Make main directories accessible using English names in the terminal on a Chinese localized UI

[darn urash]

Hi,
There's a problem haunting me for years that If I choose Chinese as UI
language, the main directories (Documents, Downloads, etc…) are also
translated. It makes harder for me when I want to 'cd' those directories in
the terminal, because I have to type them in Chinese.

There's a little trick can fix this, but it makes directories untranslated:
export LANG=en_US
xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update
export LANG=zh_CN

Is it possible that Ubuntu could be just like it's in as OS X, that even if
those directories are translated, you also can access them using their
English names in the terminal?
Thanks.
