Dear Yong Peng and group,

Perhaps, but in that case it would be a job for a native speaker (and one gifted at writing literature at that). The amount of effort a non-native speaker would need to spend to accomplish those sorts of hyper-clever translations goes beyond the point of diminishing returns. I'm not saying it can't be done (at least some of the time) but it's a lot of effort for little real benefit.

best regards,
