A sign is likely to be more simple, consisting of one or two lines, such as a dollar sign or an equals sign. The meaning of a symbol may be less well-known than the meaning of a sign. * symbol除了用以指代表化学元素的字母符号外，通常还指具有固定含义的形状或小图。sign可能更简单，由一两条线组成，如dollar sign（元的符号$）或equals sign（等号=）。一个symbol的含义可能不如一个sign的含义那样为人所熟知。
