- 1n/ˈliːoʊ/ · /ˈliːəʊ/Leo (star sign)獅子座
The fifth sign of the zodiac, shown as a lion. It covers people born in a period from late July to late August, and some people believe it shapes the character and the life of anyone born then.
文法不可數名詞：通常不加 a/an，也不加 -s 來表示複數。
「Leo」在拉丁文裡就是獅子。十二星座裡它排第五個。符號畫的也是一隻獅子。講星座本身的時候不加 a，也不加 s。例如 Leo starts in late July。日期大約從七月底到八月底。不同的書給的日期會差一兩天，所以講大概的時間比較安全。印度式的算法日期差更多。英文問星座通常說 What is your sign？回答時直接說 Leo 就好。注意：同一個字也可以指「獅子座的人」，那個用法是可數的。
示範例句 · Example
The app says that Leo begins on July 24 this year.
中文翻譯這個應用程式說，獅子座今年從七月二十四號開始。
This is the sign itself, not a person. Because it names one thing, it is used without a or the plural: Leo starts in late July. The dates are July 24 to August 23; other books say July 23 to August 22, so it is safer to say late July to late August. Sidereal astrology uses different dates again. English speakers ask about this with What is your sign? The lion comes with the sign everywhere: the symbol is a lion, and the name is simply the Latin word for one.

- 2n/ˈliːoʊ/ · /ˈliːəʊ/person born under Leo獅子座的人
A person who was born in the period from late July to late August, and so belongs to the sign of Leo.
文法可數名詞：前面可以加 a/an，要表示複數時常常加 -s。
這個用法把星座變成一個人的標籤。所以它是可數的，例如 She is a Leo、They are Leos。前面一定要加 a 或 the。它出現在很日常的場合：聊生日、剛認識、雜誌和社群貼文。講完常會接著說 Leos 是什麼樣的人，多半說很有自信、喜歡被看見。那是星座說法，不是事實，講的人常常半開玩笑。中文就是「獅子座的」「他是獅子座」。
Here the sign becomes a label for a person, so the word turns countable: she is a Leo, they are Leos. It belongs to ordinary friendly talk — birthdays, first meetings, magazines and social posts. People often go on to say what Leos are supposed to be like, usually confident and fond of attention. That is what the astrology tradition says, not a fact about anyone, and English speakers who say it are often half joking.
