马盖云 Posted August 19, 2010 at 01:09 AM Report Posted August 19, 2010 at 01:09 AM looks like a transliteration (phonetic sound-alike) for Nick... is that his name? the charaters themselves mean Buhdist Nun, and "can" or "be able to" so it is probably just for the sounds. Unless he has some secrets he's not telling you! 1 Quote
ma3zi1 Posted August 19, 2010 at 01:23 AM Report Posted August 19, 2010 at 01:23 AM Yeah, I concur, looks like "Nick" (尼克). Similar to "Nixon" (尼克森). 1 Quote
SiMaKe Posted August 19, 2010 at 01:41 AM Report Posted August 19, 2010 at 01:41 AM The second character, 克, means to subdue, restrain, overcome. But, as already pointed out, is also used to transliterate a name. Another example is 马克 （ma ke） for Mark。 Quote
jbradfor Posted August 19, 2010 at 03:53 AM Report Posted August 19, 2010 at 03:53 AM Or 傑克 for Jack. [Just learned that 2 days ago!] Quote
