Chapter 243: Translation Talents
On Monday morning, Duan Yun was called into the office by the secretary as soon as he arrived at the unit.
However, what is different from before is that after coming to the secretary's office today, Zhao Dongsheng was quite polite to him, and even got up and brought him a cup of tea, which made Duan Yun feel a little flattered.
In fact, since Duan Yun was admitted to the night university, not only the secretary, but also other people in the factory began to look at him differently, although he was only a small technician in the technical department, but many people in the agency would take the initiative to greet him after seeing him.
The thing is obvious, the university degree is destined for Duan Yun to have a foundation for success in the future, and the technician is just an excessive position for him.
"Secretary, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Seeing Zhao Dongsheng handing over the brewed tea, Duan Yun hurriedly got up and took it.
"Xiao Duan, are you still comfortable working in the technical department recently?" Zhao Dongsheng asked with a smile.
"I can still adapt to it, but it's just too leisurely. Duan Yun pouted and said.
"Hehe, it's good that you can't be idle and refuse to mess around. Zhao Dongsheng smiled when he heard this, and said: "In fact, there are many ways to work in the agency, and some work is really leisurely, but if it takes a long time, it is easy to make people waste......
"Secretary, you're right. Duan Yun nodded, and then said: "People have been comfortable for a long time, and it is indeed easy for people to become lazy, but I am not idle, I already have a preliminary design plan for the new technical transformation project, and it will not take long for me to complete it all." ”
Duan Yun knew that Zhao Dongsheng actually wanted to remind himself that he should not forget to study the matter of new technological transformation.
Although Duan Yun is now admitted to university, his situation in the factory has changed a lot, but he also knows that he is still only a student in the night college at school, and before the academic qualifications are really obtained, Zhao Dongsheng is still his biggest backer, and Zhao Dongsheng has always been very good to him.
"Well, it's good that you know what you have to do, in fact, I remind you occasionally, and it's also for your future future. Hearing this, Zhao Dongsheng nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Have you been busy with your repair business recently?"
"It's ok. Duan Yun replied and asked in surprise: "Secretary, how did you know that I was doing repairs......
"Hehe, the factory is so big, besides, you are now a celebrity in the factory, many pairs of eyes are looking at you, someone has told me about you before......"
"What did you say about me?" Duan Yun asked.
"You don't have to be nervous, they just say that you have high skills in repairing electrical appliances and are a talent, this is not speculation, I won't care about you like this. Zhao Dongsheng paused, and then said: "I just want to be afraid that you will delay the business......
Obviously, Zhao Dongsheng has never taken Duan Yun's electrical repair business seriously, there are many people in the factory who do private work outside and do small business, but the work in the factory is the right thing, and you can't lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, which is also what Zhao Dongsheng wants Duan Yun to understand.
It's just that what Zhao Dongsheng didn't expect was that Duan Yun was now the 'richest man' in the whole factory, and his net worth had exceeded 60,000!
"Secretary Zhao, don't worry, I know it in my heart. Duan Yun responded.
"Well, I know that you kid has a high level of understanding, and I didn't misunderstand you at the beginning. Zhao Dongsheng sat back at his desk and said, "There is a meeting of the Light Industry Bureau in the afternoon, you can come with me." ”
"You asked me to attend a meeting in the bureau?" Duan Yun was taken aback when he heard this.
At the last National Day Model Worker Commendation Meeting, Duan Yun met Ruiyang, the director of the Municipal Light Industry Bureau, and he also went to the workshop to check the lathe he had modified.
But Duan Yun never took the leader's polite words on the table seriously, so after hearing that he was going to participate in the meeting of the bureau himself this time, Duan Yun was still a little surprised.
"This is the request of Director Rui, let our factory and brother units bring the staff and cadres with English expertise to the city bureau for a meeting in the afternoon, saying that there is a task to be handed over to you, I consider that you can be admitted to the night university, there must be no problem in English, so I talked to the factory director and decided to take you and Cheng Qingyan to the meeting. ”
"That's right. Duan Yun nodded when he heard this, and said, "Aren't Deputy Director Yu and Chief Engineer Cheng of our factory also college students, they will also attend the meeting, right?"
"Their stubble college students don't have a good level of English, and they mainly study Russian. Zhao Dongsheng said.
"Uh. When Duan Yun heard this, he suddenly realized.
In the first half of the 50s of the 20th century, English was considered an "imperialist language", and a situation of "one-sidedness" towards Russian was formed in the country. The Institute of Russian Language occupies the entire East Courtyard of the Beijing Foreign Chinese Institute, while English is included in the ranks of "minor languages".
The reason why I chose to major in Russian was related to the general environment at that time.
The Comintern at that time was in Moscow, there were 12 socialist countries in the world, and the USSR was the big brother.
In the 60s, the Soviet Union provided all-round assistance to China, factories and villages were full of Soviets, and ordinary Chinese and Soviet citizens had people-to-people exchanges.
The most important thing is that the industrial technology of that year was provided by the Soviet Union, and the standards were also Soviet standards, so no matter from the perspective of the international environment in China at that time and the needs of domestic technical jobs, it was a matter of course to use Russian as the first foreign language.
It was not until 1964 that the Ministry of Education listed English as the first foreign language in the form of a "red-headed document", and then the country entered a decade-long era of turmoil, so that in the early eighties of the country, there was an extreme shortage of English translation talents, and even an ordinary prefecture-level city could not find a few high-level translation talents!
"How is your English?" Zhao Dongsheng asked Duan Yun.
"Average. Duan Yun replied very simply.
In fact, when Duan Yun was in his previous life, his English level was still good, and he had already passed level 6, and during his doctoral studies, Duan Yun also translated and checked a lot of foreign language materials in order to write his dissertation, and he also communicated often with foreign students at the same school, so there was no problem in speaking.
"Hmm. Zhao Dongsheng nodded and said: "I guess this time the bureau may need some people who understand English to translate something, if you feel that you are not capable, don't slap your face and become fat, in case there is a mistake in the translation work, then you have to be responsible!"
Zhao Dongsheng obviously felt that Duan Yun's English level would not be very high, so he gave Duan Yun some warnings in advance, so that he could act at the opportunity......
