After paying attention to the sales list, Zhang Chu closed the webpage, and now his main task is to study, and the secondary task is to take out the English version of "Youth Pi".

The English version of "Sherlock" has already been written, and now one is published first, and this Random House did not rush to urge, but asked Zhang Chu to translate it slowly.

As for the French version, the publishing company has found a long-term partner to take the Chinese version of "Youth Pi", and the specific progress will be discussed when the time comes!

The influence of translation on a work is too great, a mediocre translator can translate a masterpiece into a bad work, many foreign works have been fooled, and there will always be readers who complain that the translation of so-and-so is very poor.

If Chinese works want to go global, the first problem they need to face is translation!

In his previous life, Zhang Chu knew that Mo Yan had won the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was a lucky writer, because the translations of Mo Yan's English version and the Swedish version were extremely good translators who could ensure the quality of the works.

In fact, many of the literary works sold overseas in China are so badly translated!

There was already a cultural barrier, and as a result, the translation greatly reduced the excitement of the book, and even the sentences did not make sense, which was simply a disadvantage.

Literary translation takes a lot of time, and it is impossible to copy and paste it in the past like Google Translate, and the fastest is to buy the copyright in the first half of the year, translate it in a few months, and then publish it in the second half of the year.

Sometimes some of the more serious translators even go so far as to nitpick that it takes longer to translate a book than it does to write it!

It is important for Chinese literature to go out, but it is even more important to go out in a healthy and decent way, and it is necessary to put high-quality works in front of readers, rather than handing over the translated works that are a mess, which is to smash one's own signboard.

One of the advantages of Zhang Chu over those traditional writers is that most of his works can be translated into English by himself, and if he draws other languages from the system in the future, then he can simply do them all!

In the same way, he has more advantages, at least he can see the appearance of the original work in his previous life from the savior system, even if it has been changed a lot, but many descriptions can still be used for reference.

This will ensure that there will not be too much difference between the two versions, and it will be more authentic!

……

There is no time limit, Zhang Chu's sense of urgency is much less, and now after more than a month of classes, he has a lot more homework, with his own class essays, class presentations and so on.

It takes time and energy to do all of this, and he finally feels a little bit like a student!

Zhang Chu, who sat on top of the college English class, always missed the years when he was a scumbag, not worried about the test grades, only worried about whether the game could be squeezed up, whether he could hit the ladder with his teammates, and so on.

At this moment, the female teacher on the podium smiled and began to assign tasks, which made Zhang Chu feel a bad feeling in his heart.

"This semester, everyone's classwork is to perform a performance of no less than 5 minutes in the classroom in English, and the content is self-prepared and conducted in small groups. There are four people in each group, depending on your current position, and there are a total of four people in the front and back rows, and everyone has to go on stage! Usually the results account for 30% of the total score, I hope you will be cautious. ”

Even if he gave a speech or made a presentation in English, he actually asked for a performance, Zhang Chu seriously suspected that the teacher must be a spy sent by the Chinese opera.

He wanted to complain, but when he turned his head, he found that the classmates around him were eager to try, as if they were very interested in this thing.

The temporary tablemate said excitedly: "We are a group! Zhang Chu, can you perform?"

Zhang Chu hurriedly shook his head, although he is very handsome, it doesn't mean that he can act!

"It's okay, and I won't either. The guy grinned, but comforted Zhang Chulai, "Let's talk about it later." ”

The rest of the group had already gathered together and got to know each other, but when Zhang Chu turned around with the temporary table to get to know the other two team members, he found that two girls were secretly changing places!

The girl with short hair and ears gives people a refreshing and obedient feeling, and two shallow pear vortices appear on her smooth and white face.

"Hello, I'm Ye Qingyun, and I'm glad to be able to complete this group assignment with you. ”

Next to Ye Qingyun was a girl wearing black-framed glasses and a ponytail, and she also introduced: "I am Xia Wen, from the Department of History. ”

Ye Qingyun was a familiar person, she was not embarrassed because she was found to have changed positions, but said to the two men in the front row: "What about you?"

Zhang Chu didn't think too much, "I'm from the Chinese department, my name is Zhang Chu." ”

"Are you Zhang Chu?" Xia Wen said in surprise, she really didn't know that the famous Zhang Chu was actually taking the same class as herself!

The guy who was ignored on the other side patted his chest, and he said with a smile: "I'm from the information science side, my name is Xu Jianming." Do you have any good ideas?"

"Five-minute English performance, I think you still have to be cautious, otherwise the usual 30% of the results will not be good. Ye Qingyun whispered.

Although Zhang Chu was not worried about grades, he was embarrassed to drag down the members of his group, so he cheered up and said: "I think we can perform a scene in a Hollywood movie or TV series, the kind where the four roles are more even." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to choose the kind with bright spots, you can't have a flat dialogue, it's better to have a plot twist, although we can't act, but at least we have to make a plot. Xu Jianming said approvingly, no one wants his group to be compared to other groups.

Ye Qingyun held her cheeks and thought about it, she replied: "Otherwise, let's play Shakespeare's plays, such as "Romeo and Juliet", Zhang Chu, you play Romeo, I play Juliet, Xia Wen, you play Rosalan, Xu Jianming, you play Paris, how about it?"

"I guess there are a lot of people who play Shakespeare, will it crash with someone else?" Zhang Chu touched his chin and replied seriously.

"There's a possibility, and everybody is staring at this aspect of the content. Ye Qingyun hesitated for a moment, "Then how about we rehearse last year's "Titanic"? You-jump, I-jump! It's so romantic. ”

Xu Jianming asked, "Then who will play Jack, who will play Ruth, what do you want to play Xia Wen?"

Xia Wen, who was sitting on the edge of the desk, bit her lip, and she asked, "Can I be a monologue, you will play it?" It just so happens that you play Ruth's fiancé, Qingyun plays Ruth, and Zhang Chu plays Jack. We've just finished allocating. ”

Zhang Chu hadn't responded yet, but Ye Qingyun quickly agreed, "Wenwen's proposal is good, I agree!"

Just now he was a stranger, but now he has become Wenwen, and the friendship between women is really strange.

It's just that Zhang Chu always felt that something was wrong, and he felt that Ye Qingyun on the other side seemed to be a little interesting to himself, otherwise why would he always want to play a couple rivalry with him?

But he was afraid that he had been single for too long, and the other party would misunderstand it if he released a little kindness between his classmates, so what should he do if it became embarrassing?

Trouble, really trouble!

Being single is like a lost dog, everyone can abuse it.
