So I tried to re-tell the story in a way more kind of 'human' to make everything clearer for Chinese reader.

Hi Ran,

I don't think you describe correctly for your new translation. And you are not 're-tell story'
for a standard community co-work process, which we don't need. Also the original translation is
not by machine, it's by myself.

What you did right is polishing the Chinese words, make it more fluency and fit better for Chinese
custom, although it costs a bit verboseness and a bit precision.


Thanks
Alex
