No vegetables no fruits no animals, please!
选择英文名字很简单，不要蔬菜、不要水果、不要动物，好！
But...
例句：
The copolymer latex of butyl acrylate and VAE was prepared by interpenetrating polymer networks ( IPN ) method.

Jeez, I wish they'd tell us what the hell is going on. 很好，这些名字成功引起了英语共读编辑的注意。

Well well well ...除了No vegetables no fruits no animals以外，取一个好听的英文名字还有哪些技能需要get起来？
拼音取名
这是中文罗马化的唯一标准方法。在美国的中国人很多就用拼音做名字，并没有影响日常的交流。比如李玲，译过来就是Ling Li。或者是英文的谐音，如张丽丽，译成英文就是Lily Zhang(香港为Cheung、台湾为Chang)。如果不是很懂文化差异的人，就可以选择这种取英文名的方法。
词典附录
取一国际出版社的词典附录，一堆的英文名，自己大致看下，和自己的姓连起来读，顺口即可——这个是最稳健不容易出糗的办法。伊迪丝（Edith）、科拉（Cora）和埃尔希（Elsie）都是热门选择。
美剧英剧
Thousands of parents are naming their babies after Downton Abbey characters, new figures have revealed. The TV show's huge popularity has inspired a resurgence of 1920s fashion and hairstyles, and now the old-fashioned names of its characters are also back in vogue.
