Tips

culture

尤利西斯 transliterates the Latin name 'Ulysses' (Greek: Odysseus / 奥德修斯 Àodéxiūsī). In modern Chinese it most often refers to James Joyce's 1922 modernist novel 尤利西斯 (Ulysses), translated into Chinese in 1994-1995 by Xiao Qian (萧乾) and Wen Jieruo (文洁若). The novel re-tells one day in Dublin as a parallel to the Odyssey.

memory

Phonetic mapping: 尤 (yóu) = 'U-', 利 (lì) = '-li-', 西 (xī) = '-sse-', 斯 (sī) = '-s'. 斯 is the standard final-S transliteration character (also in 阿尔卑斯 Alps, 莫斯科 Moscow).
