  1. 1n/ˌsædʒəˈtɛriəs/ · /ˌsædʒɪˈtɛəriəs/the star sign射手座

    The ninth sign of the zodiac, shown as an archer who is half horse and half person, drawing a bow. It covers people born between November 23 and December 21, and some people believe a sign like this shapes a person's character and life.

    文法不可數名詞：通常不加 a/an，也不加 -s 來表示複數。

    Sagittarius 是黃道十二星座的第九個。它的圖案是一個半人半馬的射手，正拉著弓。生日在 11 月 23 日到 12 月 21 日之間的人，就屬於這個星座。有些人相信星座會影響性格和運氣。也有很多人只把它當成聊天的話題。這個意思講的是「星座本身」，所以前面通常不加 a。常見說法像是 my sign is Sagittarius、born under Sagittarius。如果要說「某個人是射手座」，這個字就變成可數，要說 a Sagittarius，那是另一個用法。

    示範例句 · Example

    My birthday is December 5th, so my sign is Sagittarius.

    中文翻譯我的生日是十二月五日，所以我的星座是射手座。

    In this meaning the word names the sign itself, not a person. Its picture is an archer with the body of a horse, pulling a bow. If your birthday falls between November 23 and December 21, this is the sign you are given. Some people believe the sign shapes your character and your luck; other people just enjoy talking about it. Because the word names one thing, you normally use it with no 'a': my sign is Sagittarius, born under Sagittarius. When you call a person one, the word turns countable and you say 'a Sagittarius' — that is the next sense.

  2. 2n/ˌsædʒəˈtɛriəs/ · /ˌsædʒɪˈtɛəriəs/person born under the sign射手座的人

    A person who was born between November 23 and December 21, and who therefore belongs to the sign Sagittarius.

    文法可數名詞：前面可以加 a/an，要表示複數時常常加 -s。

    這個用法把星座名拿來稱呼「人」。它是可數名詞，前面要加 a。複數是 Sagittariuses。說 He is a Sagittarius，等於中文的「他是射手座的」。這句話最直接的訊息是他的生日落在 11 月底到 12 月中。在閒聊裡，它也常順帶暗示這個人有大家說的那種個性。跟上一個用法的差別只在一個 a：有 a 就是在講人，沒有 a 就是在講星座本身。

    Here the sign's name is used for a person. You count it like any ordinary noun: a Sagittarius, two Sagittariuses. It is a quick way to say when someone was born, and in everyday talk it often carries the idea that the person has the character people link with the sign. The sentence pattern is simply be + a + sign name: she is a Sagittarius.

    常見搭配

    • be a Sagittarius

      是射手座的人

      to have Sagittarius as your star sign

      I am a Sagittarius, so my birthday is always near the exams.

    • a typical Sagittarius
