In this paper we have conducted the analysis of effectiveness of the system "Google Translate" in translation of such idiomatic units of English language as phrasal verbs. We have used this system to translate 1000 contexts which contain phrasal verbs, and which were taken from the CORE corpus. The translation of each context was analysed for mistakes and new meanings. All mistakes have been classified and every PV has been shown the examples of meanings from dictionaties, new meanings and mistakes. Also there have been established recommendations to improve machine translation of phrasal verbs.
