Most Westerners have little understanding of Chinese culture. For them, a Chinese name writ ten in a Western alphabet is simply a name that is somewhat more difficult to pronounce or remember. What's more, they cannot distinguish between the given name and the surname.
大多數西方人對中華文化並無瞭解，對他們來說，用羅馬拼音寫成的中文名字只是一個較難記住發音而已，更無法辨認哪個是名，哪個是姓。
