Miss Xiao, we're a company with a legitimate business license! Even the elite business marketing professors at Harvard University have praised this kind of pyramid structure. It's the best for stimulating people's potential and conscious activity! Think about it, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight-- your income will increase geometrically. Eventually, the company will give you a private car, and two five-star trips per year. You'll be able to wear the ''Pyramid Crown!"

我们常常在起名时营造符合生肖的生活环境，借此预示宝宝生活舒适，顺风顺水。比如生肖为兔、马、羊、牛的这些生肖，则起名用“茵”“草”“荫”等和草地相关的字。

wǒmen chángcháng zài qǐmíng shí yíngzào fúhé shēngxiào de shēnghuó huánjìng ，jiècǐ yùshì bǎobao shēnghuó shūshì ，shùnfēng shùnshuǐ 。bǐrú shēngxiào wèi tù 、mǎ 、yáng 、niú de zhèxiē shēngxiào ，zé qǐmíng yòng “yīn ”“cǎo ”“yìn ”děng hé cǎodì xiāngguān de zì 。

When choosing a name we often use a character that fits with the habitat of the animals of the zodiac, which is used to predict that the baby will have a comfortable life and that things will go well for him or her. For example, with zodiac animals like the rabbit, the horse, the goat and the ox, you get names with characters with the grass radical on the top, like "茵", meaning "mattress", "草", meaning "grass" and "荫" meaning "shade".
