In response to the common question of whether machine translation will replace human translation,Lin Chaolunalso expressed his views. He pointed out that with the development of the times, human beings' views on translation and many other issues will become variables in the long river of time. Therefore, from our current perspective, we cannot directly draw a conclusion on whether machine translation will replace human translation. He said that in order to deal with the impact of machine translation on human translation, it is necessary to improve the quality of translators, "do a good job in the human part", and establish and consolidate the advantages of human translation over machine translation.
After the symposium, alumnus Lin Chaolun was interviewed by reporters.

After the visit, then Prime Minister Tony Blair praised Lam Chaolun's alumni and said that his voice was his, which greatly encouraged Lam Chaolun. He concluded from this incident that as an interpreter, he should not only convey content but also convey emotions, which made important accumulation for the improvement of his own interpretation system. Lin Chaolun made suggestions for students studying translation. He pointed out that translation is not just a rigid conversion between language codes, but an art that needs to be closely integrated with life. Finally, Lin Chaolun said that he was excited and gratified to see China achieve leapfrog development in these years, and he had high hopes for the bright future of the motherland. He hoped that the students of the University of w88 and Economic Cooperation could work hard, not forget their original aspirations, keep their mission in mind, shoulder the historical responsibility of realizing national rejuvenation, bring glory to their alma mater, and contribute to the motherland.
