After making an appointment to play with the Guangdong Provincial University of Technology team, Yang Guo was looking forward to the arrival of the weekend, and even when he went out to exercise in the morning, he also took a basketball to play two laps, which was quite like sharpening knives and feeling like pigs and sheep.

However, before the weekend, he received a call from Yiyan.com, and the caller was the customer service girl from Yiyan.com last time.

When he picked up the phone, Yang Guo's heart jumped wildly!

"Mr. Yang Guo, first of all, congratulations to you, you successfully passed our last round of assessment." The voice of the customer service girl was also very excited, and when she said this, she paused, but Yang Guo had already fallen into ecstasy.

Was it really successful? Yang Guo couldn't believe his ears.

Because although his translation ability is said to be one of the best in Xinda Company, after all, he has not translated any books, and his works have never been tested by the market.

It's amazing! Although Yang Guo is very confident in his ability, the feeling of being recognized by others at this moment is simply so good!

This is probably the closest he's ever gotten to his idol, right? Yang Guo didn't know what to say anymore.

The customer service girl continued: "In other words, you have been selected as one of the translators of our biography of Steve Jobs. Next, we need you to sign a translation contract with us and sign a new confidentiality contract......"

"Wait, trouble, wait," Yang Guo interrupted the customer service girl, his brows furrowed, and he asked suspiciously, "No, did you just say that one of the translators?" Could it be that there is another translator other than me who has been elected? ”

The customer service girl flipped through the form in her hand and replied, "Yes, Mr. Yang Guo, there are four translators who have been elected, do you have any questions about such a result?" ”

Absolutely! Yang Guo roared in his heart.

It's not a single translator, forget it, a book finds four translators, what's the matter?

What Yang Guo didn't believe the most was the team translation! I used to do a similar project in college, where several people translated a material together, but when I saw the teacher's expression when I gave the grade, it was really reluctant! In retrospect, that translation could have been thrown into the water.

The first problem with team translation is that the level of several people working together will be uneven, so there will be a large gap in the translated text after summarization. Of course, this time there are so many people for Dongxin Publishing House and Yiyan to choose from, probably there will not be too much gap.

Secondly, each translator's translation style is different, some people like to be more straightforward, and some people prefer to be a little more literary; Some people like to change the style of the original text, while others like to follow the author's expression; Some people translate with a strong translation accent, some people like to use our easy-to-understand language style when translating, and so on. These differences are universal, not just because of the different language education received, but also because of everyone's preferences.

Maybe the translators who have worked together many times can achieve similar styles, but this time the four translators are all unknown, and Yang Guo does not know a little about them.

Yang Guo asked suspiciously, "Why are there so many four?" ”

The customer service girl explained: "Because this book needs to be translated with a lot of words, and the time is relatively tight, it requires the cooperation of multiple translators to complete. ”

"This can't be done," Yang Guo shook his head, "Can't I turn it over alone?" I'm very fast translating. ”

"Uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Yang Guo, I don't have the right to make such a decision. This project is really important, and we can't afford to be careless. You can think about it again, in fact, four people are also very good to translate, you don't have to work so hard, everyone works together to complete such a book that is destined to attract the attention of the whole country, how rewarding it is! Right? The customer service girl is trying hard to persuade Yang Guo.

Yang Guo hesitated, but he still couldn't convince himself, he said to the customer service girl: "That's it, you report to the above, tell me what I think, I think such a good book, four people translate together, it is very likely that the final result is not satisfactory, if they still decide to use four people in the end, I am willing to withdraw from this project, although this project is really very important to me." ”

After putting down the phone, Yang Guo lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh, if he couldn't do his best, he didn't want to participate in it and become a member of the destruction of it.

Yang Guo didn't know how much controversy his call caused in Dongxin Publishing House, and several editors-in-chief and deputy editors-in-chief even slapped the table and quarreled. These things happened thousands of miles away, and Yang Guo only knew that the next morning, when he came back from his workout and bought breakfast, there was a woman standing in front of his house.

A very handsome woman!

Twenty-five or sixteen years old, with short hair with bangs, a clean and flawless melon seed face, and slightly thin makeup, his facial features look a little exquisite, and he is also very fashionable in dressing, and his black leather jacket and tight jeans are particularly individual.

At first glance, it is a representative of urban trendy women! Pretty is no longer self-conscious in front of her, and the word "handsome" to describe a boy is even more appropriate.

It's just that such a woman Yang Guo has never seen before, standing at the door of her house with a Gi bag in one hand and a trolley case in the other, what is she going to do?

Yang Guo looked at her in confusion as he walked over with porridge and buns and a basketball.

The woman glanced at Yang Guo very vigilantly, then put down the suitcase with her right hand, took out her iPhone from the bag, lit up the screen and flipped through it.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Yang Guo scratched his sweat-soaked hair and asked.

