Word-by-word translation is often unsuccessful, because the composition, expression, established sayings, quotations from historical legends and unique customs of different languages will affect various expressions in the language.
The highest level of translation must know the history, customs and cultural habits of the country you want to translate, not just some words you know.

John hancock expressed his signature. This usage is due to historical allusions. John hancock is a person's name. His signature on the Declaration of Independence is very eye-catching and the handwriting is very big, so later generations use his name to express his autograph.
English translation is a language activity that accurately and completely expresses English meaning and one's own thoughts in Chinese. The process of English translation is the whole process of correctly understanding the original text, and then expressing the original English text in Chinese. Translators who have not reached CET-8 or worked for more than five years will think that English translation is easier than Chinese translation. I don't like doing Chinese-English manuscripts because I'm not from an English class and my basic skills are not deep enough. Generally, interpreters like this are not English majors, but most of them are above CET-6 or familiar with three or five majors. Of course, it is not impossible to translate CET-6 into Chinese-English unless CET-6 translators have studied abroad for several years and are English majors during their study abroad. In this way, he can make up for the shortage of English major in college.
