    Please call me William

    今天是周六,不过根据安排要上周四的课,从上午一直上到晚上,现在都有点累了。有个好消息是,晚上的高级宏观课以后会改在周五晚上,那样的话就不用这样拼命上一整天的课了。从大二下学期就已没再上过英语课,今天上午又开始了,老师叫Norman,主要带领大家练习口语,还要求每周要写两篇日记。

    说到起英文名字,说真的,在今天之前还没有个像样的。去年参加达沃斯论坛做志愿者,一起工作的瑞士朋友问起我的English name,还不好现场编一个,只好说sorry,人家看了我胸前的工作牌,竟然准确的读出了yuwei(玉伟)两个字。最早的起英文名字的机会是在高一下学期,英语老师要求每人起一个英文名字,下课后同学都兴奋的围在一起翻大英文词典后面的英文名字,我凑上去怯生生的(因为都是高一下学期就分文理科,都是新同学,还不熟悉)说一会儿我也查一下,这时某女生竟然给我说,你还用查吗,直接叫“伟哥”不就行了。

    呵呵,好在当时还白璧无瑕,无比纯洁的我不知道“伟哥”是什么,估计那个女生当然也不知道的啦,倒没什么尴尬。只是不在好意思在那儿等着查词典,最后的结果,我就给自己起了一个读起来听起来看起来都蹩脚的英文名字,到现在自己都已经忘记了,咳咳。时隔八年多,今天又要起英文名字,博士姐姐们果然水平不凡,一问之下竟然获赠一个好英文名字。从此,请教我的全名,达文西,哦,不,请叫我的英文名字,William。呵呵。

    在想英文名字的时候,还跟旁边同学开玩笑说,要不就叫Justin,Justin Yifu Lin大名鼎鼎啊可是,呵呵,或者就叫Paul或Krugman,去年的诺贝尔经济学奖得主。不如干脆等两天,2009年的诺贝尔经济学奖获得者公布再起英文名字,呵呵。只是现在已经叫做:William Yuwei Gao。据查,William(威廉),意为强而有力的战士或保卫者。

    David (希伯来)挚爱的意思。人们形容DAVID是强壮,英俊,聪明的男人善良,幽默又独立。大卫,希伯来所爱的人。
