帶著問題看新聞：
▸ 哪些原因使得中國人的姓比較少？
▸ 「共享，共用」用英文怎麼表達？
▸ 「一筆，一畫」在英語中如何表達？
With 1.37 billion citizens, China has the world's largest population, but has one of the smallest surname pools. Only about 6,000 surnames are in use, according to the Ministry of Public Security. And the vast majority of the population -- almost 86% -- share just 100 of those surnames（姓）.
There are a few reasons for this: China is less racially diverse than countries such as the US, where a wealth of minority groups increase surname diversity. It also has to do with language; you can't just add a random stroke（一畫，一筆）to a Chinese character and create a new surname, the way you can add a letter to an English name.
People sometimes changed their names for convenience, too -- for instance, simplifying（簡化）complex characters by adopting similar-sounding ones with fewer strokes（更少的筆畫）.

有幾個原因造成了這一現象：與美國等國家相比，中國的種族多樣性較低，美國大量少數族裔增加了姓氏的多樣性。
