532. The Saying of Names (1)
Tang Yao was reading a book recently, saying that it was a reminder for young people on how to not make jokes when choosing their English names.
Tang Yao was rarely asked to call her English name in that era. In English class, the English teacher always calls the students by their Chinese names. However, there are still some classmates around Tang Yao who are fashionable, so they chose one for themselves early.
Of course, the English name is not all to catch up with the fashion, some people's Chinese names can really be described by these four words, such as Tang Yao's class in the second half of the second semester of high school is about to transfer to a female classmate, named Wei Yan, heard that their family is a hospital, Tang Yao was relieved after knowing, presumably her ancestors had already assigned various departments when they named their grandchildren.
For example, Chen Shi, a classmate who just transferred, in fact, her name is not ugly, but it sounds more unlucky, Chen Shi Chen Shi is like sinking to death, no wonder she has to introduce herself and say that her name is Chen Yiling. Tang Yao admitted that Yiling was indeed thousands of times better than sinking to death.
The study committee member in Tang Yao's class, named Li Yujing, is a long person like his name, but this name is too easy to be called "menstruation". The boys often teased him, Li Yujing went to the toilet slower and said that he was "managing menstruation", eating slower and saying that he was "menstruating", and coming late in class and saying that he was "menstruating". In the end, even the female classmates couldn't help but join in the ridicule, but the girls were embarrassed to call him "menstruation", but gave him a new nickname that was very close to his real name: carp essence. Such a quiet and elegant name of Bingqing Yujie has extended so many aliases, and has been widely spread by male and female students Jingjing, Tang Yao feels that Li Yujing's own shadow area in her heart should be as big as it can be. Fortunately, Li Yujing is introverted and doesn't know how to express joy, anger and sorrow, if this matter is changed to Si Shen, with the temperament of Si Shen Shen and Shen Xiaoye, he will definitely roll up his sleeves and do a big job at any time.
Back to the English name, Tao Lili's English name is very good, you can take it with her Chinese name as Lily. Lily means lily in Chinese, meaning ice clear jade. But with Li Yujing's experience, Tao Lili felt that the names related to "Yujie" might end up in the same fate as Li Yujing, so she didn't like this name at the beginning, and even resisted a little. Second, she thinks that Lily reads like the elders in the family calling her nickname, and she doesn't have the slightest queen fan. So she re-named herself a name that didn't match her name at all, but was very domineering: Elizabeth.
Tang Yao had no intention of reminding Tao Lili, but the English name is the first name and the last surname, no matter what Tao Lili takes, plus her surname, there is only one meaning to escape. For example, Elizabeth Tao she likes, such as Alice Run, Venus Run, Anna Run, and so on. Tang Yao listed Tao Lili all over the place, and saw that Tao Lili's face was getting more and more ugly.
The meaning of escape is nothing, that is to say, what English name Tao Lili takes is a bamboo basket in the end.
Tang Yao kindly said to Tao Lili that she should take an English name with the same sound as "don't think", so that the name would not be able to escape.
Tao Lili rolled Tang Yao's eyes for this, and she didn't turn around to talk to Tang Yao for an afternoon, Tang Yao also said that she was very helpless, she really just kindly reminded her, and she didn't have any meaning of ridicule, although she said that the person who was already laughing in Tang Yao's heart turned on his back and fell on the ground and couldn't get up.