"This is the thirteenth building of the Jinli Community Apartment, 503 rooms, right?" She spoke with a strong Beijing accent.

"That's right! My home. Yang Guo nodded and said.

"You are Yang Guo?" The woman asked, comparing the phone in her hand.

Yang Guo frowned, thinking, could it be that he ran into a sales pitch? Even his own name has been investigated! But no, haven't I seen any salesman with a Gi bag?

also felt that the woman in front of him, who was not as tall as his shoulders, had no sense of threat, Yang Guo nodded and said, "That's right, I'm Yang Guo, may I ask who you are?" ”

The woman's face finally relaxed, she generously stretched out her right hand, and said, "Great, I finally found you, I am the deputy editor-in-chief of Dongxin Publishing House, and my name is Zheng Yujie." ”

Oh! It turned out to be someone from Dongxin, Yang Guo suddenly realized, and was also taken aback, he only expressed his attitude yesterday, why did someone come over today? He looked at Zheng Yujie's outstretched right hand, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Miss Zheng, let's wait a minute, you see that I have taken so many things now, and I am still covered in sweat, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Zheng Yujie smiled indifferently, then took a step back, Yang Guo hurriedly walked over to open the door, the two of them were about to stand together, Zheng Yujie only felt that Yang Guo's strong manly aura came to her nose, and she quickly took a step back with a red face.

Yang Guo opened the door and let Zheng Yujie in, he put breakfast on the table, and asked, "Is Miss Zheng from Beijing?" ”

"yes, I arrived early this morning." Zheng Yujie stood in the living room and looked at the clothes in the house, and replied casually.

"It can't be that you flew here for my business, right?" Yang Guo laughed jokingly.

"It's not because of you," Zheng Yujie glanced at her and said with a little dissatisfaction, "I also did the flight in the middle of the night." ”

Uh, really! This made Yang Guo a little flattered, although the lady in front of her said that she looked a little young, but according to what she said, she was the deputy editor-in-chief of a publishing house! Let an associate editor-in-chief fly most of China overnight to find him, Yang Guo felt a little moved by her attitude towards doing things and the importance she attached to herself.

Well, of course, it's a little skeptical, and this kind of thing sounds a bit mysterious.

Zheng Yujie turned her head and saw a little doubt in Yang Guo's eyes, she handed Yang Guo a business card of her own, and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you, right?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

It's a bit rushed! Yang Guo didn't mind, took the business card and saw that the gold silk cardboard was very beautifully made, and it was indeed written with the address of Dongxin Publishing House and her title, which should be true.

However, it is really the first time to see such a young deputy editor-in-chief, and listening to her talk, I feel very much like a person with an uninhibited personality, maybe a second-generation official. If so, then it makes sense, but Yang Guo didn't want to dig into it and didn't ask.

"Miss Zheng, have you had breakfast?" Yang Guo asked.

"I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving, do you have fried dough sticks and soy milk?" Zheng Yujie sat down at the table unceremoniously and looked through the breakfast that Yang Guo bought.

This one really doesn't regard herself as a guest anymore, Yang Guo originally just asked politely, but she just sat down like this, okay, who calls herself hospitable? Yang Guo replied honestly: "No, only steamed buns and preserved eggs and lean porridge." ”

She was disappointed and said, "Only buns and porridge?" I don't like to eat. Then he put one hand on the table and dragged his cheeks, tilting his head to look at Yang Guo.

Yang Guo scratched his head and said, "Why don't I give you a note?" You northerners, you should be used to eating noodles, right? ”

"It's okay, you just don't cook instant noodles for me." Zheng Yujie said with a smile.

So Yang Guo took out a tomato and egg in the refrigerator and cooked a bowl of noodles for Zheng Yujie. Yang Guo washed a pair of clean chopsticks and brought them over.

"Miss Zheng, I'm sorry, you came too quickly, and I didn't prepare anything delicious, so I can only invite you to eat noodles." Yang Guo said with a smile.

"It's okay, the old lady eats too much noodles!" Zheng Yujie picked up the chopsticks, smelled the smell of tomato egg noodles, and said intoxicatedly, it was too fragrant, I had never cooked such fragrant noodles when I lived outside before.

"What?" Yang Guo sat opposite her, took himself and drank it with a snort, as if he heard her say something old, raised his head in confusion and asked.

"Nothing, nothing!" Zheng Yujie was too fascinated to see Yang Guo's cooking noodles just now, and she exposed her true nature as a female man without paying attention, she smiled awkwardly and quickly covered it up.

"Hmm, it's delicious!" Zheng Yujie picked up a pair of chopsticks noodles, and it felt very smooth to eat, almost no chewing, just as refreshing as shark fin vermicelli.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly." Yang Guo nibbled on the buns, watched Zheng Yujie eat noodles with staring eyes, and later handed her a soup spoon.
