Chapter 259: The Origin of the Naming
Since they have already jumped into the Yellow River and can't wash it out, it is better not to explain it than to describe it more and more black.
Duan Shanshan chose the escape tactic very unproductively.
"Mianada, I'll miss a moment, go smoke and come back. ”
Standing up and bowing, Duan Shanshan took out a cigarette from his coat pocket and wanted to run away.
"Is it so addicted to smoking, and you can't help it for so much time to drink a cup of coffee?"
Xiuying glared at Duan Shanshan with a little unpleasantness.
"It's been a morning, and it's not convenient to ...... in the car just now," Duan Shanshan explained.
The left hand that was originally on the table waved lightly a little impatiently, but Xiuying didn't delve into it, and motioned Duan Shanshan to get out of here.
Duan Shanshan, who was like being amnestied, hurriedly walked out of the dessert shop.
In recent years, the South Korean government has strictly controlled smoking in public places, and restaurants with large business areas have been able to set up smoking areas, but recently it has been heard that indoor smoking spots in such restaurants will be completely banned.
There is no smoking spot at this dessert shop, so you have to go to the curb outside the door to smoke.
In fact, the smoking rate among Koreans is relatively high, with nearly half of men and nearly 10% of women.
However, for the sake of image, female smokers generally hide in the toilet and powder room and other places to secretly smoke a few puffs, and it is rare to openly smoke a cigarette.
So, near a smoking place with an ashtray near the dessert shop, several smokers have gathered.
Because he is not used to smoking foreign cigarettes, including Korean cigarettes, Duan Shanshan has been buying cigarettes at a Chinese restaurant near his dormitory. Although his recent income is a little more than before, the level of smoking has not improved, and it is still dominated by seven wolves, red double happiness and other things around ten yuan.
What he grabbed in his hand was a bag of Liqun, which was already a relatively luxurious enjoyment for him, but his favorite brand was actually Lao Shencheng's peony, but unfortunately this cigarette was basically invisible in China, let alone expected to be able to buy it abroad.
Seeing that the packaging of his cigarette was quite fresh, several other smokers couldn't help but look at it with curiosity.
"What kind of smoke is this?" asked curiously, a middle-aged man dressed as a white-collar worker in the workplace nodded at Duan Shanshan as if he had said hello.
"Liqun, the smoke of the Celestial Empire, do you want to try it?" Duan Shanshan also generously handed the cigarette case directly to him.
The man looked at Duan Shanshan twice, smiled and waved his hand to indicate that he had. Duan Shanshan was not reluctant, and after lighting one for himself, he put the cigarette case back in his pocket.
Through the transparent glass, Xiuying turned her head sideways to watch Duan Shanshan's brief interaction with strangers she didn't know, shook her head and sighed, and indignantly picked up a small piece of mousse with a knife and fork and put it into her mouth.
Did he deliberately make a pun to show that he had more rice than Taeyeon, or did he really not think that his name and swimming were homonyms?
When she heard that, Xiuying was still a little surprised and ashamed. After the strange mood gradually calmed down, I was a little curious about the answer, who would have thought that the planning uncle would run away in shame......
Ah, even if you really like me, is it still something to be ashamed of?
So a few minutes later, when Duan Shanshan returned to his seat, Xiuyingwu had a straight face, cold as frost.
The atmosphere is very awkward, and I have to find a topic to relieve it.
Scratching the back of his head, Duan Shanshan thought so. It's just that for him, who is a social harder, he is not very good at taking the initiative to talk to people. It took a long time to think about a topic that you could give it a try......
"Xiu Yingxi, are you familiar with idioms?"
As mentioned earlier, there are idioms in Korea, but the application of Cheng dù may not be as popular as the Celestial Empire.
After rolling his eyes, Duan Shanshan asked.
"Hey, uh?" Xiuying replied angrily.
"Let's guess the riddle, the blind man in "Kkonggee & Poorge", please play an idiom. ”
Hearing Duan Shanshan mention the role he played in this spoof short film again, Xiuying finally couldn't help it and laughed.
How much do you love this VCR?
Among the nine nicknames given to us last time, Taeyeon, Sika, Sunny, Hyoyeon, and I were only nine members in total, and five of them were nicknamed in connection with this short film.
Now let me guess the idiom with my own character?
Glancing at Duan Shanshan, Xiuying snorted: "I don't know." ”
Duan Shanshan looked left and right mysteriously, and raised a hand next to his mouth to whisper: "Tell you, don't say it—it's 'a flock of chickens and a crane'!"
The so-called chicken flock and one crane is the Korean version of standing out from the crowd, and the meaning of the two is the same.
So, with Xiuying's IQ, I figured it out in an instant - in that short film, except for her, the other four are all in the short group, and she is the one with the highest long body. Standing next to those four, isn't she a veritable "chicken flock and a crane"!
"Hahaha......"
Xiuying suddenly bowed her head and fell on the table, her shoulders and back twitching rapidly, and she let out a series of demonic laughs in a suppressed manner. Although it is not as exaggerated as Taeyeon's signature aunt smile, it is also unrestrained enough.
Seeing Xiuying smiling so heartily, Duan Shanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head with a wry smile and took a small sip of his coffee to moisten his throat.
