SB, what I find interesting and sometimes amusing about these is how the web-translator handles them:

"she grew up after the librarians have also engaged in the work. Although Alice is a democratic party, but she fell in love with the doors of the Republican Party from prominent families of Columbia debauchery son Charlie"

That one made me go after more coffee...

Yes, everyone is puzzled.
I'd like to read a book from you.
Thanks all who tolerate my B-English. Who do I should blame: Mao? Chinese?Confucius? Myself?...

No no, SB, I did not mean my post as any sort of affront to you or to the Chinese. Your English and grammar are fine.

I was amused by how the internet translators take one language and translate it so poorly into another language. The technology just hasn't reached that level of sophistication yet. :P

Xingbang more difficult for us it not the case.
My translation:"Much disdress regenerates a nation", isn't this saying suitable for us too?

No more confusion:

Pablo Picasso joined the French Communist Party

...in 1950 received the Stalin Peace Prize from the Soviet government.[10] But party criticism of a portrait of Stalin as insufficiently realistic cooled Picasso
