Dr. Victor Mair at Language Log has a nice piece on how Google Translate became the de facto tool for anyone wants to communicate in a foreign language. Even though in some cases, translation it provided are incorrect.
This young man holding the sign at "Occupy Wall Street", probably wanted "No More Corruption". However, Google Translate gave him "There isn't any more corruption."
By the way, why is he holding a sign written in Chinese?!
Has this naive young man ever done business in China?
How about 關係, 後門, and 紅包?
