Chapter 7: You're a Big Fool
As a person whose soul comes from the 2040s, Gu Cheng is really not interested in language courses. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mainly the translation software of the 2040s is really amazing!
At that time, the translation machine had developed to the extent of real-time simultaneous sound.
In other words, two people are talking with "mobile phones", and what they are talking about is Chinese, and what they hear directly on the other side is English, Fuso, and French......
Because of the extreme convenience of "mobile phones", language differences are no longer a barrier to human communication, and the global population flow has skyrocketed. Immigrating abroad is similar to migrant workers working across provinces.
Because people who speak various languages are highly mixed, any person you meet on the street may not understand the language, so even if you talk face-to-face, you will use your "mobile phone".
The only deficiency of translation software may be the word "elegant" in the three requirements of "faith, reach, and elegance".
Therefore, almost all of the remaining translators in mankind are linguists engaged in literary research, and almost all of these people can write poetry, and when translating foreign literary works, they all seek their essence, which is no less than a re-creation.
Therefore, Gu Cheng's language skills are basically provided by the physical body - Yi and Fusang can cope with daily conversation, and Yi is commonly used and is more proficient. As for English, it is only at the level of the fourth level of the university.
……
Regardless of whether you are eager to learn or not, you still have to take classes.
The foreign language teacher hired by the company, named Akemi Kobayashi, is a woman in her thirties, thin and thin, with short lean hair.
Her teaching is private. Tonight, because it was a temporary extra class, and the other students were not there, the company pulled Gu Cheng to spar.
Akemi Kobayashi secretly had a headache: I don't know what level Gu Cheng is, how can I take this lesson?
She rubbed her temples and said, "Today you will practice speaking, just don't go too far from the topic." I will correct you. ”
It's the equivalent of a free chat.
Quan Baoya was a little shy, and Gu Cheng could only find words: "Why do you want to learn Japanese?"
"Huh?" Quan Baoya was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: It's so insidious! This kind of conversation is obviously more difficult for the person to answer!
"Arnold...... Arnold...... If the president wants to train me to be an 'Asian singer', I must be able to speak Fuso. ”
After stumbling to answer the question, Quan Baoya's eyes were already overflowing with a little anger, and the bulging little mouth clearly said, "Dare to give me a problem again"!
The teacher slowly corrected several minor errors in Kwon's pronunciation and syntax.
Gu Cheng was sweating profusely, and hurriedly changed to a simple one.
"How long have you been studying?"
"It's been more than a year, and I went to Fuso for a summer vacation. ”
THIS TIME, QUAN BAOYA REPLIED VERY NEATLY, AND GU CHENG ALSO SKILLFULLY GOT THE OTHER PARTY'S LEVEL.
"It's still a little tender. It seems that it is necessary to guide the other party to ask more questions, and I will answer, so that the difficulty is more moderate. ”
Gu Cheng pondered for a moment and found an entry point that unfolded along the topic just now.
"If you want to be an Asian singer, what's the use of knowing Fusang alone, at least you have to know Chinese. ”
"Yes...... But the president said that there is no record market in Huaxia, and Fuso's annual sales are five times that of Dongyi......"
There are too many professional words in this sentence, and it is called a stumbling by Quan Baoyana.
"Emma, don't you want to be so honest! Just say 'yes', and I'll play later. Gu Cheng complained silently in his heart, completely speechless about Quan Baoya's cute attributes.
"Well, the problem of piracy is temporary, and it is impossible for Huaxia to have no music market forever, after all, there are more than a billion people there. Moreover, Chinese is much more beautiful than Fusang, even if it is to improve one's creative cultivation, you should learn Chinese. ”
Quan Baoya was immediately fooled: "Is there one? Why do you say that?"
It's good that the Q&A is reversed. Later, as long as you control the "hatred value" on yourself, you can finish two classes.
Gu Cheng was very irresponsible.
"Of course, I admit that the Fuso people are still very good musicians. But have you ever thought about why the music of the Fuso people is so strong? It's because the language is so ugly!"
As soon as Gu Cheng said this, he didn't need Quan Baoya to answer.
Akemi Kobayashi directly blew up on the ground.
"You talk nonsense!"
"What nonsense. Do you think about it, why are Bach Haydn, Beethoven, Strauss, and Mozart Germans, and why are there dozens of times more German musicians than the French in ancient times? It is because German is uglier than French! If a language is too poetic and has a rhythm without music, then of course people are too lazy to study music. Only when the language is too unpleasant and verbose and does not rhyme, people compose music - this is called the blind man has good hearing, and the fat man has a high IQ. When God closes a door for you, He will surely open a window for you at the same time. ”
Who said that Fusang has no poetry, and there are so many waka songs in the "Ancient and Modern Songs", aren't they also poems?"
