姓於,於是 last name 是 YU。有一個標準的中文名,發音對老外來說比較困難。大部分情況下老外會稱呼相對容易一點的YU。當然學校的同學朋友會呼其名,以示尊重。於是就有了下麵的對話。
1. 同學來電話,白人房東接的電話。
同學:Can I speak to xxx (中文名)?
房東:Do you want to talk to YU?
同學:Can I please speak to xxx (中文名)?
房東:We only have YU and Me。 Do you want to talk to YU or me?
同學:I want to talk to xxx (中文名)。
房東:You do not want to talk to YU. You do not want to talk to me. Bye.
雞同鴨講。
2. 去學校Gym鍛煉,把學生證押在前台,以換取毛巾,還毛巾時再領回學生證。學生證按姓氏排列,領學生證時會主動告知姓氏。
YU:Y U.
前台:?
YU: Y--- U---
前台:Why me?
YU:Y------U------
前台:Why me? I am working here.
YU: My last name is Y U.
前台:!
同聲大笑。
