美國的名字American Names

In China, our name is made up the first name and the last name. In America, people’s name is also made up of the first name and the last name, but there is something different. In China, our last names are from our ancestors, the last names are put in front of the first name. While in America, their last names are put behind the first name. The order is the main difference. After knowing the American name, we must be careful with these names, when we call the foreign friends, we should call their first name, when we are not familiar with them, we should call their last name. Don’t mix it with Chinese names.

在中國，我們的名字是由姓氏和名字組成。在美國，那里人的名字也是由姓氏和名字組成，但是會有些不同。在中國，我們的姓氏是繼承我們的祖先的，姓氏是放在名字前邊。然而在美國，他們的姓氏是放在名字后面。順序就是主要的不同。在了解了美國的名字后，我們必須要對這些名字提神，當我們稱呼外國朋友時，應該叫他們前邊的名字，在我們和不熟的人打招呼時，應該叫他們的后面的名字。不要和中國的名字弄混了。
