机器翻译与人脑翻译 Machine Translation and Human Translation

Nowadays, all sorts of translation software or electronic dictionaries are emerging in an endless stream and people can get a lot of help from using of them when studying and working. Therefore, some people say that new translation tools will inevitably replace the human translation one day in that translation software or machines are becoming increasing exact and accurate in dealing with the words or phrases, even the sentences. In addition, compared with human translation, new translation tools are more convenient and less time-consuming.

如今，各种翻译软件或电子词典层出不穷，在学习或者工作中人们可以从中得到很多帮助。因此，有人说新的翻译工具将会替代人工翻译因为软件或机器翻译在处理单词或短语甚至是句子的时候越来越精确。此外，与人工翻译相比，新的翻译工具更方便、更省时。

However, on the other hand, some people hold that translation machine will never replace human translation, as computer will never replace human brain. The sentences or the passages translated by translation machines are rigid and inflexible because translation machines cannot change or convert the meaning of the words or phrases according to different occasions. And what’s worse, if we depend on translation machines too much, we will be lazy in thinking independently and likely to lose our ability of thinking.

然而，另一方面，有些人认为翻译机器永远都不会取代人工翻译就像电脑永远不会取代人脑一样。由翻译工具翻出来的句子或者段落会比较僵化死板因为翻译机器不能根据不同场合改变单词或短语的意思。更糟糕的是，如果我们过于依赖翻译机器，我们会懒于进行独立思考，可能会失去思考的能力。

Taking above into consideration, I support the latter. As far as I am concerned, we should never let ourselves controlled by digital products or other things. As for translation, I think that we should try our best to do it by ourselves at first before using the tools, especially the students.

综上所述，我支持后者。在我看来，我们不应该让自己受数码产品或其他东西控制。至于翻译，我认为我们应该在使用翻译工具之前尽我们最大的努力去想，尤其是学生。
