The following pieces are from the social media feeds of China News Broadcast (新闻联播), which holds a compulsory broadcasting time from 7 PM on all medium-to-high channels. The Malicious Translator uses a word-to-word translation to expand the meaningfulness of news and explore: What is news? What is a vicious heart to reproduce news without authorisation? What have interpreters become in a post-humanist society?
The malicious translator follows some rules:
- The translation is strictly word-to-word, however:
- Homographs are preferred
- Quantifiers such as “the,” “a,” “an,” “some” can be used to specify the quantity of nouns without context.
- The order of adverbs and adjectives can be reversed with the verbs and nominals.

[Google Translator]
The party’s target, 18, is enormous for the coming.
The river tenderly looks for notice, learns to be close
to the ordinary and always writes and takes notes.
The silk draws a really magnificent wide blue picture.
The wielded labours write copies of classics, salvages and cockroaches.
Numerous lives are rich and their rings and houses are beautiful.
The deities of the land assemble and
tattoo the god, the laws, the measures, the high goals and the new times to replace the river,
gently declaring and exhibiting new poems and patterns.
[Malicious Translator]
党的目标，十八，对要来的来说太庞大了。
江河温柔地寻觅注视、学会亲近
平凡、并一直书写与记录。
丝绸勾勒出一幅宽广壮丽的蓝色图画。
被调动的劳工抄写经典、残骸与蟑螂。
无数生命富足，他们的指环与屋舍皆美。
大地的神祇集结，
为神明、律法、尺度、宏愿与新时代刻上纹身，以取代江河，
温柔地宣告并展现新的诗篇与图案。
