CHAPTER XXI

"Teacher Gu, what are you doing?"

Zhou Haihong held the thermos cup, his face unclear.

Gu Lu turned his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just changing my paper." “

Change...... Thesis?!

Zhou Haihong had a look on his face, don't fool me.

Zhou Haihong has not written about this paper.

As the head of the mathematics group of Haicheng's No. 1 high school, he writes one or two educational papers every year on average, which are submitted to educational journals such as "High School Mathematics Teaching and Learning" and "High School Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry".

But like Gu Lu, who is full of English and formulas that are not involved in high school math knowledge at all, I don't want to look like a serious education paper at all.

"Then Mr. Gu, which educational journal are you going to submit this paper to? I have submitted manuscripts to several high school education journals in China, so I may be able to give you a counselor. ”

"Educational journals?"

Gu Lu was stunned for a moment, knowing that Zhou Haihong probably didn't understand the situation.

He explained with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, my paper was not submitted to those domestic education journals. You just read what I wrote, can high school students understand it?"

"And what are you?"

"This is an academic paper, I submitted it to a foreign SCI journal, and the reviewer replied to me and asked me to fix it. Didn't I just change it, so you just happened to bump into it?"

"SCI......" Zhou Haihong's hand was unstable, and he almost dropped the thermos cup directly on the ground.

His eyes widened, and he stared at Gu Lu stunned, "You wrote an article that you want to submit to SCI?"

Zhou Haihong felt a little messy in the wind.

"Teacher Zhou, don't make such a fuss. Gu Lufeng said in a light tone, "It's just a SCI article." If I graduate with a PhD, I have to write three SCI papers, so it's really nothing. ”

Zhou Haihong: "......"

SCI articles are nothing......

For the first time in his life, Zhou Haihong wanted to vomit blood.

If he could have written a SCI-quality paper, he wouldn't have survived for more than 30 years and worked as a math teacher in a high school.

"Teacher Zhou, really, a SCI article ...... written"

"Alright, alright. Teacher Gu, don't stimulate me anymore, let me slow down. ”

Gu Lu also wanted to continue to talk to Zhou Haihong on the topic of "On the simplicity of writing a SCI article", but was interrupted by Zhou Haihong. Then he fled back to his desk.

In the afternoon, Zhou Haihong, who finally recovered from Gu Lu's blow, found Gu Lu again.

"Teacher Gu, did you find someone to translate the English part of your paper in the morning, or did you write it yourself?"

Although he wondered why Zhou Haihong asked himself this, Gu Lu still told the truth, "I wrote it myself." ”

Zhou Haihong's eyes lit up, "Your English level is very good?"

"English level 8 full score. ”

"You're such a monster. I have a part-time job here, can you do it?"

"What job?"

"Helping others translate papers, 100 yuan for 1,000 words. ”

Gu Lu was moved.

Is Gu Lu short of money?

To be honest, he was short of money.

His parents' inheritance was spent most of the four years he spent studying abroad.

And Gu Lu has just joined the company, and the salary is not very high.

In addition, he has to pay a lot of page fees every time he submits to SCI journals, so Gu Lu currently has a strong desire to make money.

"How about it, do you want to do it?" Zhou Haihong asked.

Gu Lu nodded heavily, "!"

100 yuan for 1,000 words, this thing is more profitable than code words.

"That's good. Zhou Haihong took out his mobile phone, "This is one of my former students, I will send you his WeChat, and you can talk to him yourself." ”

The WeChat account was sent, and Gu Lu quickly added the person's friend.

You can only become stronger when you are bald: "Brother, you were introduced by Teacher Zhou?"

Appearance is justice: "It should be me who is right." ”

Only when you are bald can you become stronger: "Brother, I have to submit this paper to SCI for use, you have to translate it well, otherwise my doctoral graduation will be hanging." ”

Gu Lu replied with an OK gesture to this brother called "bald to become stronger".

Appearance is justice: "When do you want it?"

Bald to become stronger: "The sooner the better! The journal "Mathematical Symbols" I want to submit has a full three months review cycle. ”

"Mathematical Symbols" Gu Lu knows that it is a journal in Denmark with an impact factor of less than 0.2.

Appearance is justice: "Okay, you can send the paper." I'll do it before the National Day!"

Only when you are bald can you become stronger: "Brother, it's the 28th today? It's only been three days, will it be ...... Too rushed?"

Appearance is justice: "If I didn't have to work, three days would be long." ”

You have to be bald to become stronger: "That's fine." Since it was introduced by Mr. Zhou, I will believe what you say. ”

After sending this sentence, the doctoral student sent a large document, and then transferred 1,500 yuan to Gu Lu.

Only when you are bald can you become stronger: "The paper is 30,000 words, 1000 words, pay half of the deposit first, and the other half will be handed over to you." ”

Gu Lu's side also logged in to WeChat on the computer and opened the oversized document.

Gu Lu didn't expect that this employer was also a mathematics student. And he is also the most difficult mathematics doctoral student.

Clicking on this benevolent brother's WeChat profile picture, the hairline has moved back to the point where I can't bear to look at it directly.

It can be said that he has been crazy on the verge of baldness.

The title of this doctoral student's dissertation is "The Fundamental Standard Type of the Coupling of Self-Conjugate Boundary Conditions with Fourth-Order Regular Differential Operators".

The paper is more than 30,000 words, all in Chinese.

Gu Lu's job is to translate this paper into fluent English format.

Just taking advantage of the time, Gu Lu created a new document and began to translate it cracklingly.

It's time to get off work in the afternoon.

Gu Lu has completed almost one-fifth of the translation work of the paper.

As for the content of the doctoral student's dissertation, Gu Lu understood it while translating, and it can be regarded as a general understanding.

To put it simply, the Ph.D. student used a new method to give the basic standard type of the self-conjugate boundary conditions of the coupling of the fourth-order regular differential operator, and the four block small matrices in the new standard are symmetric matrices, through which the standard type of the general higher-order differential operator self-conjugate boundary conditions is calculated.

Theoretically, this mathematical logic makes perfect sense.

But in the process of translation, Gu Lu always felt an awkward feeling.

Until, Gu Lu saw a formula derivation from the doctoral student on the seventh page of the paper.

He frowned, and the fingers tapping the keyboard stopped abruptly in the air.

After hesitating for a moment, in the spirit of being responsible for his employer, Gu Lu also picked up his mobile phone and found the friend with the nickname "Bald to become stronger".

"Are you there?"

You can only become strong when you are bald: "I am here." Brother, what's the matter, is there too much technical vocabulary, and you have trouble in the translation process?"

Appearance is justice: "It's not about translation." It's about you for this paper. ”

Only when you are bald can you become stronger: "Thesis, is there anything wrong with the paper?"

"Although it is not my job, I have to remind you that there is a major mistake in this paper of yours. ”
