  Hello, Kickstarters注1. What if I told you that there was a delicious, savory[可口的] treat that you’ve never had before or maybe you never even heard of? What if I told you that it was probably already in your refrigerator? It’s the egg.
  Well, okay, so I exaggerated[夸张] a little. We’ve all enjoyed eggs at some point in our lives, but have you ever tasted or ever even seen what’s known as a golden egg? A golden egg is an egg that was scrambled[搅拌] inside of its shell, and it’s a unique preparation that has been relatively[相当地] unachievable[无法实现的]...until now. Introducing, the Golden Goose.
  We’ve carefully designed and engineered a new kitchen tool that allows you to create golden eggs yourself. It’s the goose that lays golden eggs. The Goose features ergonomic[人体工学的] handles, abrasion-resistant[耐磨的] nylon[尼龙] cordage[绳索], a tough scrambling chamber[房间], a securely-locking ring and a soft egg cradle designed to fit a variety of egg sizes and shapes.
  Inspired[使产生灵感] by the motion[运动] of a Victorian-era children’s toy, the Goose is a low-tech kitchen appliance[器具]designed to take advantage of what are known as centrifugal forces[离心力]. It’s been carefully designed for performance and can thoroughly mix an egg while protecting it from breakage[破裂]. The way it works is to hold the egg safely in its cradle while the spinning[旋转的] motion evenly mixes the egg white with the yolk[蛋黄]. Over the past year we’ve carefully designed and developed the Goose. Following a thoughtful design process, we started with loads of[许多] ideas and sketches[草图], created different geometric[几何的] prototypes[原型], 3-D prints and rubber molds, building and testing rough CAD注2 models, and performance testing a variety of materials.
  We tested our prototypes in a variety of situations as well, and took the best design to finalize[定案] it with sophisticated[精密的] computer CAD models. We’ve refined every important aspect and we’ve prepared the Goose for manufacturing[生产]. Our next step is to purchase the actual production tooling and materials. We secured competitive quotes from several manufacturers both domestically[国内的] and in Asia. We’ve crossed our “I”s and dotted our “T”s注3, we finalized the design and engineering details, and we’ve had fun inventing new and tasty dishes.
  And now we believe that we’ve created an innovative[创新的] and novel[新颖的] kitchen utensil[用具] that’s easy to use, fun and effective. Oh, and did we mention that it’s easy to assemble[装配], that it’s food safe? It’s made with recyclable[可回收的] materials and it’s easily disassembled[拆卸], so it doesn’t end up in the landfill[垃圾填埋地].
  各位Kickstarter用户,大家好!如果我告诉你们有这么一样美味可口的食物是你们从未吃过又或是闻所未闻的,你们怎么说?如果我说它也许早就待在你们的冰箱里呢?这就是鸡蛋。
  好吧,我说得夸张了点儿。我们总有些时候喜欢吃鸡蛋,但你尝过或者见过所谓的“金蛋”吗?“金蛋”就是蛋壳内部搅成一团的(散黄)蛋,这种独特的准备工作比较难办……现在可不一样了,我给你们带来了“金鹅”打蛋器。
  我们细致地设计并制作了一款让你自制“金蛋”的新厨具。这真的是能下金蛋的鹅呢。这个打蛋器的几大部件包括符合人体工学的手把、耐磨的尼龙绳索、坚韧的搅拌内胆、保险扣环以及为满足各种尺寸形状的鸡蛋而设的柔软蛋槽。
  “金鹅”的灵感源自一种维多利亚时期玩具的运动原理,是一款在设计上利用离心力原理的低科技厨具。它在运作上经过细心构思,可以在对鸡蛋进行充分搅拌的同时保持蛋壳完好无损。其工作原理在于将鸡蛋稳稳地放置在蛋槽里,利用旋转运动将蛋白与蛋黄均匀搅拌。在过去的一年里,我们对这款打蛋器进行了各种细化设计与开发。在考虑周详的设计完成后,我们开始构思各种方法,不断绘制草图,制作各种几何原型、3D打印和橡胶模具,用计算机辅助设计(CAD)创建雏形并反复实验,并对一系列材质进行各种测试。
  我们还在不同环境中对原型进行测试,并将表现最好的设计用先进的CAD模型进行最后润色。我们已经将“金鹅”的每一个重要环节都处理得尽善尽美,做好了投入生产的准备。我们接下来要做的就是购买生产机械以及所需材料,也从美国国内以及亚洲的好几家生产厂商那里拿到了很有竞争力的报价。我们注意到了每一个细节,将设计与制作要点最后定案,非常享受这个创作美味新菜式的过程。
  我们相信,我们所创制的这款厨房用具新奇有趣、充满创意,而且简单易用、趣味十足、行之有效。哦对了,我有提过它容易装配,而且符合食品安全要求吗?这个打蛋器采用了可回收材料,拆卸起来也不难,所以它最后也不会落到垃圾堆填区去喔。

  注2:CAD= Computer-Aided Design,计算机辅助设计。
  注3:习语,指检查每一个细节,把事情做到位。

问题一、所取英文名太常见  第一种问题是取的英文名太常见了,如:Tom、Peter、Lily、Lucy。这就像外国人取中文名叫赵志伟、王小刚、陈小平一样,虽然名字本身没什么问题,但给人的感觉过于普通,缺乏特色。  问题二、改名又改姓  一般来说,非英语国家的人到了英语国家,很多都会改名,但比较少会改姓的。这关系到家族荣誉,因此,无论自己的姓氏多么难读,都要坚持用。有些人取英文名时连姓也改了,如:司
