Addressing people 對人的稱呼
"I notice that in the BBC's TV drama "Sherlock", the detective and his friend address each other by their first names - Sherlock and John. But in the movie "Sherlock Holmes", with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, they address each other by their family names only - Holmes and Watson. Is it because the former is set in contemporary times while the latter in the 19th century?"

偵探福爾摩斯是電視劇和電影中出現(xiàn)次數(shù)最多的角色之一。大家有沒有留意到，在以維多利亞時期為背景的《福爾摩斯傳》電影中，雖然夏洛克?福爾摩斯和約翰?華生是親密搭檔，可是在打招呼的時候他們都是以姓彼此稱呼。
比如："It seemed to me that a careful examination of the room and the lawn might possibly reveal some traces of this mysterious individual. You know my methods, Watson."
可是在BBC最新制作的《神探夏洛克》電視劇里，情況卻不一樣了。主角們打招呼的時候會直呼其名。
為什么同一個角色，稱呼卻不一樣呢？
在本期節(jié)目中，我們會和大家一起分享編劇們在給人物角色起名時的原則。
