华为改名字了! 原因让人眼前一亮

2018-04-07 蔡雷英语


有外媒报道,

为了方便消费者发音,

华为公司名称的拼写

HUAWEI

将更改为

Wahway



本来以为这就是一个愚人节的玩笑,

没想到华为南非官方推特账号确定了这个消息!


Huawei, the third largest cellphone company in South Africa, announced this week that they will be changing the spelling of their name to WahWay. This follows a detailed six-month global research study into consumer recognition of the Huawei brand.

南非境内第三大手机商,华为,本周宣布他们将会把他们的名字拼写改为WahWay。此项改革基于长达半年的关于华为品牌消费者识别度的全球调查。



“For quite some time now, Huawei has been aware of the fact that many people around the world struggle with the pronunciation of ‘Huawei’, which is a Chinese word,” revealed a WahWay spokesperson.“As the Huawei brand grows into the largest cellphone company in the world, we would like to remove any obstacles to achieving this. The results of our research study showed that aligning the pronunciation of the Huawei name with the spelling of the Huawei name will accelerate this expansion and make us an even more recognisable brand.”

华为发言人表示:“华为公司早已意识到,世界上很多用户无法发出华为这个音。根据华为此前对包括南非在内的43个国家所做的为期6个月的调查显示,将华为的发音以及拼写相结合,有助于华为在全世界范围内的发展,提升华为品牌的辨识度。”


然而在4月2日,这个官方账号又表示:这只是愚人节玩笑而已。


* This is an April Fool's story sent to us by Huawei.


之前有媒体在街头采访过,

让外国人念出“HUAWEI”的发音,

但几乎碰到的外国人都念成了“WAHWAY",

任总知道肯定会受伤的



都知道学英语不易

看来外国人学中文也很痛苦

老外学发音,

其实也都是这么个路子,

你是不是很熟悉呢……




“手臂”要念“Show Bee”,“膝盖”要念“She Guy”,“胃”直接就念“Way”……




“你好吗”念成“Knee How Ma”,小编已经献出膝盖……



哈哈哈哈哈哈

大仇已报!

有木有!!!
