User:GUYTU6J/Proposed Chinese translations

Part 2
In organic chemistry, many reactions and reagents are named in honor of their developers. Likewise, there are some patterns named after corresponding discoverers in CGoL. They are listed in Category:Patterns found by (person). However, no unified convention is set about the choice between surname (family name) and forename (given name), and both exist in current naming scheme per this thread.
A simple translation rule is that partial transliteration of the surnames will be preferred in Chinese pattern names, except when that causes confusion, in which case full transliteration will be used (e.g. Elkies's p5 and Scot's p5, Gosper glider gun and Gotts dots).
Patterns using surnames in English:
Beluchenko's p13 博氏p13, Beluchenko's p37 博氏p37, Beluchenko's other p37 博氏p37其二, Beluchenko's p40 博氏p40, Beluchenko's p51 博氏p51
Buckingham's p13 巴氏p13, Callahan G-to-H 卡氏G转H, Coe ship 寇飞船, Coe's p8 寇氏p8, Cordership 柯德飞船
Elkies's p5 埃基斯p5, Gosper glider gun 高斯珀滑翔机枪, Gotts dots 戈茨点, Kok's galaxy 科克星系, Merzenich's p11 莫氏p11
Merzenich's p18 莫氏p18, Merzenich's p31 莫氏p31, Merzenich's p64 莫氏p64, Riley's breeder 瑞氏繁殖机, Schick engine 席氏引擎
Silver's p5 西氏p5, Silver G-to-H 西氏G转H, Silver's reflector 西氏反射器, Simkin's p60 辛氏p60, Simkin glider gun 辛氏滑翔机枪
Patterns using forenames in English:
