清明小长假已经悄悄过去，在你极不情愿意气风发登上返程火车时，一位外国友人问你："Why so many people in the train station recently?"

此刻你如果想快速和TA解释清楚，应该是打开一个机器翻译引擎翻译出你想说的话。可是，哪家机翻引擎的中译英机翻效果最好呢？

上一期我们进行英译中机翻测评后，已经有朋友提出希望看看机器引擎中译英的效果：“如果机器引擎可以高效高质地完成中译英任务，那么我们优质的文学、影视作品和中国文化就可以更加轻松地走出国门了。” 那么本周就让我们一起测评现今主流的翻译引擎在中译英语向上的表现吧。

注：机器翻译结果会受到输入的原文长度、文字质量（如意思表达不明）、语料库的选用等因素的影响。考虑到机器翻译引擎的迭代，不同的测试时间也会影响机器翻译结果。

本次测评仅供探究、学习，因此不公布具体机器翻译引擎产品名称。由于篇幅有限，本期我们仅分析友商A和火山翻译的中译英情况。
