很怕碰上一些人,為自己改了個奇形怪狀的英文名,真的很怕。而偏偏,香港特別多這類人。
所謂「奇形怪狀的英文名」,很難形容亦很難界定,之不過,只要對方一開口介紹自己,是否奇形怪狀一聽便知,毋須分析。至於,為何我會很怕?也閉O天生的防衛本能,覺得與這種懶係要突出自己的人士,道不同不相為謀吧。
聽說有位行家,叫做Devil。這個名字,肯定不是他父母賜予的,除非他是傳說中的「魔鬼之子」吧。真的想不透,好人好姐為何要改個咁的名?相信很多僱主,看到Devil這個名字,都會敬而遠之而不予考慮吧!(警隊亦肯定唔收吽I)
相反地,多年前訪問過一位大學生,英文名是God。見到這個「神」我真係頭痛,訪問還未做,在曙U甫一坐下,他就點了一碟「鮑魚燴意粉」!幸好真神站在我這邊,侍應居然答道:「冇鮑魚喎!」God兄只好死死氣地改叫「火腿燴意」。
有神有魔,自然也有怪獸。以前任職一家大公司中,就有位仁兄叫做Alien。聽到就怕怕,幸好任職八年多,從來不用接觸這個外星人。
還有,忽然記起一位舊同事Falcon兄:喂,你的名字讀音是「科勤」,不是「Fell-Coin」呀!