"Waka is also called poetry, do you know what 'Chinese poetry and song' is? Chinese is called poetry, and Fusang can only be called song. Not to mention that the pronunciation of Fusang can't suppress the rhyme, and even the number of syllables in each sentence is not accurate, and it is already very face-saving to count as a 'word'. ”
Kobayashi Akemi was shocked by Gu Cheng, and she didn't know how to defend herself at all.
The translation software of 2040 is so awesome, what can the only remaining foreign language classes teach? There is no doubt that the foreign language courses at that time were infinitely close to the "history of foreign cultures", specializing in teaching the comparative analysis and comparative advantages of various languages and literatures.
It was the last remaining linguist of mankind to make his last struggle to avoid being obsolete. Other foreign language professionals who are a little more watery have been eliminated by the machine and changed careers.
So don't look at Gu Cheng in later generations who don't learn foreign languages much, but if you let him talk about the advantages and disadvantages of various languages, even if you find an old professor from Beijing Foreign University, you can't talk about him.
Akemi Kobayashi was just a practical speaking teacher, so she naturally lost immediately.
As for Quan Baoya, she only needs to make a sound like "search for dead milk" from time to time next to her, and make a Daigo empowerment, this class is simply not too easy.
"The content of one tone in Chinese requires an average of two tones in English and French, and an average of three sounds in Fusang. So Chinese is the most condensed language on earth. In the future, with the further development of computer technology, human text input will enter the age of speech, and Chinese will properly explode other languages......"
Gu Cheng didn't care whether there was voice input in 2000 or not, and ran the train with his mouth full.
Even Quan Baoya was afraid that Gu Cheng would offend the teacher too hard, so she couldn't help but interrupt him.
"What about our Yi language? Isn't Yi language the same as Chinese, with one word and one sound? Will Yi language be the second best language after Chinese in the future?"
"Yiyu...... No way. Gu Cheng interrupted the little girl's fantasy very bluntly, "For example, have you noticed that when you Dongyi people speak, your expressions and tones are always exaggerated and dramatic, and you like to interject." ”
In real life, the style of Dongyi people speaking is definitely not as orderly as what Chinese people see in Yi dramas. It's the same as buying vegetables in the vegetable market, a bunch of people are talking at the same time, and interjecting and interrupting are the norm.
And the tone is exaggerated, just like having a mouthful of hot water in your mouth and burning to death at any time.
The reason why you don't need to interject when talking in TV dramas is because the script is rehearsed.
Gu Chengyi said that the two women found out that this was indeed the case.
"Why is that?"
"Because when Yiyu simplified the Chinese characters into pinyin characters one by one, they removed one, two, three, and four sounds, and they didn't even have ping. So the problem of homophones is four times more serious than in Chinese. When you speak according to the Chinese language habits, the ambiguity is particularly obvious: so many times, it is not that you want to interject, but that you have to interject to confirm the meaning of someone before you hear half a sentence, and then you can continue to talk. This kind of language, in the era of voice input, the recognition rate should not be too pitiful. ”
Quan Baoya was very disappointed when she heard that her native language was spoken so spicy: "Is Yiyu as bad as you say? At least it's easier to learn." ”
"Yes, I don't deny the virtue of simplicity, but this blind simplification comes at the cost of losing the precision of the language. ”
"Then it's nothing but simplicity?"
Gu Cheng looked at the other party's eyes, and estimated that if he said that Yiyu was really useless, the girl would cry.
Forget it, let's drink it as a stick and give it a date.
"I can't say it's useless. Speech is ambiguous, and it can be beneficial in certain situations. For example, when you are engaged in variety shows, you can use ambiguous gags and amusement to make amusement. Eh, sometimes I think that if I let the Dongyi people learn the cross talk of the Han people, it will probably have a miraculous effect - of course, at least it has to be lip sync. Stand-up comedy, you Dongyi people, don't think about it. ”
……
These two lessons, in the eyes of Teacher Akemi Kobayashi, are proper nightmares!
I actually ran into a student who was full of crooked reasoning and heresies, but he was so capable of talking about it.
As soon as the class ended, Gu Cheng was black-labeled by her, and he was ready to go to the company's management to file a complaint.
Quan Baoya was deeply shocked.
When she was dragged to the treadmill by Miss An for a night run, her mind was full of Gu Cheng's words.
"In order to compose music, you have to learn Fuso. For the sake of variety shows, I obediently use Yi language. In order to compose lyrics, you should learn Chinese. ”
"Well, it's decided, I'm going to be an Asian singer, how can I do it if I don't know Chinese, let's let the company hire another teacher and teach me Chinese." ”
