After Jolene's retest, she stayed at her sister's house crying for two days. After crying, she could express it clearly - her brother told her not to hit the muzzle of the gun, but she still hit it.

"It's all Qiao Nan's fault, if it weren't for his crow's mouth, I wouldn't have encountered these things!"

……

？？？

That day was another day when Qiao Nan was innocently scolded.

Qiao Lin wanted to apply for a graduate degree with the surname Cui, so she read all the professor's books, and although she didn't read them thoroughly, it was more than enough to cope with the interview.

To face those academic celebrities, Qiao Lin is still quite unconfident in her bones. But she has also been active on the university stage for several years, and as soon as she walked into the interview classroom, she was still generous and not stage frightened at all.

The first few questions were answered very well, and one professor asked a few academic questions, and she answered them as well. Just when she thought the interview was about to end successfully, the professor suddenly asked, "What is your dream?"

At that time, "The Voice of China" had not yet been broadcast, and the buzzword that hit the soul - "what is your dream" was not born.

It was originally the simplest question, but Professor Cui dug her the deepest pit.

"I want to be a simultaneous interpreter. ”

is not the third child of the Qiao family, and the upright "problem" is passed down from the family to the family.

But after she finished speaking...... Well, most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

That Professor Cui, with short ear-length hair and a thin body, did not smile. She was dressed in a decent black suit, and she revealed a sense of indifference in her ability, rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Professor Cui sneered nonchalantly and said, "Then you shouldn't apply for our major." ”

Jolene was dumbfounded. Even if she didn't have a mirror in front of her, she knew that her expression must be ugly.

Several professors next to him also seemed to think that Professor Cui was too unkind, some of them coughed, some lowered their heads, and they all wanted to resolve the embarrassment, but they couldn't find a good breakthrough.

Jolene muttered, "That'...... Where should I go?"

I was afraid that no one had ever asked such a question, but Professor Cui, who was calm and calm, also blinked his eyes before saying: "There are good interpreting majors in Beijing and Shanghai and abroad, and even our school has ......."

Jolene already felt cold to herself, and although she wanted to cry, she still controlled her emotions and asked, "What about ...... Translation students can't work as interpreters?"

This question stopped everyone.

"Shouldn't the students trained by your school be interdisciplinary talents who are proficient in both translation and interpretation, and shouldn't all translation skills be top-notch?"

Later, whenever Jolene recalled this scene, her face was still hot and her heart was beating wildly. She thought that she must be crazy to ask such a fatal question.

After she asked this question, no one spoke for a long time, and after a while, a gray-haired old professor smiled and said, "This student is still very ambitious!"

Qiao Lin was instantly ashamed, but still held on to her aura: "When I was in junior high school, I was still the last in the class...... If I hadn't had ambition, I would definitely not have been able to get into my current university, and I wouldn't dare to apply for Peking University. ”

Professor Cui took off his glasses, showed a smile of unknown meaning, and said, "Since you are so confident, then I will test you to see how good your interpretation skills are." ”

Qiao Lin's legs were weak, and she didn't coerce, she was as strong as a revolutionary martyr: "Then you can solve the problem." ”

Professor Cui opened his mouth and said: "The purpose of this meeting is to enhance exchanges, strengthen cooperation, and push the relations between the two countries to a new level." We have reason to believe that under the trend of win-win cooperation, only mutual understanding and mutual respect can make great progress. ”

Simultaneous interpreting requires a lot of expertise, but there are some clichés. For example, the speeches at the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the concluding remarks about the significance of the conference that Professor Cui just said. And these clichés are the most basic content, and they should be firmly stored in the brain. Even if you don't hear the original text, you can recite it reflexively.

Jolene didn't have a shorthand, so she translated it fluently. Professor Cui was slightly surprised, but immediately spoke a paragraph in English, and Qiao Lin translated it into Chinese without any obstacles, and then the teachers stopped talking.

The old professor said with some appreciation: "The translation is very good. ”

"You've won the prize, I'm just carrying it. Jolene said truthfully: "I have memorized all the examples in a translation tutorial from your school. ”

Carrying things, this was all too familiar to Jolene. Since junior high school, she has even memorized math problems. She still spent a lot of effort memorizing the professional books she is studying now.

I heard that she had memorized all the books, and the teachers admired her. Only Professor Cui, with his lips closed tightly and his expression solemn, as if he was deliberately making things difficult for her, read a popular science article about penguins in English.

Jolene still didn't have a pen or a professional dictionary, so she could only concentrate and translate everything she could. This time, of course, it was not as smooth as the previous two, and she herself was apprehensive.

Seeing Qiao Lin's embarrassment, Professor Cui smiled and said, "Why is it stuck this time?"

Jolene replied honestly, "I haven't memorized this." ”

"Your so-called knowledge reserves, but that's it!"

