章节摘录

　　My diary　　I have noticed that more and more Taiwanese have English names， and most of them didnt have one until they started working. I have asked some of my colleagues about it. They admitted that they are still addressed by original given names by their family and friends in everyday life，but when at work，people call one another by their English names instead. To tell the truth，its hard for me to understand why anyone would want to have another name while they already have beautiful and meaningful Chinese names？　　Some say that its because having an English name seems to be trendy. Some explain that most foreigners have problems pronouncing their Chinese names，and English names are easier for them to remember and pronounce. For whatever reasons，most of them are accustomed to this，and dont feel any inconvenience. On the contrary， they think it helps a lot to create a more harmonious working atmosphere by using English names，because they dont have to address their bosses by their titles anymore.　　我的日记　　我注意到越来越多台湾人有英文名字，而大多数的人在开始工作之前并没有英文名字。我问过一些同事，他们说平常生活中家人和朋友还是以原来的中文名字称呼他们，但到了工作场合，大家就会以英文名字来称呼彼此，反而不使用中文名字。说真的，我很难理解，为什么明明已经有个美丽且有意义的中文名字了，还会想要另外取英文名字呢？　　有人说这是因为有个英文名字似乎是潮流；有人解释是因为外国人不知道该怎么念他们的中文名字，而英文名字对他们来说又好记又好念。不管是基于何种理由取英文名字，对于同时有中文和英文名字这件事情，大多数人已经习以为常了，并不会因此感到不便。相反地，使用英文名字对于创造一个更和谐的工作气氛非常有帮助，因为他们再也不需要以头衔来称呼主管们了。　　重点解析　　1....they are still addressed by original given names…其中的be addressed by…为“以…来称呼”之意，如：He wants to be addressed by his new title.（他希望大家能以他的新头衔称呼他。）　　2.given name　　指名字，通常是由父母或长辈取的名字；若是“姓”，则为family name。在英文中，名字的表示法为“名字在前，姓氏在后”，因此given name也可称为first name，而family name则称为last name。　　3....people call one another by their English names instead.其中的instead为“作为替代”之意，如He couldnt find his colored markers，So he drew with crayons instead.（他找不到他的彩色笔，因此用蜡笔取代来画画。）instead也可以跟of一起，当词组使用，后面必须接名词或动名词，如：Instead of chiding me for not doing well on the exam，Mom encouraged me to study harder.（妈妈非但没有责怪我考试没有考好，反而鼓励我要更加用功。）　　4.to tell the truth　　意即“老实说：说真的”，放在句子之前，用来提醒对方自己将要说出的真实想法。如：To tell the truth，I dont Like that movie at all.（老实说，我一点都不喜欢那部电影。）常用的相同用语，还有in fact、frankly speaking、to be honest等等。
