I have the answer to a question that we've all asked.

對於一個我們都會問的問題 我有個答案

Now I know we learned that in math class,

but now it's everywhere in the culture --

但它也延伸到日常文化的各個角落

which turns out to be a supremely logical language.

利用阿拉伯文書寫一個字或一個單詞

as Western science and mathematics and engineering

was really worked out in the first few centuries of the Common Era

by the Persians and the Arabs and the Turks.

由波斯人、阿拉伯人和土耳其人所發展出來的

This includes the little system in Arabic

"the system for reconciling disparate parts."

Al-jebra finally came into English as algebra.

The Arabic texts containing this mathematical wisdom

that just don&apos;t make it through a European voice box

by the characters that are available in European languages.

and it makes the sound we think of as SH -- "sh."

just like the the English word "something" --

而就像英文中"某些東西"的字義

And this is a word that appears throughout early mathematics,

而這個單字在早期的數學中出現

such as this 10th century derivation of proofs.

The problem for the Medieval Spanish scholars

who were tasked with translating this material

負責翻譯這些教材的西班牙學者而言

is that the letter SHeen and the word shalan

it formed the basis for mathematics textbooks

But now we have the answer to our question.

你沒辦法在西班牙語中發"sh"的音

1Common Era1:07 Common Era 是指「公元紀年」，是國際間最常見的紀年標準，以耶穌基督的出生年當作開始，也就是公元一年，所以縮寫 C.E. 可以做為 Current Era 「現今紀年」或是 Christian Era 「基督教紀年」，今年就是 2015 C.E. ，或是 A.D. 2015 ，A.D....
