I had the impression that this piece was translated into English by someone who was not good at English

Then your impression leaves much to be desired. Of course, it could have been translated into a level of English higher than you usually read. Aside from a couple of problems with commas, it was excellent English, far better than what is seen in most of the comments of posters on the various FR threads.

Okay, I see the “bared” instead of “bore” and the “has” for activities instead of “have”. Still, though, compared to many atrocious translations from Chinese to English I have read, as well as English written by Chinese over here in the U.S., a recent example being from that little moron working as a Fox intern, this is pretty good. And it’s still better than what passes for English from a lot of posters here on FR.
