Family Ties in Names
Hello! My name is Alan, and I'm from the UK. Here most people have a first, middle, and last name. My full name is Alan Luke Wood. Alan is my first name, Luke is my middle name, and Wood is my last name. We also call the last name a "family name" or "surname" .
My grandfather also has three names. His full name is George（/dʒɔːdʒ/） Charles（/tʃɑːlz/） Wood. My father's name is the same as my grandfather's. Can you guess why? It shows great respect to my grandfather. People call my father George Charles Wood, Junior, and they call my grandfather George Charles Wood, Senior.
My mother's name was Linda Grant, but now her name is Linda Wood. Why is that? Because in the UK, a woman often changes her family name to her husband's family name. Sometimes, however, the woman's last name and the man's last name are joined together. This allows both family names to live on.
Names show family ties. What do you think?
名字中的家庭纽带
你好！我的名字叫艾伦，我来自英国。在这里，大多数人都有名字、中间名和姓氏。我的全名是艾伦·卢克·伍德。艾伦是我的名字，卢克是我的中间名，伍德是我的姓氏。我们也称姓氏为“姓”或“姓”。
我爷爷也有三个名字。他的全名是乔治·查尔斯·伍德。我爸爸的名字和我爷爷的一样。你能猜到为什么吗？这是对我祖父的极大尊重。人们称我的父亲为小乔治·查尔斯·伍德，他们称我的祖父为大乔治·查尔斯·伍德。
我妈**名字叫琳达·格兰特，但现在她的名字叫琳达·伍德。为什么？因为在英国，女性经常将自己的姓氏改为丈夫的姓氏。然而，有时女人的姓氏和男人的姓氏会连在一起。这使得这两个姓氏得以延续。
