While many people find this Chinglish to be funny, it also confuses(使困惑)English speakers. On Dec. 1, 2017, China carried out its first national standards(规范) for the use of English in public service areas.
The standards include more than 3, 500 Chinese-to- English translations in
13 areas, including transportation, sports and education. This means that many Chinese words will now have standard English names.
For example, the English word for the Chinese dish lamian "lamian noodles". For kaochuan and mixian, the English names are“ barbecue”and“rice noodles”
As for places, shaoniangong is called" children’s palace". The entertainment activity nongjiale that we enjoy in rural areas is called “agritainment". There are also many English warning phrases, like "mind your head" for dangxinpengtou.
The standards are part of efforts China has made in the past years to fix incorrect English. Many cities have already fixed a lot of signs that show the wrong English translations. In 2015, Shanghai opened a 7234 hot line to encourage people to report incorrect translations.

知识积累 注意hundred, thousand,million 的用法
翻译句子 The experts said that the system’s translations were as good as the human translations. 注意 as ---as /not as/so---as 的用法
Artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) can help us make phone calls. It can guide us to where we want to go. It can play games. And now, AI can do even more things.
Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English, Business Standard reported.
According to Microsoft’s official website, researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then, language experts compared the results to two translations that were done by humans. The experts said that the system’s translations were as good as the human translations.
Machine translation is always challenging. This is partly because different words can be used to express the same meaning. It can be hard to say which word is more “correct”.
Experts used several methods to improve the system’s translation abilities. “Much of our research is really learned from by how we humans do things,” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.
One method is called dual learning (对偶学习). In this method, the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English, as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are exact .
Another method makes use of deliberation networks (推敲网络). The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually, the system can improve the quality of its translations. This is similar to how people correct their own writing by going through it again and again.

Dear Gramps,
I was so upset last week when somebody stole my Super Racer from the park by your house. I called up the toy company but they said they have only red, blue and green racers. Dad called Cobb's Toy Store today and found out they might have purple ones. Can we go there when I come to visit you next week You and I were only gone for a few minutes to the shop down the street to get ice-cream and cookies. Maybe the thief was watching us. Mum was surprised when I told her the racer was stolen. She said she used to leave things at the park all the time when she was young. Once she even left her bicycle for two days near the swimming pool.
Tell Grandma that I like the food she made last time. Ask Grandma if we can have pancakes with sugar for breakfast when I come this time. I have packed in my towel, comb and soap. Tell her this time I won't forget to pack in my toothbrush.
Love
Toby
