今後の翻訳業界について
今後の翻訳業界はどうなる？《第216章》
■翻訳家N氏：インターネット環境の普及、技術の発展により機械翻訳の精度も上がりつつあり、利用者も増えている。 翻訳者は、人為的ミスをなくし、人間の頭脳が機械に負けることのないよう、常に言語感覚を磨く必要があり、 また、翻訳業界は激しい価格競争がさらに厳しくなることが予想されるが、安易な翻訳単価の引き下げは、翻訳の質を下げることにつながり、 人による翻訳のメリットを薄れさせることにつながるため、人の頭脳でしか行えない、質の高い翻訳を心がける必要があると思います。

You should memorize the full sentence and then change the small details. In this way, you can learn how to speak naturally.
