主播:Flora(中国)+ Erin(美国) 音乐:Evie!之前有一期节目我们聊过拉布布,但是最近它又火了一把(go viral),而这次是因为它的名字!在中文里ABB式的名字似乎都很火,比如拉布布,唐悠悠,甚至还有容嬷嬷。01 Why are ABB-Style Names So Cute? 为什么ABB式名字这么招人喜欢? 在中文里面,ABB式的结构就是让A的意义更生动(vivid)。比如说:“黑漆漆”,“绿油油”和“冷冰冰”。生动的:vivid同时,ABB结构还通过语音上的重复(phonetic repetition)营造出一种可爱的质感(a sense of cuteness)。例如,“凌妙妙”,“高圆圆”。语音重复:phonetic repetition可爱的质感:a sense of cuteness02 Cute Names in English 英文中的可爱名字在英文当中,这种含有重复音节(repeated syllables)的单词可以当昵称(nicknames)使用,但一般不会用于人名。重复音节:repeated syllables昵称:nickname例如,如果有人在面试当中这样介绍自己“Hi, I’m Bubu.”,这听起来有点傻(silly)。但是在《天线宝宝》(Teletubbies)里面,像丁丁(Tinky-Winky)和拉拉(Laa-Laa)这样的名字就很可爱。在英文中,除了用音节重复这种方法表示昵称,还可以在名字的末尾加“-y”或者“-ie”也就是“i”这个音。例如:Ann —— AnnieCharles—— Charlie它与ABB结构相似,只是形式不同。这两种语言都有让事物听起来可爱和亲近的冲动(urge),但它们采取了不同的方式去实现。urge: 一种强烈的欲望,冲动在中文里像“凌妙妙”,“李尖尖”或“高圆圆”的名字爆火(blow up)不仅是因为它们可爱,还因为它们容易记(they are easier to remember)。爆火:blow up 容易记住:be easier to remember03 Are ABB-Style Names Cute or Cheesy? ABB式的名字到底是可爱还是肉麻?虽然ABB式的名字比较招人喜欢,但不是每个人都这么认为。有网友表示,像“苏甜甜”这样的名字就太肉麻(cheesy)了。肉麻:cheesy表示“肉麻”你也可以这么说:“So cringe!” “太尴尬啦!”“Ew, too sweet.” “甜过头了。”欢迎在评论区告诉我们:你们觉得ABB式的名字怎么样呢?很可爱还是觉得有点太肉麻了呢?What do you think of ABB-style names? Do you find them cute or too cheesy?
