Gary
“Gary” 是英语常见男性名字,可能源自古日耳曼语名字或诺曼法语名。在职场、新闻与日常对话中作为人名出现。

- “We met Gary at the conference in Chicago.” (我们在芝加哥的会议上认识了 Gary。)

可能来自古日耳曼语元素 gar(矛)+ wald(统治),经多种欧洲语言演变为人名 Gary/Gerald 的简称形式。
“Gary” 为专有名词,无词缀结构。
20 世纪中后期在美国、英国、澳大利亚非常流行;Gary Cooper 等名人使该名具有经典好莱坞联想。
- 固定搭配: “Hi Gary” (嗨 Gary), “Gary’s team” (Gary 的团队), “ask Gary” (问 Gary)
发音接近中文“盖瑞”,与常见译名一致。
