类数组初始化的问题，以及复制构造函数const问题

今天再编写C++的作业时，又遇到一个问题，MyString SArray[4] = {“big”,“me”,“about”,“take”};这个的初始化始终出错。起初我的理解是该语句的初始化是：SArray[0]（“big”），也就是用一个字符数组来初始化一个class MyString，但是我已经写了这个构造函数啊，不应该出错啊。然后在一步猜测，这个初始化可能是SArray[0]（Mystring & str），但是也不对啊，我也写了复制构造函数啊，然后百思不得其解，结果一下午又耗在这上了，唉，哭笑不得。
终于在3小时候发现了错误，原来我的复制构造函数写成了Mystring（ Mystring & str），正确应该是Mystring（const Mystring & str）,因为这是一个const型实参，因此形参必须是const型，否则传参数是要失败的，因为const型的变量不能够给变量来赋值（如果赋值了，变量一边，const也变了，所以干脆编译时就禁止）。因为这一个小错误，浪费了3小时，唉，以后一定要注意，赋值构造函数的参数设成const型，可以确保正确。
但是以上题目我依旧有一点不大明白，也就是说为什么类数组初始化是用Mystring类来初始化的，而不是用字符数组“big”这一些来初始化的。希望继续学习后能解决此迷惑，或还请高手指点一二。

以下附上我的代码：

	for( i = 0; s[i]; ++i)

	d[i] = 0;
		
}

{
	for(int i = 0; s1[i] && s2[i] ; ++i) {
