問：「中文是象形文字，英文則是逐個字母拼合而成」：要解釋中英文字的分別，英文應怎麼說？
答：象形文字，英文叫hieroglyph。此外，中文字還可叫ideograph：字頭ideo出自idea（意思），字尾graph則指「圖形」或「文字」，合起來指「達意（但不顯示讀音）的圖文」。
英文有二十六個字母，叫letter，統稱為alphabet。若干字母併成的字則叫做word。
要解釋中英文字不同的結構，上述英文字不可不識：Chinese is an ideographic writing system which uses pictorial symbols, or hieroglyphs, to represent meanings, while English is an alphabetic writing system which uses a set of letters to spell out words。
問：「他被屈搶槍」英文怎樣說？
答：「屈」者，誣告也。捏造罪名，藉口等，英文叫做to trump（something）up；「誣告」則可叫a false / lying accusation，例如：（1）He trumped up an excuse for not going（他砌詞不去）。（2）The Hong Kong Public Security Bureau made a false accusation against him（香公安局誣告他）。
「他被誣告搶警察的槍」，英文可以有不同說法：（1）He was falsely accused of trying to snatch a police officer's gun。（2）He was implicated in a trumped-up charge that he had tried to seize a gun from a police officer。
