Google將Jacqueline 翻成"杰奎琳"。
我可以找出另外5種中文。***
會錯意英文的勇氣為 courage,戴明博士在倫敦喝到"Courage"牌的啤酒,不禁說起笑話來 (:這種勇氣,真簡單),參考《戴明修煉 II》。
其實, Courage是該啤酒公司的創始人的姓:
Courage & Co Ltd was started by John Courage at the Anchor Brewhouse in Horsleydown, Bermondsey in 1787.
Hanching:
... Saline is the name of a auto parts plant for Ford.Hope all is well, especially in Kaoshiung.Bill
賽萊恩(Saline)零組件廠 排程錯誤所引起的成本
(原來Saline 是地名(很容易Google),我們以前翻譯成"鹽水工廠"。這一次,我自問:為什麼福特汽車公司要有鹽水廠?....接下來,它的發音找不到確切的漢字對應。)
因為Bill提到高雄氣爆事件(他2007-2008當光寶集團的副總),我順道說,戴明博士這本書提到高雄 (自行車工廠),可惜拼法非標準,所以在Google Books 的地理資訊顯示不出來。
(關於鹽,本書提到威斯康辛州在雪後的公路灑鹽,原先將salt 翻譯成食鹽。張華兄在校稿時建議改過來。)

中國將Reagan翻譯成"里根",不知道根據什麼?
電影很少能影響到公共政策,但華府對於網路戰爭的政策,卻直接受到1983年票房大片《戰爭遊戲》的影響。里根總統看到這部電影后,網路安全才第一次進入美國最高決策圈
Ronald Wilson Reagan (/ˈrɒnəld ˈwɪlsən ˈreɪɡən/; February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was an American politician and actor, who served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989.
本月23日, Adele在個人Youtube頻道發佈全新單曲《Hello》,一天內就創下2700萬人次點閱數,輕鬆超越泰勒絲(Taylor Swift)《Bad Blood》的2100萬人次紀錄。
MV推出5天後,點閱數更突破1億人次,成為最快破億的音樂錄影帶,也立即登上Youtube年度最紅影片,如此驚人的紀錄根本無人能敵。

名字和稱謂容易錯譯 這可能的原因多多
譬如說 大家都學過英文 就以為它的發音方式全求通
所以 Klee 翻譯成克利等
說不定有人將羅斯福 翻譯成 陸/魯 斯福
"這作者名字之發音,翻譯錯誤: Tuch·man (tŭck'mən) , Barbara Wertheim 1912–1989.
American historian who won a Pulitzer Prize for The Guns of August (1962) and for Stilwell and the American Experience in China (1971).
如果沒有把握,應該參考各種發音辭典,如 Oxford Pronunciation Dictionary 或 『BBC英國人名發音辭典』等。
當然 "米悟虛"是林先生對 Czeslaw Milosz的翻譯 不過沒流傳
再記兩英文
sweetie, girl, "小姐"
還記得數月前 Obama 競選時稱人為 sweetie 而道歉的事嗎辭典這樣說
Meaning #1: a person loved by another person
Synonyms: sweetheart, steady, truelove
可是許多人認為只有自己最親蜜者才可以用它
同樣的 現在不可以稱人為 girl
就好像在2008年的廣東等地稱人為"小姐"一樣犯忌
