英语翻译
You have a first name to tell who you are.You have a last name to tell
who your family is.
But a long,long time ago,people didn't have last names.They had to
invent last names because there were too many Charlies,too many Roberts,
and too many Marys.People started to ask:Which Charlie?
So if a Charlie was a carpenter(木匠),he became Charlie Carpenter.
If a Robert was a son of Peter,he became Robert Peterson.If a Mary lived
near the woods,she became Mary Woods.
This is the way that some last names started long,long ago
名字告诉人们你是谁,姓氏告诉人们你家庭是哪一族.
但是很久很久以前,人们没有姓氏.因为有太多的查理斯,罗伯特和玛丽,人们不得不发明姓氏.人们开始问:哪个查理斯?
所以如果查理斯是木匠,他就是查理斯 卡彭特.如果罗伯特是皮特的儿子,他就是罗伯特 皮特.如果玛丽住在森林附近,她就是玛丽 伍兹.
就是这样很久很久以前姓氏开始产生.