I don't know if it's a delusion, but in Jolene's opinion, the professor she wanted to throw herself into her disciple didn't seem to be very easy to get along with.

Maybe Qiao Lin is not from a high background, from the moment she entered the door, that Professor Cui was full of arrogance, and put on a lofty posture that only a famous family can have; Qiao Lin has a certain strength, and she will do everything possible to suppress it. It wasn't until this young student was so beautiful and embarrassed that she was satisfied.

Such a teacher should not report it.

Thinking like this, Jolene said without humility or arrogance: "Compared with the professors, my knowledge reserve is indeed not rich enough. That's why I want to apply to your school, and I want to be stronger here. Anyway, thank you for giving me an interview. I'm very satisfied to get to where I am today. ”

Jolene's interview was long, and it was time to leave. She bowed to the teachers and thanked them, and everyone else nodded politely, except for a young male teacher, who smiled and said goodbye to her and waved at her.

In her embarrassed exit, the male teacher's smile became the only comfort.

Jolene's interview took too long, and the candidates waiting outside thought she was sure to win, but they didn't expect her to come out crying.

Jolene hadn't been humiliated like this for a long time, and she walked fast, tears streaming profusely. She was making up the scenes discussed by the professors - there would be people who appreciated her, but that Professor Cui would definitely sneer and say, "Will such a student who is not very good, who can only memorize by rote, and who has no creativity at all, be the person we need at Peking University?"

"It's over, it's definitely no fun. ”

Sun Ruiyang was waiting for her anxiously outside the teaching building, but she didn't expect her to cry so much that she threw herself into his arms, and the first sentence was like this.

"My score in the first test was not too high, and I wanted to add some points in the retest, but I didn't expect it to be ......"

Sun Ruiyang was distressed and hugged her tightly. He wanted to take her to eat something delicious, but she said she had no appetite and just wanted to go to her sister's house to sleep.

It seems that something really big is wrong, and Jolene has no appetite anymore.

After settling her in, on the subway back to school, Sun Ruiyang sent her a long message, which basically meant that Peking University is an inclusive university, and the teacher she met was just a rare case. There will definitely be people who appreciate her diligence, and she will counterattack and be admitted to Peking University.

Not only Sun Ruiyang comforted her like this, but others did the same. Jolene was silent for two or three days, and after relieving, she returned to school to write her graduation thesis. The past has passed, and what can be grasped must be done well.

Qiao Nan's affairs were not going well. At the Chinese New Year, the family tentatively scheduled his wedding date for mid-August, and although Qiao Nan was worried that it would collide with the schedule, he agreed.

A few days ago, he received bad news that a certain foreign unit was going to visit his former unit for an inspection visit, and his chief called him and hoped that he would accompany him throughout the whole process.

"Qiao Nan, there are not many talents like you who understand the situation of the army and are good at foreign languages, and there are not many people in the whole military region. In front of foreigners, you have to show the demeanor of our young officers in the new era!"

Qiao Nan said, he is not the only one who is good at English, he still has to hold a wedding, and the date is set. But the chief was optimistic about him, telling him that the wedding date could be postponed for a few days, and he came forward to communicate with his school.

It's all said and done, how can he refuse?

I'm really worried about anything. As a good young man, Qiao Nan can only push his personal problems back, and can only choose to be sorry for his family and lover.

No one blamed him, he buried all his guilt in his heart. At this juncture of loss, he also comforted his sister - it's not a big deal, when he went to the training camp N years ago, he thought he would die in that perverted unit, and didn't he mix well in it in the end?

Qiao Lin was still very aggrieved: "Your standards are very strict, but those leaders above you, are they also so arrogant?"

Qiao Nan couldn't stop laughing: "Classmate Qiao Lin, you are too naïve. If you knew how the instructor scolded me at the time, you wouldn't think the professor was arrogant. ”

Looking back, Qiao Nan was also very emotional-he really had a strong heart when he was young. Whether he is studying or joining the army, he is top-notch, and he is proud in his heart. But it was not easy to resist such strong ridicule back then. The instructors scolded him, and he could bear it, but he couldn't bear it even when his school scolded him. Even if they are tired to death, they can't be looked down upon.

He can endure those hardships, but he doesn't want his sister to endure them. His greatest wish is for her to find an ideal job and live a safe and happy life.

Jolene found comfort in her brother, such an excellent brother who had been trampled on his dignity and trained to be inferior to a pig and a dog. What she experienced is not an insult.

It seems that only the older you get and the more hardships you suffer, can you understand my brother better!

But as long as she thought of the arrogant teacher, she still couldn't swallow this breath. In the middle of the night when she was writing her dissertation, she couldn't help but call her boyfriend: "Sun Ruiyang, no matter whether I can be admitted to Peking University or not, I must become an excellent translator in the future! At least, when I face that Professor Cui again, I will be upright and will not be insulted by her again!"
