Chapter 236: The First Goddess of the Tea School
was asked for an autograph by fans in public, no matter how attractive the girl was, Song Baojun was so happy in his heart that he smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, I didn't have a pen." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't think you have any paper and pen with you. ”
The girl immediately changed her tone and said, "Is it okay for me to take a picture with you?"
Song Baojun nodded and stood beside the girl, who picked up her mobile phone and took a photo of the two of them, and thanked her repeatedly, her face turned red with excitement.
This sudden episode strengthened the idea of the otaku brotherhood: appearance is not important, talent is the most important weapon to attract the opposite sex. I don't believe you look at Brother Jun's stupid appearance, and there are also fans!
Jiang Yihui sat in the first row, and Song Baojun and others casually found a vacant seat in the second row and sat down. Song Baojun sat behind Jiang Yihui, and Fang Xiaoying was not far from them.
After a while, Zang Xinhong, vice president of the School of Foreign Languages, walked quickly to the podium, first spoke a long paragraph of English to everyone, and then changed to Chinese and said: "Guests, friends, teachers and students, good afternoon. ”
There was sparse applause at the scene.
Zang Xinhong said: "The era we live in is an era of great cultural integration, from American jeans to English pop songs, from French luxury goods to Italian fashion week, has traveled all over the world, and the process of globalization cannot be violated." The Silk Road in China's history, Xuanzang's learning from the scriptures, Jianzhen's eastward journey, and Zheng He's voyage to the West are all models of cultural exchanges. In today's era of rapid changes in transportation and communication tools and the integration of the world economy, cultural dissemination and exchange have become a way of life for the inhabitants of the global village. ……”
"Cultural diversity is an objective reality of human civilization and an important driving force for human progress. In the process of cultural exchange, it is necessary not only to overcome barriers and obstacles, but also to transcend the shackles of different ideologies and concepts, and even more to overcome all kinds of prejudices and misunderstandings. Differences in social systems, ideologies and development models should not become obstacles to dialogue among human civilizations. Our leadership supports cultural diversity and works to promote exchange and dialogue between different languages. To this end, we invited Professor Exxon Ferdinand from the University of Brinton in New York, USA. ”
"Professor Ferdinand was not only an excellent linguist, but also a very knowledgeable scholar. He has his own unique views on language and writing, and I believe that students in the Department of English have already read relevant treatises and have a deep experience. Now, Professor Ferdinand, welcome. ”
The applause at the scene was even more enthusiastic.
A tall, middle-aged white man should walk up to the podium to applause, looking similar to the one in the poster, with a full beard, a high nose and deep eyes, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and messy flaxen hair that covers his ears.
He was neatly dressed, in a suit and leather shoes, well-dressed, and holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand. Two male students brought a simple blackboard and placed it on his right.
"Dear friends, I am glad that you are here to listen to my speech. ”
Ferdinand paused at this point, and the applause of the crowd rang out again. He speaks in Chinese, with a flat tone and a distinctly large tongue.
Ferdinand waited for the applause to stop and began to get straight to the point: "We all know that English is the most widely spoken second language in the world, and it is also the most widely spoken international language. There is no doubt about the place of English in the world, 60% of the world's letters are written in English, and 50% of newspapers and magazines are in English. English is also the language most closely associated with computers, and most programming languages are related to English. If I were to tell all about its history, I am afraid that there would not be enough time for a whole day. ”
He is not fluent in Chinese, and there are many English words in it, which does not prevent the audience from understanding.
"English is a language of divergent thinking, logical and clear, so for the East, the development of various disciplines in the West is very strong and far-reaching. Because of the pursuit of conclusive and precise words, it is important to learn, communicate and discuss academic and other issues in the relevant professional field in English. However, the ambiguity and arbitrariness of Chinese are large, and it is still difficult to express accurately, and it is still very difficult to create professional academic articles and conceptual expressions applied to science and technology. ”
When Ferdinand said this, Song Baojun couldn't help but nod, and sure enough, he said it very well. And it's a very unique perspective.
A precise expression of the text is an important means of scientific development. This also explains why Western science has always been ahead of the curve. And they advanced the modernization of the country with advanced science, and then occupied the top of the world.
Ferdinand said: "While you are still immersed in poetry and poetry, and proud of the simple and elegant words, the linguistic thinking of the English-speaking countries has pushed the Renaissance and opened up industrial civilization, and you have been left far behind." There is no superiority or inferiority to language, and in terms of ease of use, convenience, and ease of communication, alphabet phonetic writing far surpasses Chinese characters. So I came to the conclusion that if you want to progress, if you want to develop, you have to learn English. ”
There was applause at the scene, Jiang Yihui hurriedly turned back to Song Baojun and asked, "Hey, what do you think, say it quickly!"
