here I've got one thing to share . When we translate westerners' names , we still put their first name and last name in the same position, whereas we don't treat our name in the same way. like michael jordan>麥可橋單 but we translate our name into English like 陳OO>OO Chen? It's not fair, isn't it? @@ ※ 引述《chen95982000 (元元)》之銘言： : ※ 引述《ezhik (ezhik)》之銘言： : : It happened to me so many times when I made new friends abroad, : : they asked me why I have and use English name to introduce myslef. : : Before I got those questions from people,I never thought about the true reasons. : : The reasons might be following, : : First, easy to remember : : Second, feel like easy to intergrate urself with others : : Thirs, others : : But the thing is Japanese or Korean people I know who live in US, : : They still use their real Japanese/Korean names. : I also introduce myself with English name to foreigners.

It takes time to get used to my new name, it's just like another : identification. You have to response when people call "Dennis" even if you : hadn't realized you are indeed that person. --
