     What’s in a name? When you’re a 41-year-old woman from Hartlepool, England, the answer is 161 words, including “Stereo”, “Coalition”, “Feedback” and “Ben”。  名字可以有多长?如果你是41岁的英国哈特尔普尔妇女,答案则是包括“Stereo(立体声)、 Coalition(联合)、 Feedback(反馈)和Ben(本)”等在内的161个单词。
  According to a BBC News report, Dawn McManus, 41, has legally changed her name to this:
  BBC新闻称,41岁的唐·麦克马纳斯合法更名,新名字为:
  Red Wacky League Antlez Broke the Stereo Neon Tide Bring Back Honesty Coalition Feedback Hand of Aces Keep Going Captain Let’s Pretend Lost State of Dance Paper Taxis Lunar Road Up Down Strange All and I Neon Sheep Eve Hornby Faye Bradley AJ Wilde Michael Rice Dion Watts Matthew Appleyard John Ashurst Lauren Swales Zoe Angus Jaspreet Singh Emma Matthews Nicola Brown Leanne Pickering Victoria Davies Rachel Burnside Gil Parker Freya Watson Alisha Watts James Pearson Jacob Sotheran Darley Beth Lowery Jasmine Hewitt Chloe Gibson Molly Farquhar Lewis Murphy Abbie Coulson Nick Davies Harvey Parker Kyran Williamson Michael Anderson Bethany Murray Sophie Hamilton Amy Wilkins Emma Simpson Liam Wales Jacob Bartram Alex Hooks Rebecca Miller Caitlin Miller Sean McCloskey Dominic Parker Abbey Sharpe Elena Larkin Rebecca Simpson Nick Dixon Abbie Farrelly Liam Grieves Casey Smith Liam Downing Ben Wignall Elizabeth Hann Danielle Walker Lauren Glen James Johnson Ben Ervine Kate Burton James Hudson Daniel Mayes Matthew Kitching Josh Bennett Evolution Dreams
  As even the former Ms. McManus will acknowledge, it’s basically just a big jumble of nonsense between the words “Red” and “Dreams” — although that’s really the point. She changed her name, she said, to draw attention to her charity, Red Dreams, which supports young people who want to pursue creative careers. “We have processed a number of crazy name changes to date, but this is the longest one on record,” said Tina Clough, spokesperson for The Legal Deed Poll Service, which handles name change requests in England。
  这位麦克马纳斯女士自己也承认,这个名字仅仅是由Red和Dreams两个关键字把守的一长串毫无意义的字符。她说,改名的目的是为引起人们对她创办的慈善组织“Red Dreams”的关注,该组织旨在帮助那些希望从事创造性职业的年青人。“迄今为止,我们处理过大量千奇百怪的名字变更,但这是所有登记在册的名字中最长的一个,” 英国负责名字变更请求的法律契约服务中心发言人蒂娜·克劳夫说。
  There are lots of practical considerations to ponder about having a 161 word long name, as the BBC notes: “Ms Dreams said she did not know how the new name would fit on her passport or bank card but hoped she would be allowed to use initials or an abbreviated version。”
  正如BBC所说,起一个长为161个单词的名字需要考虑许多实际问题。 “Dreams女士坦言,她自己也不知道如何在护照或银行卡上使用她的新名字,但她希望能够被允许使用首字母缩写或缩简版。”
  That does looks like a problem, unless her card provider has some ingenious way of printing infinite simally small font on the card. But, aside from everyday annoyances, if she wants to keep what’s possibly one of the world’s longest names, she’d better be ready to take on challengers。
  除非信用卡供应商在打印极小字体时有奇招,否则这的确是个难题。而且,如果她希望保持最长名字的世界纪录,除了应对日常生活中的不便利之外,最好还要做好迎战挑战者的准备。
  A Scotland man formerly known as Nicholas Usansky changed his name via Deed Poll to “Barnaby Marmaduke Aloysius Benjy Cobweb Dartagnan Egbert Felix Gaspar Humbert Ignatius Jayden Kasper Leroy Maximilian Neddy Obiajulu Pepin Quilliam Rosencrantz Sexton Teddy Upwood Vivatma Wayland Xylon Yardley Zachary Usansky” in January, in order to claim the title of world’s longest name for a living person. And in a post-record interview, he indicated that he’d be able to go even longer。
  一名曾叫Nicholas Usansky的苏格兰人,在今年1月通过契约服务中心将名字改为:Barnaby Marmaduke Aloysius Benjy Cobweb Dartagnan Egbert Felix Gaspar Humbert Ignatius Jayden Kasper Leroy Maximilian Neddy Obiajulu Pepin Quilliam Rosencrantz Sexton Teddy Upwood Vivatma Wayland Xylon Yardley Zachary Usansky,他改名的目的是想获得世界在世人口长名之最的头衔。在更名之后的采访中, 他表示还可以把名字改得更长。
  “There’s no point in having a really wacky name like that and not having the longest in the world,” he told The Scottish Sun at the time. We have to admit, he has a point there。
  在接受《苏格兰太阳报》的采访时,他说:“起这么古怪的名字,却不是世界上最长的,那就没有什么意义了。”我们得承认,他的话很在理。
