Li [as the author's last name] and others is the English equivalent of Li et al. In the word by word translation, the conjunction 'et' means 'and'. The syllable 'al.' is an abbreviation for 'alii'. The adjective/pronoun 'alii' means 'others'.
This is a bibliographic/footnoting/reference style. It's used to refer to many authors. This way, the reference identifies only the first of the authors by last name. It's less cumbersome and saves on printing ink and space.
