Chapter 357: Magazines Arrive Home
The development of the domestic logistics industry has been blown up internationally.
However, the Spring Festival suspension is well known, after all, the whole country celebrates the New Year, and the courier's little brother is also going to take a holiday.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Zhou Congshu went downstairs and saw a courier car printed with a certain Feng parked on the side of the road, and after walking in, the driver also opened the door: "Monday's courier, right?"
"Aang, yes. Zhou Congshu responded, and gossiped: "You guys are really hard enough, and you don't rest on the first day of the new year?"
The little brother smiled bitterly: "We don't stop for 365 days, but the overtime pay is high, and the family has just given birth to a child, so I can't take the opportunity to come up?" Okay, you sign here, and you also have to take pictures for the bottom." ”
Zhou Congshu complied, and asked, "Do you want to take pictures?"
The little brother took out a document and pointed to the letterhead: "International express, high-price special line, insurance-based." ”
International Express?
Zhou Congshu was stunned, pondering in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't get results.
signed, took pictures, and the courier brother drove away.
Zhou Congshu looked down at the English on the document, strolled home, and muttered in confusion: "Lancet?"
He doesn't speak English well, don't think that doctors want to read English professional monographs, how good English is, for some professional terms, maybe the door is clear, but it is really blind to pronounce and read aloud, not to mention grammar.
How many years has it been since Zhou Congshu left the front line? Although the clinic is busy, it is not self-motivated, and more research is about traditional Chinese medicine knowledge.
To say that the Lancet Lancet journal is world-famous, it should also be clear that when Zhou Congshu was a front-line doctor, the status of domestic scholars in the international academic community was really not high, and the involvement was relatively shallow.
So much so that Lancet was in front of him, and he didn't know Tarzan.
Returned to the clinic and closed the door.
Before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the clinic is closed, and the Zhou family can rest for a period of time every year.
Second floor.
Zhou Shouming saw his son coming back, holding a heavy document bag in his hand, so he asked, "What kind of courier? Why did you send it for the New Year?"
"I don't know, people said that it was sent from abroad, you look at the English on it, why don't you show it?" Zhou Congshu threw the document bag on the coffee table, and there was a teasing smile on his face, which was obviously funny.
Zhou Shouming couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded with a smile: "I want to understand, what do I want you to do?"
"By the way, let Zhenxi take a look, there are foreigners in our family. Zhou Congshu sat down on the sofa and beckoned to Jielaer. "Zhenxi, show grandpa what's going on here. ”
Jielaer's half-hung English, spoken is quite neat, and letting her recognize words is tantamount to reading a book from heaven.
The two of them laughed at each other, and Zhou Congshu studied it on his own, even if he forgot all his previous English knowledge, but with today's modern technology, are you afraid that there will be no result in translating a document?
Turn on the phone, and there is a burst of operation.
"Lancet, The Lancet?"
"From the headquarters of the British magazine?"
", pro-enlightenment. ”
Zhou Congshu's brain is not stupid, and after thinking about it for a while, he has a vague answer, the lancet should be a foreign impurity, with the suffix name + CHN, and it must be his own son.
"MSF, sounds familiar......"
Bang bang bang.
Open Du Niang and search.
"Hey. Zhou Congshu exclaimed.
Zhou Shouming turned his eyes and looked: "What's wrong?
"MSF, MSF, when did you join this organization in your life?"
Médecins Sans Frontières?
The old father and son looked at each other, both muttering.
"I guess it was done in Africa. ”
"It's supposed to be ......"
"And what's going on with the magazine?"
"Study materials? Or maybe this kid made it himself. Zhou Congshu thought about it, and looked at the file bag with some eagerness. "Why don't we open it and have a look?"
Zhou Shouming obviously also had the intention to move, but he only struggled for a second, and then shook his head: "When the child is older, he has to have his own privacy." ”
But that's not the end of the story.
Tear pull.
The sealing strip of the document bag was directly torn open by Zhou Congshu.
"Oh, you didn't speak for a long time, I thought you agreed!" Someone looked stupid, looking extremely regretful, and a sentence instantly shook off the old father.
The old man was so choked that he couldn't say a word, and now that it's all open, let's take a look.
The magazine is published once a month, summarizing academic articles from around the world, and is printed in color pages.
The two old men are novel.
The old man took the lead in snatching the magazine, and he must be the first to look at it, after all, the pot can't be carried in vain.
Zhou Congshu was not in a hurry, the magazine was taken out by the old man, but he saw that there was still a folded letter in the document bag, the magazine was definitely not the point, the focus was on this letter.
It is written on the outer packaging of the document bag, and it is opened in person.
In such a grand situation, it can't be a shipping list, it's an international magazine.
The envelope was shaken open, and it was repeated in English, and the tadpole text made Brother Shu dizzy.
Just looking at the wording, the use of words can be quite formal and cumbersome.
All Chinese languages have similar characteristics, the official written language and the spoken language are often very different, Chinese is easy to speak, the phrases are similar, English is very shit.
It's hard to be awkward between phrases, and it seems that I can't wait for anyone to be next to anyone, which is special.
In the simplest example, a chicken is a chicken and an egg is an egg.
Beginners will really treat these two things as different species, which has such a chain reaction as Chinese, the eggs laid by chickens must be eggs, you don't 'sigh'.
So.
Brother Shu felt a headache when he saw the official written language.
Ordinary vernacular English, he may still be able to understand, grammar is not clear and can still piece together vocabulary associations, this is good, the long list of words is more obscure than medical professional terms, and it is impossible to make up for it.
The old man on the side flipped through the monograph, but in fact, he also looked at the illustrations.
Zhou Congshu simply picked up the translation software and began to piece it together word by word.
That's twenty minutes.
Wow.
Zhou Congshu shook the letter and turned around: "Dad, Dad, Dad!!
The old man was looking at the momentum, and was so bluffed that his old body trembled, and he said angrily: "What are you shouting? Why is it amazing, people who are dozens of years old can't stabilize the point?"
"Oh, Dad, read the letter, read the letter. ”
Zhou Shouming's face became more and more unhappy: "Can I understand?" Hurry up, see something, and say directly, don't sell it." ”
My son reacted so much, it must have been discovered something.
The old man was also curious.
He just flipped through the book, and he didn't recognize a single big character, purely thinking that the specifications of the page printing of foreigners were very high.
Zhou Congshu took a deep breath and handed the letter to the old man: "Na, look, the letter is sent by the Lancet Review Department, it says that the paper has been published, and it is on the front page of the publicity draft, you see here......"
He hurriedly turned the pages of the book again, and as soon as the first few pages of the table of contents passed, it was "First Aid (Wild) Medical Exploration: The Feasibility of Single and Double Channel Closure for Kidney Removal", and the characters were naturally in English.
However, below the title, the author's name is introduced.
。
a&。
"Dad, look at this first name, it's a lifetime. Zhou Congshu was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
