  Capricorn

  /ˋkæprɪˏkɔrn/ 摩羯座

  【原文】Combining a strong wit and a love of humor, the Capricorn makes for terrific company for those they choose as friends. They will surround themselves with people who are honest, loyal, and like-minded when it comes to working values.

  They cherish loved ones and will go any distance to help a friend or family member out. Traditional by nature, the Capricorn loves nothing more than holidays, such as Christmas, that bring people together with a variety of activities.

  Although a Capricorn isn't apt to have a large social circle, those included in this sign's life will find someone who is steadfast and true. Emotional displays are not common for a Capricorn. They would rather show how they feel through deed than express by word.

  【译文】摩羯幽默且妙语连珠,是朋友们的理想伴侣。摩羯总有诚实与忠诚的人陪伴,如果谈到工作,他们身边又都是志同道合的人。摩羯很珍惜自己爱的人,无论相隔多远,都会去帮助朋友与家人。摩羯有着传统的本性,喜欢节假日,如圣诞节等,因为这样大家可以聚在一起开展各种活动。尽管摩羯交际圈不算大,但他们生命中的人都会觉得摩羯是非常忠诚与真实的。在通常情况下,摩羯不善于流露自己的情绪,他们通常会用行动来表示,而不是用语言来表达。
