谁有长进！再测四大在线免费翻译软件

    泡泡网网络工具频道5月14日 去年笔者曾经发表过一篇关于在线免费翻译软件的对比文章，其中的软件涉及到大家常用的百度、谷歌、必应以及有道。虽然最后的对比结果是不分伯仲、各有擅长，但对于那些要翻译外文资料的学生朋友而言在线翻译软件还是很有用的。

    今天小编再对比下这四款免费在线翻译软件的准确度、专业度、通顺度，看下时过1年是否有长进。闲话少叙让我们开始吧。

    内容结构上依旧是首先界面的实用度、简洁性对比，接下来就是在经济类、新闻类、IT产品类、科普类四种国外文章的分别翻译结果对比，最后按照准确性、专业性、通顺性三者来打分对比。

百度在线翻译界面：

    界面简洁，干净，相信百度在线翻译大家都用过，翻译的准确性先不说只是界面看着还算舒服，一些小工具可有可无，不过底下朗读那个按钮还是有用的。

    与上一篇文章不同的是，这次再加入个可翻译语种的对比，可见百度可提供大致12种语言的自动检测翻译。

谷歌在线翻译：

    简洁的界面就不冗述了，主要是想说谷歌Chrome浏览器的网页翻译功能真心不错，对于经常要查阅国外网页的朋友来讲安装上它就省心了。

    可识别的翻译语种，大概有80种不知是不是将全球语言涵盖内，但真的是壮观啊！

    而且对于翻译结果你还可调整词序以及更多词意的选择。

必应在线翻译：

    同样简洁的界面，不过多了个评级工具，其他小工具与之前两款软件相同。

    可翻译的语种也比较丰富大概有50种左右，让人不得不佩服。

有道在线翻译：

    有道翻译，这款软件或许大家用的不多，但有些专业词汇的翻译还是很到位的而且提供人工付费翻译功能。不过在翻译语种来看目前仅支持6种。

    人工收费翻译是按照字数来收费的，编辑录入的这款话大概是47个单词，收费大致是21.15元，相信随着字数的增加费用会有所降低，适合那些急于找到专人翻译的用户使用。

    除了提供人工翻译外，当你选中翻译结果后有道还会快速将结果再度翻译成源文语种，为的是与源语种的内容相对比。

小结：

    论翻译软件的界面来看，都是属于简洁明了的。小工具上所实现的功能差不多就不多冗述了，而各自的特点来看，有道凭借内嵌人工翻译二级页面取胜，但在语种涵盖量上谷歌以及必应都可圈可点。

    首先是经济类，小编依旧和去年一样选择了CHINA DAILY的一篇经济类新闻。虽然很多国外朋友说CHINA DAILY也是被中文思维同化的外文报纸，但对于国内用户来讲还是有参照性的。

    BEIJING - More enterprises were registered in China in April after the country eased market access to push forward reform amid the economic slowdown, new data showed on Monday.

    北京-更多的企业在中国注册，该国四月放宽市场准入，推进改革，在经济放缓之后，星期一公布的最新数据显示。

    Around 367,200 companies were established last month, nearly 20 percent higher than that of March, data from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce said.

    大约367200家公司建立了上个月的近百分之20，高于3月，工商总局表示从数据。

    新的企业数量开始飙升3月因在该国商业登记改革。对于某些类型的企业的最低注册资本的要求被取消和年度检查是由公司年度报告取代。

点评：从上述三段翻译来看，由于语序就是直接翻译因此通顺度真心一般，准确度也勉勉强强，专业词汇来看比较一般。准确度★★、通顺度★★、专业类词汇★★

谷歌在线翻译：

    BEIJING - More enterprises were registered in China in April after the country eased market access to push forward reform amid the economic slowdown, new data showed on Monday.

    北京 - 更多的企业都在中国注册的在四月份后国内放宽市场准入，推进改革中的经济增长放缓，新的数据显示，周一。

    新企业的数量自三月开始飙升，由于在国内工商登记改革。对于某些类型的企业的最低注册资本要求已被注销，每年检验所取代公司的年度报告。

点评：从上述三段翻译来看，第一段的语序简直让人看不懂，还好第二三段的翻译还算可以接受，不过通顺度也比较一般，准确度也勉强可以，专业词汇来看一般般。准确度★★、通顺度★★、专业类词汇★★

必应在线翻译：

    BEIJING - More enterprises were registered in China in April after the country eased market access to push forward reform amid the economic slowdown, new data showed on Monday.

