尤斯顿(人名)

Do you know Euston?
sb be called Euston
介绍姓名时常用 be called 结构;Euston 是专有名词,首字母须大写。
He is called Euston.
他叫尤斯顿。
a [person] named Euston
named 为过去分词,作后置定语修饰表示人的名词。
I met a man named Euston.

Common mistakes
euston is my friend.Euston is my friend.
英语表示人名的专有名词首字母必须大写,而中文没有大小写形式。将句首的euston改为Euston就符合英语拼写规则。
The Euston is my English teacher.Euston is my English teacher.
英语中单个专有名词(人名)前通常不加定冠词the;汉语“那个/这位”的习惯容易让人多加the。去掉the后句子才符合英语用法。
I and Euston are good friends.Euston and I are good friends.
英语并列主语把人称代词I放在最后,例如Euston and I;汉语“我和Euston”的语序直接搬进英语会导致这个错误。把I和Euston对调即可。

Pronunciation & Spelling
Euston /ˈjuːstən/ rhymes with Houston /ˈhjuːstən/ (the Texan city) from the stressed vowel /juː/ onward. Words like Boston, Aston, Preston, Weston and Kingston share the spelling -ston but have a different vowel before /stən/, so they do not rhyme with Euston.
