Names
People in English speaking countries put given name before family name. But we Chinese always put family name before given name. Family names are so important to us because they tell who our ancestors (祖先) are and where we are from. However, the ways of addressing (称呼) people are the same in English and in Chinese. We can address people by their full names. For example, Yuan Longping and Winston Churchill. In formal (正式的) situations, we usually use Mr, Mrs or Ms before a
family name. For example, Mr Yuan and Mr Churchill. And
between close friends, we can use given names. For
example, Longping and Winston.
As for (至于) naming children, in English speaking
countries children may be named after (用……命名)
their parents or grandparents. And some parents name their children after famous people. In China, however, you can hardly (几乎不) find anyone having the same given name as their parents or grandparents. And few Chinese people name their children after famous people.
名字
英语国家的人们把姓放在姓之前。但是我们中国人总是把姓放在名字之前。姓氏对我们如此重要,因为它们告诉我们的祖先(祖先)是谁,我们来自哪里。然而,称呼人的方式在英语和汉语中是相同的。我们可以称呼人们的全名。比如袁隆平和温斯顿·丘吉尔。在正式(正式的)场合,我们通常在姓之前使用“先生”、“太太”或“女士”。例如,袁先生和丘吉尔先生。在亲密朋友之间,我们可以用名字。比如隆平和温斯顿。
至于给孩子起名字,在英语国家,孩子可以用父母或祖父母的名字来命名。有些父母用名人的名字给孩子取名。然而,在中国,你几乎(几乎不)找不到任何人与他们的父母或祖父母同名。很少有中国人用名人的名字给孩子取名。
