4种英文邀请信（精选10篇）
作者：文／陳雅琦圖／廖祐瑲 | Cheers雜誌 – 2015年6月18日
隨著英文名字很可能成為職場夥伴對你的第一印象，甚至天天陪伴著你見客戶，千萬要小心取了個「自我感覺良好」卻會讓老外捧腹大笑的英文名字！
6月初，美國導演羅蘭‧艾默瑞奇（Roland Emmerich）在個人臉書貼文表示，「我們剛已簽下來自中國閃亮的新星加入《ID4星際終結者2》，歡迎Angelababy！」消息一出，外國網友除了紛紛回應：「她是誰？」也有位外國網友點出不少老外的共同疑惑：「我不相信這是她的真實名字。」（I don’t believe that’s her real name.）
以藝名的角度看來，這樣甜美的名字似乎無傷大雅。不過，對一般上班族來說，卻有另一個值得探討的議題。有些名字聽在外國人耳中，實在令人匪夷所思、甚至讓人捧腹大笑！以下是台灣人取英文名字的常見地雷：
【1.看似甜美，卻有著尷尬涵義的名字】
在台灣常見的女生英文名字，像是Candy、Cherry、Brandy Kitty、Honey、Brenda等，聽起來甜美，然而在英語系國家裡，它們通常是脫衣舞孃或鋼管女郎等特種行業的名字，其中Cherry又帶有「處女」的意思，Candy則帶是”sex”的委婉說 法。也有不少人替自己取名為Fanny、Dick，則和性器官有關。取了這類的名字，小心讓外國友人啼笑皆非。
【2.「把自已當神」的英文名字】
有些人會從神話裡找取名的靈感，像是希臘羅馬神話裡的Zeus（宙斯）、Apollo（阿波羅）、Athena（雅典娜）等，雖然聽來有幾分親切，但聽在老外耳中，不免覺得有些好笑或太驕傲、霸氣了，而Lucifer（路西法）則是聖經故事裡從天使墮落為撒旦的角色。「這種感覺就好像老外取個華人名字叫『閻羅王』或是『修羅』還是『林默娘』，」膝關節半開玩笑比喻。
【3.聽起來「老一輩」的名字】
長年旅居國外而後在英國成家的Turvey，曾在網路上撰文指出她的觀察。當Turvey的英國先生看到她朋友或朋友的孩子名叫Brian、Stanley、Gill、Doris等，常常忍不住笑得人仰馬翻。這些名字常被外國網友提到「聽起來太過時（Old-fashsion）了」，讓人聯想到年長的祖母。
【4.把西方人的姓當成英文名字】
有些人取名字時則會以西方名人為靈感，例如取美國發明家Edison（愛迪生）、備受尊敬的美國前總統Lincoln（林肯）或是法國寫實主義畫家Miller（米勒），甚至是蘋果電腦創辦人Jobs（賈伯斯）這類的英文名字，這在老外聽來又是另一種笑點。不妨注意一下這些常出現在報章雜誌上的人名，通常是偉人們的姓氏，而不是名字。
【5.「不該當名字」的名字】
不少外國網友提到台灣人取的以下英文名字實在很詭異，像是Apple（蘋果）、Kiwi（奇異果）、Ginger（薑）、Jam（果醬）等以食物為名。這就好比有個台灣人名叫「林芭樂」或「陳果醬」，在老外聽來，取這類名字的人似乎自己也不看重自己。
