知行哈哈糖英语笑话之校园篇
02:也许这个名字真管用
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.
我在大学教演讲课程,一次上课时,我谈到一位中国学生,在来到美国后想起一个英文名来纪念他的新家。
"She chose the name Patience," I told the class,"because she wanted to be reminded to be patient.
她选择了耐心这个名字,我跟课堂上的学生说,因为她想别人提醒她要有耐心。
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时候,这个信息就会被强调一次。我问我的学生他们想给她取一个什么样的名字,他们琢磨了一会,一个男生说“发财”。
