Tips

culture

塔尔博特 is the standard four-character transliteration of the surname Talbot: 塔 (tǎ, 'pagoda') for 'Tal-', 尔 (ěr) connector, 博 (bó) for 'bo-', 特 (tè) for '-t' coda. The 尔 in middle position is a hallmark of English-sourced transliterations (compare 丘吉尔 Churchill, 麦尔斯 Mills). Famous bearers also include British race driver Talbot and the Talbot car marque.
