Tips

culture

Best known as the reclusive 1960s civil-rights novelist Terrence Mann in Phil Alden Robinson's 《梦幻之地》/《棒球梦》 (Field of Dreams, 1989), played by James Earl Jones. His monologue "People will come, Ray" is one of American cinema's most quoted speeches. The character was loosely modeled on J.D. Salinger.

usage

泰 (tài) + 伦 (lún) + 斯 (sī) renders "Terrence" / "Terence"; 曼 (màn) handles "Mann". Modern subtitles often write the full name 泰伦斯·曼 with a middle dot — the un-dotted run-on form 泰伦斯曼 is the spaceless variant.
