小唐hello Posted November 26, 2008 at 01:13 PM Report Posted November 26, 2008 at 01:13 PM 1.海克霍夫曼(male) 2.纳德拉霍夫曼(female) 3.诺的恩.??? 4.贾米拉阿耶瓦(female) The last name of the third one is quite difficult to translate beacuse of its weird pronounciation.Sorry:mrgreen: In China, if we want to tranlate some foreign names into Chinese, there is no particular rules, we can use the different characters with the same pronounciation. for example, Allen can be translated as 艾伦 or 爱伦 and so on。But if someone has tranlated one new word in his way at the first time,for example,he tranlated Allen as 艾伦。The people need to follow the form of the people who first translated it。 I hope it is helpful to you!!
