一英國老外跟我說過,一些她的東南亞朋友取的名字讓她哭笑不得,比如 Belly, Candy,Team
lucky ?
Cherry啊!
我也曾經問過老外這樣的問題:
得到的答案是,最受不了的是Sweety,Honey,Catty,Sunny,Belly等
Other names made less sense. There was a Soddy, a Sanlee, a Ker. Some
were simply unfortunate: a very small boy called Pen, a very pretty girlnamed Coconut. One boy was called Daisy, a name that greatly dismayedDean Fu. The dean was a handsome man with blue-black hair, and he wasour main liaison with the English department—a position whose weight of
responsibility often gave him a mournful air. He seemed particularly morosewhen he called me into his office to talk about Daisy.「That』s a girl』s name, isn』t it?」 Dean Fu asked.「Yes,」 I said. 「Except now in America even girls don』t like that name.」「I remember it from The Great Gatsby,」 Dean Fu said, smiling sadly. As a
student his specialty had been American literature, and he was familiar withvirtually all of the great twentieth-century novelists. He sighed and shookhis head.「Last year that student had a boy』s name,」 said the dean. 「He changed it
over the summer. I don』t know why.」
