Chapter 444: Could It Be That One Heard His Heart?
Joshua? Davis has been depressed and irritable lately, and every day when he walks around the campus, even if everything around him is normal, the other students are just curious about him, an American, and he will feel that it is all kinds of ridicule and sarcasm.
This can't be blamed for his allergic reaction, who let him take two exams in a row and he was stuck in English, a guy who is a native English speaker, when he arrives at the exam room here, he is worse than a large number of domestic students, and the midterm exam is regressive compared to the first monthly exam.
This is really shocking.
But he really doesn't think his English is bad, but for the English taught by Jingwen, no matter how awkward he looks, and some can't accept it, so he deliberately studied some international evaluations of domestic English, many people call this Chinglish, not English!
When using English, the Chinese language is influenced by the way of thinking and culture of the Chinese language to spell out English that does not conform to the English expression habits and has Chinese phonetic, grammatical, and lexical characteristics.
As an example, the phrase I don't have a boyfriend, Joshua himself expresses in his native language, is Idon'thaveaboyfriend. But if it is expressed in a domestic way, it is Ihavenoboyfriend.
One is don'thavea, the other is haveno, and the difference is too great.
Another example is some words, such as ofcourse, he thinks that the frequency of domestic students and teachers use this word too high, if the teacher asks if you are going home this weekend, students can use ofcourse normally, the problem is that he will not respond like this in the English he understands, this word also implies "Of course, do you think I am a fool?" ". It contains provocation, and similar to an ordinary definitive response, how can it be possible to take the initiative to provoke the other party?
The more he learned, the more embarrassed he felt, and the difference from his normal cognition was too great, and he felt that the teachers were teaching wrong. The more he studied, the more mistakes he made, and he couldn't stand that kind of difference, but it was not surprising that his grades were getting worse and worse in the country because of those wrong ways in China.
But this kind of poor grades corresponds to the background that he was born in the United States and English is his mother tongue, which seems to have become a great irony, and the irony has more than once popped up in his heart to return to China.
Of course, that was just an impulse, and he wouldn't really make the decision to leave Jingwen yet. Coming to Jingwen, he didn't have much interest in the domestic college entrance examination, nor did he think about proving himself in that kind of college entrance examination, he was completely for Huang Jingyao to teach a world miracle like Wang Liang, and wanted to become a person like Wang Liang, even if he didn't have Wang Liang's talent, but if he could become a few levels worse than Wang Liang, it would definitely not be an achievement that ordinary people could achieve.
Being a student under Huang Jingyao is the only opportunity to have that kind of opportunity. So how could he back down just because of this small setback.
Not to mention that after he came to Jingwen, he really began to understand and contact. On the contrary, he began to be attracted to this place, the most important thing is history, he was shocked by the vast history of this country, and became deeply interested, we all know how short the history of the United States is, and there is no United States for hundreds of years.
More than 2,000 years ago, there was an emperor like Qin Shi Huang in this country. When he read and learned like that, he simply fell to the five bodies that the emperor admired and became a fan of that one. His worship and reverence for that person is not to say that he was shocked by his great achievements in sweeping the six kingdoms and dominating the world, strictly speaking. The modern United States has dominated the world, compared to the one who only dominated the world in the East,......
What he admired and even worshipped was that the emperor had the vision and insight of the same book and text more than 2,000 years ago, and he really carried it out, which is the key to his heart that surpassed the various emperors of the West.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, all countries were hundreds of years old, and after the unification was destroyed by Qin, even if the Qin Dynasty collapsed quickly, there was no longer a situation of many countries, but was replaced by the Han Dynasty.
Britain, France, Italy, Germany and other countries in Europe, why they have always been completely different from each other from ancient times to the present, is that there has not been a transcendent emperor like Qin Shi Huang in their history.
Alexander the Great of Macedon was bullish? swept through countless countries, but those countries quickly returned to their tracks, and they were still their own countries, not really Macedonian's undefeated territory after being ruled by him.
Not only Qin Shi Huang, that emperor is only what he admires and even worships the most, and then all kinds of domestic history, the same opened his eyes, deeply shocked and shaken, shocked by the resilience of such a nation, thousands of years of ups and downs of this nation, there have been more than one magnificent take-off period, but there are also many times almost extinct, but they still wade through the darkness again and again, that is, the period of modern history, let him see the shock, the country in modern history is simply miserable, but how many years has it become a global power, It's still going upstream.
How similar is this to the trajectory of the dark periods in its history, such as the Five Chaos and China?
There are not too many countries that can rise for a while in the West, such as the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, etc., which are also rampant all over the world in a short period of time, but once these countries and nations decline, how many can rise again? Compared with the Han nation, no matter how exaggerated the weakening of the Han nation in history is, how bleak the darkness is, it will not be long before he can stand up again, and this kind of national spirit that is almost unforgiving and courageous the more frustrated he is, almost fascinated him.
It's almost unique in the world.
The more he learns here, the more he is captured by this country and nation that exudes infinite charm, and he will not leave Jingwen easily because of this love and obsession.
Now, although he is not accustomed to the domestic education system, he has not adapted to the rhythm of life, and even complains about domestic English, but he really wants to continue to stay, to try to accept the habit of trying, so far, what makes him feel a little resentful is that he has been in Jingwen for so long, and he has not accepted the encouragement and guidance of Principal Huang, but he also knows that it is not Principal Huang's fault, but that he himself has not even mastered Mandarin reading and writing, and there may be problems with communication, so how can he understand it deeply?
"Laugh at it, laugh at it, no matter what, I will stay well, if I can be mentioned by Principal Huang earlier, it will be better."
Joshua, who was walking on campus, saw a few more boys passing by him look at him a few more times, which also made his face slightly hot, but then he gritted his teeth to cheer himself up.
When the cheering sound landed, the mobile phone rang for a while, and Joshua was overjoyed when he grabbed the phone and saw it.
Principal Huang? Did he hear him? It was this one call that made Joshua feel more energetic and tremble a little. (To be continued.) )
