The user requests a strict translation of Chinese text to English, with specific requirements: preserve proper nouns and technical terms, maintain original formatting, and avoid any additional commentary or prefixes. The response must be plain translated text only.

The approach is straightforward – identify all proper nouns and technical terms in the source text first, then perform a direct translation while keeping those elements unchanged. Formatting like line breaks or punctuation should mirror the original exactly.

Since the user emphasizes returning only the translated text, the response should begin immediately with the translation without any introductory phrases. The translation needs to be precise and literal, without interpretation or added explanations.

The key is to balance accuracy in translation with strict adherence to the preservation requirements for specialized terms and formatting. Any uncertainty about specific terms would require verification rather than guessing.
