《English Translation》

小美: Teacher Li, do you know what my name means?
李芳: Of course. In '小美', the character '美' means beautiful or pretty.
小美: Then what about '小'? Is it because I’m small?
李芳: That too, but more often it’s a loving nickname from your family.
小美: Oh, so my name means 'a little bit of beauty'?
李芳: You could understand it that way. It also shows your family’s wish for you to always be lovely and good.
小美: So names can carry blessings too!
李芳: Yes, every name has a story and a heartfelt meaning.
小美: Then Teacher Li, what does your name mean?
李芳: ‘芳’ means fragrance of flowers, and it carries the hope that I can be gentle and fragrant like a flower.
