Andreas von Bechtolsheim
网上译名不一（我猜主要是有不少译者把该人当成英美人，殊不知德国人和英美人的姓名音译起来有很大不同），不知这个德国人的姓名应当译成什么好？
谢谢！

Andreas von Bechtolsheim
安德里亚斯·冯·贝希托尔斯海姆
von在德语里是一个介词，相当于英语的of，以前只有贵族或有钱人的姓里才有这个字。Bechtolsheim是一个地名，von Bechtolsheim 这个家族很可能是当地的一个大地主。
现在von这个词早就失去了身份的标志，不过我觉得听起来还是蛮神气的。

谢谢！
我在网上查了一下，发现“贝托尔斯海姆”的说法远多于“贝希托尔斯海姆”。所以疑惑中。。。

德语里ch这个字母组合的读音很像于汉语拼音里的x，所以比较完整的译法应该是“贝希托尔斯海姆“。不过人名翻译比较灵活，“贝托尔斯海姆”也不能算错。

Bin,
Just out of curiosity, when is "ch" pronounced like the Chinese sound "希", and when is it pronounced like the sound "喝" or "克".
I'm puzzled why the traditional translation for the last name of the famous composer/pianist Johann Sebastian Bach is 巴哈.

ch在a和o的后面读成"喝"。

Thanks, Bin.
One further question ... so is it "喝" or "克"? I know either way it's silent.

More like chinese Pinyin "he", but the "h" is stronger, 浊辅音。

Thanks. That's what I figured, 'cause my mom was a pianist, and she used to pronounce it correctly as in German. Most people in the U.S. pronounce Bach as it sounds in the following link ...
http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/Bach
The pronunciation must have been Anglicized.

It sounds /baak/ in English, the German way is /baahe/. Your Mom is (was?) very noble in her pronunciation.

The pronunciation of "ch" in German can be generalized to a rule: When it's behind a hard vowel in a syllable, such as /a/, /o/ or /u/, it is pronounced somehow like "赫"; otherwise, i.e., behind a soft vowel or an umlaut in a syllable, such as /e/, /i/, /ä/, /ö/ or /ü/, pronounced somehow like "希." For instance, "Mach" has been translated correctly, in respect of its pronunciation, into China as "马赫." So, Johann Sebastian Bach's family name should have been translated as "巴赫."
There is a famous German meat and vegetable stew called "Pichelsteiner Topf" or "Pichelsteiner Fleisch" or sometimes simply "Pilchelsteiner." I would translate this special stew into Chinese as "皮夏尔斯泰恩火锅." http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/89458362.html?fr=qrl
If "ch" leads a syllable, i.e., stands in front of a hard vowl to form a syllable, it is pronounced as /k/ and somehow like "希" otherwise. However, we say in German "No rules without exceptions": In the southern parts of Germany, people tend to pronounce "ch" leading a syllable as /k/, so that "China" would be pronounced by a Southerner as /kina/ instead of something similar to /xina/ or, more exactly, /çina/ as denoted in International Pronunciation Alphabets. We take southern accents for non-standard. The standard pronunciation can be heard from the announcers of TV news, which is usually regarded as Hannover accent, like Beijinger accent in Chinese.
