自動翻訳の精度とか

私的な教材に出来ないかなと思って、久しぶりに翻訳サイトに掛けてみたのですが、今は歌詞でもちょっと整形してやるとほぼ意味が通じる日本語になって出てくるのですね。

やったことは、

(1) 適切に改行を取っ払う、または挿入する。

(2) ピリオドとカンマを適当に挿入。

(3) 省略形(短縮形)を省略しない形に戻す。

(4) 文頭以外は大文字にしない。

(5) (原文の意味を損なうわけですが、) 部分的に複数形を単数形にする。

だけです。

以前は文意に沿って英文に手を入れたりしたもんですが、ほぼ機械的に作業出来るようになった気がします。

いやまあ、まだまだ入力空間に依存するんでしょうけれど、↓この例ではたまたま出来ちゃったと。

In my imagination

There is no complication

I dream about you all the time

In my mind, a celebration

The sweetest of sensation

Thinking you could be mine
In my imagination

There is no hesitation

We walk together hand in hand
I'm dreaming

You fell in love with me

Like I'm in love with you

But dreaming's all I do

If only they'd come true
I should be so lucky

Lucky, lucky, lucky

I should be so lucky in love
I should be so lucky

Lucky, lucky, lucky

I should be so lucky in love
It's a crazy situation

You always keep me waiting

Because it's only make believe

And I would come a-running

To give you all my loving

If one day you would notice me

My heart is close to breaking

And I can't go on faking

The fantasy that you'll be mine
I'm dreaming

You fell in love with me

Like I'm in love with you

But dreaming's all I do

If only they'd come true
I should be so lucky

Lucky, lucky, lucky

I should be so lucky in love
I should be so lucky(so lucky, so lucky)

I should be so lucky I, I(I, I)

I should be so lucky(so lucky, so lucky)

I should be so lucky

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
In my imagination

There is no hesitation

We walk together hand in hand
I'm dreaming

You fell in love with me

Like I'm in love with you

But dreaming's all I do

If only they'd come true
I should be so lucky

Lucky, lucky, lucky

I should be so lucky in love
