Python USES Google translate of with voice at the command line

instructions

1. Use Google translation service for translation and voice;
2. Use mplayer to play the acquired sound file, so if you want to play the voice, make sure the mplayer program is found in the PATH. If you do not have mplayer, set use_tts to False to run. That is:
The main (use_tts = False)
3. Exit the program, type "x" and press enter.
