>>>American pronunciation of the word.<<<
Humorous watching you go from saying there is no single Chinese
pronunciation of the word to suggesting there is an 'American
pronunciation.' On the Metrorail I hear Americans pronouncing it eye ching,
eye jing, ee ching, ee jing, and yee jing, depending on many demographic
factors.
How is the pun captured in non-English translations?
