  1.Tim Pppppppppprice: changed just to make it difficult for telemarketers to pronounce

双语:外国人奇葩更名来由令人汗颜(组图)双语:外国人奇葩更名来由令人汗颜(组图)

  更名为蒂姆・普普普普普普普普普普莱斯(Tim Pppppppppprice),只是为了让德律风推销员很难把它读出来。

  Sick of cold-callers, Tim Price has put them off by changing his name to a virtually unpronounceable list of consonants. According to him, it's pronounced “Tim Per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-rice.”

  厌烦了德律风贩卖员的蒂姆・普莱斯(Tim Price)为了屏蔽他们,便把名字改成实际上一长串不发音的辅音。据他讲,他的新名字读成“Tim Per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-rice。”

  The 49-year-old from Leicester hopes his name will make people think twice about contacting him. He said he has no regrets over the name change and will now refer to himself as Tim “10p” Price。

  这位来自莱斯特的49岁大叔期望他改的这个名字能让人们在联系他时再多想想。他表现本人并不后悔更名,而且现在会把本人称作Tim “10p” Price。(心疼他,被德律风贩卖员烦成这样不容易。)

  2.King Arthur Uther Pendragon: changed because he believes he is a reincarnation of King Arthur

  更名为亚瑟・尤瑟・潘德拉贡,由于他信任本人是亚瑟王转世。

  ”I'm the only person in the UK, other than the Queen, who is allowed to wear a crown in their passport picture,” says the man formerly known as John Rothwell. He changed his name in 1986 and said even his family no longer call him by his birth name。

  ”我是整个英国除却女王外,唯一能在护照照片上穿戴皇冠的人。”这位之前名为约翰・罗斯维尔的男人讲道。他在1986年更名,并称即使是他的家人也不再叫他的原名。

  Passport control officials always do a double take when they see his name and picture, which shows him wearing a crown。

  护照管制官员在看到他的名字与戴着王冠的照片时,老是会忍不住再看一眼。

  3. Adam West: changed because it was cheaper than changing his flight booking

  更名为亚当・韦斯特:由于比改签机票预订更便宜。

  In May 2015, 19-year-old Adam Armstrong, a student from Manchester, England, changed his name to “Adam West” because it was cheaper than changing his Ryanair flight booking。

  2015年5月,来自英格兰曼彻斯特的19岁学生亚当・阿姆斯特朗更名为亚当・韦斯特,由于这会比他改签瑞安航空公司的机票预订时付得更少。

  The ticket was booked under the name “Adam West” and the airline wanted to charge him $337 to change it. His girlfriend's stepfather accidentally booked him with that name because that's what he called himself on his Facebook page. “I had put it as Adam West as a joke because he was the actor who played Batman on TV,” West said.Instead of giving in, Adam changed his name for free to fly with his new name at no charge. However, he did have to pay about $157 to change his passport, which is still cheaper。

  改签那张以亚当・韦斯特之名预定的机票,瑞安航空愿意收取他337美元。亚当女友的继父碰巧用这个名字给亚当订了机票,由于亚当在脸书上这么称呼本人。韦斯特说:”我的脸书账号起名为亚当・韦斯特是个玩笑之举,由于这是蝙蝠侠演员的名字。”亚当并不打算就此作罢,他不花费一毛便更名胜利并以新名字登机。然而,他确实需要为更改护照付上大约157美元,这仍然省了很多钱。

  4. None of The Above Knox: changed to protest the lack of candidate choices。

  更名为以上皆非・诺克斯:抗议候选人抉择权的丧失。

  Luther Divine Knox, a rather colorful politician from Winnsboro, attracted national media attention in 1979 when he legally changed his name to “None of the Above” Knox to protest the lack of candidate choices. Knox claimed that the absence of choices led to the selection of the “lesser of two evils.” He proposed that voters be given the “None of the Above” option if they reject the declared candidates for office。

  卢瑟・圣・诺克斯,来自温斯伯勒的一名极为开明的政治家于1979年吸引了全国媒体的注意。他合法更名为”以上皆非”・诺克斯抗议候选人抉择权的丧失。诺克斯声称由于大多数人不具有候选人抉择权,这让推举成为”两害相权取其轻”。他提议如果投票者们反对已宣布的几位候选人上任,他们应该被给予”以上皆非”这一选项。

  Though he never won an election, Knox forcefully crusaded to include “None of the Above” on ballots to enhance voter choice。

  即便诺克斯从未赢得一次推举,他极为努力地为提升投票者的抉择权而奋斗,使投票抉择项中包括”以上皆非”。

  5.StopFortnumAndMasonFoieGrasCruelty.com: changed to raise awareness of foie gras

  更名为StopFortnumAndMasonFoieGrasCruelty.com(阻止Fortnum & Mason残暴供应鹅肝网):为提高大众不应吃鹅肝的认识。

  As a campaigner for animal rights charity PETA, she changed it from Abi Izzard to StopFortnumAndMasonFoieGrasCruelty.com in August to do her bit to raise awareness of the force feeding of geese to produce foie gras. She refuses to change her name back until London department store Fortnum & Mason stops selling it。

