Chapter 1406: Imagination
A long time ago, Yang Rui spoke Chinese in formal occasions.
This is nothing special, many people are like this, for example, leaders who have studied in France will not say "stupid" to greet French people.
The best thing about using this Chinese language is that there is a translator to help filter the language, too emotional language, after a layer of translation, it will become rational and cautious.
Even if there are inadequacies, it is okay to let the translator take the blame, right?
Bringing an interpreter with the leader is like bringing a firewall.
But in Sweden, the situation has changed.
There are so many languages that people understand!
Sweden is traditionally multilingual, and Swedish is a native language that everyone must know. English as a second language is also understood by anyone who has read the book. Because Sweden has a small population and a high level of education, French, Italian or Spanish is often a hobby.
In addition, Finland was split from Sweden and the Finnish language remained in Sweden. Danish and Norwegian, on the other hand, are similar but different, they are in the same language family as Swedish, have different pronunciations and writings, and are considered different languages - in fact, from the perspective of Chinese, Cantonese and Hokkien are not the same.
In a city like Stockholm, the large number of Finnish-speaking residents has an impact on the people around you. It's not uncommon for Swedes to have a Finnish-speaking grandmother, a step-grandmother, or a third grandmother, and it's normal to learn a language before your grandfather gets divorced, as is the case all over the world.
In the Swedish media world, language flourishes even more.
Knowing a little Germanic or Slavic language is nothing, there are a lot of languages in Asia and Europe waiting to be conquered, such as Arabic in the Middle East, 800 languages in Africa, etc., there is something for everyone.
Yang Rui had just gotten off the plane, and he had not yet escaped from the environment of casually speaking Chinese, and in just thirty minutes at the airport, a large amount of information was leaked.
For the purpose of publicity, Houston did not remind Yang Rui for the first time, and after getting in the car, he showed a smile and said, "Professor Yang, and Miss Jing Yulan, you must be prepared, the media may report on your affairs." ”
"Hey, why?" Jing Yulan asked in English for the first time.
"Among the reporters, those who know Chinese should publish all or part of what you say." Houston replied with a smile.
Jing Yulan was stunned: "Are there any reporters who understand Chinese?"
"There will always be some, even if you don't speak well, you can barely understand it. Houston paused for a moment and said, "Even if there are things that they don't understand too well, they can also take the recording back and find someone to translate it." ”
Yang Rui was also stunned: "There is still such an operation?"
He also said this sentence in Chinese, and the translator agreed to be stunned for three seconds, and said with a gray face: "What does Mr. Yang Rui mean, can it still be like this?"
"Of course, the cameras were far away and the scene was noisy, so you may not have received much outside the scene, but the reporter standing next to you may have a tape recorder. Houston explained with a smile.
"Like Alkman?" Yang Rui asked himself.
It was too long ago to leave the mobile phone recording and video all over the place, and Yang Rui avoided the camera at that time, but forgot that the recorder also had the same function.
But how expensive a tape recorder is, especially a portable one, you can claim to be the latest technology if you give you a big head.
Blank tapes weren't cheap either, and in the 80s they cost a few bucks. In the provincial television stations and newspapers, if a reporter wants to get a blank tape, he has to find a slip of approval at the deputy director level, and he cannot come up with a suitable reason, and he will not be able to share the consumables of one-tenth of his salary.
Of course, reporters can usually use tapes that have been washed out repeatedly, but in this environment, regardless of the quality of the blank tapes that have been washed out repeatedly, archiving is equivalent to consuming the tape.
Therefore, in the absence of a solid demand, journalists will not just record tapes.
However, this is only the case in China, and Swedish journalists clearly do not take such a small amount of money seriously.
In this way, the last ten years will be the last happy decade of celebrities, and by the end of the 90s, when the paparazzi can afford videotapes, video cameras and most importantly, telephoto lenses, the good days of celebrities will be over.
Where can Houston know Yang Rui's emotion, he didn't feel anything, and said: "Not necessarily every TV station has a Chinese translation, but in order to prepare for this ceremony, the Chinese translation throughout Sweden should be concentrated, and they can translate your words in one afternoon at most." ”
"For one person to concentrate the country's Chinese translators?" the translator couldn't help but ask, and quickly shut up.
Yang Rui's English translator was found temporarily, and he usually didn't have this need, but when he participated in a formal dialogue, he asked the deputy director of the Beijing Research Institute to work part-time, who was a translator himself, and he made several biological works used in China in his early years.
However, although Director Zhang's interpreting skills are not bad, the translation etiquette is average, and many times he can't remember that he is pretending to be a translator.
It's just that for a scholar like Yang Rui, it's almost enough.
It's not Stockholm, Yang Rui doesn't even need him.
For Director Zhang, who is nearly half a hundred years old, concentrating the elites of a certain industry across the country to do one thing itself represents the importance of Longlong.
Sitting in the luxury car provided by the Swedes, Director Zhang was inexplicably proud.
Looking at Yang Rui again, he felt that it was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Yang Rui, who was born in New China and grew up under the red flag, received a complete Chinese education and never even went abroad. His award, for the Chinese, the value of improved self-confidence is immeasurable.
This is like the stimulation of the Olympic gold medal to the Chinese before Xu Haifeng's breakthrough of breaking zero.
In that era when they were burdened with the sick man of East Asia, the Chinese, who had never won an Olympic gold medal, always inevitably talked about the physical fitness of the Chinese and put forward various inferences.
If you take the articles of that year to the 21st century to read, it will not be enough to laugh and be generous, and the "generous" people have long been no interested in laughing, and ordinary people are too lazy to refute.
Because the Olympic gold medal is not a pain point for Chinese for a long time, and everyone doesn't even care about how many gold medals a year is. That is, events such as the 100-meter run can also stimulate the Chinese people, but compared with the title of the sick man of East Asia, whether track and field can win is not so important.
The limit of the body can be broken through by the staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives for three months, and the limit of intelligence is not so simple.
The Nobel Prize of Yang Zhenning, Li Tsungdao and others can only be the title of one Chinese Nobel Prize at most, but Yang Rui's Nobel Prize is completely different.
Even as a scholar, Director Zhang knows that it is only a matter of time before China wins the Nobel Prize, but when is it, 30 years, 40 years, or 100 years?
During this period, how many articles will be written by primary school students, middle school students, college students, and social commentators critics to denounce Chinese education?
"Get out of the car in a while, you can call home, and I'll talk with you." Yang Rui spoke to Jing Yulan, interrupting Director Zhang's reverie.
Jing Yulan's face flushed and nodded slightly.
"The report from Sweden used to be estimated to take a while to return to China, but now it will be soon, don't be in a hurry and make your family unhappy. Yang Rui admonished more, and said, "I don't know if Uncle Jing knows about it, will he break my leg." ”
"So you inform him while you're abroad. Jing Yulan smiled at the corner of her eyes and teased.
She didn't have much to worry about notifying her parents or anything.
If you're worried......
Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll also make a call home, and you will accompany me." ”
"Good. ”
So, after Yang Rui and Jing Yulan arrived at the hotel, they rushed to the room as soon as possible and didn't come out for a long, long time.
The Swedish media are imaginative ......
