The bones were carved with symbols; the symbols eventually became words, and it was from these that the Chinese script developed from.

骨头上刻着符号； 这些符号最终变成了文字，汉字就是从这些符号发展而来的。

Not only did the oracle bones give birth to the Chinese script, but they also acted as primary sources for the people of Shang China.

甲骨文不仅催生了汉字，而且还是商朝人民的主要资料来源。

I know your writing is much more condensed; you're going to have to get used to writing being... taking up more space than the Chinese script.

我知道你的写作要简洁得多； 你将不得不习惯于写作...比中文脚本占用更多的空间。

The Chinese script started as  a series of pictograms but, over time, the images became easier to duplicate  and served more as a symbol than an actual depiction. During the Shang dynasty, as many as  3,000 new Chinese characters were introduced.

中国文字最初是一系列象形图，但随着时间的推移， 这些图像变得更容易复制， 并且更多地作为一种符号而不是实际描述。商代传入的新汉字多达3000个。
