April 3, 2008 at 9:13 AMhi wildyaks, 由 (yóu) is a preposition which means 'by' or 'of', so in this case, 由 (yóu) .... 合成 (héchéng) means 'composed of .... ' You could use 用 (yòng) in this sentence as well. Oh and thanks for the heads up, that translation has been fixed now.

April 7, 2008 at 1:22 AMhi xiaohu, 不得不 (bùdébù) is used when a person has no choice, he has been obligated by someone else to do something or must do something. 非...不可 (fēi...bùkě) can be used in when speaking of one's own determination to do something.
