Chapter 133: The Language of Speech (25,000 Pushes and Changes)
"Thank you and the professors for your kindness! I will certainly live up to your expectations!" Lu Qiujian, the respectful president, bowed to these academicians and professors, and they also took a certain risk by handing over such an important work to a twenty-year-old student.
"This is also an opportunity for you to make something first, so that Beijing Normal University can have such an opportunity!" the principal waved his hand, "It's just so that you are here, let's take a look around with us, and say what problems you find in time, so as not to make mistakes when you get it!"
"Well, I was still in class just now, and there is still a section of low-dimensional topology in the morning!" Lu Qiujian said a little embarrassed.
"Haha! You still need to take this course? Forget it, if you are present, it is estimated that Xiao Ning will not be able to give a good lecture!" Professor Zhang and the other academicians all laughed, and he persuaded, "According to my intentions, you don't need to go to this course, so as not to increase the pressure on Teacher Ning! In the past half a month, you don't have to go to class every day, try to prepare for the report meeting as well! As for the substitute teacher, I'll go and tell you!"
"Well, then I'll just go to the exam when the time comes!" Lu Qiu Jian was happy to save some time.
"If you are happy to take the exam, you can go to it, forget it if you are not happy!" Just kidding, can the person who can crack the Poincaré conjecture still hang up in low-dimensional topology?
"The sound and lighting are all newly purchased! The paint on the wall is also re-painted, absolutely pollution-free materials! The projector and curtain are also selected as the best at present" The school leaders in charge of decoration affairs made a report to the principal, the principal sometimes nodded, sometimes asked a few questions, and Professor Zhang and the academicians also occasionally added two sentences.
After checking around and pointing out a few small problems, it was just time for lunch; the principal had recently pushed off all the work that could be pushed forward, and he was making every effort to prepare for this report meeting, and he happened to be here today, so he beckoned to go to dinner together, and continued to check the details after eating.
"President, which leader are we going to invite to the meeting this time?" Professor Zhang asked, this is also the practice of Huaguo, the higher the level of leadership invited to the meeting, the more successful the meeting.
Of course, this is also a good opportunity to show the outstanding achievements of Beijing Normal University on the road to building a world-class university, and the president will definitely not miss it, and only by leaving a good impression in front of the leaders can it be convenient to obtain funds for the school in the future. However, the vice premier in charge of science, education, culture, and public health has already agreed to attend, and the elders in charge of this field may also attend the meeting.
As long as this conference is successfully held, no matter how you say that you can ask for hundreds of millions more in the funding struggle at the end of the year, and more importantly, the reputation of Beijing Normal University in the world mathematics community can be greatly improved!
This is also very beneficial to Lu Qiujian, to complete his plan, it is inevitable to contact the high-level in the future, where to register with them first, leave a good impression and do things in the future.
At this time, the wine and food also came up, and the principal raised his glass, "Come, the first glass is to salute Xiao Lu, it is really remarkable to have made such a big achievement at the age of twenty!
After drinking the wine, Lu Qiujian said modestly, "I also accidentally found a way to crack it by luck! There are many people in history who are younger than me when they have made great achievements!"
"Excessive modesty is pride! You're shouting too late now, what are we?" Professor Zhang felt a pang of regret in his heart, but it was a pity that he could only stay in the Department of Mathematics of Beijing Normal University for less than a year.
After laughing for a while, and then talking about business, Professor Zhang asked, "Principal, have you found all the simultaneous interpretations?" There are too many professional terms involved in this meeting, and they have to find something to prepare!"
Simultaneous interpretation refers to a method in which the interpreter interprets the content to the audience without interrupting the speaker's speech, and has been adopted by most high-level international conferences since the Nuremberg International Trial.
Of course, this kind of work has very high requirements for people, first of all, the translator is required to have super listening ability, not only to be able to understand the standard pronunciation of the language, but also to understand the pronunciation of dialects and slang, for example, when translating Japanese, the Kanto dialect and the Kansai dialect are different, and the accents of the north and south of the country are also very different from the accents of the north and south of the country, and you can't expect the speaker to have a fluent standard accent, so you can only enhance your own accumulation.
At the same time, you should also prepare in advance for the professional words involved in the meeting, some words are used in daily life, and in a specific occasion it is another use, such as hat-trick, if you translate Messi's hat-trick against Real Madrid into Messi's hat-trick - Madrid.
"This time I am looking for familiar hands who participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians last year, English to Chinese, English to Japanese, English to French, English to Russian, English to German, English to Spanish and other major languages have two or three people coming, probably tomorrow will arrive at the school, then we will go to meet them together!"
Only Lu Qiujian frowned slightly, "Headmaster, but I'm going to give a speech in Chinese!" Judging from the configuration that the principal just said, it was prepared by Lu Qiujian to give a speech in English.
"Hmm, I heard Professor Zhang say that your English is very good, and there is no problem with your speech?" the principal was a little surprised.
Not only am I good at English, but there is no problem with the languages I just said, "I think so, since we are in our report meeting in China, isn't it normal for the speaker to use the language of China?"
"But this is basically the practice of academic conferences!" The president was also a little embarrassed, and now the frontier of science was still in the hands of Europe and the United States, so they had to follow the habits of the other side.
"But this time it's a lecture at Beijing Normal University!" Lu Qiujian emphasized, and then his words softened a little, "Besides, it's not a difficult thing to do, it's just a matter of adding a few simultaneous interpretations, and those simultaneous interpreters must all know Chinese, right?"
The principal pondered it carefully, and felt that what Lu Qiujian said seemed to have some truth, so he discussed it with them, and finally agreed, "Then when they arrive, you have to go and help at any time!
25,000 plus more, there are still three and a half hours left before the shelves, ask for support.
