Chapter 18: Gifted in English

Friday, September 25, sunny.

Tomorrow is the day of the mid-term exams, Longyu Middle School has been completely suspended, students are free to review in the morning, and the classrooms are closed in the afternoon to tidy up the examination room.

There was a sudden commotion on campus.

The square and the river are crowded with people, and the shouts of football fields and basketball courts are shocking.

Of course, this does not include Su Qingzhi.

After experiencing the tempering of five years of imprisonment in his previous life, his state of mind has become quite mature, and he is rarely stagnant by external objects.

Gao Chaoqun hugged the basketball and knocked on the window outside several times, but he was driven away.

There are still more than a dozen people left in the classroom, and there is only one boy, Su Qingzhi, and even Wang Rui, an honor student with strong self-discipline, can't help but devote himself to the indulgence before the exam.

In the morning, he reviewed the three subjects of politics, history, and geography again, and selected key contents to strengthen his memory.

After eating at noon, I wanted to take a lunch break in the dormitory, but Gao Chaoqun organized a card game, and he went out of the dormitory building with his Chinese textbook.

As exams approached, Datou also knew that the students had pressure to release, so as long as they didn't fight, drink, or smoke, he turned a blind eye.

To the east of the school there is an artificial river with fish and lotus flowers, and the banks are planted with irregular willow trees.

Lined with greenery and green grass, this is usually one of the liveliest places on campus.

But because of the hot weather in the afternoon, most of the students live in the dormitory, so this feng shui treasure is rarely quiet.

Su Qingzhi came to the shade of the trees by the river, chose a place with lush grass, pillowed books, lay on the ground, the autumn breeze came, sending a burst of flowers, and he fell asleep in a short time.

I slept for more than forty minutes.

When he woke up, he went to the river to wash his face, and then began to nibble on a few classical Chinese texts that needed to be memorized.

Due to the raging autumn tigers, the temperature is still maintained around 30 degrees, the weather is dull, the heat is unbearable, the sun sets at less than five or six o'clock, and there will be no one by the river.

This provided Su Qingzhi with an excellent place to read.

He sat cross-legged, his body straight, turning the pages of the book.

He reads books very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance, and he likes to read silently, never out loud.

Many of his current habits have been developed in prison, and these habits, whether good or bad, have seeped into his blood and are difficult to change.

An hour later, he looked up and saw the girl not far away.

Under the shade of the willows, Chu Xin was as quiet as a string of prayer beads, and the autumn wind lifted her long hair, and the picture was very beautiful.

Su Qingzhi looked at it with the eyes of a mature old man, this girl will definitely be a figure at the level of disaster to the country and the people in a few years.

Now, it's a little tenderer.

The strange thing is that why didn't he have any impression of Chu Xin in his previous life?

Su Qingzhi leaned on the willow tree, calmly admiring the girl opposite, it was really eye-catching, relieving eye fatigue......

A woman's sixth sense is quite sensitive.

Chu Xin quickly realized that someone was staring at him, and when he looked up, he saw Su Qingzhi, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Su Qingzhi walked over with a book and naturally sat down next to her.

"How's the revision?" he asked.

Chu Xin said, "It's okay, what about you?"

Su Qingzhi said: "It is more than enough than the top." ”

This answer was unexpected by Chu Xin, after all, she knew Su Qingzhi's academic achievements.

Su Qingzhi asked: "I want to improve my math scores quickly, is there any trick?"

Chu Xin's math scores belong to the top in the school, even if you look at the entire Shangnan City, she is also ranked first, if there are any quick courses, tricks and other methods, she still has more right to speak.

Unfortunately, she shook her head slightly.

Su Qingzhi lamented: "You are a little girl who is so good at mathematics, I am a big man, and I retreat when I see mathematics...... This doesn't make sense, it's a shame!"

Little girl?

Big man?

Chu Xin looked at him very seriously.

Su Qing Zhiqi said: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Chu Xin asked: "Why am I a little girl and you are a big man?"

Su Qingzhi realized that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly measured her height with his hand, and said, "I am taller than you, so I am a big man, and you are shorter than me, so I am a little woman." ”

Chu Xin was not satisfied with this answer, but she did not continue to dwell on this question, but asked solemnly: "Su Qingzhi, do you want to go to college?"

Su Qingzhi was lying on the grass in front of her, Zhang Yixin's shadow appeared in her mind, and she said without thinking: "Yes." ”

Chu Xin asked again: "Then why don't you study hard?"

Su Qingzhi was depressed, looking at the entire Wen first class, it seems that there are few people who work harder than themselves, right?

"Actually, I studied very hard, I just sat in the back row, and you didn't notice. Su Qingzhi told the truth.

Chu Xin pursed his lips, obviously not believing his words.

She put a test question she was practicing in front of Su Qingzhi and asked, "How do you translate this question?"

This is an English-Chinese translation question, the English is—a—greatest—pleasure—to—meet—friends—from—afar.

Su Qingzhi was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "What, you want to be careful about me?"

Strictly speaking, his English can meet the needs of business English, and can even be a simultaneous translator in business negotiations.

"This translation into Chinese should be 'there are friends from afar, and it is very happy', am I right?" replied Su Qingzhi.

Have friends come from afar, are you happy?

Chu Xin read it silently in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, so that the translation would be more original.

She was stumped by this question just now, and she has been struggling with how to translate it more appropriately.

Originally, he deliberately embarrassed Su Qingzhi and encouraged him to study hard, but he didn't expect the answer he gave to open his mind.

"What about this question?" Chu Xin was unwilling.

The question is still translated from English to Chinese, but the difference is from Chinese to English, and in Chinese it is expressed as follows: Part of the reason for their profit growth is the adoption of new marketing strategies.

For students in Chinese mainland, it is relatively easy to translate from English to Chinese, but it is difficult to translate from Chinese to English, which has almost become a common problem.

However, this kind of English-Chinese translation of pediatrics is not even a side dish for Su Qingzhi.

He glanced at it and wrote the English translation directly on scratch paper: The—increase—in—their—profits—is—due—partly—to—their—new—market—strategy.

After writing, he asked, "Is the translation correct?"

After Chu Xin saw the answer, he was surprised: "You...... How did you do that?"

In her impression, Su Qingzhi's English is notoriously poor.

Because some time ago, Mr. Meng asked him to answer questions more than once, but he couldn't even answer the most basic and simple reading words, but now he shows an amazing talent for English, what's going on?

Su Qingzhi sighed: "English is not challenging for me, if I change to mathematics, then I really have to kneel...... Hey, you really don't have a knack for learning math?"
