The Final blogs 3/3: Phonetic Translations of Your Names

After ten post on the blog, the work is coming to an end.

In the past works, the topic "Chinese Names" has been illustrates in different dimensions, including the general idea behind the topic, naming strategies, names of some foreign people, examples for the three strategies, etc.

The topic, as such, may not be fairly attractive for everyone, since it is mainly concerned by people in a narrow domain - translators/interpreters. However, in my opinion, it is better to introduce something about China with a more academic topic rather than food, human rights, emerging market and so on, which may be mostly connected with the oriental nation nowadays.

In the last post, I will offer the names of the rest of friends. The passionate Spanish group, the elegant British group, the spectacular American group and other outstanding friends coming from various countries are involved.

Thanks to every audience for your massive support, patience and curiosity. I wish get reunioned with you people as soon as possible. Have a nice Eastern holiday!

The Final blogs 1/3: Phonetic Translations of Your Names

Not surprisingly, time is ticking away very fast. Now the detail of our page shall move to the very core part – the Chinese names for you!

As I illustrated before, there are three main strategies when a foreign name is being translated: phonetic, semantic, and the combined one with the previous two. In fact, the phonetic is applied the most by translators and people get used to making the phonetically translated names into common use. Therefore, I manage to provide Chinese names based on phonetic strategies to my facebook friends, as you people has supported not only my study but also my study. Due to a considerable amount of my friends on facebook, those names are going to be released in three times. Please follow my posts and get your Chinese name eventually. If your name is not listed, don’t worry. Just drop me a line on my theme page on facebook:

Then a kind response will be given as soon as possible. J

What Is Your Country's Name in Chinese?

Today I explored the friend list of my facebook account to have a deeper understanding to my online society, and also reviewed all of my acquaintances on that social network. To be honest, I usually feel sorry to my friends since I am not such an activist to join fantastic parties and events organised by them. Therefore, I am going to ‘contribute’ more to them by means of intercultural communication on my own way, as a kind of compensation to every ‘escape’ I made when I was invited to share their fun J   

Well, if a language, like Chinese, is to be promoted to others, it may be initialised by introducing how the others’ motherlands are called by Chinese people. In fact, every country has its name represented prudently by us translators since it seems a quite formal and serious issue to demonstrate a new country and its people to his/her nationals. Any controversial or improper translation or title may lead to unfriendliness, even some conflicts that nobody wants to occur.

As counted, all of my friends on facebook come from thirty (excluding China Mainland and Taiwan Area) countries across the world. Now I am going to display what those countries are, how people in China call the countries in daily life with both Chinese characters and Romanised Chinese ‘Pinyin.’ The translation here are brief/abbreviated names, rather than the full names or formal names because people prefer an easier way to mention them.
