👂 Transcript*
不知道在學中文的各位有沒有思考過，幫自己取一個中文名字？我小時候在語言機構學英文的時候，當時的老師給了我第一個英文名字，叫Celia，上課的時候要用的。那時候我大概才八歲。我覺得有個英文名字還蠻酷的，但不知道為什麼就是覺得[不對勁₁]。再加上後來我學到了一個英文單字，意思是形容一個人笨笨傻傻的，我當時覺得Celia這個名字如果發音不正確，很容易就聽起來像是那個英文單字，於是變得不太喜歡跟人分享我的英文名字。直到高中，我開始認真思考要不要換個英文名字。以中文名字來說，我喜歡兩個字就好，聽起來既簡潔又率性，而且寫考卷的時候不用花太多時間在寫名字上面。所以在挑選英文名字的時候，我的標準也相同，希望簡短好發音。於是呢，我自己挑了我現在的英文名字，也就是Lori。它跟了我很多年，我到現在都還是很喜歡，我覺得它很好聽，而且我對它也感到有[共鳴₂]。
