There are already neighbors who have come to watch, this is normal, not to mention the countryside, even in the city, the occasional appearance of a foreigner in these years will also arouse everyone's curious eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Li Mo invited them to his home, and now the Li family is better than before, at least they have a decent big table, Li Mo poured them tea, and George asked, "Are you really the author of "Jurassic Park"?"

"George, maybe you have more questions, such as when did I start writing it, why did I think of writing it?

George nodded repeatedly.

"I have written the latter part, so that the book is still missing a preface, and I will write a preface by the way, and explain the ins and outs of the future. ”

"That's for the best. ”

Li Mo picked up the pen and wrote in English:

Hello dear American friends.

Helpless, if you want to make other people's money, you have to say good things about others.

Li Mo continued to write: Since I was a child, some people have said that I am very smart, I don't know if I am smart, maybe I am precocious. I started reading and writing when I was four years old, not your kindergarten, this is self-taught. No one taught me either, because my parents were illiterate. By accident, I came across some knowledge of ancient creatures, and I was fascinated by them. When I was six years old, I overheard the word cloning again, and then I had a whimsical idea at home, what would happen if a scientist cloned these giant dinosaurs and they appeared in front of the world?

I think something interesting must have happened, and that's where the book came about in the first place.

This year I also started reading, not in the first grade, but in the third grade. It was in this year that I wrote this novel in Chinese.

When Li Mo wrote this, he stopped his pen and said to George: "Do you see the first certificate? This is the certificate I received after the first final exam of the last semester, our middle school exam is a 100-point system, I scored 198 points in two subjects that year, and I scored 197 points in the second half of the third grade. My father was illiterate and thought I was one point behind, so he wanted to beat me, so I asked the teacher to come and intercede. ”

"Cake seller, your father must be a tyrannical tyrant. ”

There is no full score in the American exam, it is generally divided into ABCD or ABCDE grades, more than 90 points are A, excellent, if subdivided, more than 95 points are A+, that is, it is very good, so good that it can't be better.

If you get this score and then play it, it is simply unreasonable, and domestic violence in the United States is illegal.

"Mr. George, the national conditions of China and the United States are different, for example, you are white-skinned, yellow-haired, and blue-eyed, and I am yellow-skinned, black-haired, and black-eyed, and you eat with knives and forks, and we eat with chopsticks, so the education methods of the two countries are different, please understand. Let's move on to the topic, you see......" Li Mo ran into the room, moved out the two Chinese manuscripts, and showed them to George.

Where can George understand, he pushed the manuscript to Translator Kim, who spoke Mandarin badly, but he could still recognize a few Chinese characters, he flipped through it, and nodded at George.

"Mr. George, have you seen these drafts? They were a mess of revisions, mainly because I was too young and lacked knowledge. ”

George understood.

"In order to write this book, I deliberately went to Jiucheng that winter to buy a lot of information books and came back to read," Li Mo moved out a large number of information books from the room: "I studied in Chao City, and many information books were brought to Chao City, but I also brought back some of them. But why it was changed to an English novel again, this is what I will talk about below. ”

Mr. and Mrs. Li Guangping and their grandmother also went home, and they looked at George, also a little stupid. I know it's a human, but why do people look so strange? Li Guangping asked Li Mo, and Li Mo said: "He is an American, and he may come to sign a contract with me. ”

After Li Mo finished speaking, he wrote with a pen:

Of course, the novels I wrote at this time were very immature.

Anyway, he is foolish, and it is impossible for this Chinese version of the novel to be published.

However, at this time, I was a year older, and I overheard the news of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our country and the United States, and when I went to the city to buy information books, I also heard about the strength and scientific and technological development of your country. I came up with a new idea to structure the story in your country, and only your country can take the lead in making a major breakthrough in cloning technology.

When George saw this, a proud expression immediately appeared on his face. He's all like that, think of which American readers.

I've already set the story in your country, so why not write it in English. Dear friends in the United States, you may not know how difficult this idea was for me a few years ago. Because I didn't know anything about English, I wasn't surrounded by anyone who could speak English to guide me. I had to buy back an English-Chinese dictionary, look at the comparison of English and Chinese words, and buy some English-Chinese bilingual novels, and ponder the grammar of English, which was a very difficult time.

Li Mo took out the two English novel drafts again and showed them to George.

This time, George could understand it, although these two drafts were like ghost drawings, but he could see Li Mo's gradual improvement in English.

"Lee, it's really not easy for you. ”

"George, it's harder than you think. ”

Li Mo wrote again:

But my parents were very strict with my education, and our Chinese exam was a 100-point system, and when I was in elementary school, I scored 100 points in mathematics and 97 points in Chinese, which once made my family dissatisfied. In order not to drop my grades, I had to devote more energy to my studies. But if I want to write this book well, there is only one way, endure hardship, endure hardship, endure hardship, and endure hardship.

The situation in my family is relatively poor, in the winter the house is very cold, often because of the low temperature, in the winter, my hands will be covered with chilblains, ten fingers are red and swollen, itchy and painful. Summers are even worse, with many mosquito bites and the heat is too high. It was too hot to stand, so I threw myself into the pond at the door and swam for a while to lower my temperature.

"Is it true that the cake seller is real?" said George.

This is true, but Li Mo deliberately wrote it to sell sympathy.

Li Mo pointed to the sweat on his forehead: "George, don't you feel hot? It's a little better during the day, but at night, it's bad." But I want to take as much time as I can, and I have to use my evening time as well. If you want a taste of the evening, wait four hours and you'll get to know it. ”

"Good. ”

George actually agreed, not because he had good intentions, but because he wanted to get first-hand information.

Li Mo wrote again:

After graduating from elementary school, I took the first place in the county. In junior high school, that is, last year, because of more classes, my grades fell to the third or fourth place in the class. Sometimes I think it would be nice if people didn't sleep, so that I could have more time to write and study at the same time. But the hard work finally paid off, and the novel was finalized after four drafts of revisions, including two drafts in English.

Seeing this, George and Translator Li applauded together.

Li Mo's English writing is just like that, but it is sensational enough, and it deliberately highlights the difficulty of the process, not looking at the preface, it is like watching an American inspirational blockbuster.

Li Mo wrote to the end of the article:

I wrote about some of the immature ideas in the book, perhaps not yet grown up myself, including concerns about technology. But it's for the sake of the story, and I'll say it here, I think humans were put on this planet to do something, but we seem to be doing pretty well. It's hard to say in the future, it's possible to continue to do well, or it's possible to mess up.

George and Lee's translators applauded again, laughing after the applause.

Li Mo wrote again:

Technology is not guilty, just like the kitchen knife in our hands, it can be used to save people and it can be used to kill people. If technology is used well, it can be used for the benefit of mankind, and if it is not used well, it will become a nuclear bomb shadow hanging over our heads.

George clapped again and whistled.

It has nothing to do with China, which is only a medium player for the time being, and this phrase also alludes to the Soviet-American struggle for hegemony, which was the biggest crisis of the eighties.
