A Playground for Names: Ways to Play Names
獻給小時候還沒搞懂卻先學會寫名字的每一個你。
姓名是我們生命中第一個學會寫的字,也常是我們認識一個人的第一步,但除了功能性的使用名字,你有想過自己的姓名其實藏有很多祕密嗎?人的一生中有許多需要用到姓名的時候,舉凡自我介紹、申請註冊、或辨識身分,每個人對自己的名字都再熟悉不過,然而我們可能都從未思考它是怎麼來的。
Designed for everyone who learned to write their names before they knew anything about the world.
Our names are the first words that we learn to write and are often the first thing we learn about a person. However, besides serving as a way to identify and differentiate between people, have you ever thought about the secrets hidden in your name?
There are many times in people’s lives that they have to use their names, such as introducing themselves, applying/registering for various events, or identifying themselves. Everyone is familiar with their own names; however, few have really thought about how they came to be.
雖然多數人的名字在自己誕生前就被決定,但每個人身邊好像都有幾個怡君、家豪的「菜市場名」朋友,也時常出現姓名用字特別容易被念錯的朋友,究竟這是命運無情的捉弄,還是統計上真有根據呢?
Although most people’s names were decided before they were born, everyone seems to know a few friends who have very common names (e.g., Jennifer and James) and/or names that are easy to mispronounce. Is it bad luck that they have such names, or is it something that is statistics-based?
為了解開童年的疑惑,桃花源的起點精心打造了姓名遊樂場,你的姓名就是這個遊樂場唯一的代幣。雖然你無法得知它的價值(因為每個名字本來就沒有好壞),但你可以用它和全台玩家一起比拚,它也能帶你探索出生前的取名秘密,帶著你的名字,一起來玩耍吧!
To help visitors answer these questions, The Peach Blossom Spring has created the playground for names, where visitors’ names are tokens to be used at the playground. Although visitors have no way of assessing the value of their names (because all names are equal), visitors can use them to compete with other players. Through the competition, visitors may find out why their names were chosen and have fun with their names.
