From a distance, Ye Zhenzhen saw Nan Zhiqiao and the others slowly approaching.

Nan Zhiqiao saw Ye Zhenzhen, nodded slightly, and at the same time, glanced at the two small houses with glass windows and wooden doors opposite the main podium in the conference hall, which were the places where the simultaneous interpreters stayed when they were doing simultaneous interpretation - the simultaneous interpretation box.

Ye Zhenzhen immediately understood what Nan Zhiqiao meant, and stretched out her right hand to make an "OK" gesture.

The corners of Nan Zhiqiao's mouth curled slightly, passing by Ye Zhenzhen, an old man with a beard in the foreign expert group was the most eye-catching, the old man was Professor T in the French Pasteur Institute, and Ye Zhenzhen's mentor during the joint training in Paris.

When Professor T saw Ye Zhenzhen, he was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Ye Zhenzhen, glanced at the work card hanging on Ye Zhenzhen's chest, and asked with a smile in French, "You work for the CDC in China?"

"Yes, I have only been working for half a year, and I am in Senior Nan's laboratory. Ye Zhenzhen replied while glancing at Nan Zhiqiao who was standing aside from the corner of her eye, thinking to herself, Professor T must not ask about his sudden departure from the Paris Pasteur Institute.

Nan Zhiqiao just smiled, and didn't plan to help Ye Zhenzhen speak, but fortunately, Professor T didn't ask, but just said very encouragingly, "Well, that's good." ”

After speaking, Professor T and Nan Zhiqiao and others entered the first row of the expert group and sat down.

Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and Liang Chen, who had been following Ye Zhenzhen, stepped forward and asked, "That bearded foreigner, do you know?"

"Well, my mentor in Paris, Professor T. Ye Zhenzhen replied, but her eyes were fixed on the front row of the rostrum.

Liang Chen also stared at Professor T on the rostrum in the front row, and after a while, he said, "Why does it look so familiar?" Oh, I remember, this Professor T seems to be a friend of the Qiao family. ”

"How do I not know? Ye Zhenzhen asked in surprise.

"Didn't Zhi Qiao tell you? It's okay to say it's a world friend, and it's also a relative, and this Professor T seems to be the cousin of the husband of Zhi Qiao's grandmother's sister, huh...... It seems to be such a relationship. ”

This complicated relationship! Ye Zhenzhen was a little confused, such a distant relative, Liang Chen actually knew about it.

Ye Zhenzhen was extremely surprised at first, but remembered that Nan Zhiqiao had said that when he was a child, his grandmother was a university professor back then, and she also had the experience of studying abroad, so it seems that it is possible to be related to Professor T.

Soon it was half past eight, Ye Zhenzhen sat back in the staff row of the conference affairs group, and Liang Chen also found a place to sit down in the back.

After the brief speech at the opening ceremony of the academic annual meeting of the center leader, Nan Zhiqiao began to report, the content is about several pathogens of zoonoses, both domestic epidemic analysis, and international anti-epidemic work situation, both on-site research and laboratory analysis, a report came down, the audience was silent, the report ended, two foreign experts and a student, asked a few questions, Nan Zhiqiao answered, and the second report began.

The second lecture was given by a professor from the University of Maryland in the United States, who gave a presentation in slightly dialectal English and translated it into Chinese simultaneously, and everything went smoothly.

Halfway through the second presentation, Nan Zhiqiao found Ye Zhenzhen and asked, "What about the French simultaneous interpreters?" The third session is Professor T's report, and the simultaneous interpreters should come here at least half an hour in advance to prepare. ”

"I just called five minutes ago and they were on their way and there soon. ”

"Call again to confirm. Nan Zhiqiao ordered.

Ye Zhenzhen took her mobile phone and dialed the number of the French interpreter again, and dialed twice, but there was no answer.

Both of them began to be anxious, Ye Zhenzhen dialed the number again, dialed three more times, and the mobile phone was finally connected, but the person who answered the phone became a girl.

The woman's slightly hurried voice brought bad news that two French interpreters were seriously injured in a taxi accident on the viaduct......

"Car accident! Senior Nan, two French simultaneous interpreters were hospitalized in a car accident, and they can't come, and it's too late to find a simultaneous interpreter now......"

Ye Zhenzhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but Nan Zhiqiao calmly took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and two seconds later, the mobile phone was connected, "Is Dean Gao here?"

"When is his surgery going to end?"

"Not sure? at least an hour...... That's it. ”

Nan Zhiqiao hung up the phone, it seemed that the search for emergency foreign aid failed, Nan Zhiqiao took Ye Zhenzhen's hand and asked, "Have you read all the information reported by Professor T?"

"Well, I did. ”

"Okay, you come with me to be the simultaneous interpretation of Professor T's report. ”

After Nan Zhiqiao finished speaking, he pulled Ye Zhenzhen to the simultaneous interpretation box at the back of the conference hall.

Ye Zhenzhen was even more panicked, "I do simultaneous interpretation? No, no, my French level is okay for daily communication, and I can't do simultaneous interpretation." ”

"It's okay, with me, you just have to cooperate with me. ”

Nan Zhiqiao pulled Ye Zhenzhen out of the lecture hall and asked, "Zhenzhen, where is the information reported by Professor T?"

Ye Zhenzhen took out a small USB flash drive from her pocket, "It's all here." ”

"Two hard copies need to be printed. Nan Zhiqiao took the USB flash drive and saw Liang Chen sitting in the last row.

Liang Chen had already noticed that Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen quietly walked out of the report hall, and when Nan Zhiqiao saw it, Liang Chen immediately understood and ran out.

Nan Zhiqiao stuffed the USB flash drive into Liang Chen's hand, "The information inside, print two copies, be fast!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. ”

Liang Chen ran away with the U, and Nan Zhiqiao pulled Ye Zhenzhen to stand in the corridor outside the door of the report hall, and said in a low voice: "I will tell you a few key points of doing simultaneous interpretation now, you pay attention to it." ”

Ye Zhenzhen was driven to the shelves, but at such an urgent moment, she still stabilized her mind and nodded seriously, "Well, Senior Nan, you say." ”

"Simultaneous interpreting must first have an understanding of the knowledge background of the report, you have been in Professor T's experimental group before, and you have an understanding of all his research, so I won't talk about this. What I would like to talk about now is some basic methods and techniques of simultaneous interpretation. Simultaneous interpretation, i.e., listening to and interpreting, the time difference between the interpreter and the reporter should not exceed three seconds, and some interpreters find it difficult to achieve both form and meaning, in this case, it is necessary to give priority to paraphrasing and quickly convey the concepts and propositions contained in the source language to the audience in concise language. There are also translations, truncated sentences, word preposition, word reduction, repetition ......"

Nan Zhiqiao gave examples one by one, and it took more than ten minutes to say a rough idea, Ye Zhenzhen was also highly concentrated, and she took everything Nan Zhiqiao said to heart.

Soon, Liang Chen ran back with a thick stack of materials.
