Recently, it is universally acknowledged that due attention has to be paid to the importance of name. To begin with, a large number of people assert that one’s name can exert profound influence on the success of a person or institution. In addition, some even maintain that the mental health and physical fitness of a person will be influenced or even determined by his or her name。
最近，人们普遍认为名字的重要性应当引起一定的注意。首先，很多人宣称一个人或者机构的名字能对人或机构的成功产生深远的影响。其次，一些人认为一个人的身心健康甚至都受名字的影响。
On the contrary, it is the view of a great many people that one’s name is of little significance. I can think of no better illustration than the following ones. "Qiu"， which means "hill"， is the name of Confucius, the greatest thinker, philosopher and educator throughtout history. Likewise, another case in point is Lao Zi, the founder of philosophical and religious Taoism, whose name is “er”， which means “the ear”. These examples effectively clarify that one’s future is only determined by his striving spirit, talent or intelligence rather than some mysterious and superstitious factors such as certain names or lucky numbers。
相反，另一些人认为名字不重要。没有事例能比以下事例更能说明问题了。丘是山的意思，是历史上伟大思想家、哲学家、教育家孔子的名。另一个例子是哲学和道教的创始人老子，他的名字是耳，耳朵的意思。这些例子充分证明一个人的将来完全决定于他的奋斗精神、天资和勤奋，而不是那些神秘和迷信的因素，比如名字或者幸运数字。
As for me, significance should be attached to intelligence, persistence and diligence instead of one’s name. Given all the above arguments, it is high time that we put an end to this undesirable phenomenon。
在我看来，人们更应该看重智力、恒心和勤奋而不是名字。综上所述，是该结束这一不必要的争论的时候了。
