取名背后的考量
明星们用在国际媒体上的名字,取名时会有怎样的考量呢。
关于中国人的英文名,华东师范大学博士吴海云在第六声撰文称:
An obvious interpretation of naming practices claims that having a Western name makes it easier for a Chinese person to navigate cross-cultural interactions. While this assertion is true in part, it fails to explain why other globalizing countries do not partake as widely in such a phenomenon. Why do, say, the Japanese or Koreans not take English names? An alternative explanation views the enthusiasm for English names as a manifestation of a more general admiration for the West.
取英文名这个现象最显而易见的解释是可以让中国人在跨文化交流中更如鱼得水。但这个判断并不完全正确,它没有解释为什么其他正在全球化进程中的国家没有参与到这种现象里来。比方说,为什么日本人和韩国人没有大规模地取英文名?还有一种对这个问题的解释是,对英文名的热情显示了对西方的崇拜。
Angelababy
However, in my opinion, what both of these interpretations ignore is China’s own rich naming tradition. After all, when Chinese people take English names, they do not give up their birth names; the new name becomes merely an additional moniker. In fact, the adoption of a series of names and nicknames is a long-held custom in the country.
