翻譯 Translation
Mark: Xiaoshi, look! I got this wedding invitation, but I don’t know who these two people are.
Xiaoshi: You don’t? Let me have a look. . . so you don’t know who Lee Ta-cheng is?
Mark: Lee Ta-cheng? I know who he is, but it says Lee Chun-nan.
Xiaoshi: Oh! Lee Chun-nan is your friend’s father, you can see the characters “Ta-cheng” written here.
Mark: Yes, but why did he write his father’s name on the wedding invitation when he is the one getting married?
Xiaoshi: This is called the “shuming.” It is often signed by the mother and father in traditional wedding invitations.
Mark: Is it because mom and dad paid for it?
Xiaoshi: You could say that, since the signature means that father and mother will invite guests to attend.
Mark: Oh, I see. I got it!
