'Hamilton' Had Some Unscripted Lines for Pence. Trump Wasn't Happy.

By CHRISTOPHER MELE and PATRICK HEALY

Mike Pence attended the musical Friday, and an actor delivered a statement to the vice president-elect, drawing a sharp rebuke from Donald Trump.
Google Translate :
“漢密爾頓”有一些不成行的便士。 特朗普不快樂。
作者:CHRISTOPHER MELE和PATRICK HEALY
邁克·波斯參加了音樂週五,一個演員向副總統當選者發表了一個聲明,從唐納德·特朗普大肆渲染。

hc評:機械翻譯不懂得Pence和Mike Pence是同一人,美國副總統當選人。
"unscripted line" 是原(音樂)劇中沒有的戲文,演員臨時加進的。

High in Tower, Trump Reads, Tweets and Plans

By ASHLEY PARKER and MAGGIE HABERMAN

As Donald J. Trump goes about his routine - schmoozing, tweeting, rewarding loyalty, fomenting infighting - it doesn't appear the gravity of the presidency is changing him.

Google Translate
高在塔,特朗普讀,推文和計劃作者:ASHLEY PARKER和MAGGIE HABERMAN正如唐納德·傑克特(Donald J. Trump)談到他的例行:schmoozing,tweeting,獎勵忠誠,煽動內心 - 總統的嚴重性不會改變他。
hc 評:機械翻譯的資料庫很有"更新"的缺點。
先不談整段、整句的"通",Trump (人名)的翻譯,很怪;schmoozing,tweeting 都搞不懂

Oxford Dictionaries:

Pronunciation: /ʃmuːz/ 

chiefly North American VERB
