對漢語母語人士而言 純粹聲音的翻譯並無特別的意義 coca cola 被譽為傳神的 音譯 是因為它 將意義巧妙的融合在聲音當中 Shawn (Sean) 音為 / ˈʃɔːn / 義為 "God is gracious" 有讚頌神的寬大與至高無上之義 因此綜合音義 譯為 尚 或 上 而 Morris 義為 "son of More" 在此 取第一音節 作為 万 (mo4) 加上 俟 (qi2) 成為 万俟 万俟 是 古老的中文複姓 (俟 又讀作 si4 是等待 之義 也呼應 morri-S 之音) 因此 我譯 Shawn Morris 為 "万俟上" 或 "万俟尚" 万俟姓 http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E4%B8%87%E4%BF%9F%E5%A7%93
