Horse 馬
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
年份：民國三十一年、四十三年、五十五年、六十七年、七十九年、九十一年
Just like the snake, you can expect great things from this year. In 2010 horses can use their famous wit and love of crowds to build relationships that will last a lifetime. Try to identify the relationships that you have neglected recently and resolve to improve them — you won’t be disappointed by the results.
Horses are typically very athletic and love the outdoors. Make sure you maintain this good habit in 2010, because you may have a propensity to overeat. One of your weaknesses is your habit of multitasking and leaving jobs unfinished, but if you start a new health program, you should do your best to see it through.
和蛇一樣，肖馬者今年的運勢也很好。可充分利用他們眾所週知的機智與博愛，建立能持續一輩子的關係。可以找找近日疏於聯繫的親友，好好改善你們之間的關係，結果絕不會讓你失望。
肖馬者通常運動細胞很好，而且熱愛戶外運動。二Ｏ一Ｏ年要繼續維持這個好習慣，因為你可能會有過量飲食的傾向。你的缺點之一是習慣同時處理很多事，因此很多工作都沒能徹底完成；若你要展開新的健康計畫，最好能徹底力行。
Goat 羊

Goats are sociable people, but while they like to be in crowds they don’t feel comfortable being the center of attention. Goats are usually happy staying at home and avoid taking risks, but in 2010 you will take a few chances. The bad news is that you will probably make a few bad decisions in the early part of the year. But as the year goes by more opportunities will arise, so learn from your mistakes and use your famous creativity to make the most of these opportunities.
Keep your eyes open for jobs in teaching, hairdressing, acting, illustrating and editing — you will thrive in any of these creative professions.
肖羊者善於交際，雖然他們喜歡與人相處，卻不習慣成為眾人注目的焦點。屬羊的人多半喜歡待在家裡，不喜歡冒險，但二Ｏ一Ｏ年你會碰上一些冒險的機會。不幸的是，今年上半年你可能會做出若干不好的決定。但是到了下半年，會有更多機會出現，所以只要能從錯誤中學習，再善用你眾所週知的創意，就可以抓住這些機會好好表現。
今年可以張大眼睛留意教書、美髮、演藝、插畫和編輯相關的工作機會──你在這些需要高度創意的專業工作上會有很好的表現。
Monkey 猴

Curious, mischievous and crafty, monkeys are fun to be around and always have some sort of scheme in the pipeline. A word of warning: even though your intentions are good, people can mistake your playfulness for malevolence, which will lead to you alienating a close friend early in the year. When this happens, stay cool and do your best to repair the relationship.
Monkeys rarely get sick and this year will be no exception. So use your energy and vigor to make the most of a business opportunity that will arise. And don’t worry about taking a risk — it will almost certainly pay off!
(JOHN PHILLIPS, STAFF WRITER)
和好奇、調皮和機伶的肖猴者相處總是特別愉快，而且他們似乎老是在盤算著什麼。提醒你一句：雖然你沒有惡意，但別人可能會把你的玩笑解讀為惡意捉弄。年初時可能會因此和好友鬧得不愉快。若真如此，要保持冷靜，盡力修補關係。
肖猴者很少生病，今年也不例外。所以可以把精力和體力善用在即將來臨的商業機會上。不必擔心風險的問題──這一定會成功的!（翻譯：袁星塵）

Donburi, often simply called don, is a beloved Japanese dish that consists of a bowl of steamed rice topped with various other ingredients. The word donburi itself actually means “bowl” in Japanese, but it has come to represent much more than just a vessel. Donburi first emerged during the Edo period (1603–1867) as a quick and convenient meal for busy city dwellers. By the 19th century, donburi had become immensely popular among theater enthusiasts, who often purchased these portable meals to enjoy during long performances. Una-don, a donburi topped with grilled eel, was a particular favorite. Easy-to-carry and satisfying,
