Chapter 50: The Call of the Ancients
Wu Zhongyuan's excitement aroused Wang Jize's curiosity, and he hurriedly came over, "What is written, show me." ”
"It's really not a love letter. Wu Zhongyuan handed the two pieces of paper to Wang Jize, Wang Jize's actions showed that he really hadn't peeked at them before, and such a sincere person couldn't make him wonder.
Wang Jize took the two pieces of paper and read them eagerly, but soon he found that he couldn't read them, "What the hell is this?"
"Some ancient stone tablets rubbed down the text. Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
"Oh. Wang Jize believed it, put the two pieces of paper back with interest, and went back to his bed to tinker with the tablet.
Wu Zhongyuan was very excited, very eager, and even didn't have time to wait for the lights out in the dormitory to start sorting out, the first thing to do was to verify each other, and some of the words he gave to Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying were repeated, and if the results of the translation of this part of the duplicate text were the same, it meant that both sides were not deceived and faked.
Wu Zhongyuan was very satisfied with the results of the comparison, but he was also very worried, because for these words, the results of the two translations were roughly similar. The concern is that there are many minor discrepancies in the translation of the same text between the two sides, and this discrepancy is not due to the deliberate work of one party, but to academic differences.
The ancient script is different from the current script, the number of ancient characters is small, and the expression needs to combine the environment and social structure of the time, as well as the relationship between each other and many other factors, this situation is like the current "roll", if it is said for the same sex, supplemented by a stern tone, it represents anger. If it is said to the opposite sex, supplemented by a coquettish tone, it represents shyness and joy.
This characteristic of ancient characters makes it difficult to achieve accurate translation, and the direct consequence of this is that it is impossible to accurately interpret these words written by Wu Chai, and these words written by Wu Chai are crucial clues, and any discrepancies and misunderstandings may cause half the effort, or even the opposite direction.
However, fortunately, these words written by Wu Chai are all sentences, and some words can be combined with the words before and after or before and after the sentences for comprehensive interpretation, which can reduce the interpretation error to a certain extent, but correspondingly, it will also increase the difficulty and time of interpretation.
The translation results given by the two are single and disordered words, and if you want to interpret them, you need to arrange and restore them in the order of the original text, which has more than 900 words, and each text needs to be selected one by one from more than 200 words, and the progress is very slow.
However, at this time, any progress is the essence of advancement, half an hour later, the first sentence written by Wu Chai was interpreted, which can only be roughly interpreted, and cannot be very precise, which roughly means, 'I can't hold on for long, and I also know that you can't understand the language of your hometown, so I can only write down the news and leave it for you to interpret slowly later.' ’
There are more than 40 modern characters in this passage, but Wu Chai's original text is only a dozen words, which is also the difference between ancient languages and modern languages.
Seeing that there was substantial progress, Wu Zhongyuan was eager to continue sorting it out, but he couldn't help it, Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying both knew that the words that they translated for him were what Wu Chai said to him, and they both knew that these words contained clues to his return, and they could even guess that he must be eager to sort out and interpret at the moment, and even guessed that he might not go to class tomorrow, or even if he went to class, he looked like he was sleep deprived.
You can't let them guess what they want to do, you have to make them wonder, or they will probably take further action.
After taking pictures of Wang Xinran's two pieces of paper, Wu Zhongyuan pulled the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep, and had to continue class the next day.
He went to the classroom late, deliberately late, so that Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying were both there when he went to the classroom.
When he went to the classroom, the two of them were indeed there, still where they were sitting before, and when they saw him come in, Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying tilted their heads to look at him at the same time, to be exact, to see the expression on his face.
Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Zhao Ying, his eyes were more friendly, but when he looked at Wang Xinran, his eyes were not so friendly.
The change in his eyes, both of them keenly noticed, Zhao Ying frowned and looked at Wang Xinran, while Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan suspiciously.
Wu Zhongyuan sat down from his seat, took the books out, and then took out the two pieces of paper that Wang Xinran had sent over last night and threw them to Wang Xinran.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's bad attitude, Wang Xinran was puzzled and dissatisfied, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan's tone was very cold, "Who are you above?, why do you always like to be smart?"
Wang Xinran didn't know what to do, and his tone was no longer tough, "What's wrong?"
"I can tell if it's true or not. Wu Zhongyuan's face was expressionless.
