When our daughter was born,we named her Myles,after my beloved late father,despite family warning that the name was too masculine.
女儿出生时,我们给她取名叫迈尔斯。和我深爱的已经过世的父亲同名。虽然大家提醒说这个名字太男性化了。
Years later,when I felt she was old enough to understand,I explained to Myles,"Your name is very special.I named you after my own father because I loved him very much.I know he would be proud of you."
几年以后,我觉得迈尔斯已经长大并且足够懂事了,就跟她解释说:“你的名字很特别,我让你跟我的父亲同名是因为我非常爱他。我想他会为你感到自豪的。”
Myles thought carefully about this and then said,"I know all that ,Mom.But I don't understand why my grandfather had a girl's name.
迈尔斯仔细想了想跟说道:“这些我都懂,妈妈。但是我不明白为什么外公会有一个女孩的名字呢。”
