偶爾會收到別人的名片台谍，對方姓：Ng[1]骗卜，根據維基上的解釋：
Ng (pronounced [??]; English approximation often /???/ or /???/) or /????/) is a Cantonese, Shanghainese[1] and Hakka transliteration of the Chinese surnames 吳/吳 (Pinyin transliteration for Mandarin equivalent: Wú) and 伍 (Mandarin Wǔ) meaning "five". In Hokkien (Taiwanese) and Teochew, Ng corresponds to the surname 黃/黃 (Mandarin Huáng) meaning "yellow"; or to 阮 (Mandarin Ruǎn).
The surname is sometimes romanized as Ang, Eng, Ing and Ong in the United States and Ung in Australia. Ng is sometimes romanized as Woo or Wu even by people of Cantonese origin, such as John Woo. In Vietnam, the corresponding surname is Ng?. In Cambodia, the corresponding surname is Oeng.
所以下次再遇到的時候可以問問對方是哪里人，如果是香港人乓诽、上海人或者客家人，那可能姓“吳”或者“伍”，如果是臺灣人或者潮汕人莽囤，那么可能姓“黃”或者“阮”。
對于同一個姓切距，在不同的拼音體系下面朽缎，寫法是不同的，比如普通話里面的陳（chen）谜悟，粵拼（Jyutping）會寫成（chan）话肖，有人整理了一個詳細的對比列表，對于查詢姓氏在Mandarin葡幸、Cantonese最筒、Min Nan、Hakka中的不同拼法有幫助：《List of common Chinese surnames》