Wang Xinran was stunned, Wu Zhongyuan's meaning was obvious, there was a problem with the translation result they gave again, because there had been a problem before, she didn't dare to guarantee that the translation result given above this time must be true.
When he came back to his senses, Wang Xinran asked in a low voice, "Are you mistaken?" There should be no problem this time, the text at that time could not be translated 100%, you don't have to be suspicious of your neighbors." ”
"I wish I had been a suspicious neighbor of Tomoko. Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
"Don't worry, wait for me to confirm. Wang said happily.
Wu Zhongyuan did not respond.
"I'd rather be a real villain than a hypocrite. Zhao Ying sneered disdainfully.
Wang Xinran couldn't hear Zhao Ying mocking her, she was much more spicy than Zhao Ying, and immediately fought back, "Shut your dog's mouth." ”
"Hmph. Zhao Ying tilted her head to the side and replied, "Bichi." ”
"You stinky. Wang stood up happily.
"Let them show some sincerity. Wu Zhongyuan said.
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan opened his mouth, the two couldn't quarrel, Wang Xinran sat back in his seat angrily, and Zhao Ying sneered disdainfully.
After that, it was a normal class, Wu Zhongyuan didn't do anything, just went to class, and when he encountered a course he was interested in, he listened attentively, and when he was not interested, he was stunned.
However, whether he was listening attentively or being stunned, he pretended to do it, the purpose was naturally to confuse Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying, including those actions before his class, but also to confuse the two, so that the two of them mistakenly thought that his translation and sorting could not be carried out for the time being.
After class in the evening, he didn't go back to the dormitory immediately, but went out to buy some fruit, in fact, he wanted to go back to the dormitory immediately, but he couldn't let the two of them see his eagerness.
When I returned to the dormitory, I immediately continued to tidy up, without distractions, with full attention, and the speed of progress was fast, and the translations appeared one by one, which roughly means' Your father is our Great Wu, your mother is the great nobleman of the Li Clan, because of you, we have encountered a great disaster, all the Wu of our clan have been killed in battle, you are the only one who has the blood of Wu, you are the last hope, we think that you can also enter the palace of your own clan, receive the guidance of your ancestors, and obtain the great power of your clan, if you cannot enter our palace, our remaining wizards and warriors will take you to find the lost temple and help you meet the noble dragon, I hope you can obtain the power of the great dragon. ’
After translating the content of the first three pages, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, Wu Zhongyuan paused the translation, closed his eyes and sorted out the clues in his mind.
Although the translation is not very smooth, the general meaning is out, some of the content is roughly consistent with what he guessed before, but there are some things that he didn't think of before, his father is a tribal king, Wu should be the meaning of the king, and the big Wu is the king. Her mother is a great nobleman of the Li tribe, and the Li tribe should be a Chiyou clan, and the great nobleman is a specific title in ancient times, which may be a princess or a saint.
The union of father and mother should not be recognized by the two clans, and the reason why the father's tribe suffered a disaster was also because of him, in addition to him, there should be some Xiao Wu in the father's tribe, that is, Xiao Wang, these people may be his uncle or his brother, in short, these people died in the battle.
Now he is the only person who can enter the palace of his own clan, and the reason why he says it is possible is because he is a descendant of a mixed race of the two clans, not as pure as the other Wu bloodlines.
If he can enter the palace of his own clan, he can get the help and guidance of the dead ancestors of his clan, and obtain the huge power exclusive to his clan. If he can't enter his own palace because his blood is not pure enough, the remaining wizards and warriors of the clan will lead him to find the temple where no one knows where it is, and help him meet the dragon and gain its power. In ancient writing, Yamato God is the same word, and as for how to understand it, it needs to be coherent and preceding sentences.
The next day, I went to class as usual, ate as usual, studied on my own as usual, and went back in the evening to continue translating and sorting.
There is no punctuation between ancient texts, small paragraphs Wu Chai will use a large gap to separate, large paragraphs are directly pagination, at nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Zhongyuan translated the content of the fourth and fifth pages, roughly meaning 'We have been looking for you, but we don't know where you are, I didn't expect me to find you, I'm very happy, but unfortunately I'm about to die, I can't take you to find and wake up the wizard, I write down the place where the wizard sleeps and the method of awakening him, you go to find him, he will help you go back......
