Why are many translations in SCP Chinese station not smooth?

It may be related to the "tone" and writing style of the foundation. You can see the history of the universe (that is, the history of the Foundation's website) in official website, China. Shortly after the creation of the SCP series mentioned above, the founders gradually began to define the writing style of the foundation as rigorous and gloomy. Chinese translation may be affected by this. Therefore, the so-called "great translators" who are active in official website and forums are used to translating the original text word for word according to English grammar knowledge, regardless of the true meaning of the whole paragraph or even the whole article, and whether the translation conforms to Chinese expression habits. These translators have achieved faithfulness and elegance, but they have never achieved harmony and elegance, and they seem to disdain it.

In fact, there is a conflict between literary creation and the so-called rigorous scientific expression, which makes it difficult to write a good SCP document if you want to balance science and art. However, due to the characteristics of SCP's style itself, it is understandable to pursue rigor. But to be honest, if you do this in translation, copy the original word by word without trying to make the sentences smooth, and think that this is "trying to restore the original intention", it will be a joke.

Nobody wants to say anything. I forgot he was here. But then he left. Just left. I don't remember him. No one wants to say anything "because of the danger of SCP-239 awakening and termination. In view of the danger when SCP-239 wakes up and its ability to resist execution. " ; " Although no one has ever seen it move, no matter how it is recorded or how many, any room where it is located will become very clean and polished as much as possible. Although no records of any method or quantity show that SCP-050 has moved, the room where SCP-050 is placed will become as clean and tidy as possible. "
