"Mr. Xu, I've just entered my freshman year, so I didn't dare to think too far. Liu Haohao smiled with some surprise, it was too early for her freshman year to think about staying in graduate school in the future, and she hadn't thought about what to do in the future.

"Four years of hard work have passed in the blink of an eye, and I think you are a good material for academic research, and if you don't stay in school, don't you want to make a contribution to the building of the legal system? What is more important than teaching and educating people in schools and making a greater contribution to cultivating talents?" Xu Hua's admiration was overflowing, "By the way, there is a good way, and that is to go abroad!"

"Going abroad?" she was a little unsure, she had the impression that there had been no international students sent abroad in the past few years, and she had begun to recover so soon?

Xu Hua lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that the country intends to send international students abroad to learn advanced scientific and technological and cultural knowledge, although there is no letter yet, but I think this should be possible." Our school will definitely be able to allocate a lot of places, and it will definitely be sent to those developed English-speaking countries, so the study of English is very important, your foundation is good, the opportunity is great, I think studying abroad to increase your knowledge is a good opportunity, you must strive for this opportunity! ”

Xu Hua said very firmly, and even brought some momentum that was inevitable, Liu Haohao's family background is good, his professional skills are excellent, and his English is good, so the chance of being selected is very high.

Liu Haohao just smiled, didn't dare to say anything, foreign countries are quite advanced now, but many concepts and technologies may not be more advanced than those in China decades later, not to mention that she is studying liberal arts, and she is not keen on studying abroad.

Seeing her disapproving, Xu Hua was a little anxious, "Don't be indifferent, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, you have been in China, no matter how good you are, the space for growth is limited, you must go abroad and see the broader world, in order to have a big picture and a big vision, which will be of greater help to your future life." ”

She knew that Xu Hua was for her good, these were his own experiences, but she did not have the patience to sit in the study, and was more willing to do some real transactional work in the society, even if she chose to stay in school for further study after four years, it was also in order to have a higher starting point in the future to go to the place.

She couldn't bear to brush off the old man's kindness, so she changed the conversation and led the topic to the problem she thought needed to be solved urgently, "Teacher Xu, since the study of English is so important, I have a suggestion, in order to facilitate everyone to learn our professional English, can we find a way to open a legal English course and compile a professional English dictionary." Now we are taking English classes with students from other majors, and we are exposed to some daily vocabulary, and there is no problem in communication after learning, but it is very problematic to read professional literature, English vocabulary is very large, we need to search for such a thick dictionary when reading, and select the words we need, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, reducing our reading efficiency, if there is a professional dictionary, it is more convenient for everyone to learn, and it can also reduce our learning costs. ”

"I have also considered the problem you said before, but we have limited faculty now, if we open a course on legal English, we must write relevant textbooks, and the textbooks of other most important disciplines still need to be revised and improved. We can't even compile professional textbooks, let alone professional dictionaries, and such a large amount of work cannot be done by a few of us with a little time. Xu Hua said with some regret, "Time, time, what we lack most is time! Our discipline is in ruins, there are too many things to do, you are learning, we as teachers must also continue to learn and improve ourselves, we are too far behind, we have to pay several times more efforts than others to catch up." ”

Liu Hao nodded, not only their disciplines, but all walks of life are facing such a situation, the foundation is weak, and the conditions in all aspects are not good, but no one feels discouraged, everyone is full of energy to catch up.

"I'm actually quite curious, I heard that you are from the countryside of Southern Province, you people in Southern Province can't even speak Mandarin well, your Mandarin is not only correct and round, your spoken English is also good, where did you learn it?" Xu Hua looked at her strangely.

"I learned Mandarin when I was a kid with the loudspeakers in the production team, and I like to learn from those announcers when I'm fine. As she spoke, she also learned a sentence from Xu Hua vividly, which made the old man laugh.

"Not to mention, your voice is really similar to those announcers! ”

"English is after I learned the alphabet and phonetic transcription with the teacher, I took the book to memorize the words, and when I was alone, I memorized the text aloud, I don't know if my pronunciation is accurate, but I am bold, no matter how good I speak, I dare to open my mouth, and I may also have our local accent there, which makes you laugh. ”

"Where is the local dialect? I think it's quite standard, there is no southern provincial dialect, and it is really rare to learn this point by self-study. Xu Hua said rarely.

Liu Hao smiled embarrassedly, she is just an ordinary person, she is not a self-taught genius at all, she studied English for more than ten years in her previous life, I don't know how many training classes she has attended, and she also invited a foreign teacher to correct her spoken language one-on-one, although she has not studied abroad, but the spoken language is really not worse than that of those who have studied abroad.

"What about translation? I think your translation is very accurate, and no matter how fast you translate, it is not easy to grasp the original meaning so accurately, even if you are an English major. Xu Hua was more curious about her.

"As for translation, there is a big dictionary here, and anyone can translate it piecemeal, but in grasping the original meaning and sentence polishing, it depends on their own professional understanding and sense of Chinese, and our professional English literature is translated by the layman's English department, and we may not be able to translate it." ”

In the past, there were translators who did not understand foreign languages at all, and they relied on their own understanding to translate, but this is actually a process of re-creation, which is not easy. Xu Hua naturally accepted her explanation.
