Proper nouns

What are the differences between the names?
Below are more examples of different proper nouns.

專有名詞的定義：
專有名詞是特定的人、事物、團(tuán)體、地方、機構(gòu)等的名稱，其首字母要大寫。除個別外，專有名詞通常沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式。
例如：
1.人名、地名、書籍報刊等：
Jenny,Smith,Caption Grey(格雷船長),Miss White,China,Asia,the Great Wall,London,Times《時代》周刊
2.組織機構(gòu)、街道場所、建筑物等：
the United Nations，Bank of China，the Summer Palace，the Shanghai Railway Station
3.節(jié)日、月份星期等：
the Spring Festival，the DragonBoat Festival，the New Year's Day,the Mother's Day,
May,Sunday
專有名詞的注意事項：
1.因為專有名詞具有專有獨一性，所以一般情況下，專有名詞的第一個字母要大寫，不能在專有名詞的前面加上不定冠詞"a"或"an"。
如：
Beijing is the capital of China.
How does Alice make Joyce laugh?
但是有時專有名詞可以轉(zhuǎn)化成為普通名詞，轉(zhuǎn)化后它就具有普通名詞的特性了，即可以在其面前加上不定冠詞"a"或"an",在其詞尾加上表示復(fù)數(shù)形式的"-s"。以下是專有名詞轉(zhuǎn)化成可數(shù)普通名詞的例子：
A Mr Green called just now.
剛才有位格林先生打來電話。
（此時a Mr Green=a man called Mr Green）
I knew a John Lennon,but not the famous one.
我認(rèn)識一個叫約翰的人，但不是著名的那一位。
There are three Johns in this class.
這個班里有三個叫約翰的人。
（此時three Johns=three persons called John）
There are many Edisons in our country.
此句有兩種不同的意思：
其一、我們國家有許多叫愛迪生的人。
其二、我們國家許多像愛迪生一樣的發(fā)明家。
2.姓氏是專有名詞，一般沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式，而且也不能加定冠詞"the".但是，當(dāng)姓氏的前面加定冠詞"the",在后面加上"-s",表示“一家人”。
如：
the Smiths史密斯一家人
The Blacks have moved house.
布萊克一家已經(jīng)搬走了。
3.有些專有名詞表面上看是復(fù)數(shù)形式，但是在實際使用中謂語動詞通常采用單數(shù)形式。
如：
the United States 美國
The United Nations was organized in 1945.
聯(lián)合國是1945年組建起來的。
（這里把“the United Unions”看成一個整體。）

專有名詞前加定冠詞the的規(guī)則：
1.在大多數(shù)國名之前不加定冠詞the。但當(dāng)國名為復(fù)數(shù)名詞或詞組時（以“n.+of+n.”或“adj+n.”為結(jié)構(gòu)）時必須加上定冠詞the。
eg：
the United States of America.
the People's Republic of China.
the United Kingdom.
the United Nations
2.在表示海洋（ocean/sea）河流、島嶼、山脈、沙漠或地區(qū)等世界上獨一無二的名詞之前通常加定冠詞the。
eg：
the Paciflc Ocean
the Yellow River
the Peal River
the Alps
the Sun
the East
3.在表示酒店和旅館、電影院或戲院或劇院的名詞前通常加定冠詞the。
eg：
the Garden Hotel
the Shanghai Grand Theatre