Burst into laughter for about twenty seconds almost without stopping, and then Xiuying straightened up weakly. First, I carefully rubbed my eyes with my palms, pulled out a look, and sure enough......
"Yikes!"
Across the table, she was tall and long, and she could still reach Duan Shanshan easily, and without saying a word, she pushed him angrily.
Although she is the god of food, Xiuying's figure is also extremely slender in her girlhood, almost on par with Yuna. As the two gods of food, it's really amazing to be able to lose weight like this.
However, the slight fly in the ointment is that Xiuying's face shape is fleshy, so when looking at the full-body photos and head close-ups of her figure, I occasionally feel that this can't be the same person......
In order to make her face look thinner, when her young makeup artist put on makeup for Xiuying, she often used dark eyeshadow to highlight the lying silkworm (that is, the coquettish meat often said in Korean entertainment, and the eye bags are also called in the Celestial Empire), and the method of emphasizing eye makeup attracted attention, making the audience subconsciously ignore her round cheeks.
She couldn't help but laugh out of tears just now, so the makeup was naturally a bit tragic.
Putting on a baseball cap and sunglasses, so-young hurried to the bathroom with a small bag on her shoulder, and when she returned a few minutes later, she had already touched up her makeup.
"Duan Planner, is it really good for you to complain about Taeyeon behind their backs?"
As soon as she sat down, Xiuying asked angrily.
"Mia Na Da, Mi Na Da. Duan Shanshan apologized again and again with a smiling face, and he had already prepared when Xiuying went to touch up his makeup, so he quietly began to change the topic, "By the way, Liu Zhizuò and I have always been curious, why do some of your stage names use Korean names without surnames, some use English names, some use Korean English names, and some use Korean names with surnames...... Don't you think it's a bit confusing?"
Korean names without surnames, Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, Suyoung, and Yoona are all of them.
The English names are Jessica, Sunny and Tiffany.
The English name in Korean is more winding, in fact, Duan Shanshan refers to Yu Li, her stage name is Yuri, but there is no such word in English at all.
The Korean name with the surname is naturally Seo Hyun.
Based on the above four situations, the way Girls' Generation's stage name is named does seem very inconsistent. As early as the train to Shencheng to listen to the concert, Duan Shanshan asked Liu Kewei (see chapter 18), but the latter did not answer at the time, and it is estimated that he could not understand it.
So this question has really puzzled him for almost a year.
This relatively strict question made Xiuying temporarily let go of her anger and began to explain seriously.
Ancient Korea initially directly used Chinese characters as the official written language, but Chinese is difficult to learn, not to mention that Korean and Chinese are not the same language family, so there are very few Koreans who are proficient in using Chinese characters.
In 1446 (the 11th year of the Ming Dynasty), Sejong of Joseon publicly promulgated the easy-to-learn "Hunmin Jeongyin", which is the origin of modern Hangeul.
However, although Korean is easy to learn, because it is a syllabic script, it is indispensable to store a large number of homophones and homographs, which can easily cause ambiguity or confusion. Therefore, even after the promulgation of the Xunmin Zhengyin, Chinese characters still occupy an important place in the official written language of North Korea.
Even if South Korea has been "de-Chinese" several times since its founding due to the National Awakening Movement, the consequences of completely erasing the existence of Chinese characters are almost a price that Korean society cannot bear, and at most it can only do everything possible to reduce the frequency of Chinese characters.
Therefore, in the Korean household registration system, there is a "kanji real name" in the zài, which is the reason.
"The real names of the four of us in Chinese characters were originally called Taiyun, Xiaoyuan, Xiurong and Runyu (Yun'er's real Chinese names), and we directly used them as stage names, which is the simplest. Speaking of this, Xiuying raised three fingers, "As for the other five, they will be divided into three situations......
Duan Shanshan nodded stunned, feeling a little like listening to a story.
"Sika is an American, and she only has her Korean name and English name on her family register, so she uses her English name, which is the first case. ”
"Sunny's real name is Chun, which sounds old-fashioned and she doesn't like it herself, so she uses Sunny in her motto 'everyday_sunny_day' as her stage name, which is the second case. ”
"The third situation is because there is already a senior artist with the same name. As a junior, if we repeat the name of our predecessor, it is not only a faux pas, but also easy to cause all kinds of confusion, so we have to change our stage name. Pani's English name was originally Stephanie (Stephanie), which was the same name as Heavenly Dance Oni, so it was changed to Tiffany, which was close to pronunciation, Yu Li (Yuli's original Chinese name) was the same name as Fin.K.L's Cheng Youli predecessor, so it was changed to English Yuri to show the difference, and Busy Nai also had the same name as Fin.K.L's Yujo-hyun's predecessor, so the stage name was not Zhu Xuan but Xu Xuan. ”
Xiuying turned to the side and said as she used her fingers to write each person's real name in Chinese and Korean on the table, so that Duan Shanshan could understand the difference.
"なるほど?そうてすね!(Nalu Huoduo?Sodes Pinch!)"
Duan Shanshan nodded like pounding garlic, and muttered two sentences in Japanese, which means "I see, that's the case."
From the first time we met to now, I have known each other for almost half a year, and it is not until today that I really understand the origin of these names.
P.S. I finally found a suitable occasion to fully explain the origin of the naming of the young time, which is not easy, and will not be explained again in the future in this kind of question.
