Did you know?
- When referring to Michael Jackson, the Chinese media almost exclusively uses 邁克爾·傑克遜. The middle dot · is used specifically to separate the first and last names of non-Chinese people.
- The character 遜 in 傑克遜 is also used in the word for 'inferior' or 'to yield'. This creates a stark contrast with the 'heroic' meaning of the first character 傑.
- When writing 'Jackson' in Chinese, the character 克 (kè) is frequently used in many foreign names like 'Clark' or 'Dick'. It is a standard 'transliteration character' used primarily for its sound rather than its meaning of 'to overcome'.
Examples in context
