Chapter 32: Shakespeare

In the days that followed, Ye Leiyang still lived his own schedule, he didn't go to the class that should be skipped, and he naturally wouldn't go if he shouldn't escape, he was a person who knew what he needed, and of course he wouldn't waste every minute or second of his life.

Since God has given him a chance to start over, and let him use his accumulated wisdom and experience to walk a little faster than his peers, then Ye Leiyang will not waste this hard-won opportunity. It's like a sports race, even if you start much earlier than everyone else, but if you don't reach the finish line, then nothing is meaningful.

Of course, college classes must be boring, and listening to a fifty-minute lecture will often feel boring.

Ye Leiyang's least favorite subject is the appreciation of foreign literature, reading a large number of English books, but also analyzing grammar and the like, he often feels that this is simply useless work that is useless at all, so whenever this time, he usually whispers with Jiang Zhi and Zhao Dongjian, and sometimes it is the two of them who ask Ye Leiyang for the skills of Warcraft Battle.

"Those three boys in the back, what are you doing?"

One day, when the three of them were talking, a stern voice came, Ye Leiyang raised his head, and found that Teacher He Yuanzheng, who was standing on the podium, was looking at his side with a serious face.

The classroom was very quiet, He Yuanzheng was very tall, but his hair was slightly bald, similar to the shape of the Mediterranean, and he was quite majestic when he sank his face.

"Well deserved!" Shao Shuai, who was sitting in the corner of a far away, said in a low voice, how did he see how Ye Leiyang was unpleasant.

With his brows furrowed, Ye Leiyang stood up: "I'm sorry, teacher." ”

After all, it was his own fault first, Ye Leiyang felt that it was nothing to bow his head and apologize, sometimes patience is a necessity of life, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong.

He Yuanzheng frowned, glanced at Ye Leiyang, and said lightly: "You explain to me, what do I mean by what I said just now, ShallIcomparetheetoasummer'sday?" Thouartmorelovelyandmoretemperate:RoughwindsdoshakethedarlingbudsofMay,Andsummer‘sleasehathalltooshortadate:Sometimetoohottheeyeofheavenshines, Andoftenishisgoldcomplexiondimm‘d; Andeveryfairfromfairsometimedeclines,Bychanceornature‘schangingcourseuntrimm‘d; ButthyeternalsummershallnotfadeNorlosepossessionofthatfairthouowest; NorshallDeathbragthouwander‘stinhisshade,Whenineternallinestotimethougrowest:Solongasmencanbreatheoreyescansee,Solonglivesthisandthisgiveslifetothee。 ”

This is Shakespeare's sonnet, and He Yuanzheng doesn't think a freshman would ever hear this. The purpose of throwing this question is also very simple, just to embarrass Ye Leiyang, and then teach him a lesson himself.

Because it was a big class with three classes in the English Department, almost everyone's eyes stayed on Ye Leiyang's body at this time, and everyone was curious about how he was going to explain this passage.

You know, this is not ordinary grammar or sentence formation, Shakespeare's sonnets are very difficult to understand, and many words are definitely not exposed to these college students.

Qian Yu, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and looked at Ye Leiyang with a slight frown, she was very curious, is this guy also proficient in English poetry? If that was the case, she was getting more and more interested in this man.

Even Tang Xin, who had an indifferent face, looked at Ye Leiyang with worried eyes, and she wanted to know if this old classmate, who made her more and more impenetrable, continue to bring some surprises to herself.

The expression on Ye Leiyang's face was very calm, and he looked at He Yuanzheng: "Teacher He, this should be Shakespeare's most famous sonnet, right?" ”

He Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised that Ye Leiyang actually knew this, smiled faintly, and said: "Since you know, you should also be able to translate, otherwise you have nothing to do in my class, which means that you don't respect me." ”

sighed softly in his heart, Ye Leiyang knew that he had hit the muzzle of the gun, fortunately, when he was a screenwriter in his previous life, he was particularly obsessed with Shakespeare's poetry for a while, and he really went out of his way to recite his sonnets, otherwise he would be embarrassed today.

"I would like to compare you to a charming summer day, but thou art more lovely and warm: the wild wind destroys the softness of the May buds, and fades away the summer return day by day: the bright eyes of the sky occasionally shine brightly, but it is difficult to reflect his dull countenance; All the bright colors have faded, and the process is so pale; But you are like an eternal summer, and all the good things will never change; Even death will not dare to be arrogant against you, for you will live forever in the immortal Psalm: and as long as the world lives, you will remain with this Psalm. Ye Leiyang slowly opened his mouth and began to read aloud in a frustrated tone.

Because he was born as a screenwriter, Ye Leiyang's reading level is also very good, and the huge classroom is very quiet, only his voice is echoing.

The expressions on everyone's faces were very strange, from He Yuanzheng, who was a teacher, to Qian Yu, Tang Xin, and other students, everyone looked at Ye Leiyang with disbelief eyes, no one expected that he would really be able to translate this sonnet completely, and he could read it so easily.

By the time Ye Leiyang's recitation ended, the classroom was still quiet.

Shao Shuai watched with some unwillingness as Ye Leiyang became the focus of everyone's attention, and couldn't help but snort: "Who knows if he recited it in advance." ”

He Yuanzheng didn't speak, just glanced at Ye Leiyang silently, and suddenly said: "Todaymarksaprofound, thoughbittersweet, milestoneforallofusaswebearwitnesstobothanendandabeginning." ”

Ye Leiyang smiled slightly: "Today is profound, although bittersweet, the milestone is for all of us to witness the end and a beginning." ”

After finishing speaking, he laughed: "The Prince and Me has always been my favorite work. ”

Everyone was confused, not understanding what dumb riddle Ye Leiyang and He Yuanzheng were playing, only Tang Xin showed a thoughtful expression, she seemed to vaguely guess what was going on.

The originally serious expression on He Yuanzheng's face finally eased at this time, and his eyes when he looked at Ye Leiyang changed from the original sternness to kindness, and he waved his hand and said to Ye Leiyang: "You sit down first, listen carefully to the lecture in the future, don't think that you can understand it after reading it, you know?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the students were completely dumbfounded, why did Professor He's whip rise high and fall lightly in the end, could it be that this Ye Lei Yang was really that powerful?

At this time, I heard He Yuanzheng's voice ringing in the classroom: "All of you here, if anyone can memorize all of Shakespeare's sonnets like this classmate, then I will give him an excellent class at the end of the course." ”
