取名字很重要
特别是出了国,一个好叫好记的洋名更是少不了……
要知道,我们这些Asian的名,
叫起中文来时还不错,
可是BirthCert,IC那些英文名呢?
呵呵呵……
用汉语拼音取的倒还好,
但,
有的是父母用方言编的,
有的也是不懂怎样拼凑出来的……
比如,
我爸爸的朋友:徐亚国,
英文名:Si ah gao==’’
真是笑死街坊!
想当年(哇老,真的老了……‘当年’都出来了。),
初到Aussie的我,
刚开始上课,
老师为了方便记得我们,
就一个一个问我们的Preference Name……
……
到我了,
Tutor: Are you ‘loong’?
HL: Yes,I am Loong
班上传来了一阵笑声……
@@’’
‘oi,zomok?!’
我自己对自己呐喊道。
原来……
大家听到的对话是:
Tutor: Are you ‘long'?
HL: Yes, I am LONG.
好情色哦~~
............
随后一年,
上了大学的我,
为了摆脱‘long’的情色包袱,
我毅然换了han这个名,
好咯!
这个名T^T……
掀起我名字笑话的另一波高潮。
上日文课,
日文老师叫我Han-san,
han-san han-san……
每个人不是Ann-san, Ivy-san,
就是Vincent-san,
我的Han-san,
感觉就很像中国汉人,
每每被叫到,
真的有种说不出的微妙感受……
---------------------------------------------------------------------
再来,
就像我,
‘张汉隆’
华文笔画就够多了……
英文就更不用说了,
Chong Han Loong..
……
记得小时候,
不管PTS,UPSR,PMR,SPM,仰至统考~
我最pek cek最痛恨就是要用电脑改的考卷!
那时,英文名字长如我的人,
就得用2B笔一个字母一个字母的涂黑黑……
事隔20载,
上了大学的我,
还是离不开这魔咒,
考试时,
每每那多出来的10分钟Reading Time,
对我来说,
根本就是屁!
是异次元多出来,不存在的时间!
看我BB,
Lee Wen,2分钟搞定!
我,要涂这个写那个,
人家都开始动笔写了,
我还在……T^T
我常说:
‘尿都要流出来了’
就是从这里体会到的~
………
所以我说,
取名字要think twice before decide。
名字要简洁有力,
不要冗长沉闷;
简洁自然有力,
冗长自然沉闷……
像之前,
我姐姐的小孩要出世了,
名字一直拿不定主意~
这时,
我们3兄弟吭声了!:
不如男的话就叫梦达,女的叫均汝怎样?
姐姐心想:
哇!均汝还好,梦达真的不错!
我就说了:
姐夫姓巫,
所以孩子就叫巫梦达(吴孟达),
巫均汝(吴君如)~~~
哈哈哈!
@@’’
姐姐无言……
‘不然,巫婆怎样?’
她说……
哇!说到这里……
原来,姓也很重要。
所以,
要有个好名字,
起先,
我们要先投对胎!
这就是取名字的要诀了~
这就是现在的小潼潼了~
可爱吧?
