刚才看到一个电邮回信, 他说他叫“Anthony", 不叫”Tony“。 唉, 他(华裔)已在这里工作了二十来年了, 我叫他Tony, 他这么给我回信。
下面是我给他私下回邮:
Thank you very much for your help.
When I first arrived here to begin my Ph.D. program, I was a bit confused. My supervisor often mentioned a professor he knew well, Anthony Thompson. He sometimes referred to him as "Tony," and I didn't initially realize it was the same person. It took me a while to understand that "Tony" was simply a nickname for Anthony.
