"The Chinese Puzzle: Unraveling the

Intricacies of Learning Mandarin"

　　Chinese Puzzle——“中國迷題”,是西方對中國傳統益智玩具的統稱。七巧板、九連環、孔明鎖……和這些玩具一樣,學習中文,這門被譽爲世界上最難的語言,何嘗不是一道“中國迷題”?
   Chinese Puzzle is a collective term westerners used for traditional Chinese toys, such as tangram, nine-linked ring, and kongming lock. And just like those toys, learning Chinese, the world's most difficult language, can also be seen as a "Chinese puzzle."
