In recent years, with the improvement of machine translation technology, more and more people believe that human translation will lose its living space in the future. Various translation software including Netease youdao, Microsoft Bing, Google translation, Iflytek translation and others emerge in an endless stream, involving more and more languages, which not only improves the accuracy of translation but also arouses concerns about the development prospect of human translation among practitioners. Through studying the language environment of the countries along the route in the context of the One Belt and Road initiative, this paper aims to discuss the future of machine translation and human translation, and focuses on the embodiment of human factors in machine translation, then points out that there are no irreconcilable contradictions between machine translation and human translation, but they complement each other, i. e. the correct combination of these two types of translation will ensure reliable AI translation in the future.