"What's the hurry, it's not too late for him to finish his opinion. Song Baojun listened and digested Ferdinand's theory.
Ferdinand said: "The English language has evolved thanks to the French language. French used to be the most evolutionary of the Indo-European languages. Old English is as complex as German - the lower languages have always been more complex, such as Russian - the invasion of Great Britain by the Archduke of Normandy and the introduction of French by the way, so that Old English began to integrate and develop, and then to advance. Of course, English is now the fastest evolving language in Europe, approaching the highest level of linguistic development: analytical. ”
There was a girl in the third row who raised her right hand high, a member of the Xiangwu Yunqi Literary Society.
Ferdinand ignored the girl and continued: "It can be said that most of the advanced languages in the world have developed in the direction of analytical, such as French, such as Bulgarian, and their declension rules have been greatly simplified. ”
The girl was still holding her right hand high, and Ferdinand finally stopped, smiled and asked, "Do you have any questions about the lady in the red coat in the third row?"
A staff member handed the microphone to the girl.
The girl said: "Hello Professor Fei, English is still developing towards analytical, and Chinese has long been analytical, the highest form of language, what do you think about this?"
Ferdinand listened carefully to her speech and smiled: "As for what is the highest form of language, there is no consensus in the academic circles so far. Inflection language also has its high-level level, and analytical language also has low-level places, and now the world's languages have shown signs of integration, and it is difficult to say which is better or worse. Your question is good, please sit down. ”
A student sneered at the girl: "What messy problems, don't show it?" We can't face up to the backward status of Chinese, and if we don't pay attention to English education, our country will never develop." ”
Several other students laughed along, all of whom had booed Jiang Yihui when she entered.
Ferdinand said: "I think Chinese puts the meaning of words more on class divisions, and by extension, there are all kinds of complex identities, such as uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, cousin, etc., and only one 'uncle' is needed in English." So many words that don't mean much help to carry science. Only English can carry the past, present and future of science. ”
"I disagree. Song Baojun suddenly got up and said loudly.
The eyes of more than 400 people in the audience all looked at Song Baojun, and someone shouted: "Don't interfere with Professor Ferdinand's speech!"
Someone else shouted: "If you don't accept progressive ideas, you must be the moths of the Chinese department, let him get out!"
The staff didn't know whether to kick him out or pass the microphone to him to speak.
Fang Xiaoying smiled coldly.
Song Baojun stood proudly, looked around the scene, his eyes turned around in the No. 4 auditorium, and fell on Professor Ferdinand again.
There was a lot of noise everywhere, and it seemed that all the listeners were enraged by this deliberately troublesome student.
Despite the chaos of the scene, Song Baojun still heard a "huh" sound from the northwest corner very clearly.
The voice was all too familiar, and he immediately turned back to find the source of the sound. Passing through the crowd of black oppression, he immediately captured that beautiful and refined face. A pair of clear black eyes on the goose-egg-shaped plump and white face are as clear as two pools of water. Her eyelashes are long and dense, covering her eyelids softly, blinking slightly with the opening and closing of her eyelids from time to time, making people feel a pure feminine beauty.
That is Yuan Shuang, known as Yuan Shuang, the first goddess of the tea school.
Song Baojun's face, which was still smiling, suddenly turned cold.
Yuan Shuang was also surprised, and couldn't help but turn her gaze away, followed by a slightly disordered heartbeat.
Yuan Shuang studied in the School of Business Administration, and the content she learned had a lot of English terminology, and it was not good to pass the English language. She also started paying attention to today's speech a long time ago, and she came over to listen to it.
Yuan Shuang came with several sisters in the academy, all of whom were carefully dressed. Greased and powdered, eye-drawn thrushes, green jackets and red pants are fashionable, as if they are not here to listen to a lecture but to attend the fall fashion show of Chaju University.
Being able to meet Song Baojun here, Yuan Shuang was very surprised. In her impression, although Song Baojun is full of sincerity, he can't help but not learn and have no skills, he will only be addicted to computer networks, stammering in speech, and often not reaching the meaning of words.
The current Song Baojun is cold and calm, and his eyes always reveal a cynical smile, which Yuan Shuang could not imagine. (To be continued.) )