    北京-更多的企业在中国注册在四月后国家放宽了市场准入，推进改革，经济放缓之际，新数据显示，在上星期一。

    Around 367,200 companies were established last month, nearly 20 percent higher than that of March, data from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce said.

    约 367,200 公司建立了上个月，比 3 月，来自国家说的工商行政管理的数据高出近 20%。

    The number of new firms began to soar in March due to business registration reform in the country. Requirements on minimum registered capital for some types of businesses were canceled and yearly inspections were replaced by companies'' annual reports.

    新公司数目开始飙升 3 月由于业务登记改革的国家。对于某些类型的企业的注册资本最低限额的规定被取消了，每年巡查取而代之的是公司的年度报告。

点评：从上述翻译来看，可能是这三段太短也相互逻辑性不强，必应的翻译也不是很满意；通顺度、准确度、专业词汇来看都一般般。准确度★★、通顺度★★、专业类词汇★★

有道在线翻译：

    BEIJING - More enterprises were registered in China in April after the country eased market access to push forward reform amid the economic slowdown, new data showed on Monday.

    4月北京——更多的企业在中国注册之后,放宽市场准入,推进改革在经济放缓,新的周一数据显示。

    Around 367,200 companies were established last month, nearly 20 percent higher than that of March, data from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce said.

    约367200家公司建立了上个月,近20%高于3月,国家工商行政管理总局的数据表示。

    3月新公司的数量开始飙升由于商业登记改革。要求注册资本最低限额为某些类型的企业被取消,取而代之的是每年检查公司的年度报告。

点评：从上述翻译来看，就第一段而言大致应该是“放宽政策之后才有更多的企业注册”这样的逻辑，但上述四款软件都给出的意思是企业注册后，国家才放宽政策；因此有道翻译也不是很满意；通顺度、准确度、专业词汇来看都一般般。准确度★★、通顺度★★、专业类词汇★★

    其次是新闻类，看过上述四款在线翻译软件在经济类文章的翻译结果是不是你也觉得奔溃了，唉，让我们再来看新闻类。小编选取的是来自英国的泰晤士报里的一则社会新闻。

    Apple''s MacBook Air hasn''t been updated since its last redesign in 2010. The question is, why? Granted, Apple doesn''t march to the beat of everyone else''s drum. Still, four years is a long time to wait, especially since in that time, rival laptop manufacturers have moved through several design trends, from small, efficient netbooks, to 黚er thin ultrabooks, and now to hybrid systems that flip, pivot, or detach from their keyboard. Touch capability has also becoming standard on laptop displays, with the advent of Windows 8.

    那么，离开苹果吗？为什么世界上一个最创新的科技公司之一，其最具代表性的产品设计是冰？为什么要在MacBook Air看起来……约会吗？

    最后小编选取一篇科普类文章来比对下四款软件的翻译能力。既然是科普类就整了一篇与癌症有关的医学文章。

    Cells, which make up human tissue, form the basis of our organs. On the most basic level, cancer is the abnormal growth of some of our cells.

    细胞，使人体组织，器官的基础形式。在最基本的层面，癌症是对我们的一些细胞的异常生长。

    "Our bodies are constantly renewing themselves. What that means is that we have cells that grow and divide. Cells usually have a finite life span,” explains Len Lichtenfeld, MD, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society. “Cancer as a disease process really represents cells in our body that no longer respond to the usual growth and death signals. A cancer cell no longer responds to those signals and becomes immortal — it doesn’t die."

点评：相对第一段而言，第二段的翻译是这四款软件中翻译的比较通顺的。准确度★★通顺度★★、专业类词汇★★<

    看过上述四类文章的对比后，你是不是有些失望了，就与去年的测试结果来看差别也不大，所以大家就当其替代之前的文曲星功能吧。

    四大在线翻译横向比较的话，谁都没有绝对的优势，尽管过了1年，这四款软件依旧没有太多长进，因此用户不必纠结于用何种在线翻译软件最好，当然要说学生朋友如果短时间需要大量英文原文的翻译还是建议付费版在线翻译，那样结果的质量有所保证。最后小编再谈一下这四款在线翻译的使用感受：

1、就可翻译语种数量而言，多并非是绝对优势。

2、对于词组或者单词的翻译准确度而言，还需用户自行衡量，特别是专属名词。

3、对于文章通顺性而言，在线翻译基本都是按照语法来，因此如果你相信自己的语言表达能力也可自己组织语言。

4、当然，免费的在线翻译只能是代替你手边英汉词典的作用，因此切莫高估翻译结果也切莫低估自己的英语水平。■<
