On the first day of translation, the sun was shining, but the weather was maddeningly hot. Jolene was wearing her skirt and was sweating profusely. All men wear suits and leather shoes, so it should be even more difficult!

With good professionalism, Jolene successfully translated the welcome ceremony. The next meeting didn't go wrong. It was when the American side introduced their evaluation criteria that Qiao Lin was a little nervous, and there were two or three stumbles, but there was no danger, and she translated all clearly.

After the meeting, she glanced at the female clerk, her face was pale, her lips were trembling involuntarily, and there was no one in the audience who was nervous more than her. After Jolene finished translating, she was the first to applaud and laugh with relief.

Jolene took a few deep breaths and walked steadily off the stage. Although there are a few areas that are not very smooth, no one else notices. After she stepped down, the Chinese boss shook hands with her with a smile on his face and kept saying that he had worked hard.

Jolene also hurriedly smiled, and at that time she realized that she was also so nervous that her whole body was tense, and her smile was not natural, and her smile was stiff.

Maybe it was the stiff smile that showed a little jerky student atmosphere, and the boss said, "I heard that you are still a graduate student, but you are very sophisticated, which is really good!"

"You've won a prize. ”

Jolene relaxed a little and set off with them to the factory. Because the production is precision medical equipment, the whole workshop has very high requirements for cleanliness, and you must be fully armed after entering, and there is also a workshop that requires you to wear a mask to visit.

Jolene was so stunned that she had to translate loudly. The technician-like man in the United States was also uncomfortable, but he was also meticulously taking notes and constantly asking some very detailed questions.

Finally getting out of that workshop, Jolene almost fell to the ground. A male staff member held her up and asked with concern, "Do you want to take a break?"

"No, let's keep working!"

The male clerk said with a little admiration: "I didn't expect that you look thin and thin, and you can endure hardships." ”

Jolene was embarrassed to be praised and said, "There are still a lot of people in the workshop who work with masks, and I will go in for a while, they have to work there all the time, and I can't catch up with them if they want to endure hardship." ”

Because the communication was smooth, everyone was in a good mood. The day's work schedule is almost over, and the next step is to eat, drink and be merry. The male clerk answered the phone just now, and then said to Qiao Lin: "Teacher Qiao, you have worked hard today. If you wish, you are more than welcome to join the evening tour, and if you are too tired, you can go back to the hotel to rest. After all, we all see your hard work. ”

Jolene was puzzled and asked, "If I'm gone, who will translate?"

"Ah...... Didn't Xiao Jia tell you? We hired two interpreters, one is a professional conference interpreter, and the other is an accompanying interpreter. The two translators have a clear division of labor, so you won't be too tired. ”

The first time Jolene heard about this kind of operation, although it sounded like it was for her good, she was not very happy in her heart. At that time, she had not yet stepped out of the ivory tower, which was not suitable for those business occasions, but she always felt unwilling, so she joked: "I don't want to go back to eat the buffet alone, I will follow you to eat a big meal." ”

The male staff was also very happy and said, "That's great, we're worried that the translator's level is not as good as yours, what's wrong!"

Jolene smiled reluctantly, she wished that the other translator would be of a good level so that she wouldn't have to translate anymore. To be honest, in the past few hours, she has been exhausted, and the translation is really a manual job.

"By the way, Mr. Qiao, another translator recommended to us by the translation company is also a student of Peking University, maybe the two of you know each other!"

Jolene chuckled in her heart, and suddenly had a sense of foreboding. The opportunity that Rhubarb introduced to her, the classmates all knew about it, and they were quite envious. But Jolene is very popular, if the other classmates could go with her, they would have told her a long time ago, is it necessary to hide it?

However, there is only one person, and she will hide this happy event and will not tell anyone until the last moment.

"Teacher Qiao, the translation teacher is here too!"

Qiao Lin followed the prestige, and sure enough, she saw Liu Zheng walking towards them with powerful steps. She was wearing a white shirt, a short black skirt, and a pair of stiletto sandals, which was a little more imposing than Jolene. She shook hands generously with others, and when she saw Jolene, she also smiled: "Hi, Jolene." ”

Jolene smiled gracefully, and said half-jokingly, "You've done a great job of keeping secrets! I didn't even know you were coming." ”

"I've always kept a low profile! It's just a job, and I don't need to be known to everyone. ”

Jolene grinded her teeth secretly, isn't this guy secretly mocking herself? Who in the English department doesn't know that she is coming to be a translator? If she had stayed in the past, Jolene might have choked to death by her, but now, she still wants to be as sharp as when she was a child.

Jolene smiled as naturally as she could, and said, "You said, if you had told me earlier, I would have sent you the translated materials, and we would have taken care of the translation." You're just telling me now, and it's too late for me to send it to you. ”

Qiao Lin knows Liu's positive personality too well, and as long as she comes, she won't let herself feel better. Although, she is only an "assistant translator", she will definitely spare no effort to grab Jolene's position. At that point, she would ask the person in charge of the company for the materials and sue Jolene, saying that she was selfish and refused to share the materials with her.

