FAQ：
1. 在中文沟通语境中，很容易省略宾语，那省略掉的宾语是否需要翻译？
比如，source 是“约带看”，其省略了宾语，完整的意思应该为：“约（客人）带（他）看（房）”，翻译过程中是否可以把缺失的宾语补足翻译出来？
Answer：如果 source 缩略太严重，则标为 source error

2. 一些行业术语，按照其字面意思直译是完全没有意义的，是否可以意译？
比如，source 是“满五唯一”，其含义是：房产证满 5 年并且是唯一住房，是否可以按照其含义翻译，即意译？
Answer：行业术语，可以意译

3. 像 Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil， Melaleuca Alternifolia 是学名，Tea Tree 是俗名，其实都是一个意思，这个时候该怎么处理？
Answer：翻成 “茶树（茶树）”

4. 无意义的重复，是需要每个字都翻译，还是翻译一次即可？
Answer: 建议还是每个字都要翻译。
Source: 好好好好好
Target: good good good good good

5.中文音译词，该如何翻译？
Answer: 直接丢弃

6.表情、非文字内容（下划线）等是否需要保留？若 MT 没有下划线，CAT 可能系统不支持添加下划线，是否可以删除？
