英语翻译
Kate:Has your sister's baby arrived yet?
John:Yes,i've been an uncle since yesterday noon
Kate:Congratulations!Is it a boy or a girl?
John:An eight-pound boy.They named him Francis.That's spelled with an"i"before the "s",you know
Kate:That's right.Frances with an"e"is a girl"s name.But they are both pronounced the same.Why did they name your nephew Francis?
John:I don't know.They considered a lot of other names,like Richard,Edward Philip,David,and several others.
Kate:What if the baby had been a girl?Didn't they have any girl's names in mind?
John:They couldn't agree on any.Whenever he suggested a girl's name,she said,"I hate that name!"Some people have very strong feelings about names.
Kate:I think most people do.Sometimes I decided not to like someone I haven't even met,just because I don't like his name.
John:That reminds me of something I read a few days ago.Some body had found out that school children with certain names get low marks in school just becayes of their names.
Kate:Their family names?
John:No,their first names.That's what the article said.
凯特:你姐姐的孩子出生了吗?
约翰:生了,我从昨天中午就已经是舅舅了.
凯特:祝贺!男孩女孩?
约翰:八磅重的男孩.他们给他取名叫弗朗西斯.你知道拼写为s前面一个i.
凯特:对.如果是字母e,Frances就是女孩子的名字.但是两个名字读音一样.为什么你的外甥取这个名字?
约翰:我也不清楚.他们考虑了几多其他名字,诸如里查德,爱德华,菲力普,大卫等等.
凯特:如果是个女孩会怎样呢?他们想没想个女孩名字?
约翰:他们没能同意一个女孩子名字.他提出一个女孩名字,她就说“我恨那个名字!”一些人对名字有着特别强的感受.
凯特:可能多数人是这样吧.有时就因为我不喜欢一个人的名字,即使还没见过面,我就已经决定不喜欢这个人了.
约翰:这倒使我想到几天前我读到的一件事来.有人发现一些名字的学生在学校成绩较差,就是因为他们的名字取的不好.
凯特:你是说他们的姓?
约翰:不是,他们的名.是一篇文章中说的.
