Comments on: Difficult names http://englishblog.org/2006/06/06/difficult-names/ A blog on English. Mostly American, occasionally British. Always with a Chinese flavor.

I spent a lot of time memorizing this word. And then one day, a new English teacher came, and she wanted everyone to have an English name. The other kids all picked up names like Tom, Jim, Lucy, Kate, etc. When it was my turn, partly because they'd already used up all the names I knew of, and partly because I was so familiar with the word "Einstein", I blurted out,"My name is Einstein!" -_-&#166;&#166;&#166; The whole class was dumbfounded, and then burst into deafening laughters... That was when I knew I had to steer clear of those high-profile names... <strong>Yan: Lovely story! I'll call you Einstein from now on. :D</strong> Speaking of difficult names, I remember the hardest name for me when I was just beginning to learn English was “Einstein”.

Morissette也常常不确定。Gyllenhaal和Sch… 我就彻底放弃了，还好只是姓。

背单词不容易啊！不过，打字的时候总比拼音输入法拼中译名容易多了…
