I found a historical regression in the past translation of Chinese.

[Tao Wang]

I compared my translation of zh_CN and Roy Luo's translation, which is
the last version before the regression. I found some translation bugs
which Roy fixed, but I missed. So, I fixed them, and do one more time
review, fixed several other mistakes.

I send it here, please help me commit it into trunk, thanks.
