Think about all the nursery rhymes you heard when you were growing up－Baa Baa Black Sheep, Three Blind Mice, Old Mac-Donald Had a Farm and others.想想你成長過程中聽過的所有童謠——「咩咩黑羊」、「三隻瞎老鼠」、「老唐納德有個農場」等等。 It seems that children always sing about cute, harmless animals, or at least these songs fit the picture of Western adults' expectations of children.孩子們似乎總是唱可愛、無害的動物，或者至少這些歌曲符合西方成年人對孩子們的期望。 You may not know that the first nursery rhymes children learn in China will almost definitely involve Two Tigers.你可能不知道，中國孩子學的第一首兒歌幾乎肯定和《兩隻老虎》有關。 It uses the tune of the classic French song Frere Jacques and has been introduced to China.它採用了法國經典歌曲《雅克兄弟》的曲調，並被介紹到中國。 Another verse engraved in everyone's childhood memories starts,"One, two, three, four, five; hunt tigers on the hillside."另一首銘刻在每個人童年記憶中的詩是這樣開始的:「一、二、三、四、五，上山打老虎。」 Chinese children seem to have tiger hunting running in their veins even before they grow up and read about mighty heroes who single-handedly defeated tigers in classic novels.中國孩子似乎在成長之前就已經有了打老虎的習慣，在經典小說中讀到過單槍匹馬打敗老虎的英雄。 When it comes to small children, senior family members often want their descendants to be "tiger-headed and tiger-minded", which means having a healthy and strong build as well as an honest, down-to-earth character.談到小孩子，長輩們往往希望他們的後代「虎頭虎腦」，這意味着要有健康強壯的體格，以及誠實、腳踏實地的性格。 Under the Chinese zodiac, 2022 marks the Year of the Tiger.根據中國的十二生肖，2022年是虎年。 To celebrate Lunar New Year,it is a good idea to prepare a few traditional soft tiger toys to adorn your home or to give to children as mascots for blessings.為了慶祝農曆新年，最好準備一些傳統的軟老虎玩具來裝飾你的家，或者送給孩子們作為吉祥物來祝福。
