In Chinese, a single symbol is called Zi (字, that is a character). When related characters are put together, the combination is called Ci (词, that is a word in Chinese), which can be used to indicate specified objects. Due to the big difference of the two languages and their usage, words in English may not be necessarily translated into Chinese as single characters, some should use two or more characters to express them, and some words have different translations in both languages.
For example:
man - 男人
woman - 女人
child - 小孩
flower - 花
red flower - 红色的花 or 红花 (for short)
tiger - 虎 or 老虎 (either is okay, here 老 has no meaning)
There is no such thing as a Japanese Alphabet. Japanese uses 2 syllabaries (symbols that represent whole syllables) and about 2000 Chinese characters.
約翰 (in Chinese traditional characters) 约翰 (in Chinese simplified characters) Pronunciation: Yue1 han4 (in Mandarin pinyin pronunciation)
Pinyin (拼音) is romanization of Chinese characters. Basically, it spells out the sound of the Chinese word. To translate from English to Pinyin, you would have to know what you are translating in English, the translation in Chinese, and then the romanization of the Chinese characters.
The Chinese characters for Cinderella look like this: 灰姑娘 .
Without seeing the exact Chinese characters, I assume the given Pinyin symbols represent the pronunciation of 我今年 [wǒ jīn nián], which mean 'this year I...' in English.
