I sometimes plug short essays I have written into Google Translate with a result that is somewhere between scary and hilarious. I'm glad to know professionally produced Chinese comes out similarly.

I thought that in traditional opera, all parts were played by males. My mind has been poisoned by 《Farewell, My Concubine 》it seems.

目前为止纳米组成的新物质好像只有销售的功能。如果纳米提高化妆的附着力,就能提高化妆的价格,普通的浆糊不行。不过作为一个书呆子我感觉有点失望。科幻书里面的纳米很厉害,不仅能治疗现在的绝症,还能组成机器虫,而一群机器虫是很恐怖的魔鬼。

This lesson makes me think of a Shaw Brothers movie <<The Killer Snakes>>.  The protagonist lived over a shop that specialized in snake dishes and 中药。He sympathized with the snakes and got them to settle some scores for him, but the end was a big battle between snakes and men.
