LOL. I first translated the entire page page via the URL and it worked but left much to be desired. Then I translated one paragraph at a time and it worked much better on the translation.

OK, that's what I did. There's always the syntax and the idiomatic expressions.

Not to pick on the Chinese specifically, but a couple of friends of mine from Chengdu used to need extra help with expressions and slang during their first year or two here - as with any ESLs.

They watched countless hours of American TV and in a year I was asking them what certain English expressions and jokes meant.
