盤點那些在猴年出生的名人（組圖）

In Western astrology, there are 12 astrological signs; and in Chinese astrology, there are 12 zodiac animals. They are mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. In Chinese culture, it is believed that people share some common characteristics with the zodiac of the year when they were born. For example, people who were born in the Year of the Dragon are considered lucky, and people born in the Year of the Pig are materially rich.

Feb 8, 2016 marks the start of the Year of the Monkey. And people born in the Year of the Monkey are often believed to be smart, flexible and ambitious, and can adapt to the changing environment quickly.

Many celebrities were born in the Year of the Monkey. We chose 12 of them from China and abroad. Some came and passed away, shining like meteors, while some are still with us.

西方有十二星座，中國有十二生肖，鼠牛虎兔龍蛇馬羊猴雞狗豬。在中國文化里，生肖和性格命運有著密不可分的聯系。例如，龍年出生的人被認為是幸運兒，而豬年出生的人被認為有財運。

2016年2月8日開始的農歷新年是猴年，通常認為猴年出生的人聰明、靈活、有野心，能夠隨機應變。
