Google Translate 谷歌翻譯

Kent and Grace commented in English about my Grandsons and my Mother's 91st birthday.
I tried using Google Translate tool to translate them into Chinese. I was amused at the Chinese translation. The translation was way too far off. We can not trust computer translation especially Google's, just treat it as a joke.
康德和葛瑞思用英文留言對我的孫子及母親91歲生日回應。我試用谷歌翻譯工具從英文翻譯成中文。譯出來的中文真是離譜得太遠了。將「壽比南山福如東海」譯成那麼樣, 叫人哭笑不得。電腦翻譯還是難採用, 尤其是谷歌的翻譯工具, 就當笑話好了!

Foggy Morning 晨霧

Sirtea was enjoying the morning fog. The fog finally lifted.
And the flood water receded yesterday.

茶翁在欣賞着矇矓的晨霧。 不久濃霧就消散了。
倒灌入的湖水昨天也已經退去了。

Lake Level 湖水漲

After continual rain, the ground soaked wet. Our county's drought restrictions were lifted. The lake's water level rose to higher than usual. Lake water back flooded in through the drain holes. We are on a small hill. We don't have flood problem, but this picnic area. And this rarely ever happened.

連續下雨, 土壤都濕透了。鄉鎮也已經取消乾旱用水限制。湖水漲得比往常高, 從泄水出口反灌入湖邊休閒的地方。我們家位於小丘上, 不會有水氾, 僅僅這一小部份。這也是非常罕有的事。

Tiny Pigs 超小豬

Newborn mini pigs, have you seen them before? The hairs stand up all over its body. They are called arrow pigs. Cute, very cute.

看過這種剛出生超小的箭豬嗎? 有趣的是它們身上的毛髪是站立起來。非常可愛的小箭豬。

Rake Leaves 掃落葉

After rain and wind, leaves are all over the yard. Even though I can use gas blower/vac, I choose hand rake. Raking leaves will become my morning exercise for a while.

經過連續幾天下雨和風吹, 院子裡樹葉掉落到處都有。雖然可用吸吹器, 我選用爪耙仔。我將掃落葉當作這段落葉期早上的運動,一舉兩得呢。

Grass Seeds 撒草子

Ground was soaked wet after several days' rain. This morning I sowed grass seeds on barren spots. Hope that it would stop slope soil erosion.
連續下好幾天雨, 地上都濕透了。今天早上我在這段斜坡撒草子。希望長草可以減少因雨水所造成的土壤流失。
