--Howaboutthegirl’snameFreya?
Answer: Freya is a very cute name for a girl.It has not negative connotation(沒有消極負面的含義).
--我想給我家未來的狗狗取名叫:Charlie
Answer: Charlie is definitely a very cute name for anyone.(誰叫Charlie都好聽。)
--見過幾個奇奇怪怪的英文名:Water/Tiger/Bird
Those are names to identify objects and not people.It definitely should not be used to name someone.(Water,Tiger,Bird這些名字不能用于人。)
人類不要跟食物,動物,東西搶名,哈哈。
--Thea這個名字呢?
Answer: Thea is a beautiful name. It’s based on a biblical character maybe. (這個名字可能來自《圣經(jīng)》).
--HowaboutRiver?
Answer: Bipasha’s name is also associate with the river. (Bipasha的名字就與印度的河流有關(guān)。)But the word river itself is not the best name to name anyone.(“river”這個詞本身含義很好,但是,“river”作為名字,不是特別好的選擇。)
如果你非常喜歡“河流”的寓意,或許你可以選用“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.關(guān)于女生的英文名,我們已經(jīng)錄好了哦,敬請期待。
--摩西是大人物,挪亞也是大人物啊。
Answer: Moses and Noah are definitely biblical names.(Moses和Noah的確是《圣經(jīng)》中的人物。)
And the two names are not so commonly given to young boys anymore.(年輕人叫這兩個名字的不是很多。)
可能是因為“Moses”帶有一點神話色彩,現(xiàn)在很少有人會叫Moses,但Noah這個名字還是比較常見的。
--親愛的翩翩老師,朋友們強烈要求來份女生版的
Answer: We have already recorded a podcast on girl’s names and it should be posted soon.很快就要更新嘍,請繼續(xù)關(guān)注。
--闊以選Circle為英文名么 ?希望小編幫我解答。
Answer:Wedon't think circle is the best English name to give.
“圈圈”這個名字,在漢語里聽起來很可愛。但,選用“Circle”作為英文名,就非常奇怪了。這就好像說,“這是我的朋友,正方形(square)?!?/p>
或者,“這是我的朋友,長方形(rectangle)?!?/p>
--我一直很想知道,取名字可以自己用字母組成新的詞來命名嗎?
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.現(xiàn)在有很多人,會組合配偶的名字,來為自己的孩子取一個獨一無二的名字。
但有時候,因為不了解英語的文化,自己取的名字,并不能算是一個真正意義上的英文名字。我們下一期節(jié)目“女孩英文名”中,關(guān)于“如何取名字”有更深入的討論,請大家繼續(xù)關(guān)注。
網(wǎng)易云留言:
--Zoey這個怎么樣?
Answer: Zoey is one of Bipasha’s favorite names. It has a really nice ring to it. (聽起來很好聽。)Also, it is quite a common name in western countries.(在西方國家也很常見。)
女生可以取名叫Zoe,男生可以取名叫Zoey。
--想要諧音中文名取英文名怎么辦呢?
Answer: To be honest, it works sometimes and not always .(有時是可以的,但不總是可以。)
Bipasha給出的建議是: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.(和懂英文名字的人請教一下,確保自己起的英文名聽上去不奇怪。)
--翩翩,我想取一個關(guān)于月亮的名字,我的中文名字最后兩個字是玥玥。
Answer: In English it will sound a bit weird if you name yourself “moon” , but there are lot of other names that mean moon. For example:
