Chapter 1024: Is the Nobel Prize Difficult? (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
Under the podium, the other children were worried.
Whispering to each other.
"Liang Da is so bold. ”
"This guy has never been cold to King. ”
"yes, he never listens to songs, and he goes around behind the ass of a few local French girls every day. ”
He always said that it was useless to learn Chinese culture, and now he actually came to question Brother Huan, which was too much. ”
"But I think he's right. ”
"Let's listen to what Brother Huan has to say. ”
Wang Huan stared at this child named Liang Da, and began to think in his heart. Before he came, he had already thought that there must be such a child with a thorn in the head. Ordinary students, because they are young, have not yet formed a real world view and outlook on life, so under his prestige and momentum, it is easy to be suppressed by him. But this kind of thorn is not interested in him in the first place, and there is even a faint rebellion in his heart, and what he just said will only arouse their stronger disgust.
And on such an occasion, Wang Huan can't scold the other party, he can only follow the temptation. After all, he's not here to anger people, he's here to teach people, right?
I thought about it.
Wang Huan smiled and said: "The question you raised originally had a certain contradiction. First of all, whether the Chinese language is great or not, it is not the turn of a foreign literary award to make a final conclusion, this literary award can only be said to be an honorary affirmation of the author, and it cannot rise to the level of words, otherwise it will be too rebellious. Secondly, in my opinion, there are many excellent works in China, both in terms of writing and in terms of depth and breadth, which are no worse than those that won the Nobel Prize in Literature, but they did not win this award. There are two reasons for this:
First, because of cultural differences, there are very different historical and cultural differences between foreign countries and China, so the works written by Chinese writers are often not understandable to foreigners. As a result, when Chinese literary works are translated into foreign languages, they lose their original charm, resulting in a great reduction in literary quality.
Second, deep-seated prejudices. Of course, I can't explain this to you clearly, otherwise I will get into big trouble. I'm just telling you, in this world, I really haven't seen an award that really doesn't have any personal emotion, even if the award has no emotion, but the person who awarded it does. ”
Wang Huan's words made many people think.
Especially the teachers standing outside.
However, Liang Da was not satisfied, and he immediately asked, "What kind of cultural differences? Why don't I know?"
Wang Huan said lightly: "You don't know, it's because you have a poor cultural background, and it's ridiculously bad." If you say such a thing, you can only make people laugh at it. ”
“……”
Liang Da's face turned red, and he didn't hold back a word.
It's just that there is a strong unconvincing on his face.
Wang Huan didn't scold, but stared at Liang Da's eyes and said: "I'll give you the simplest example now, a 'I' word, a simple pale 'I' in English will be done." But what about the Chinese language?"
"The emperor called me a widow, a lonely man, and a lonely family. Concubines are called concubines and palaces. The Queen Mother called the mourning family. Those who have no status are called slaves. Ordinary people are called inferior, not talented, and old. The girl is called the little girl. The man is called this seat. The monk called the poor road. Nuns are called poor nuns. Each title has a specific meaning and place name, you know?"
“……”
Liang Da was a little dumbfounded.
Wang Huan's voice was not loud, but what he said made him unable to refute. Even what Wang Huan said was what he usually knew, but he had never felt special, and when he heard Wang Huan talk about it at the moment, he felt that it seemed really unusual.
Wang Huan continued:
"You think that's the end of it? For example: contemptible people, Xiao Ke, me, we, Sprinkle family, Xiaosheng, mountain people, grass people, lowly positions, old clumsy, lower officials, old men, little brothers, and so on at least hundreds of titles. And that's just the simplest word for 'I'. The meanings of other words and idioms have derived from a brilliant crystallization that is far from being comparable to foreign countries in the long river of Chinese culture. And what you learn in the Zhou Zi School is only the most visible language communication function. Do you really think that you can speak, you can read Chinese characters, and you understand Chinese culture? Even I don't dare to say such big words, where do you get your confidence?"
Wang Huan's voice gradually turned cold.
At this moment, the hearts of the other students were deeply shaken.
"Oh my God, with such a comparison, Huaxia has really become taller. ”
"That's true, when Brother Huan said this, I felt that Chinese culture is indeed profound. ”
"It's shocking that there are so many things to say about a 'me'. ”
"Yes, such a comparison, I suddenly feel that other words are not up to grade. ”
"No wonder the teacher said before that what we have learned is only the surface of Chinese culture. ”
“……”
Wang Huan's eyes were blazing and imposing, and he said to Liang Da: "What's more, the unique historical and cultural inheritance of China, as well as the truth of life contained in it, foreigners can't understand it at all. I have read many Chinese literary works that have been translated into various Chinese languages, and their original literary, historical, and other meanings revealed between the lines have disappeared. It's not that the translator's level is not good, but the language of any country can't carry its meaning. ”
"Let me give you another example, there is a saying in Huaxia that goes like this: A bald donkey dares to rob the master with the poor road. Let me ask you, how do you translate such a sentence that contains countless meanings such as religion, ethics, human nature, morality, martial arts, love and hatred, etc., and you are asked to translate it into the languages of other countries? Even if you forcibly translate it, it will completely lose its meaning. Because of this, I say that Huaxia is the greatest language in the world. Now, do you still question what I'm saying?"
There was an uproar inside and outside the teachers.
Especially Wang Huan's sentence "Bald donkey, dare to rob the teacher with the poor road" instantly caused laughter.
Even Zhou Laixiang, whose face had been solemn just now, couldn't help but smile.
It's just that everyone didn't notice it, and before they knew it, Wang Huan had completely controlled the situation. Everyone was brought into their own rhythm by him.
Liang Da's face was a little ugly, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But what you said so much is false, if Huaxia's culture can't go out of the world, then no matter how good it is, it can only entertain itself in Huaxia." It cannot be recognized by the rest of the world, let alone integrated into the world. ”
Wang Huan seemed to smile: "Then what do you think Chinese culture is going out of the world?"
Liang Da spoke: "For example, win the Nobel Prize in Literature." ”
Get!
went around and around, but still didn't pass this hurdle. The kid still stuck to his thoughts.
In that case......
Wang Huan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Is the Nobel Prize in Literature really difficult?"
