Chapter 177: Why Me
(A few days of visiting relatives and friends on the National Day, I don't have time to sit down, and I don't have the Internet, I can only take my mobile phone to see, and now I'm back, Xiao Han is here to thank Lixia Da for rewarding so domineeringly, there is a helmsman, Xiao Han can't believe his eyes!) I would also like to thank the many book friends who gave rewards, voted monthly tickets, and recommended votes during the National Day! Although Xiaohan does not have the ability to break out for everyone for the time being, he will try his best to ensure stable updates. PS: Recently, I've been thinking about how to update more for everyone, Xiaohan is trying, and I don't dare to pack tickets, so let's wait for a while~)
The lecture ended with applause, and Professor Anderson stood up and clapped his hands.
Yang Guo saw Uncle Jin in the front row waving to him from a distance, and he smiled and said to Professor Anderson: "Mr. Anderson, let's go over together!" โ
Yang Guo led Professor Anderson to go down, saw Zheng Yujie, and motioned for her to follow behind, to be honest, Yang Guo was a little apprehensive, he didn't know if he would be scolded by Uncle Jin if he took Zheng Yujie down, after all, this was a more serious occasion.
However, he was obviously worried, Yang Guo approached, and Uncle Jin saw Zheng Yujie at a glance, and he said in surprise: "Xiao Yujie? What are you doing here? โ
Without waiting for Zheng Yujie to answer, he shook his hand and said, "I'll tell you later." โ
He turned to Yang Guo and said, "The director of our Department of Education is here, and the leaders of the Foreign Affairs Department are also here, so I will leave it to them now, and you can talk to Anderson." โ
Yang Guo looked up and saw a few people with extraordinary temperaments coming over, so he relayed Uncle Jin's words to Professor Anderson. Professor Anderson was stunned for a moment, but nodded quickly, he was not without dealing with the government, these are common.
Yang Guo was about to follow, but Uncle Jin grabbed him and said, "No need to go, they brought a translator, thank you just now!" โ
Zheng Yujie said dissatisfiedly next to him: "Uncle Xu, you are unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!" I don't have you like this! โ
Uncle Jin smiled bitterly: "I don't want to either!" But that is my big boss, this is unusual today, my big boss, and the leaders of the foreign affairs department are here, and they seem to be very serious, so even the translator has been transferred. โ
"Then why did you look for Yang Guo in the first place?" Zheng Yujie blamed Uncle Jin for Yang Guo's crime of throwing her aside just now, "There are so many people who know English, any one of them is fine, why is Yang Guo!" โ
"Because the foreigner speaks Swedish." Uncle Yang Guo explained that he was very calm, after all, on such an important diplomatic occasion, he was not suitable for an outsider with a child in his arms and wearing casual clothes.
"You can speak Swedish?" Zheng Yujie said in surprise. She had seen the books in Yang Guo's study, but she didn't expect Yang Guo to even learn Swedish.
Uncle Jin only came to his senses at this time, and he asked suspiciously, "You guys, do you know?" โ
"That's right!" Zheng Yujie responded briskly, "Yang Guo is my good friend and my work partner. โ
"Oh!" Uncle Jin suddenly came to his senses and said, "I remember, you are now in Dongxin, and Yang Guo's book is also from Dongxin." โ
Seeing that Yang Guo was a little confused about her relationship with her uncle, Zheng Yujie explained to Yang Guo simply: "Uncle Jin used to be my grandfather's subordinate, and he was also an uncle of mine for me. โ
Uncle Jin looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "That's right, it's good that Yang Guo and I didn't call each other brothers, otherwise, our relationship would be messed up again!" โ
Mo Yan, Professor Anderson, and the director of the Department of Education were not too far away, and some of the contents of the conversation came over vaguely. Zheng Yujie pushed Yang Guo's hand, lowered her voice and asked, "How is his translation?" โ
Yang Guo said: "It's okay." โ
"Tell the truth!" Zheng Yujie twisted Yang Guo's hand, and this small action fell into Uncle Jin's eyes, he was a little surprised, but he didn't break it.
"Normal," Yang Guo had no choice but to say, "Dry, he cut off a lot of modified words directly, but fortunately, the general idea was still translated." โ
"I'm in a hurry to find a Swedish translator, it's good to have such a good one!" Uncle Jin smiled.
"Hmph, it's not as good as Yang Guo anyway!" Zheng Yujie is still worried about this matter.
"By the way, Xiao Yujie, why did you come to Yangcheng?" Uncle Jin asked off the subject.
"Teacher Mo Yan is here," Zheng Yujie said, "We want to win his overseas copyright!" โ
"Mo Yan's overseas copyright is still in his hands? Didn't he just say that his book had been translated? Uncle Jin asked puzzled.
"English has been sold, and there are other languages to come!" Zheng Yujie explained.
Yang Guo and the others chatted for a while, and the Swedish translator came over, looked at Yang Guo a little strangely and asked, "Are you Mr. Leon?" "When he said his name, it was in Swedish.
Yang Guo was stunned, nodded, and said, "I am, my Chinese name is Yang Guo." โ
"Here, Professor Anderson asks you to come over by name." The translator said to Yang Guo, and he nodded and followed up with the uncle.
Yang Guo had no choice but to follow.
Here, the director of the Department of Education looked at Yang Guo's young appearance and holding the child, his eyes were also very strange, he looked at Mo Yan and said, "Mr. Leon, is it?" What's your Chinese name? โ
Yang Guo reported up, looking at this group of people for some reason, and all of their eyes were focused on themselves, which made Yang Guo feel quite strange.
Mo Yan smiled slightly and said, "Just now, Professor Anderson recommended you to me, saying that you are the best person to help me translate my works. โ
"Ahh Yang Guo is even more confused now, translating works, what kind of trouble is this? Didn't you just ask Mo Yan to talk about the nomination?
"That's right," the director of the Department of Education explained, "Professor Anderson just said that most of Mr. Mo Yan's works have not been translated into Swedish, and he hopes that Mr. Mo Yan can provide Swedish translations of several masterpieces for the jury to review, we feel that the time is very tight, and there are not many Swedish translators in China." โ
Yang Guo turned his head and asked Professor Anderson, "Thank you for your recommendation, but why me?" โ
Professor Anderson smiled and said to Yang Guo: "Because you have a deep attainment in the field!" Not only are you familiar with Sweden, but you also have a deep understanding of Mr. Mo Yan's work. I saw that from the time you first translated the lecture for me. โ
Professor Anderson spoke to Yang Guo, and the Swedish translator followed along with the others.
Despite this, the director of the Department of Education said to Mo Yan: "This matter is very important, and Yang Guo is still so young, I think we still have to think about it carefully." โ
Mo Yan didn't answer, he looked at Yang Guo, smiled and said, "Just now Professor Anderson said that you know my work very well, can you answer a few of my questions?" โ
Without waiting for Yang Guo to agree, he picked a few questions to test Yang Guo.
Yang Guo replied calmly, and he also expressed his admiration for Mo Yan, especially when he read his short story called "Boat", which reminded him of the short stories written by Mr. Shen Congwen in the thirties, which were concise and concise, but whimsical and imaginative!
After listening to this, Mo Yan glanced at Yang Guo deeply, pondered for a long time, raised his head and said, "Yang Guo, I want to invite you to translate my "Fatigue of Life and Death", I don't know if you are willing?" โ
(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, let's take a ticket and smash the cold door!) โงโฝโฆ๏ผ
