I have find the answer by goole

i.e. (from Latin "id est") means: that is (to say).

e.g. (again from Latin "exempli gratia") means: for example; for the sake of example.


Thank you very much!

hi
 i.e.

The term i.e. means "id est" in Latin or "that is" in English. A trick that
I use: If you can replace "i.e." with "in other words" then you are using it
correctly. "I.e." is used to specify what your are trying to convey.
see the following actical about the i.e vs e.g
http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/abbreviations/f/ievseg.htm

hope it helps

"ie" means "For example". It is similar in usage to "比喻说". (I think they are the characters, not sure).

Sorry, I need to correct myself. I just checked with my Chinese
colleague to make sure I was getting my Chinese right, and he says 比如
is a better translation than 比喻。

Hi,

The closest manderin sound would be "nv2 bi4" , ie sounds a bit like
characters "女毕".
