Tips

culture

萨姆勒 transliterates 'Sammler' - most famously the protagonist of Saul Bellow's 1970 novel Mr. Sammler's Planet (《赛姆勒先生的行星》, the title's standard Chinese transliteration uses 赛 instead of 萨 but both are used). 'Sammler' in German means 'collector', though as a surname it functions as a name only.

memory

Phonetic: 萨 (sà) for 'Sa-', 姆 (mǔ) for '-m-', 勒 (lè) for the trailing '-ler'. The 勒 syllable is a Chinese standby for foreign '-ler/-ller/-lar' (cf. 希特勒 'Hitler', 勒布朗 'LeBron').
