A Girl's Name女孩的名字

When our daughter was born, we named her Myles, after my beloved late father, despite family warning that the name was too masculine.

女兒出生時，我們給她取名叫邁爾斯，和我深愛的也已過世的父親同一個名字，不過家人提醒這個名字太男性化了。

Years later, when I felt she was old enough to understand, I explained to Myles, Your name is very special. I named you after my own father because I loved him very much. I know he would be proud of you.

幾年以后，我覺得邁爾斯已經長大，能夠懂事了。我對她解釋說：你的名字很特別。我給你取了一個和我爸爸一樣的名字，因為我非常愛他。我相信他會為你而深感自豪的。

Myles thought carefully about this and then said, I know all that, Mom. But I don't understand why my grandfather had a girl's name.

邁爾斯很仔細地想了一下，然后說道：這些我都懂，媽媽。可是我不知道外公為什么會有一個女孩子的名字。

1.born

在這里是作動詞，不過我們今天要學的是born作為形容詞時的用法。

born rich 天生就有錢

born smart 天生就是聰明的

born ready 一生下來就已經準備好了

be born to do sth表示天生會...

eg:I was born to kill you. 我生下來就是為了殺你。

2.beloved

adj.被熱愛的；親愛的；為……所愛的n.心愛的人，可愛的人；情人；

親愛的教友有時寫信或者開頭的稱呼也可以寫my beloved...表示說我心愛的什么什么，我敬愛的什么什么，我可愛的什么什么...
