Chapter 141: Shall We Have Dinner Together?
"Like a spring breeze?" Adjani blinked her deep melancholy eyes and nodded, "It's really a different feeling to describe it like this!"
"English is not very beautiful, if you can understand Chinese, you will understand the different taste." After Walter finished speaking, he touched his chin and pretended to think deeply, "Hmm...... Sometimes, in fact, language is just so peculiar. ”
"Sounds like you know a lot about Chinese?" Adjani was obviously intrigued by Walter's words, and asked with a smile, Chinese She has only heard a little, there are still a lot of Chinese here in Paris, but she has never learned it, so she is still a little curious." Of course, for Walter an American to be familiar with Chinese, she is not curious, after all, the appearance of the other party is obviously a mixed race with yellow blood.
"It should be not bad, as the two most mysterious languages in the world, although I am not familiar with French, but Chinese, should be proficient after all." Walter shrugged his shoulders and explained, "Of course, this is all because of my maternal grandparents, who I used to spend a lot of time with when I was a child, so I was somewhat involved. ”
"Really?"
"Of course, to be honest, Chinese is difficult to learn, but if you learn it, you can feel the charm of it. ”
"For example?"
"Hmm...... For example, Chinese vocabulary is extremely rich and easy to express, and its expression is strong, incisive, precise, and easy to understand. Let's put it this way, there are many words in the alphabetic language, and with the progress of the times, new things appear, the more new words are generated, which also leads to the new vocabulary has little to do with the original vocabulary, often specifically describing a specific thing, and the alphabet language will spend more words to describe than Chinese. Walter paused as he spoke, and continued: "There is a world-famous Chinese linguist Ji Xianlin who once said, 'Chinese is the most concise language in the world. To express the same meaning, if you want to use 60 seconds in English, 5 seconds is enough in Chinese. This is proof that it is said that the best language is to know without learning, and to learn less and to know more. What is wisdom? This is wisdom, and the mystery of the Chinese language undoubtedly has this excellent wisdom. ”
"Can you be specific?" Wought's eloquent introduction aroused Adjani's strong interest even more, and she asked with a more curious look.
After hearing this, Walter continued to say unhurriedly: "Let's put it this way, Chinese has few words, the composition of characters is simple and scientific, and the glyphs are meaningful. To use the simplest and most objective way to compare the differences between Chinese and alphabet languages, let's take poetry as an example, for example, Chinese poems are very short, and they all have a fixed arrangement, and many things to depict must be expressed in just a few phrases. It may sound perverted, but if you really understand Chinese, you will find the indescribable beauty contained in Chinese ancient poetry that many other languages can't match. ”
"It's really incredible, and listening to you say that, I want to learn Chinese myself." Adjani's surprised tone was filled with emotion, she just wanted to say something more, but suddenly thought of something, looked at the sky and said euphemistically: "I'm sorry, Walter, I have other things to do now, I'm afraid I can't talk to you anymore." ”
"Is it because of the photography exhibition there?" Vought pointed to the location of the photography exhibition behind him.
"Yes, my brother's work will also be on display at this photo exhibition, I can't help but be there, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for me here for so long. Adjani bowed her head, a little embarrassed to apologize, from the time Walter was waiting for her here, she understood that the man in front of her, in order to send her an invitation, how long she had waited for her, after thinking about it, she still added: "If I have the opportunity, I hope to chat with you next time, it is really a pleasure to chat with you." ”
"All right!" said Walter, looking very disappointed, as if he felt sorry for not being able to continue the conversation with the man in front of him, and then saw that he borrowed the donkey from the slope to show his expectation, "then, if you may, beautiful lady Isabel Yasmin Adjani, may you invite you to have dinner with me to-day or to-morrow?"
"Have dinner together?" Adjani looked at Walter with a smile as if she thought of something, and said, "Don't you think this is a bit abrupt, Walter?" Indeed, even if a normal man has a love for himself, he will not invite himself to dinner the first time they meet, or dinner, after all, the meaning of dinner has a lot of meaning in France.
"Hmm...... Perhaps a little, but if I had not done so, I would have told myself that you are a fool when you have spent the morning waiting for that beautiful woman named Isabel Yasmin Adjani to meet you again, and you don't even have the courage to invite her to dinner with you! Therefore, even if you refuse, it doesn't matter, but I will certainly not hesitate to do so. Walter said very seriously, then looked at Adjani with expectant eyes and said, "Then will you refuse, Adjani?"
"Well......" Adjani originally wanted to refuse, after all, the other party was just someone she had just met, but after thinking that the other party had waited at the door of the photography exhibition for herself for a long time, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and said after a little thought: "I'm sorry, I have a performance task tonight and tomorrow night, if I can, how about noon tomorrow, I choose the location, this meal is considered my sorry for waiting for you for so long in the morning." ”
"This ......" Walter just wanted to say that it would be okay in the next few days, but finally nodded and smiled: "Of course, it's an honor to have lunch with you." ”
"Okay, see you tomorrow at noon in front of the Grand Theater, goodbye!"
"Okay, goodbye!"
Looking at Adjani who walked into the photography exhibition in front of him, Walter couldn't help but sigh in his heart that she was really a smart woman, after all, she just wanted to use her apology for waiting for him for a long time, so as to invite her to agree to dinner, obviously showing her liking. But in order not to make herself sad, and at the same time to show her apology, she changed it to lunch and invited her to a treat, which was undoubtedly a refusal, and sure enough, like later, he was a low-key but smart actor.
It's just that you can really get away from me? You know, the partner you want to choose is not a good person...... Walter thought with a smile on his lips.
