最近翻了几篇新冠肺炎论文，让我再次思考AI取代人工翻译的话题。在羊君看来，人类的语言水平会是 AI 让人工翻译下岗的最大障碍。
先不说机器翻译在语言学习等方面遇到的技术问题，其服务对象本身就常常挖坑。中文是形散的语言，很多时候逻辑隐含在意思中，加上很多人的语言水平不够好，句子语病较多，逻辑比较涣散，标点符号使用不规范，机器就比较难作出正确处理。
下面的4段话都出自同一篇论文，已经做了隐私保护处理。这篇论文真的很难翻，主要是因为语言表达水平不够好，翻译要花额外时间来理解原文，并且要想办法在英语行文中将原文逻辑合理化。
1.回顾性分析2019年12月至2020年2月中国远东大学附属高山医院接受ECMO联合支持治疗的病例资料，包括年龄、性别、临床症状、首发症状、既往史和并发症情况等，入院时与ECMO联合治疗时的炎症指标的变化，包括红细胞计数、白细胞计数和炎症因子。
分析：原文写作主要问题在于并列层级比较多，句子很长，而且没有使用合适的关联词来明示这种并列关系，机器翻译已经逻辑混乱了。

A Retrospective analysis of the case data of patients receiving ECMO combined support treatment from December 2019 to February 2020 in the Alpine Hospital of the Far East University of China, including age, gender, clinical symptoms, first symptoms, past history, and complications Changes in inflammatory indicators during combination therapy, including red blood cell counts, white blood cell counts, and inflammatory factors.

From December 2019 to February 2020, the data of patients who received ECMO combined support treatment in Alpine Hospital Affiliated to Far East University of China were analyzed retrospectively, including age, gender, clinical symptoms, first symptom, past historyand complications. The changes of inflammatory indicators in the combination treatment with ECMO at admission, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count and inflammatory factors.
2.肺炎患者的严重程度与病毒和机体的炎症反应强度相关，如出现过度炎症反应，可能导致严重后果甚至死亡。
分析：原文的问题在于“病毒和机体的炎症反应强度”容易引起误解，其字面可以作两种理解：一是病毒+机体炎症反应；二是机体对病毒的炎症反应。从后面“如出现过度炎症反应”来看，应该是第二种理解。但是机器只能从字面上进行“理解”，所以基本都翻译错误。

The severity of patients with pneumonia is related tothe intensity of the inflammatory response of the virus and the body. If an excessive inflammatory reaction occurs, it may lead to serious consequences and even death.

3.该技术具有更好的心血管耐受性和代谢调控、血浆渗透压的变化较恒定、校正酸碱及电解质紊乱，从而促进实现了炎症介质清除。
分析：原文的问题在于三个并列项的表达结构并不一致，第一个并列项是“形容词+名词”，第二个并列项是“名词+形容词”，第三个并列项是“动词+名词”。这就导致机器翻译的结果也出现同样的不一致，甚至错误。

4.本次在监护过程中的观察和管理，应用医疗团队模式，取得较好效果。这可能与该技术应用时监护的指标繁多复杂、护士容易出现疏漏有关，将有助于护士连续观察记录病情，医护相互反馈及时处理问题。
分析：原文的问题在于句子明显逻辑错误，机器翻译直接顺下来逻辑自然也是错误的。这里就需要人工翻译进行必要调整，将原文的逻辑合理化。
