32、 says Sheila Castilho of the ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University,  Ireland. "That's pretty new and different. But it's hard to know if the AI does a right translation work." says Castilho. "The users may not know the other language,  so they cannot judge the corre

33、ctness of the translation." （1）What's Angela Fan's purpose of doing the research？_A. To collect data of all kinds of people.B. To make learning different languages easier.C. To achieve her dream of becoming a translator.D. To avoid using English as a middle man in translation. （2）Why is
