def METHOD_NAME(string):
  r"""Tokenize a string following the official BLEU implementation.
  See https://github.com/moses-smt/mosesdecoder/'
           'blob/master/scripts/generic/mteval-v14.pl#L954-L983
  In our case, the input string is expected to be just one line
  and no HTML entities de-escaping is needed.
  So we just tokenize on punctuation and symbols,
  except when a punctuation is preceded and followed by a digit
  (e.g. a comma/dot as a thousand/decimal separator).
  Note that a numer (e.g. a year) followed by a dot at the end of sentence
  is NOT tokenized,
  i.e. the dot stays with the number because `s/(\p{P})(\P{N})/ $1 $2/g`
  does not match this case (unless we add a space after each sentence).
  However, this error is already in the original mteval-v14.pl
  and we want to be consistent with it.
  Args:
    string: the input string
  Returns:
    a list of tokens
