You can't pronounce the names of these Japanese stars wrong!

I don't know if everyone has this feeling, before learning Japanese, I originally thought that as Chinese, we had an absolute advantage, and we didn't have to feel a headache about Kanji! When we see the names of Japanese people, even if we can't pronounce them in Japanese, we can also call them out in Chinese, but when we meet them, we will find that we are very wrong, and our Chinese level is far less excellent than we thought

You can't pronounce the names of these Japanese stars wrong!

Introduction: Sawajiri Erika, also known as Sawajiri Hideryūwa. Born on April 8, 1986 in Tokyo, Japan, he is an actress, singer and model.

I believe that many friends are fans because they watched the TV series "One Liter of Tears" starring Sawajiri, I don't know how many tears we earned at that time ~ ~ ~

On March 8, 2013, Sawajiri attended the 36th Japan Academy Awards (Japan Academy Awards) and was nominated for the Outstanding Actress Award for the role of Li Lizi in "Wolf". On April 19, 2014, she starred in the Japanese Television fuji series "First Class", playing Nami Yoshinori.

On April 13, 2015, he starred in Fuji Tai's ninth drama "Welcome to My Home", and on May 30 of the same year, he participated in the movie "Shinjuku Swan". Starred in the SP special drama "Daio", which aired on Fuji tv on January 22 and 29, 2016, as "the strongest side room in history", the evil girl Miyo who seduced the shogun, and the "holy girl" Ame who endured jealousy from other side rooms. In 2016, he participated in the 24:00 TV annual SP special drama "Mr. Blind Mr. Shuze", which was broadcast on August 27.

■ "尻" means "ass" in Chinese, but can also be extended to mean "end, last" in Japanese. Therefore, "Sawajiri" is actually used as a surname just like "Ueno", "Tanaka", etc., which denote place names, and can be understood as "the lower reaches of a small stream". In fact, students who can't pronounce the word "Jiri" also just expose that your language must not be well studied. I have already learned this Chinese character in the "Three Rules of The Wolf of Liaozhai Zhiyi" "The body is half in, and the tail of the dew is stopped"

The main meaning of the word is the same as "boundary", which mainly refers to "border, the boundary limit and scope of a region".
