Machine translation has been in the news lately, so I thought it might be interesting to conduct an experiment. I've chosen four different Chinese texts (excerpts from a novel, a film and two newspaper interviews), translated them into English with Google Translate, and added my English translations (three of which have appeared on Paper Republic in the past year).

© madtptLife in Shanghai is what you make it. Most big cities are like that. If you let it, a job in most cities will eat your life.

Sometimes your professional life and personal life do manage to overlap, though. And that can be okay.
