Rainy.
It’s not a transliteration, but the word is taken from it. In our dialects from the south, there are very few raised tongue sounds. They are usually flat tongue sounds, and there are only three tones. In our local dialect, there is no third tone (ǎ), and it is pronounced forward. , the range of mouth movements is also very small. If we pronounce these two words in our local dialect, the first word will be the second tone, and the next word will be the fourth tone. It is quite cute and embarrassing to read. However, when you read Mandarin, do you feel like you have to become extremely artificial for the sake of correct pronunciation and pronunciation with two and three tones of yu? In the Mandarin language environment, I would never tell others what my nickname is. It is really too ugly to pronounce, and I am embarrassed to pronounce it in Mandarin myself.
This is the origin of this name. I heard it from my mother. It’s actually quite interesting. My mother said that it was August when I was born. There were a lot of showers at that time. My mother went to the hospital from home. It hadn’t rained yet on the way, but it started to rain as soon as I was pushed into the operating room. It rained heavily. Summer showers usually include rain and thunder and lightning. The conditions of small hospitals in the county 20 years ago were not as good as they are now. Well, during the operation, the power went out. My mother was still lying on the operating table. There was lightning and thunder outside, and the operating room was so dark. It was actually quite scary when I thought about it. Fortunately, it was daytime. The operation could be carried out using sunlight, but anyway, I was born roughly like this. I heard that after I landed, the heavy rain stopped not long after, and there was a rainbow. It looked peaceful and quiet. Well, it's probably a story like this.
Later, the nurse lady told my mother to give me a nickname to commemorate the rainbow after the rain, something like rainbow and clouds. Fortunately, my mother was still a young and artistic woman at the time. Talking about rainbows and clouds was tacky. Well, let’s choose a name with the character for rain. Since she was born on a rainy day and still likes to cry, let’s choose a name that is a combination of the character for rain.
So my name was decided. I have been called "rain" for 20 years. What I dislike the most is rainy days. I have never seen a few real big rainbows. On the contrary, in the past 20 years, I have been called "rain". I like to cry as always. My mother said that I have grown up without making any progress at all. Maybe I shouldn’t have taken the word rain in the first place, so maybe I don’t like to cry so much anymore. Haha, after so many years, my mother is no longer the artistic young woman she used to be. She rarely calls me by my nickname anymore. Except for my grandparents, most of my family members use the last two characters of their scientific names. Maybe they also think that it is really not a good thing for a 20-year-old to cry when something happens.
