Today's new words
我们有教宗了! Wǒmen yǒu jiào zōng le! Habemus Papam!
方济各一世 Fāngjìgè yīshì Pope Francis I
教宗方济各 Jiào zōng Fāngjìgè Pope Francis (no I)
The name for Francis, like so many other Western names, is transliterated into Chinese characters that have more to do with the sounds rather than the meaning. Literally translated by word, 方济各 means "locality economic each." But it sounds close.
