Mechanical Translator Stumper
10 Jan 2013
The first is from Google Translator:
I saw the snow swirling but not plum
Fragrance scarred do not need to see Huaminglou
The next is from Bing...
I saw snow falling can't
幽香撲撲無需顯花明!

英语无法翻译出汉语的修辞以及意境

Snowflakes are floating densely, leaving the prunus-mume flower hidden from my eyes;
Breezes of fragrance, however, remind me that they are blossoming secretly around-a scene, thought wonderful, does not need to be found.
It can be done but it may not give the exact sentiment.
I commend you for your efforts! The meaning of the first line is passable while the 2nd may not reflect accurately what its intention was. However, this is OK since there is no context in which this two lines reflect :) Hold on we shall start discussing the translation in depth when others have tried their hands.
I shall be writing a detailed explanation and translation notes soon. Then it will be more fun when we discuss and have different opinions.
