德国科学家为保护稀有姓氏出新招

2010-09-03来源:和谐英语

  Scientists have proposed a worldwide campaign to push back common surnames, suggesting that the custom of always naming children after their fathers must stop.

  德国一份学术期刊最新刊登科学家文章呼吁,应该在全球范围内开展保护稀有姓氏运动。科学家表示,“行不改名,坐不改姓”,并沿用父系姓氏的传统,应该被打破。

  Two German scientists, Harald Jockusch and Alexander Fuhrmann warned rare surnames were dying out while too many Chinese were named Wang, too many English speakers were named Smith and too many Germans were named Mueller.

  两位德国科学家哈拉尔德·约库什和亚历山大·福尔曼警告说,稀有姓氏正处于濒危状态,而个别姓氏出现超庞大人群。比如,中国有第一大姓王姓;英国第一大姓氏是“史密斯”;德国人最多的姓是“穆勒”。
