Chapter 34 80,000-word manuscript [Ask for Recommendation Votes and Collections]
After Zhou Guyuan finished reading it, he immediately called Liang Shuying.
Tell the latter to do it in two days.
After Liang Shuying heard this, he looked at each other.
Are young people so arrogant now?
Three manuscripts, a total of 11,000 words, completed in two days?
It's not a primary school student essay, it's that simple.
This is a doctoral dissertation, although it is an excerpt of paragraphs, but it is very good to be able to read through it, and it is even more difficult to translate it.
Not to mention, it must also meet the standards of "faith, reach, and elegance".
That's even harder.
Some people, given a year, may not be able to do it.
Even many senior translators are willing to accept such manuscripts.
Because papers need to be published, if the words don't reach the meaning, it is really ridiculous and generous.
What's more, this involves very professional knowledge, and the translated manuscripts that are not in this major or related majors are not like the four differences.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Shuying sneered: Let's see.
In the next two days, Zhou Guyuan began to translate.
On the first day, the three manuscripts were briefly translated.
The next day, it was reviewed directly and scrutinized word by word.
The most difficult is to translate from Chinese to English, because it is easy to miss the words.
After all, the English vocabulary of Chinese people is generally not very good.
For Zhou Guyuan, none of this is a problem.
He is a good man who memorizes the new Oxford Advanced Dictionary, Collins Advanced Dictionary and several other books.
Although many advanced and extremely difficult words have been forgotten, it is still okay to cope with a few manuscripts.
In class, Guo Xunxin saw that he had been weird for the past two days, and he didn't speak or listen to the class, so he asked:
"Fourth, what have you been doing these two days?"
"Make money. ”
"Make money? Is it the manuscripts that you have in your hands?
"Well, do some part-time work. ”
"I'll see. ”
After reading it, the fourth elder didn't react for a long time, and finally held back a sentence:
"The third child, it's also nine years of compulsory education, why are you so awesome?!"
The manuscript he was holding in his hand was incomprehensible to many English words.
But Zhou Guyuan has already translated it skillfully.
It can be seen how hard it hit him.
Zhou Guyuan glanced at him and didn't speak.
After sorting out the three manuscripts in his hand, he sent them to Liang Shuying.
Liang Shuying over there quickly replied to him and asked him to wait for an hour.
She's going to review it.
But, in less than half an hour, her call came:
"Mr. Zhou, you won't be a master, right? Why is the quality so high?"
"Director Liang, you don't believe what you say, do you?"
"No, this translation quality is really good in a mess, it makes me feel like I've picked up a treasure..."
"That's right, so did I pass the interview?"
"If you can keep that quality all the time, that's fine. ”
"So, can we negotiate the price and settle the money at the same time?"
The corners of Zhou Guyuan's mouth curled slightly, and he directly pointed out the theme, lest she was still going around in circles.
"For the price, how about 120 thousand words based on your translation quality?"
"Director Liang, give this price, won't your conscience hurt?"
Zhou Guyuan sarcastically said without hesitation, you can't bully newcomers like this, right?
What's more, although he is a newcomer, the translated manuscript is definitely not something that a newcomer can do.
Liang Shuying's face was flushed by him, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned.
"Or 150?"
"180 thousand words, sign the contract if it doesn't work, and I'll find another company. In addition, I only sent you half of the manuscript I just sent you, and you have to settle the money for the remaining half. ”
Liang Shuying was speechless, he didn't expect this guy he had never met to be so sophisticated, and he was well versed in the unspoken rules of translation.
Since she couldn't deceive the other party, she could only say generously:
"That's okay, Mr. Zhou, we'll decide, the price of 180 thousand words, you name your Alipay account, and I'll let the finance transfer to you." ”
"Thank you boss, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
After Zhou Guyuan hung up the phone, he sent his Alipay account through email.
It didn't take long for an Alipay arrival reminder to come from the phone.
"Alipay arrived at 1980 yuan. ”
11,000 words, 180 yuan for 1,000 words, no problem.
Seeing that she was so happy to transfer money, Zhou Guyuan also sent the rest of the manuscript very simply.
However, when he opened the mailbox, he saw another email from the other party.
Five manuscripts, marked with turnaround times.
He opened them one by one and looked at them, and said directly.
Because of these five manuscripts, all of them are more than 10,000 words, and the longest one is actually 30,000 words.
After a brief browsing, I found that the difficulty is not low at all.
was about to call Liang Shuying, but the other party called.
"Mr. Zhou, have you received the email? There are a total of five manuscripts, please translate them as soon as possible and deliver them within five days.
By the way, the deposit has been given to you by Alipay, you can check it yourself. ”
Tsk, strong woman, the call comes quickly, hangs up faster.
As soon as I hung up the phone, my mobile phone received a message that Alipay had arrived.
The amount received this time was even larger, a total of 3,000 yuan.
Five essays, totaling 83,000 words.
If the translation is completed and the quality is passed, then it is 14,940 yuan.
After turning it over in five days, Liang Shuying's dismount is really one after another.
If you are an ordinary person, you will not dare to respond.
However, Zhou Guyuan prefers to face the difficulties.
80,000 words is a lot, so he asked the teacher for leave directly.
Fortunately, he only needs to take two days off, because the next three days are the National Day holiday.
After taking a vacation, he stayed in the dormitory and did his best.
It took three days to translate the 80,000-word manuscript.
I work more than 12 hours almost every day.
The working hours are longer, and the work efficiency is naturally improved.
The other three people in the dormitory were shocked by Zhou Guyuan's state.
When everyone was still studying and spending their parents' money, you actually started working to make money on your own?
And it's a high-end translation job that they can't do at all, and no one will be hit by this.
Zhou Guyuan ignored them, focused on his work, and couldn't extricate himself.
Others don't know the future of the three people in the dormitory, but Zhou Guyuan knows too well.
Although the eldest Xu Changqing is studying Japanese, when he graduated, he not only got a first-level certificate in Japanese, but also a certificate equivalent to English as a second German major.
In addition, the eldest has also passed the English special eight.
Cattle don't want to don't.
You must know that the pass rate of the special eight is very low.
What's more, English is only the equivalent of his third foreign language.
The second child is not bad, Japanese level 1 and catti Japanese level 2, and the second foreign language is French, and he also got a certificate.
The fourth child is a little closer, only past the eighth, but the pickled girls are first-class.
Guo Xunxin's girl in college is indeed a big beauty, but she only got it in the second semester of her freshman year.
Therefore, there are four people in the dormitory, and no one is bad.
Of course, now it seems that Zhou Guyuan is naturally one step ahead.
On this day, when the fourth child returned to the dormitory from self-study at night, he asked more:
"Third child, how much money have you made in the past few days?"
When the eldest and second eldest heard this, they immediately turned their eyes curiously.
In the past few days, their hearts are like cat scratches, and they all want to know how much money Zhou Guyuan has made.
Measure, how much is a thousand words.
