She unconsciously remembered that on the first night of their date, Song Baojun was standing on the lawn outside the door of the girls' dormitory wearing a brand-new cheap T-shirt bought on Taobei.com, his legs trembling slightly nervously, his eyes wandering, with humility and joy that his dream had come true. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info look really tender, and it is very different from now.

The startled girl next to her shattered her memories: "Yuan Shuang, look, isn't that the boy you cleaned up last month!" It looks silly, but it looks so cute! Isn't he from the Department of Chinese? How dare you disagree with Professor Ferdinand's opinion? ”

"I saw it, please don't scream so loudly." Yuan Shuang replied lightly.

……

Ferdinand always maintained the demeanor of a scholar and smiled, "May I ask what is your name?" He motioned for the staff to hand over the microphone.

"Hello Professor Ferdinand, my name is Song Baojun."

"Then Mr. Song Baojun, I would like to hear your different opinions."

During this time period, it was not Song Baojun who took the initiative to enter the imaginary space to ask the philosophical personality to fuse, but the philosophical personality automatically fused, and a large amount of dark energy filled each of his neurons.

Song Baojun has only had one case of automatic personality fusion before. After that October party, he was tragically besieged by the Iron Celestial Regiment, and his body was in danger, and the violent personality automatically took over the body. The philosophical personality of the present is automatic, seemingly stimulated by Ferdinand's theories.

"I believe that the environment of the birthplace of a civilization will produce different words and vocabulary. It's not the difference between an uncle and an uncle. If a thing is commonly used in this context, it will produce many categories and useful expressions related to it. For example, in China, there are trees, trees, forests, forests, plants, seeds, plants, plants and hundreds of Chinese characters and thousands of words related to them. But in desert areas where vegetation is scarce, such as Egypt, the word for trees is poor. ”

This passage was well-organized and clear, obviously not for the sake of opposition, and the voices in the audience began to become much quieter.

"The Aztecs in Central America had a very developed sacrificial culture, and they also produced a lot of related words. How to kill the sacrificer, how to drip blood, how to dissect, how to sacrifice, how to worship, all have special words to describe it, and it is determined by the environment. ”

"Let's look at the Eskimos who live in the Arctic, who hunt seals for a living, and they have developed quite a lot of related words, such as swimming seals, crawling seals, fat seals, still seals on the ice moss, and so on. This is not possible in temperate regions. ”

Song Baojun stopped talking and saw that the audience began to fall silent.

Jiang Yihui was shocked by Song Baojun's wealth of knowledge and watched him close his mouth tightly.

And her rival in love, the triumphant Fang Xiaoying, was still comfortably crossing Erlang's legs, smiling and waiting for Jiang Yihui's students to make jokes, but at this time, she unconsciously put down Erlang's legs, tilted her ears, and turned into a posture of listening.

Ferdinand gestured to continue, showing great interest in what he had to say.

Song Baojun said: "English also has a similar environment, when the Saxon civilization was formed, peasant breeding played a great role in the survival of the nation, take the pig as an example, the Saxon nation did not rely on pig raising to live, and the pig is also the foundation of the farmer's life and the foundation of social survival." There are a lot of words about pigs formed in English, pig is pig, boar is boar, pig hair is bristle, pork soup is broth, pork is pork, sow is sow, piggy is piggy. You say that there are too many and complicated words in Chinese, and there are many pigs, which are caused by the environment at the beginning of the formation of civilization. The Saxon nation depends on pork for its survival, and the vocabulary of pigs is complex and has nothing to do with science. ”

Many people at the scene were dumbfounded, including many English majors. There are many words about pigs, cows and sheep in English, and many people don't think about it deeply, but they just think that this is a characteristic of English culture. Now when I heard Song Baojun's in-depth explanation, I felt suddenly realized.

A girl grabbed Yuan Shuang's arm and shook it back and forth: "Shuangshuang, your ex-boyfriend is really amazing!" Looking at his stupid appearance, his mind is quite clear. Don't you say he likes to stutter when he talks! How does it sound fluent! ”

Yuan Shuang was unconscious, and his eyes always stayed on Song Baojun, who was like a river.

"The influence of the environment on civilization is far-reaching, and as a result, it has led to changes in culture and language. The same is true of the ancient Chinese language in the inflectional period, a simple example, 骠, 骏, 骓, 骢, 骢, 驷, 驸, 骃......"

Song Baojun said this, holding the microphone in his hand and striding towards the stage. Everywhere they passed, people retreated to get out of the way.

When he was about to arrive on the stage, Professor Ferdinand had already left the podium, and he stretched out his hand to him from a distance and said, "Mr. Song, your speech is very wonderful. ”

"Inspired by Professor Ferdinand, I have a lot of ideas and I want to take this opportunity to exchange ideas with you."

"Gladly."

