Tips

culture

Standard Mandarin transliteration of "Cicero": 西 (xī, "si-") + 塞 (sài, "-ce-") + 罗 (luó, "-ro"). Cicero (106–43 BC) is the gold-standard reference for classical rhetoric and Latin prose; in Chinese intellectual history he's frequently cited alongside Demosthenes (德摩斯梯尼) when discussing the Western oratorical tradition.
