　　Today's key word is Unique 不是优衣库，也没有试衣间哦！

　　（优衣库—UNIQLO）

　　Something that is unique is the only one of its kind.

　　唯一的；独特的；

　　Here's an example：

　　Everyone's fingerprints¹ are unique.

　　每个人的指纹都是独一无二的。

　　Notes:

　　Now, let’s learn the word in the news. Chinese parents always rack their brains when trying to come up with a baby name.

　　A journalist recently conducted a survey by collecting more than 3,000 pupils' names from 16 elementary schools in Hangzhou.

　　A list of the most unique names has since been widely circulated on Chinese media. The most eye-catching one is 谢主隆恩 (xie zu long en), which means "Thanks for your great mercy", and it was only used to express gratitude² to emperors in ancient China.

　　It is said the owner of the name has a sister called 谢祖圣恩 (xie zu sheng en), which means the same.

　　They are dubbed³ as "the Noblest Names".
