介绍:
主播:翩翩+Bipasha 上一期节目,我们聊到“如何给男生取英文名”。节目最后,我们答应给大家一个“彩蛋”——回复大家的留言。今天,翩翩和Bipasha就来给大家送“彩蛋”了。 “一席文化”公众号留言: --How about the girl’s name Freya? Answer: Freya is a very cute name for a girl.It has not negative connotation(没有消极负面的含义). --我想给我家未来的狗狗取名叫:Charlie Answer: Charlie is definitely a very cute name for anyone.(谁叫Charlie都好听。) --见过几个奇奇怪怪的英文名: Water/Tiger/Bird Those are names to identify objects and not people.It definitely should not be used to name someone.(Water,Tiger,Bird这些名字不能用于人。) 人类不要跟食物,动物,东西抢名,哈哈。 --Thea这个名字呢? Answer: Thea is a beautiful name. It’s based on a biblical character maybe. (这个名字可能来自《圣经》). --How about River? Answer: Bipasha’s name is also associate with the river. (Bipasha的名字就与印度的河流有关。)But the word river itself is not the best name to name anyone.(“river”这个词本身含义很好,但是,“river”作为名字,不是特别好的选择。) 如果你非常喜欢“河流”的寓意,或许你可以选用“Bipasha”的名字哦。 --女生名呢? Answer: Here it is. By the time you are listening to this, it should be out.关于女生的英文名,我们已经录好了哦,敬请期待。 --摩西是大人物,挪亚也是大人物啊。 Answer: Moses and Noah are definitely biblical names.(Moses和Noah的确是《圣经》中的人物。) And the two names are not so commonly given to young boys anymore.(年轻人叫这两个名字的不是很多。) 可能是因为“Moses”带有一点神话色彩,现在很少有人会叫Moses,但Noah这个名字还是比较常见的。 --亲爱的翩翩老师,朋友们强烈要求来份女生版的 Answer: We have already recorded a podcast on girl’s names and it should be posted soon.很快就要更新喽,请继续关注。 --阔以选 Circle 为英文名么?希望小编帮我解答。 Answer:We don't think circle is the best English name to give. “圈圈”这个名字,在汉语里听起来很可爱。但,选用“Circle”作为英文名,就非常奇怪了。这就好像说,“这是我的朋友,正方形(square)。” 或者,“这是我的朋友,长方形(rectangle)。” --我一直很想知道,取名字可以自己用字母组成新的词来命名吗? Answer: That is definitely possible.是可以的。 A lot of people nowadays have begun combining their names with their spouses to create a cute unique name for their baby.现在有很多人,会组合配偶的名字,来为自己的孩子取一个独一无二的名字。 但有时候,因为不了解英语的文化,自己取的名字,并不能算是一个真正意义上的英文名字。我们下一期节目“女孩英文名”中,关于“如何取名字”有更深入的讨论,请大家继续关注。 网易云留言: --Zoey这个怎么样? Answer: Zoey is one of Bipasha’s favorite names. It has a really nice ring to it. (听起来很好听。)Also, it is quite a common name in western countries.(在西方国家也很常见。) 女生可以取名叫Zoe,男生可以取名叫Zoey。 --想要谐音中文名取英文名怎么办呢? Answer: To be honest, it works sometimes and not always .(有时是可以的,但不总是可以。) Bipasha给出的建议是:To get a second opinion on the name you come up with, with someone who knows English names to make sure it does not sound or mean anything weird.(和懂英文名字的人请教一下,确保自己起的英文名听上去不奇怪。) --翩翩,我想取一个关于月亮的名字,我的中文名字最后两个字是玥玥。 Answer: In English it will sound a bit weird if you name yourself “moon” , but there are lot of other names that mean moon.

Answer: Irene is a very popular girl’s name all over the world.(全世界流行) --How about Weir? Answer: Not sure if it has any meaning, and it’s also our first time hearing. So we are not sure if it has any meaning or significance. 我们也不确定这个英文名是什么意思,我们也是第一次听。 --请问我这个英文名可以吗, Townsey_Steve? Answer: That’s a quite unique name.很独特的英文名。 Steve is quite a normal name, but Townsey we are not sure if it has a particular meaning or not.(Steve是一个很常见的名字,但Townsey很独特。) But it does sound good and does not have any negative meaning either.这个名字听起来不错,没有消极负面的意思。 喜马拉雅留言: 我的英文名叫Christa。 Answer: Hello Christa, you have a beautiful name almost like the word crystal.
