English is a neutral-ized language. English is constructed by a combination of Germanic Anglo-Saxon languages and French.
Whenever a German word like the sun, which is feminine and the French version is masculine, or vice versa with the word moon, the ENGLISH VERSION is neutral.
In Chinese, there are no masculine-feminine distinctions.
