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).
