Read sth as sth
Hello there. I have a couple of questions regarding the following four sentences:
(A) They read this Chinese character as "zhong."
(B) This Chinese character is read as "zhong."
(C) This Chinese character reads "zhong."
(D) This Chinese character reads as "zhong."
Q1 Are they all correct?
Q2 Which do you normally use?
