(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~)

When Yang Guo heard this, he was stunned. My heart was full of disbelief: Mr. Mo Yan wanted to find himself to translate his award-winning work "Fatigue of Life and Death"? This is not his best work, but it is also one of the most representative works!

But before Yang Guo could answer, the director of the Department of Education pulled Mo Yan to the side and said in a low voice: "Teacher Mo Yan, the matter of translation is not a trivial matter, you see, do you think about it carefully?" ”

The director of the Foreign Affairs Department also walked over and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xiao Yang looks very young, I think this matter still needs to be done by someone with a little more experience!" I'll help go back and make a report, and ask the ministry to help you contact the old professors in Swedish. ”

"There should be a lot of scholars and experts who can speak Swedish!" The director of the Department of Education said, "In addition to Xiao Yang, we have many better options!" ”

Mo Yan smiled, he thought to himself, if there was a better choice, would it be delayed until now?

Previously, in order to apply for this award, he found Professor Ma Yueran under the recommendation of a friend, he rarely helped others translate the works that applied for the Nobel Prize, but for Mo Yan, he also appreciated it, and specially took out to help him translate his "Sandalwood Punishment" and "Red Sorghum", a long story and a novella, which is already a very helpful help!

There are only two universities in China that offer Swedish language majors: the University of Foreign Chinese and the University of Foreign Chinese of Modu. Moreover, both of them are only recruited once every four years, which shows the scarcity of Swedish talents in China!

How easy is it to find the right translator?

In the past, he didn't think he could have much hope of applying for this award, so after Professor Ma Yueran translated those two works, he didn't continue to look for people. But now it seems that there is hope, and it is not small!

When he heard the news, his already unwavering heart shook again! The Nobel Prize, which no one has won for a hundred years, is also very attractive to Mo Yan himself, and Mo Yan suddenly has the mind to fight again.

At this time, it is no longer appropriate to go to Professor Ma Yueran again, and it is not good for him to trouble him like this all the time, Mo Yan can only find someone else. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs naturally wants to find someone to help through them, and this line is very important, but there are many good works of mine, such as "Life and Death Fatigue", "Frog", "Master More and More Humor" and other short and medium stories are good, and it is impossible to find enough people over there to translate them all.

Moreover, for others, Mo Yan is not very relieved to hand over a work like "Life and Death Fatigue" to them, if the translation is too good, wouldn't it be a failure?

Obviously, the director of the Foreign Affairs Department knows more about the situation of language majors than the director of the Department of Education, he listened to the word "a lot" of the director of the Department of Education, pushed him, and said with a wry smile: "No, there may indeed be a few old professors, but there are not many people in China who can speak Swedish. ”

"Then we have to dig deeper into the talents in this area!" The director of the Department of Education said in an official tone, "This matter is related to the face of our country, and it is not an exaggeration to do it well with the strength of the whole country!" ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs muttered in his heart: "You said it lightly, when you enter the Central Committee, you are mentioning the word "country?" ”

Mo Yan said: "Why don't we also learn about this Xiao Yang's situation?" Let's see if he has this real material, if not, we don't choose him? ”

The director of the Foreign Affairs Department thought that this was a good idea, so he beckoned the Swedish translator named Xiao Liu and asked, "Xiao Liu, do you evaluate, how does that Xiao Yang speak Swedish?" ”

He looked into Xiao Liu's eyes and said solemnly, "Tell the truth!" ”

Xiao Liu understood the purpose of the director asking him this question, he looked back at Yang Guo, looked at his unhindered communication with Professor Anderson, swallowed his saliva, and immediately left behind the trace of jealousy in his heart, and replied seriously: "Yang Guo speaks Swedish very well!" I can't compare. Moreover, I think that in terms of speaking alone, he is the best I have ever met, and none of the teachers in my undergraduate are as good as him. ”

Xiao Liu graduated from the University of Foreign Chinese in Beijing, only undergraduate, but his teachers are also serious scholars of Swedish, which shows how high his evaluation of Yang Guo is!

The director of the Department of Education also beckoned Uncle Jin, although Xu Caijin is the new deputy director, but he has a deep background, and the director of the department also asked a little politely when he spoke: "Old Xu!" What is the origin of that Xiao Yang you found? ”

"Him! One of my neighbors, although he is only an offspring, is still quite optimistic about him! Xu Caijin smiled, "By the way, didn't you buy a copy of "Jobs' Biography" for his child's birthday last time as a gift?" That's what Yang Guo turned over. ”

"Oh! In this way, he is also experienced in translating things. The hall director nodded, and said with a hint of reminiscence. He still remembers the joy his son felt when he received the gift, and the way he couldn't put it down.

Xu Caijin added: "By the way, he seems to be Xinda's gold medal translator!" ”

When it comes to Cinda, the director of the Foreign Affairs Office is familiar with it, and as a leader in the translation industry in Guangdong Province, the Foreign Affairs Office also has a lot of dealings with them.

