Constraints

Prerequisites: access to DeepSeek web app or API. Input format: plain text (Chinese or English). Cost: unknown; depends on current DeepSeek pricing or free-tier limits. Boundary: non-Chinese content will also receive a Chinese translation; the model auto-detects source language and outputs the target translation.

What they did

DeepSeek published an official 'Chinese-English Translation Expert' template in its prompt library, consisting of a system prompt that defines the translator role and the 'faithfulness, fluency, elegance' standard, plus a user example (Chinese text of Newton's First Law) and the corresponding English translation.

How it went

The official example shows that, given a Chinese physics text, the model produced a faithful, fluent, and well-phrased English translation (author_report). This site has not independently verified the output.

Worth knowing

The source does not specify which model version (e.g., deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner) was used; results may vary by version. Cost and free-tier conditions are not stated. Non-Chinese content is also translated into Chinese, but the source does not demonstrate non-English/non-Chinese test cases. The system prompt uses '它' to refer to the assistant; you may optionally refine pronoun consistency when adopting it (editorial suggestion, not from the original source).

Steps

    牛顿第一定律:任何一个物体总是保持静止状态或者匀速直线运动状态,直到有作用在它上面的外力迫使它改变这种状态为止。 如果作用在物体上的合力为零,则物体保持匀速直线运动。 即物体的速度保持不变且加速度为零。
