<p>很多英语在翻译成中文的时候，如果只是从字面翻译，并不能准确得译出它的本意，比如“<span word="Take">Take</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="grave">grave</span>”就不能简单得从字面翻译。</p><p><span word="Reader">Reader</span> <span word="question">question</span>: <span word="This">This</span> – <span word="Take">Take</span> <span
