知行哈哈糖英語笑話之校園篇
02:也許這個名字真管用
英文原文
During the college speech course I taught,I spoke about a Chinese student who,after moving to the United States,decided she wanted an English name to honor her new home.
我在大學教演講課程,一次上課時,我談到一位中國學生,在來到美國后想起一個英文名來紀念他的新家。
"She chose the name Patience," I told the class,"because she wanted to be reminded to be patient.
她選擇了耐心這個名字,我跟課堂上的學生說,因為她想別人提醒她要有耐心。
Every time someone called her name,the message was reinforced."I asked the students what names they would select for themselves.After considering the question,one young man raised his hand and said, "Rich."
每一次有人喊她名字的時候,這個信息就會被強調一次。我問我的學生他們想給她取一個什么樣的名字,他們琢磨了一會,一個男生說“發財”。
