How to Pronounce Jeffrey Epstein (Real Life Examples!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxjG9N0yh-8 Jeffrey Edward Epstein (EP-steen; January 20, 1953 – August 10, 2019) was an American financier and sex offender. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein 名從主人，所以不同人的姓雖然拼字相同，讀音也不同。 https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/epstein https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Epstein Both Epstein and Einstein are German -Jewish names based on the German word for stone (Stein, pronounced shtine). Many Jews in the USA - and other countries of the diaspora- came from countries in Eastern Europe where they spoke Yiddish, a language based on a German dialect. In Yiddish, — Stein is pronounced closer to steen and it is this pronunciation which is largely used for names with the -ei diphthong. The Epstein name and pronunciation has presumably come through the Eastern European/ Yiddish route (so epp-steen) On the other hand, Albert Einstein, coming from a middle class German Jewish family, would have spoken German as a mother tongue and would most likely have pronounced the name according to standard German pronunciation (something like ine-shtine). As the sht- combination is not known in English, the pronunciation became corrupted (in the English speaking world) to ine-stine. https://reurl.cc/97GgWX -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 220.136.193.201 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/ask/M.1704616374.A.2C1.html
