I guess the translation software you're using isn't good enough at translating Chinese. In ancient China, “亡賴” means a child is naughty and mischievous.

    Well, than it is a good idea you write in English like we all (might give translation errors as well) but English is the language of the community. Welcome again.

      Thank you for your suggestion. As a matter of fact, it is very difficult to translate ancient Chinese poems into English, because it would lose the core feature of the poems: rhyming.
      Famous Chinese writer: Mr. Lin Yutang, who once worked very hard to translate some Chinese literature in English, which is already the ceiling for translators.

        I am afraid that if it comes to translating it always loses a part of it's meaning unless the one who reads it can read between the lines. It will happen with every language also because one language has way more words to express feeling.

          I agree with your statement about switching between different languages. Translating a language can have two results at the same time: it expresses the basic meaning of the discourse, and it also loses the other meaning that is implied in the native language.
