× my name Jayan is coming from 2 separate worlds which means home and shining in Chinese.
✓ my name Jayan comes from 2 separate worlds which mean home and shining in Chinese.
这里“worlds”是复数,谓语动词应与复数主语一致,使用“come”而非“is coming”;另外,“which”指代复数“worlds”,谓语动词应为复数形式“mean”。
× the meaning is make the house shining and delightful every day.
✓ the meaning is to make the house shining and delightful every day.
“meaning is”后面应接不定式“to make”表示目的或含义,缺少“to”导致表达不完整。
× I will leave it to next.
✓ I will leave it to the future.
“next”后面缺少名词,且表达不完整,应补充名词如“the future”使句子完整。
× there is a convention for Americans and Europeans to use their family's name as a place to their children,
✓ there is a convention for Americans and Europeans to use their family's name as a surname for their children,
“as a place to their children”表达错误,应使用“as a surname for their children”表示“作为孩子们的姓氏”。
× We prefer using unique one.
✓ We prefer using a unique one.
“unique”是形容词,需与冠词“a”连用,且“one”指代单数,需加冠词。
× Definitely are.
✓ Definitely, there are.
句子缺少主语和谓语,需补充完整结构,如“Definitely, there are.”。
× Chinese people prefer choosing them as it's literal meaning,
✓ Chinese people prefer choosing names based on their literal meaning,
“them”指代不明,且“it's”应为“their”,需明确指代“names”并使用复数所有格。
× but for now they prefer its hidden meaning.
✓ but now they prefer their hidden meaning.
“its”指代不明,应改为复数所有格“their”指代“names”。
× in and Foo is used more frequently than others,
✓ in and Foo are used more frequently than others,
主语“in and Foo”为复数,谓语动词应使用复数形式“are”。
× which means that their child, their children will be safe and sound through their whole life courses.
✓ which means that their children will be safe and sound throughout their whole life course.
“child, their children”表达重复且混乱,应统一为复数“children”;“life courses”应为单数“life course”;“through”应改为“throughout”表示贯穿整个生命过程。