After Song Baojun shook hands with Ferdinand, he picked up the pen and wrote the above-mentioned words such as 骠, 魓, 骓, 骢, foal, 驷, 驸, 骃 and other words on the blackboard, and then said: "They are all kinds of horses, all of which are expressed in single words with comprehensive language characteristics. Later, the Chinese language gradually evolved and developed more and more powerful word-making ability, and single-word words no longer appeared, and some were even only kept in the dictionary. ”

Ferdinand applauded lightly and smiled: "Mr. Song Baojun, you said greatly, I agree with your point of view, and I apologize to you for my hasty just now." ”

The audience was in an uproar, this guy actually seriously proved Professor Ferdinand's mistakes!

For a while, the audience exchanged heads and discussions, and there was a lot of commotion.

Ferdinand automatically gave up half of the podium and asked Song Baojun to stand next to him so that he could continue speaking.

Song Baojun took the lead and began to talk eloquently as a well-known scholar.

"Because of the division of classes, the identity expression of Chinese is also different, and a title often represents a very complex meaning."

Song Baojun ignored Jiang Yihui's stunned expression on the other side, and said: "A self-proclaimed person can use me, me, and Yu; Humility is called contemptible, mediocre, small, not talented, and below; The emperor used me, widows, and loneliness; The queen mother's widowhood is called mourning. The old man is called the old decay and the old body, the monk is called the poor monk, and the Taoist priest is called the poor Tao. The woman claims to be a slave and a concubine; The dialect is used by me, the official is the minister, the subordinate is the lowly position, and the boss is the main seat...... In all of this, each claim contains different information, and in English there are only i, me, and my. Do you think it can be the same? ”

Jiang Yihui only knew how to open his mouth, and only had one sentence in his heart: This student is really knowledgeable! was refuted in class with the argument of "Pipa Xing", and he lost unjustly.

There was silence for a while, and the members of the otaku brotherhood in the second row applauded first. Especially Tan Qingkai, who was a dog-legged, got up, struck vigorously with both palms, slapped it for a while, and shouted loudly: "Well said!" That's great! It's so philosophical! It's just a lingering March and I don't know the taste of meat! Song Baojun, please accept the despicable knees! ”

Driven by them, there was applause in the fourth auditorium.

Listening to a scholar's live speech is not about how subtle his arguments are and how mysterious his reasoning is, but about the interaction on and off the stage. It's like going to a famous singer's concert, how can it compare to the cleanliness and sophistication of a recording studio? But what fans want is that kind of hot atmosphere with soaring blood pressure, and it doesn't matter if you just sing hoarse or forget to speak.

Here, Professor Ferdinand threw out his arguments, Song Baojun put forward different opinions, and the two sides discussed each other.

The girlfriend next to him grabbed Yuan Shuang's hand tightly and shouted: "Impossible, Shuangshuang, your ex-boyfriend turned out to be a school bully!" You don't like him, do you? Is there still his phone number? I want to date him! ”

Yuan Shuang didn't know what it was like, and said in a low voice: "I forgot his phone number a long time ago, don't ask again." ”

Song Baojun ended this discussion and said with a smile: "Professor Ferdinand, what do you think about this? ”

"I agree with you, but every language has its own unique characteristics, and I think English is the most precise and rigorous language." Professor Ferdinand said: "There is a lot of ambiguity in the Chinese language, which makes it difficult to understand and define science accurately, which has become a great obstacle to the development of the Chinese language. The past is Chinese, and the future is English. ”

"I want to hear about it." I don't know when, Song Baojun has become a high-tech person who stands on the same stage as Ferdinand, and the audience has no objection to this.

Professor Ferdinand took a big sip from the bottle of mineral water and said: "Chinese uses a 'topic-explanation' structure with a large number of verbs omitted, which is different from the 'subject-predicate' structure of English, which linguists divide into 'grammatical language' and 'semantic language'. Western alphabet pinyin script is a typical grammatical language, while square Chinese characters are typical semantic languages. The differences between the two are mainly reflected in the differences in coding methods, structural frameworks and basic structural units. ”

Song Baojun made a posture of listening, and bowed his head politely.

"Grammatical language is the alphabetic script, which is sentence-based, adopts indirect coding, focuses on word order, construction and analysis, emphasizes the master-slave relationship, and is straightforward and thorough. Semantic language is Chinese characters, which are based on words, adopt direct coding, focus on semantics, pay attention to overall comprehension, are simple and implicit, and have great rhetorical charm. ”

At this point, Professor Ferdinand paused for a moment, looked at Song Baojun, and continued: "This kind of structure creates the astonishing beauty of Tang poetry and Song lyrics, but it is also the source of some ambiguity in the Chinese language. The semantics of Chinese revolve around the subject, not the subject. What's more, there is no dedicated subject marker in modern Chinese, and sometimes the subject is lost or the subject and object are confused. For example, I'll give you an example: 'Beautiful women are not allowed to touch' is a big difference between whether beautiful women are not allowed to be touched by others or are not allowed to touch beautiful women......"
