ah, so seeing as I didn't burst your bubble, then you were probably directing your frustration at the other guy. sorry for the confusion, I thought you were getting at me, haha. yeah, as you said, those american broadcasters should learn how to pronounce properly as long as liu xiang keeps kicking ass.

I'm assuming you're referring to rudgerus, because, as I said "I myself can [speak] both language just fine."

I'm guessing you've never learned chinese before.

the FUCK are you guys arguing about he pronounced it fine
johntsebastian


and yes, some ...
and yes, some chinese people will find it enormously difficult to develop a more americanized/britainized manner of speaking, especially if they start learning english at an older age. if they can't pronounce lebron james, then yeah, perhaps they should start watching espn and seeing how his name is properly pronounced.
pandacomics


I myself can ...
I myself can pronounce both languages just fine. I don't see how it could be that much more difficult for them to perfect the pronunciation.
pandacomics


You yourself should ...
You yourself should TRY to understand different ppl rather than insult entire groups of ppl. you say that "American broadcasters are forever cursed with sheer inability to pronounce any chinese name." Maybe Chinese are cursed with the inability to pronounce Lebron James? Now quit being so pompous!
rudgerus


Theyare ...
Theyare transliterated for a REASON: because Chinese have trouble pronouncing foreign words (especially the R sound). So why do you insult Americans who have trouble pronouncing Chinese? Americans TRY just like Chinese TRY to pronounce foreign words. Don't ridicule people who TRY!
rudgerus


you're half right. ...
you're half right. the strong "a" sound (unsurprisingly located in the letter a) still persists.
pandacomics


That's because ...
That's because they're transliterations, as much as "John" is pronounced by the French as "Jean" and by the Germans as "Hans".
pandacomics


Haha but you ...
Haha but you pronounce Bush as BOO-SHI and clinton as KUH-LING-DWEN