"Xiao Yang should be a translator, that should be Yao Dehua Lao Yao's person!" The commissioner smiled, "I'll give you a call and ask." ”

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and went to the side to make a call, and after a while, he came over and said, "Lao Yao seems to value Yang Guo, a young man, very much!" He said that as long as Yang Guo is confident, then Yang Guo will definitely be able to do this well! You may not know Lao Yao, he is a very capable person, he never speaks, since he said so today, Xiao Yang must be outstanding! ”

Xu Caijin asked with a smile: "You said that Yang Guo has so much, and it almost makes me dizzy, what is going on?" ”

The director of the Department of Education said with a smile: "That's right, that Professor Anderson came this time to tell Teacher Mo Yan to let him translate several of his masterpieces into Swedish, so that they can be reviewed by those on the jury." ”

"!" Xu Caijin said disdainfully, "Won't all the books for the election have to be translated into Swedish for them to read, right?" That's a lot of work! ”

"It's definitely not going to be all, so this proves that Teacher Mo Yan has a great chance from another aspect!" said the director of the Department of Education.

Mo Yan said: "Because of the urgency of time, the manuscript will be delivered in mid-February (which is different from reality), and there are not many people in China who can do this, if Yang Guo's level is okay, I want to ask him to help me translate a copy." ”

Xu Caijin listened, frowned, and said slowly: "Yang Guo is still young, will he give it to..."

Because this matter is not small, if Yang Guo translates badly, or Mo Yan fails to win the Nobel Prize, it may be a blow to Yang Guo! And he will be questioned for this, and even some irrational people will blame him for his mistakes.

Like Yao Dehua, he is very optimistic about Yang Guo, and believes that in time, Yang Guo will definitely be able to achieve brilliant achievements, but if he helps the seedlings grow now, it will undoubtedly ruin him!

Based on the information he could get, Mo Yan began to have a clearer understanding of Yang Guo. Moreover, Professor Anderson admires it so much, which shows that Yang Guo's Swedish is really good, and he can talk eloquently in his own questions, and the answers are quite in line with his own heart, which shows that Yang Guo has a deep understanding of his works!

The director of the Department of Education has always only suggested, and in the end, Mo Yan has to do it, and he has begun to be firm.

I saw Mo Yan walking towards Yang Guo, holding his hands in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Yang Guo, how have you thought about it?" ”

——————————————————

On the way home, the neon lights of the car had lit up the city, and Yang Guo hugged Qiqi and sat in the back seat of the taxi with Zheng Yujie, looking out through the blurred window.

It wasn't until he got home, Jin ran up with his tail flicking, and Kiki took off her heavy clothes and regained her vitality, that Yang Guo gradually had a little sense of realism.

Today's experience was so fantastic!

He just accompanied Zheng Yujie to listen to a lecture, but he inexplicably became the protagonist!

not only coaxed a Swedish professor dressed as an aristocracy, but was also recognized by a master like Mo Yan and given a heavy responsibility.

Translate 490,000 words in a month! In terms of time and word count alone, it is much more difficult to translate "The Biography of Jobs"! And then he even gladly accepted it!

Maybe it's the devil in my heart who is eager to challenge is doing it! However, it's also good, this is another peak that I want to climb!

Of course, Yang Guo has not forgotten Zheng Yujie's mission! After he agreed to Mo Yan, he immediately introduced him to Zheng Yujie.

Maybe she was too excited today, Zheng Yujie didn't bother too much, and Mo Yan agreed categorically! Regardless of whether he won an award or not, he helped him sell the book overseas, and when he won the award, the share given to him would be automatically exchanged for a higher percentage, and the super lucrative conditions offered by Zheng Yujie were also one of the reasons for attracting Mo Yan.

After getting Mo Yan's overseas copyright except for English, Zheng Yujie was very happy, and when she returned home, she kept holding Yang Guo's hand and said she couldn't believe it.

"By the way, how about I try to leave his book for you to translate?" Zheng Yujie said happily, "I know that you also know French, Spanish and many other languages!" ”

Yang Guo was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Then aren't you going to exhaust me to death?" ”

Zheng Yujie hooked up with Yang Guo's shoulder, looked like a good buddy, and said, "Of course not, I plan to leave the best one or two to you!" And you don't have to turn them all, you can't just grab those mainstream small languages to do it! ”

Yang Guo was quite moved, and he smiled: "Then what kind of reward do you give me?" ”

Zheng Yujie's eyes lit up and said: "I suggest that you don't rush to sell the copyright of your translation now, and when he wins the prize, I say if, then your price can be doubled!" ”

Zheng Yujie was already thinking about herself as a member of the Yang family, and she sold the publishing house with Yang Guodu, I don't know what Pang Yue, who wanted to cultivate her, would think if she knew......
