Chapter Twenty-Three: Crooked Nuts
The big sword is not, the diorama is real.
Reform refers to internal reform, and opening up refers to opening up to the outside world. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, the central authorities have successively opened several pilot special economic zones and treaty ports along the southeast coast.
Suspicion of this red country, which has been excluded by all Western countries, is something that all Westerners cannot avoid. So when news about it spread around the world, the first Westerners to test the waters were not the businessmen who had always been known for their boldness.
The place where Cui Hongzhong took Zhao Lin was one of the places that was specially set aside for these people to see.
Western tourists who have come from Xiangjiang can only browse the planned route, but this has already made their hearts flutter, the camera negatives are flashing like no money, and they are whining and screaming at everything, a picture of the world that has never been seen.
"Well, I've never seen so many foreigners. Cui Hongzhong said proudly, "Let's go, I'll open your eyes." ”
Cui Hongzhong has always been unable to learn English, and he memorized a thick book of words, but it was finished as soon as he opened his mouth. His accent is too strong, let alone communicating with foreigners, even the teacher who taught him can't understand what he says.
Cui Hongzhong, who has always been superhuman in his studies, was depressed about this, and suddenly discovered a new world during a run.
On that occasion, he happened to meet a group of foreign tourists who had come from Xiangjiang to open their eyes, and the tour guide was probably frightened by the propaganda of the reactionaries, and coaxed these uncles all the way to go back early, for fear that they would be eaten alive by the people here if they were not careful.
The reason why uncles are called uncles is because they get angry when they don't get what they want. Seeing that the little tour guide was about to cry, Cui Hongzhong stepped forward and helped the little tour guide solve the problem. He first explained the policies to the tour guide in Chinese, and completed the first Sino-foreign exchange in his life in English.
After that, he ran here to find someone to practice speaking when he had time. It's strange to say, after really facing these blondes and blue eyes, Cui Hongzhong's spoken English suddenly opened up, not only the pronunciation problem was solved, but even the accent changed more amazingly.
Not only the New York dialect is spoken, but even the London dialect is similar. As if possessed by a ghost, in a year's time, the spoken language of this goods far exceeded that of the little tour guide in Xiangjiang.
"Bruce, welcome to China again!" Cui Hongzhong shouted exaggeratedly, stretching out his arms to a group of Caucasians.
Hearing his call, a big man rushed out of the group of blonde hairs with cameras and a big man hugged Cui Hongzhong and shouted, "I want to kill you!"
made Zhao Linhan shudder.
"Let me introduce you, this is my junior brother Zhao Lin. Cui Hongzhong introduced to Bruce with a red face, "You won't see me here in a few months, and you will find him when you come to China in the future." ”
Bruce shook hands with Zhao Lin, and when he saw that Zhao Lin didn't speak, he thought he couldn't understand, so he twisted and asked, "I hope his spoken language isn't as bad as you were then." ”
After the two laughed, Bruce then asked, "Are you graduating?" ”
Cui Hongzhong said proudly, "Yes, there is still a year, but we are afraid that we will meet again in your country, I have obtained the qualification for a publicly-funded study tour, and I hope to see you coming to pick me up when I get off the plane." ”
"Definitely!" Bruce patted his chest, "even if I skip class, I'll let you see me as soon as you get off the plane, I owe you so many times, and I'll make it up to you when the time comes." ”
"That's great, I'll have to buy a loose belt and eat you well!" Cui Hongzhong quipped.
When Bruce first came, Cui Hongzhong took him to eat all over the streets of Guangzhen, and cracked the belt that Bruce was propped up, this unique joke between two people can bring people closer to each other.
The two quickly left the group shoulder to shoulder, and were amazed by the group of crooked nuts who had never seen the world. It turns out that in this wild land, there is also a person who can speak the language of a civilized country.
"I think it's better for you to bring some dry food, the fried chicken burger sandwich isn't as delicious as our food here. Zhao Lin was slightly embarrassed by a group of blondes and blue eyes, and said, "It's been a long time, I'm afraid you have to change to a shorter belt." ”
Bruce laughed and said, "Lin, you're so right. If you talk about food, it's still better here. I've been saving up for a long time just to be able to eat a bite of authentic Chinese food!"
Zhao Lin can report the name of the dish in English, how can it be compared to Cui Hongzhong, a pseudo-master, in a blink of an eye, he took over the initiative of communication, and talked with Bruce about the similarities and differences between northern and southern Chinese cuisine.
Cui Hongzhong looked at Zhao Lin, who was talking and laughing with Bruce, as if he was ghostly, and he didn't understand what was happening.
How could a high school graduate who came out of a much more closed place than the south speak so fluently? He braved the wind and rain to accompany these foreign devils to chat nonsense for more than a year, and he was just able to disguise his accent problem.
Moreover, the sentence structure when communicating is still dogmatic, and you have to react to a sentence that violates the grammatical structure to understand its meaning. It seems that there is no problem in communicating with these foreigners, but in fact, every conversation has to be carried out with a good spirit. Kan Dashan, who is as relaxed as Zhao Lin, doesn't know how long he will have to practice.
"Hong, your little junior brother's spoken language is so good, it makes me feel like home. Bruce and Zhao Lin chatted for a long time before they reacted, this newcomer didn't talk like a Chinese at all, and he didn't realize that he was chatting with a Chinese just now.
Cui Hongzhong said with difficulty: "Our students are all working hard, and you will definitely see more and more people who are stronger than me in the future." ”
"Senior brother is right, English is just a way of speaking, no different from our dialect, just talk more and listen more. Zhao Lin paused, and added, "It's nothing." ”
Dialect is nothing? Lao Tzu was so embarrassed to die for this back then, what you say here is nothing!
Cui Hongzhong can't wait to take Zhao Lin's brain out to see how different everyone's brain circuits are.
Cui Hongzhong was cited as a confidant just because he could satisfy Bruce's understanding of China.
Zhao Lin is different, whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the sea, as long as Bruce can make a start, Zhao Lin can break with him, if it weren't for Zhao Lin's lack of understanding of international current affairs news, Bruce would have thought that he was an elite nephew from a big family in Hong Kong.
