每日口說挑戰 「姓氏」大絕種！我們什麼時候會變成史密斯一家人呢？ (Surname Extinction: When will we all be "Smiths"?)

今日挑戰句子

Back in the days, new surnames were created as well based on someone's job or father's given name or where they came from. But that doesn't really happen anymore, not on a large scale, anyway. So more surnames are lost than new ones are being born.

很久很久以前，姓氏都是根據那個人的工作、父親的名字或是他們的家鄉來命名。但是這機制現在也已不適用了 ——至少大部分的人都不適用。因此，舊有的姓氏便逐漸失傳，新的姓氏則不斷冒出。
