What are the things whose names are very similar but completely irrelevant?
As human beings, we often meet people with the same name or even the same surname, perhaps because there are some rules in naming names, or perhaps because the population is too large now, so it is inevitable to meet some coincidences. Not only people, in fact, with the development of science and technology, many items will collide with their names or be suspected to be brothers. So today, let's count the things with similar names, but they are completely irrelevant.
the notebook is the first thing to do. Now we simply talk about notebooks, and it's hard to tell whether it refers to a notebook we use to take notes in class or a convenient and compact computer. In fact, this is completely an own goal. Literally, it is easy to understand that a notebook is called a notebook simply because its function is to take notes, so it is directly named a notebook to highlight its function. But why is a notebook computer called a notebook? This is simply because this is a foreign word, and notebook computer is also called portable computer. It was born abroad and was named The notebook as soon as it was born. When it came to China, it directly translated its foreign name into a notebook. From the point of view of daily use, these two items with exactly the same name are really far from each other.
the second thing that makes me want to vomit is Dove. It's amazing to say, after all, they are all well-known big brands. Why do you have to steam such an English word? In fact, I didn't pay much attention to it before, because one was chocolate, named Dove, and the other was shampoo, named Dove. I couldn't stand it anyway, until one day when I was washing my hair, I didn't know what was going on in my head. Suddenly, I found that Dove's English spelling was the same as Dove's. At that time, I thought I had discovered some hidden secrets, because the two products came from the same company, and I secretly admired them, thinking that this company had done a good job in cross-border. I didn't realize it was a complete misunderstanding until I got to know it carefully. I don't know why they both have to name it, but sometimes I listen to foreigners in a hurry. In China, there are at least Dove and Dove. But if a foreign girl tells her boyfriend to buy Dove for me, do you think her boyfriend should buy chocolate or shampoo?
Let's talk about what my science buddy told me. Everyone should know that the so-called mathematics is the mother of science, so my buddy often spits at me. He is often scolded by the teacher because of the word difference, but this is not to blame for the teacher's strictness. For example, everyone should have heard of the name Gauss. He is a great mathematician. Then Gauss's law and Gauss's theorem suddenly seem to have no difference, and it always feels as if they are all formulas about mathematics put forward by Gauss. But the truth is that Gauss's law is mainly used in physics and is a basic formula in electromagnetism. The Gauss theorem is used in mathematics, also known as the divergence theorem. My careless little friend talks about physics in math class, so it's strange not to be scolded.
As I said above, many things have similar or even identical names, but they are completely different, so be careful not to make jokes.
