Anita
      Puerto Rico
      You ugly island

      Always the population growing
      And the money owing
      And the babies crying
      And the bullets flying
      I like the island Manhattan
      Smoke on your pipe and put that in

All
      I like to be in America
      Okay by me in America
      Everything free in America
      For a small fee in America

Rosalia
      I'll drive a Buick through San Juan
Anita
      If there's a road you can drive on
Rosalia
      I'll give my cousins a free ride
Anita
      How you get all of them inside?

All
      Immigrant goes to America
      Many hellos in America
      Nobody knows in America
      Puerto Rico's in America

Rosalia
      When I will go back to San Juan
Anita
      When you will shut up and get gone?
Rosalia
      Everyone there will give big cheers
Anita
      Everyone there will have moved here

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

A Chorus Line Aug 30, 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a9goH5ETdM




One (Composer: Marvin Hamlisch)

One singular sensation
Every little step he takes
One thrilling combination
Every move that he makes
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do
You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who

One moment in his presence
And you can forget the rest
For the guy is second best to none, son
Ooh! Sigh! Give him your attention
Do I really have to mention?
He's the one

She walks into a room, and you know she's
Uncommonly rare, very unique
Peripatetic, poetic and chic
She walks into a room, and you know from her
Maddening poise, effortless whirl
She's a special girl, strolling
Can't help all of her qualities, extolling
Loaded with charisma is my
Jauntily sauntering, ambling shambler

She walks into a room, and you know you must
Shuffle along, join the parade
She's the quintessence of making the grade
This is what you call traveling
Oh, strut your stuff
Can't get enough of her
Love her
I'm a son-of-a-gun
She is one-of-a-kind

One singular sensation
Every little step she takes
One thrilling combination
Every move that she makes
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do
You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who

One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest
For the girl is second best to none, son
Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention
Do I really have to mention?
She's the one

“An Art or a Math Problem?”



QHE,

For the basic stuff we're talking about (in our examples), it looks to me like a math problem that hasn't been solved.

Just for grins, I plugged in a few more English and Chinese sentences, and came out with similar poor results. And these were neither obscure nor artificial sentences made up to stump the machine, just some random everyday sentences off the top of my head.


[Edited at 2015-08-27 00:04 GMT]



当然,这属于一门比较特殊的数学,也就是主要涉及语言分析、逻辑运算的数学。我想,这也是为什么会出现计算语言学这门学科的原因。

J.H.

与错翻成 “威士忌” 和 “大肉” 相比,“心有余而力不足” 自然是强得多了。

但我觉得 “心有余而力不足” 还是没有把 “架不住世俗诱惑” 的一层意思翻出来。

Matthew 26:41 Aug 31, 2015

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/371000.html



The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

Meaning

A statement of the difficulty in living up to the high moral standards that one has set oneself.

Origin
From the Bible, Matthew 26:41 (King James Version):

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.


Of course one has to consider the context wherein the partial verse is being quoted.

I agree that in some circumstances/contexts, "心有余而力不足" would be sufficient and adequate.

OR 有心無力 (廣東話) Aug 31, 2015

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak = 力不從心;力有未逮。

全句:情緒高漲,奈何有心無力。

J.H.,

我觉得人们的思维推理方式各有迥异,语言表达方式也是千变万化;所以对同样的事物是不存在绝对 “标准化” 的自然语言表达形式。

而机器目前只能按人为设定的标准规则和程序执行所谓的翻译,这对转换那些可以 “标准化” 的 sublanguage 是会有帮助;但是 translation algorithm/model 还远远不能处理一般性的自然语言翻译(如 Steve 在前面指出的)。所以我认为机器对不同语言的转换是数学问题;而自然语言翻译本身更具有艺术色彩。

我当时看到这句话时未考虑其上下文。其实,如果把上下文考虑进去,译文还是可以再斟酌修改的。
