Golden Greenery

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class didn't move for half an hour, and Zhuo Yang and He kissed passionately in the car. Phillips Chapman sat on the chair in the kitchen with a sad face: He had to come back at night, and he had to go in and out at any time for three months. Oh, why am I so unlucky!

The car finally moved, and Zhuo Yang took him straight to the outskirts of Hannover. He has been here for four years, and Zhuo Yang simply doesn't know what place is picturesque but has few people. Today he is going to take him to the Herbst Sonne lake, not far from the Herbst Sonne wetland, in German, for the autumn sunshine.

"Zhuoyang, can I give the mobile phone to Staxi?"

"Of course, give it to her, and I'll buy another one for you."

Zhuo Yang brought two Huawei mobile phones from China, European versions with super-large capacity batteries. Even if his phone can't handle the porridge, it must be the same. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Only with good equipment can he cook a good pot of porridge.

There are two people in the girls' dormitory of Kissman School of Business. Staci is her roommate, best friend, and even a fan. She is devoted to her. She was secretly in love with a man, and only Stacia knew about it. Finally, she had achieved the right result, and Staci was also the first person to know. Today and in the future, Staci volunteered to cover. She would bring back two portions of lunch and then secretly pour one portion.

With such a wonderful person, Zhuo Yang and He must maintain a good relationship. There are still many places to use him. Thinking of this, Zhuo Yang planned to give the fat chef a Huawei.

.

After a pleasant trip, the two of them had lunch in a quiet German-style restaurant. Zhuo Yang actually came here for the food in this restaurant. Well, she was actually very sorry that she couldn't climb over the wall. The princess in love is wild.

"Zhuoyang, do you have an English name?" Zhuoyang sat on the bench in the porch, leaning against the corner pillar and leaning in his arms. The Eifel Mountains are clearly visible in the distance, and the air today is as clean as washing with water.

"My English name is Zhuoyang, Zhuo, Zhuoyang." He replied.

In fact, Zhuoyang once had a special English name, just like every elementary school student.

When I was in third grade, I had English classes. The English teacher will ask each student to give themselves an English name, as if they cannot learn English well if they can't afford it. Zhuoyang finished his dinner and practiced the piano, and was staring at the lively TV when he suddenly remembered that tomorrow the teacher would ask for everyone's English name and the name table card they had made.

The animated blockbuster "The Lion King", which he loved to watch, happened to be playing on TV, so he gave himself the English name Simba, and Zhuo Yang, who was born under the Zodiac sign of Leo, became the Lion King.

When Zhuo Yang's sister Zhuo Qiu was in third grade, she also gave herself an English name. My sister said that my Chinese name is Qiu, but my English name is Spring, so she became Spring in English class.

Speaking of English names, there is another interesting thing.

Not every third-grade primary school student gives himself an English name because of his family background, like Zhuo Yang and his sister, and not all parents have English-friendly names like Zhuo Tongtong and Yang Hong. At that time, most parents didn't even know the English alphabet, so teachers would assign common English names to those students who didn't know how to name them. A boy in the same class as Zhuo Yang was named Mike. A very common and standard English name.

However, 'Mike's' father was unwilling. The next day he rushed to school angrily and questioned the teacher with strong dissatisfaction.

‘Mike’s’ father is a forger master at a state-owned railway parts factory. He came from rural Qian County a few years ago to take over the job where ‘Mike’s’ grandfather retired. Succession was the personnel tradition of state-owned enterprises in that era, and sons inherited their father's business.

‘Mike’ is ‘Maike’, and many people in North and Northwest China should know the word ‘Maike’. Every spring when wheat matures and is harvested, due to differences in geographical climate, wheat will come to harvest time one after another from east to west in northern China. At this time of year, a large number of farmers from Gansu and Shaanxi carry their sickles and bedrolls on their backs and set off.

The harvesting army started from the Shandong Peninsula, sweating like rain from county to county along the railways and highways. They wielded sickles and harvested all the way from Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi to the west, helping farmers without strong labor to harvest crops. I can earn some money for food and clothing for my parents, wife and children at home.

Just like this, they traveled thousands of miles and harvested all the way to the west. When they returned to their hometown, the full ears of wheat in their own fields happened to bend the waist of the wheat stalks. What awaited them were the eager eyes of their parents, the cheers of their children, and the rolling of their own mother-in-law. Good noodles.

Hard-working and brave Chinese farmers!

The northerners called them "Maike". Later, with the advent of mechanized harvesting and the wave of migrant workers in cities, the phenomenon of "Maike" gradually disappeared in the long history of social development, but the name "Maike" still persisted for a long time. in people's memories.

Compared to Mike, 'Mike''s father is undoubtedly happy. He has a stable wage income that is guaranteed to be paid even in times of drought and flood. After he was transferred from farming to non-agriculture, he became a city dweller and his status became more respectable.

then--

"I worked hard to bring my wife and baby out of the countryside, just because I don't want to live a hard life anymore, and I just don't want my baby to be a MaiKe anymore. But you still insist on calling my baby a MaiKe. What do you mean? What's your intention? You If you don’t understand, I’ll go to the principal!”

The young English teacher didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hurriedly replaced "Mike" with "Jack". He simply didn't want any "gram" at all, and called "David" to calm down the anger of David's father.

That's a long way to go.

Westerners generally have trouble pronouncing Chinese names, especially the oblique and retroflex sounds, which are almost impossible to pronounce correctly. Many Chinese people who have lived in Europe all year round will give themselves an English name or an English nickname in order to do as the Romans do in their own country and they really can't bear to hear their good Chinese names being abused in the mouths of foreigners, so that they can use it to interact with others and facilitate their integration. local society.

For example, Sun Yumei’s nickname is Rose, which comes from the ‘Mei’ in his Chinese name for rose. The old stone who opened a restaurant in Milan was called "Stone", and "Stone" originally means stone.

Zhuo Yang's English name in Europe is Zhuo or Zhuo Yang.

Europeans, especially Germans, cannot pronounce the standard pronunciation of "Zhuo" with their big tongues. When they pronounce "Zhuo Yang", it sounds more like "Scorching Sun". Therefore, when they say "Zhuo", they actually mean "John", and when they say "Zhuo Yang", they actually mean "John·Young".

‘John’ is ‘John’ and ‘Young’ is ‘Young’.

After living in Europe for six years, some foreigners called him "Zhuo" and some "Zhuo Yang". Everyone called him "Zhuo Yang" and it has become a consensus and official standard around the world. So Zhuo Yang became John and John Young. This name is like Wang Hui or Zhang Jun in China, but it can be considered to be in harmony with Western people.

"John, give me a Chinese name." As he spoke, he leaned into Zhuoyang's arms and played with his fingers.