  作为植物权益慈善组织PETA(人道对待植物组织)的一名活动发起者,Abi Izzard在今年8月将名字改为StopFortnumAndMasonFoieGrasCruelty.com,想出本人的一份力来让大众认识到,有人为了生产肥鹅肝,给鹅喂食。她拒绝把名字改回,直到Fortnum & Mason的伦敦百货超市不再贩卖鹅肝。

  “I've never been embarrassed or regretted my new name. It's Fortnum & Mason that should be embarrassed and ashamed to be peddling a product so cruel that it's illegal to produce it in the UK,” said the young girl。

  这名年轻的女孩表现:“我从没有为我这个新名字感到为难或是后悔,反倒应是Fortnum & Mason该为其兜售如此残暴的一件产品而为难羞愧,要知道在英国贩卖鹅肝是非法行为。”

  注:Fortnum & Mason是伦敦历史最悠久的老牌百货超市之一,从1707年至今,就一直为英国皇室提供食品,并获得皇室颁发保证书,号称“英国女王的杂货店”。

  6.Beezow Doo-doo Zopittybop-bop-bop: changed to reflect the infinite love in the universe

  更名为Beezow Doo-doo Zopittybop-bop-bop:为反应宇宙中无穷的爱。

  It took Jeffrey Wilschke a while to save $300 to change his name, but he accomplished it on Nov. 28, 2011 ― he's now known as Beezow Doo-doo Zopittybop-bop-bop。

  Jeffrey Wilschke只要一小会便能更名改姓,节省300美元,但他在2011年11月28日才胜利更名,现在他名为Beezow Doo-doo Zopittybop-bop-bop。

  在一次采访中,Beezow讲道他的姓表现“感受宇宙中无穷之爱相互连接的认识爆炸”

  。

  Doo-doo “is the struggle of our daily lives with that awareness, which with love comes chaos.”

  Doo-doo则“代表咱们每天和这种与爱共同产生于混沌的认识所做的奋斗”。

  Finally, Zopittybop-bop-bop “is the outcome of that struggle, which is often ironic, especially because all life ends in death.”

  最后的Zopittybop-bop-bop“意为这种奋斗通常讽刺性的成果,尤其由于所有的生命都终结于死亡”。

  He was arrested several times for possessing marijuana and other charges。

  他因私藏大麻和其他几项指控而被捕多次。

  更名为Emperor Spiderman Gandalf Wolverine Skywalker Optimus Prime Goku Sonic Xavier Ryu Cloud Superman Heman Batman Thrash:变身超等好汉。

  In 2013, a then 23-year-old Daniel Knox-Hewson from the UK changed his legal name to “Emperor Spiderman Gandalf Wolverine Skywalker Optimus Prime Goku Sonic Xavier Ryu Cloud Superman Heman Batman Thrash。

  ”2013年还是23岁的英国小伙丹尼尔・诺克斯-休森把他的法定姓名更改为“Emperor Spiderman Gandalf Wolverine Skywalker Optimus Prime Goku Sonic Xavier Ryu Cloud Superman Heman Batman Thrash”。

  He did it along with a friend, Kelvin Borbidge, who's now known as Baron Venom Balrog Sabretooth Vader Megatron Vegeta Robotnik Magneto Bison Sephiroth Lex Luthor Skeletor Joker Grind。

  当时和他一同这么做的是名叫Kelvin Borbidge的朋友,而这人现在的名字是Baron Venom Balrog Sabretooth Vader Megatron Vegeta Robotnik Magneto Bison Sephiroth Lex Luthor Skeletor Joker Grind。

  When asked why they did it, Daniel said: “we decided to change our names because we were bored of our day-to-day lives and wanted to do something that reflected our true personalities. We couldn't believe how easy it was to do, we just had to fill in a few forms and we were granted superhero status.”

  当被问到他们更名的来由时,丹尼尔讲道:“咱们更名是由于厌倦了日常生活,想要做点事来反应咱们真实的人格。咱们简直不敢信任做到这点是这么简略。只需填几张表,咱们就有了超等好汉的地位!”

  8. The artist formerly known as Tracie Koziura changed her name to “Rebel Wolf.” The reason behind her name change 18 months ago is simple: “I love wolves,” she says。

  这位之前名叫Tracie Koziura的艺术家更名为反叛狼(Rebel Wolf)。她18个月前更名的原因很简略――她说:“我喜欢狼。

  ”Rebel Wolf suits me more than my birth name. It feels right. I was always a bit of a rebel as a teenager and have been fascinated by wolves since I can remember. People who know me well still call me Tracie and that's the name I go by for business purposes.”

  “反叛狼(Rebel Wolf)比我的本名还要适合我。它听上去不错。在青少年时期我老是有那么点反叛,而且从我记事时开始,我便为狼深深吸引。十分了解我的人仍然叫我Tracie。Tracie是我用作商业用途的名字。”

  被奥普拉(著名美国脱口秀节目主持人)问及劳伦这个名字从何而来时,拉夫解释道:“我的姓包含单词‘shit'。当我还是儿童时,其他小孩老是取笑我。”
