曾有一篇博文说，英语是世界上最为广泛的语言之一，有超过75个国家将英语作为官方语言或者给予了特别的地位，会英语的人比使用汉语的人多，但就日常交流而言，用汉语的人比用英语的多，那为什么汉语不能成为世界通用语言呢？
A blog post once said that English is one of the most widely used languages in the world, with over 75 countries using English as their official language or giving it a special status. There are more people who can speak English than those who use Chinese, but in terms of daily communication, there are more people using Chinese than English. So why can't Chinese become the universal language of the world?

原因有些无奈，现如今推广哪种语言不是看文字是否科学，而是看使用它的人是否更有力量。
The reason is somewhat helpless. Nowadays, promoting a language depends not on whether the text is scientific, but on whether the people who use it are more powerful.

就历史而言，世界没有哪国的文字可以比得上汉字了，不是每个民族都能像中华民族一样伟大，能在原始社会就创造出文字，而这些东西对于有些民族而言，可能仅仅只是梦想，然而有不少国人认为汉字不严谨，同音字多，一句话也能有很多不同的意思，我觉得很可笑，或许这些人是没看过英语。
In terms of history, there is no country in the world whose writing can compare to Chinese characters. Not every ethnic group can be as great as the Chinese nation, creating characters in primitive societies. For some ethnic groups, these things may just be a dream. However, many Chinese people believe that Chinese characters are not rigorous, there are many homophones, and a sentence can have many different meanings. I think it is ridiculous, perhaps these people have not read English.

相比于每个字都能重新组合，仅仅认识800常用字就能看懂报纸的汉字，英语虽然仅仅只有26个字母，但若你想要阅读报纸的话，至少要有一万的词汇量，而且每次当出现一个新词的时候，英语都要生硬的去造一个，比如猪肉（pork），而猪（pig）肉（meat），从猪肉这个单词中你丝毫看不出，猪和肉的意思，而且你需要背的单词又多了一个，几百年之后，恐怕十万的词汇量都不够了，而汉字仅仅只要重组就够了。
Compared to being able to recombine every word, understanding only 800 commonly used words can help you understand the Chinese characters in newspapers. Although English only has 26 letters, if you want to read newspapers, you need to have a vocabulary of at least 10000 words. Moreover, every time a new word appears, English has to rigidly create one, such as pork, and pig meat, which you can't see from the word pork, The meaning of pig and meat, and you need to memorize another word, hundreds of years later, a vocabulary of 100000 words may not be enough, and Chinese characters only need to be recombined.

汉语和英语哪个好？有一位中国学者这么说：“汉字无疑是世界上最科学的文字，尽管英语比汉字看起来是那么笨拙，但我们还是要学，因为我们学习英语，是为了将来让全世界学习汉语”。
Which is better, Chinese or English? A Chinese scholar once said, "Chinese characters are undoubtedly the most scientific writing system in the world. Although English may seem clumsy compared to Chinese characters, we still need to learn it because learning English is to enable the world to learn Chinese in the future.".
