Over time, it has grown into a major cultural carnival that attracts thousands of tourists from around the world.
A: Major League Baseball’s 2025 World Series took place last week. The games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays were so exciting. B: As the highest-paid baseball player in the world, Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers was an incandescant superstar. A: The Dodgers signed a record-breaking 10-year, US$700 million contract with Ohtani in 2023. As former ESPN reporter Joon Lee analyzed, the team quickly made back all the investment in the player’s first season. B: Wow, how is that possible?