Jolene has suffered losses too many times, and this time she took the initiative to attack, at least in front of the company. She thought that Liu Zheng had nothing to say, but before getting into the car, she turned around and smiled at Qiao Lin and said, "There's no need." ”

Is it that she doesn't need to read the material, or does Jolene not need to tell her this?

Jolene was angered by her again, but with so many people around, she didn't want to stiffen the atmosphere. She got into the car and pretended to look at the scenery, but a typhoon had already blown in her heart.

Dinner was served in a rather historic restaurant, and there were people performing opera on the way. Jolene had never seen it before, and thought it was fresh. The only thing that made her unhappy was Liu Zheng's noisy voice and the overly active posture that was deliberately performed for her.

Liu Zhengxin has no special translation training, does not know how to control his voice, and has not practiced the speed of speech, but speaks very quickly, and only seeks accuracy in his words, and does not pursue beauty at all. To sum it up in one sentence, that is, she lacks the quality of a professional translator, and she is just doing it brutally.

A long time ago, Jolene asked Rhubarb why he was so determined to train her to be a simultaneous interpreter? And he taught her for free? Rhubarb said: "I didn't know if you had the perseverance and whether you could endure hardships, but judging from your voice and speaking speed, you are very suitable for simultaneous interpretation. ”

"Voice, speed of speech, are these important?"

"Qiao Lin, are you comfortable listening to the CCTV announcer, or is it comfortable listening to the shouting of the vegetable market? Being a translator is similar to being an announcer, that is, passing information to the other party. In addition to fluency, voice and speed of speech are very important conditions. ”

Jolene is always grateful to Rhubarb, he has taught herself so much. So much so that before she became an apprentice, she could hear a lot of problems with Liu Zheng. But with so many people here, Jolene didn't break her, who is more comfortable to be a translator, I believe that the group of Americans will make a judgment!

Jolene didn't argue with her for translation, she just ate and drank quietly, watched the performance, and occasionally explained a few words to the technician brother next to her. Since Liu Zheng wants to serve everyone so much, then let her go! Qiao Lin just took the opportunity to recover her energy.

Probably because she couldn't see Qiao Lin living too comfortably, but after a while, Liu Zheng couldn't sit still, and she coldly ordered: "Qiao Lin, Ms. Joanna is going to the bathroom, you go with her." ”

Jolene was very unhappy: "You go, I'm here to accompany them." ”

"Jolene, can you take care of the big picture? I've been translating from dinner until now. ”

Liu Zheng said very seriously, as if Qiao Lin was really her ignorant subordinate. If Jolene didn't have a big picture, she would have turned against her a long time ago. However, even though the grievances permeated her whole body, Jolene still got up and walked towards the bathroom.

When she returned with the American lady, the meal was almost over. Liu actively took on the command of the scene again, as if everyone at that table had to obey her dispatch.

Originally, she and Jolene stayed in the same hotel, and they could take the same car back. And the Americans have a special driver to pick them up, and they don't have to do anything to translate. But Liu actively didn't listen, she said persistently: "Today I am a translator, I must be responsible for the client, I want to watch them enter the hotel, or I will not worry." ”

Although her conscientiousness and responsibility disrupted the original plan, she also moved the Chinese side. They were still arranging the car, someone went to the bathroom, and Liu Zheng began to command Qiao Lin again: "Qiao Lin, you follow them to see the situation of the car, and let me know after reading it." ”

These words were spoken vividly and naturally, as if Jolene had always been her little follower, and everything had to be reported to her. Seeing Qiao Lin's face flushed, she urged again: "Go quickly!

Jolene turned away angrily, tears welling up in her eyes again. She closed her eyes and held back all her tears, determined that she could not be slaughtered like this again.

Early the next morning, the company held a routine meeting, and Liu Zheng, who should not have appeared, really appeared in the company on time, sitting next to the American leader, like his personal female secretary.

The person in charge of the Chinese side wanted to introduce the itinerary of the day, and Qiao Lin was supposed to translate, but Liu Xian was quick and grabbed the microphone in his hand first. Jolene's hand hung awkwardly in the air like a joke.

As a result, after the person in charge of the Chinese side finished the whole paragraph, Liu Xianxin couldn't translate a sentence, and only cared about memorizing it in his notebook. In the end, she used a smile to resolve the embarrassment, turned her gaze to Qiao Lin, and said calmly: "Our teacher Qiao's translation level is also very high, and he has been in Taoguang since last night, so it's better to ...... Give her this translation opportunity! Jolene, behave well!"

Her eyes fell on Qiao Lin, as if she was Liu Zheng's most trusted subordinate, and she wanted to thank her boss for "rewarding" her with this opportunity to perform.

Liu Zheng's eyes were full of encouragement to his "subordinates", as if to say: Hurry up and catch the microphone! Aren't you eager to behave? You are so obedient, hurry up and do as I say!

However, Qiao Lin never stretched out her hand or spoke, she stared at Liu Zheng, her hands clenched into fists under the table.
