Do you have an English name? I find there is one thing in China: I think the names are very interesting.
One of my Chinese friends calls herself (她自己) Big Bird, like the girl from the children's TV show(节目) Sesame Street(《芝麻街》). She has students with the names Tomato and Potato. Before I come to China, I don't know anyone(任何人) with these names.
Sometimes they have the names from someone(某人) they like. But sometimes they only want their names to have the same meaning(意义) as their Chinese names.
I know a girl named Shmily. It stands for(代表)"see how much I love you". It's interesing. And it is my favorite English name. Tell (告诉) me,
| A. People have these special (特别的) English names for different reasons (原因). B. Lots of people have special English names. C. Another (另一) one of my friends is an English teacher. D. So what is your English name? E. It can be fun to have a special and interesting English name. |
