It will surprise you.字母U是什么时候进入字母表里的呢？字母U 的故事一定会让你吃惊。There was no letter U in the alphabet. Well, thats not the entire story. There was the sound for the letter we call U, but it didnt look like U. It looked like V. The Classical Latin alphabet had only 23 letters, not the 26 that we have today. (This is why the W looks like a double V but is pronounced like a double U.)过去字母表中是没有字母U 的。好吧，这并不是完整的关于字母U 的故事。过去有字母发“U”的音，但它看起来并不像“U”，它倒是看起来像“V”。古拉丁语字母表只有23个字母，并不是像我们现在这样有26个字母（这也是字母W看起来像是两个V但发音却像是double u的原因了）。For a very long time, U and V were allographs. Whats an allograph? An allograph is a variation of a letter in another context. Uppercase and lowercase letters are allographs. Before the use of the letter U, the shape V stood for both the vowel U and the consonant V.有很长的一段时间，字母“U“和”V“都是异形文字。那么异形文字是什么呢？异形文字是一个字母在另一个语境中的一种变体。大写字母和小写字母都是异形文字。在字母“U”的使用之前，“V“既代表了元音“U”又代表了辅音“V”。The letters begin to look different in the Gothic alphabet in 1386; however the use of the u was not widespread. When scribes did use a u, it was in the middle of words, e.g. save was saue, but upon was vpon. It wasnt until printing standardized letter shapes in the 1600s that the letter U became regularly used. First, in the 1500s, Italian printers started distinguishing between the vowel U and the consonant V. However, the V continued to be used for the U sound at the beginning of words. In 1629, the capital U became an accepted letter when Lazare Zetzner, a printer, started using it in his print shop.那些字母在1386年开始在哥特字母表中呈现出不同。然而，“U”的使用并没有广泛传播。当抄写员使用“u”时，“u”一般是在单词中间的，例如，“save”写成“saue”，但是“upon”写成“vpon”。直到17世纪印刷术规范了字母形状后，字母“U”才被统一规整使用。最初在16
