Tim Pppppppppprice
1.Tim Pppppppppprice: changed just to make it difficult for telemarketers to pronounce
改名为蒂姆·普普普普普普普普普普莱斯(Tim Pppppppppprice)，只是为了让电话推销员很难把它读出来。
Sick of cold-callers, Tim Price has put them off by changing his name to avirtually unpronounceable list of consonants. According to him, it's pronounced "Tim Per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-rice."
厌烦了电话销售员的蒂姆·普莱斯(Tim Price)为了屏蔽他们，便把名字改成实际上一长串不发音的辅音。据他讲，他的新名字读成“Tim Per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-per-rice.”
The 49-year-old from Leicester hopes his name will make people think twice about contacting him. He said he has no regrets over the name change and will now refer to himself as Tim "10p" Price.
这位来自莱斯特的49岁大叔期望他改的这个名字能让人们在联系他时再多想想。他表示自己并不后悔改名，而且现在会把自己称作Tim "10p" Price.(心疼他，被电话销售员烦成这样不容易。)
