王先生跟老婆本来没有打算要孩子,认为年轻人应该多过一段自由的日子,不想被孩子束缚。
"Mr. Wang and his wife originally had no plans to have a child, believing that young people should enjoy a period of freedom and not be tied down by children.
可老婆意外怀孕了,在家里人的要求之下,王先生选择了妥协,把这个孩子生下来。为此专门给孩子取了一个名字,就叫王奈。
However, Mrs. Wang unexpectedly became pregnant, and under pressure from their families, Mr. Wang chose to compromise and have the child. He specifically gave the child a name, calling him Wang Nai.
王奈这个名字与无奈谐音,体现了王先生对孩子意外到来的无奈。可是孩子生下来给他办出生证明的时候,护士却不小心打错了。本来是王奈,被打成了王来。The name Wang Nai sounds like 'helpless' in Chinese, reflecting Mr. Wang's helplessness at the unexpected arrival of the child. However, when the child's birth certificate was being processed, the nurse accidentally made a mistake. Instead of Wang Nai, it was written as Wang Lai.这件事情是老婆发现的,她看到后一点都没有生气,反而很开心。It was Mrs. Wang who noticed the error, but she didn't get angry at all; instead, she was very happy. 老婆认为王来比王奈更加好听,有一种王者归来的意思。吐槽老公实在是太没有文化了,还不如别人的神来之笔。王先生一听的确是这么个道理,也就没有责怪护士,给孩子确定了姓名,就叫王来,希望这个名字能给孩子带来福气。She believed that Wang Lai sounded better than Wang Nai, implying the return of a king. She teased her husband, saying he was really uncultured and not as clever as others.Mr. Wang agreed with his wife's perspective and didn't blame the nurse. They decided to keep the name Wang Lai, hoping it would bring good fortune to their child. 'The Naming Pitfalls to Avoid'王先生自以为很聪明,给孩子取名采用了谐音的方式,无奈。却没有考虑过这样的名字会给孩子带来什么样的影响。名字是被人用来叫的,每天都要重复好几次,在小孩子面前,一个有谐音的名字,就是攻击他人的武器。不断地嘲笑对方,让孩子生活得非常痛苦。家长还以为自己的取名方式非常正确,根本不知道自己已经伤害了孩子。Mr. Wang thought he was very clever, using homophones to name the child, but he didn't consider what kind of impact such a name would have on the child. A name is used to call someone, repeated several times a day. For a child, a name with a homophone is a weapon to attack others, constantly mocking the child and making their life very painful. Parents think their naming method is correct, not realizing they have hurt their child.
这也是一个很多人都会犯的错误,认为取名字不用太复杂,取一个比较常见的就可以。只要身边没有人叫这个名字,就心安理得。可孩子们总要走向社会,一旦有着一个重名率比较高的名字,就会发生很多尴尬的情况。别人叫另外一个人时自己却答应了,上课时老师面对孩子们的称呼头疼不已。This is a mistake many people make, thinking that a name doesn't have to be too complex; a common name will suffice. As children grow up and enter society, having a name with a high duplication rate leads to many awkward situations. They may respond when someone else is being called, and teachers struggle in class when addressing them."名字并不是用笔画来决定输赢的,复杂的名字看起来威武霸气,但实际操作起来却存在着很多麻烦。家长落得个清闲,不用抄写孩子的名字,可孩子总会犯错误,被老师罚抄的时候痛苦不已。自己名字的笔画实在是太多了,写一个名字抵得上别人写三四个名字,怎么能不难受呢?"The name does not determine the outcome; a complex name may look powerful, but it can also bring a lot of trouble in practical use. Parents may have the leisure of not having to write their child's name, but the child will still make mistakes and suffer when punished by teachers to write their name. With so many strokes in their own name, it can be very frustrating to write one name while others can write three or four. How can this not be distressing?How should parents name their children?
名字是结交朋友,行走社会的一个工具。好认的名字能够让他人轻松地结识我们,喊出我们的名字。一个不好认的名字,可能会让人望而却步,担心叫错名字出现尴尬的情况,增加了交朋友的成本。而且好认的名字在录入系统的时候也更方便一些,能避免很多麻烦的产生。如果名字太复杂,录入不了系统,可能孩子的学业都会受到影响。A name is a tool for making friends and navigating society. An easy-to-recognize name allows others to easily get to know us and call out our name. A name that is difficult to recognize may make people hesitate, worry about calling the wrong name, and increase the cost of making friends. An easy-to-recognize name also makes it more convenient for entry into systems, avoiding many troubles. If a name is too complex to be entered into the system, it may affect the child's academic performance.名字是陪伴孩子一生的伙伴,不能够太过肤浅。别人一看名字就知道父母的文化水平,就知道父母对孩子有着什么样的期望。因此我们应该取得有内涵一些,最好是从一些文化诗词当中寻找灵感。这样一来就算父母本身的知识水平并不高,也能够得到不错的名字。A name is a lifelong companion for a child and should not be too superficial. Others can tell the parents' cultural level and their expectations for the child just by looking at the name. Therefore, we should choose a name with meaning, preferably drawing inspiration from cultural poetry. This way, even if the parents' knowledge level is not high, they can still choose a good name.好听的名字能让人赏心悦目,也让孩子变得更加自信。因此家长对待孩子的名字一定要重视,千万不要随心而为。要注意重名率的高低,要注意笔画的多少,还要注意名字有没有内涵。尽管麻烦一些,但父母应该为之努力,有什么比孩子更加重要呢?
A pleasant-sounding name can be pleasing to the ear and can also make a child more confident. Therefore, parents must take their child's name seriously and not choose it arbitrarily. They should pay attention to the duplication rate, the number of strokes, and the meaning of the name. Despite the trouble, parents should make an effort because what could be more important than their child?"喜欢今天的文章,别忘了在文末右下角点个“在看”,并转发给更多人看。
