Assigning Chinese names is no easy task. Because Chinese has no alphabet, each syllable must be approximated with a character.

给外国人做中文名并非易事，因为中文没有字母表，一个音节必须与其近音的汉字相对应。

I kept noticing letters of the alphabet inside the characters, and I began to wonder if you could actually write an English word inside the Chinese character.

我一直关注着蕴藏在汉字里的英文字母，于是开始思索，能不能把一个英文单词写进汉字。

Chinese languages do not have an alphabet. Instead they have a character for each word, which does not indicate pronunciation (although it sometimes contains a phonetic element).

中文没有字母系统，而是每一个“单词”都有一个对应的汉字，但是这些汉字并不表音(尽管有些汉字有声旁)。

Because what you don't see in this file is any code a that actually says put a letter of the alphabet at the top left hand corner of the screen and then put the next character to the right in other words, I'm taking for granted at this moment in time that my computer knows how to print something to the screen.

就是这些你在本文件中看不到的一些代码,实现了将首字母,放在屏幕的左上角,然后把其他字母加在其右边，我想当然地认为,我的电脑知道如何打印相应信息到屏幕上。
