: I am sorry I haven't replied to you BBW about this question, but I am still uncapable to figure out what was the problem I had with the input of Chinese characters... I am afraid my pc has some problems... I will be more trustful next time!

Comment: "Sunshine, Silvia和丽娟:我在论坛苦等你们几位足足有４８小时，仍不见回音。因此，只好痛下决心了。其实，“席琳.迪翁”这种译法在中国大大小小报刊杂志上随处可见，正如ＧＯＬＤＥＮ ＶＩＥＷ所言："此乃目前国内最权威的译法".但我却一直对此译法感到别扭,并且早就将这个问题在论坛提出：既然是女歌手的名字，且ＤＩＯＮ又是其娘家的姓，何必译成“迪翁”而不译成“迪昂”呢？碰巧这次ＣＨＩＮＥＳＥＰＲＯ也将它译为“迪昂".所以，我最后还是赞成她的译法，也算是借此得到点慰藉吧！再次感谢大家的帮助(包括Danbing He)！

席琳狄翁
Celine，也有译为“席林”的。 我本人更喜欢“席琳”用于女性。

You are right. We need to write the name as \"席琳·狄翁\".
Celine Dion has been famous for so many years and we\'d better not to make up a new name translation version now. As for \"狄翁\", it is the last name,... A family name...

: This is her "Official" Chinese name, appeared in media, tape, mtv, newspapers in P.R. of China. Sometimes use 塞琳-狄翁 too.

Discussion
Sunshine, Silvia, and Laurie:
I am awaiting you three in the Chinese forum,as I firmly hold the belief that �����������ͬ�Ļ���......
P.S. Silvia: Your answer is illegible.Perhaps you should add some notes...
There seems to be no more space here, you two may continue to "talk" to me in the Chinese forum(Choose any thread that you like.)
Also, since it's a name, do we need to put a "." between the first name and the family name? Please advise.Thanks.
