Part 1
考官
Does your name have any special meaning?
考生
Oh actually yes, my given name Umm in Chinese actually symbolizes the cosmos and the universe. This is given by my father and it shows his wish that I could explore the entire world or even universe in the future when I have become a teenager or or a man. And this name actually motivates me to continuously learn more about the physical world.
考官
How would you choose names for your next generation?
考生
Well, actually we umm, take different factors into our consideration before doing so. Umm, first of all, pronunciation is quite important. Names are often being used by other people in conversations and daily activities. So we need to make sure that the pronunciation is euphemius, and secondly, it must have very important cultural connotations.
考官
Does anyone in your family have the same name as you?
考生
As I have just mentioned, as this is part of our cultural taboo and we tend to avoid using the names of our older family members and ancestors. So, uh, there is actually no one in my family that has a very similar name or exactly the same name, uh, with mine. And however, in the future, I think we probably would use some of the English names more frequently in the future.
考官
Are there any differences between how Chinese name their children now and in the past?
考生
Well, actually, umm, the trend has always been changing since, I don't know, like 2000 years ago. Umm, parents in different times are considering different factors. For example, like 50 years ago they consider more about political causes and traditional culture and values, but nowadays they take more into consideration their personal traits.
考官
Are there any names that are more popular than others in China?
考生
China, absolutely yes. As I have just mentioned, most Chinese parents choose their children's name based on cultural connotation and their hopes and wishes for their children in the future. So obviously on some diction or some words are more frequently used than others. Especially the ones that sounds merely fluish and listening because they need to take consideration are the pronunciation.

× Names are often being used by other people in conversations and daily activities.
✓ Names are often used by other people in conversations and daily activities.
这里的“being used”使用了进行时态,但在表达习惯动作时应使用一般现在时的被动语态,即“are used”。
× So we need to make sure that the pronunciation is euphemius, and secondly, it must have very important cultural connotations.
✓ So we need to make sure that the pronunciation is euphonious, and secondly, it must have very important cultural connotations.
单词“euphemius”拼写错误,正确应为“euphonious”,意为“悦耳的”,形容词用法正确。
× And however, in the future, I think we probably would use some of the English names more frequently in the future.
✓ However, in the future, I think we probably would use some of the English names more frequently.
“And however”是重复连接词,语法错误,应去掉“And”只用“However”。
× Parents in different times are considering different factors.
✓ Parents in different times consider different factors.
此处描述的是一般事实,应使用一般现在时“consider”,而非现在进行时“are considering”。
× Especially the ones that sounds merely fluish and listening because they need to take consideration are the pronunciation.
✓ Especially the ones that sound merely fluent and pleasant to listen to because they need to take into consideration the pronunciation.
“sounds”应为复数“sound”与先行词“ones”一致;“fluish”拼写错误,应为“fluent”;“listening”用法错误,应改为“pleasant to listen to”;“take consideration”缺少介词,应为“take into consideration”。
