035 English translation
Zhu Tiejun threatened to invite everyone to the restaurant, but there was no good restaurant around the petrochemical machine, but the hospitality canteen run by the factory itself was of good grade, and you could also order food, so the people came to the hospitality canteen under the guidance of Feng Xu.
"Whatever you want, order whatever you want." After the waiter brought the menu, Zhu Tiejun said to everyone.
The menu is just a piece of paper with twenty or thirty handwritten names of dishes. At that time, there was no printing, photocopying, plastic packaging and other technologies, and the menu in a very good hospitality canteen was inferior to that of later generations of farmhouses. As for the types of dishes, they are even more lackluster, nothing more than slices of pork, fried pork, braised pork, fried fish and the like, their richness is not as good as Lin Zhenhua's family banquet.
"So many dishes? Picky. Yang Chunshan looked at the menu and muttered.
"What's so dazzling about just ordering food?" Lin Zhenhua was very disdainful, "Otherwise, don't order it, let the master serve it according to the list." ”
Everyone giggled, and finally ordered six dishes and asked for three bottles of liquor. Yang Chunshan and other welders rarely have the opportunity to participate in eating and drinking at public expense, and when they see the dishes on the table, they can't help but have their eyes shining, like welding sparks. After symbolically asking Zhu Tiejun to move the chopsticks first, everyone started eating like wolves.
While eating, a group of people walked in from outside the cafeteria, still talking about something as they walked. As a hospitality canteen, it is normal for people to come and go, but this group of people is very unusual, because in the conversation of everyone, there are even a few foreign languages mixed in.
"Xiaohua, look, there are foreigners." Yang Chunshan's location was right opposite the door of the cafeteria, so he was the first to see a foreigner with a high nose and blue eyes mixed in that group, and hurriedly reminded Lin Zhenhua to visit. At that time, foreigners were a rare animal, and they would attract onlookers wherever they went, so much so that there was a civilized rule at that time, that is, "do not watch foreign guests".
A group of people in the Hanhua factory turned their heads to look at foreigners, and although Lin Zhenhua was not interested in foreigners, he still turned back with everyone. It didn't matter if he turned around, he found that the person who followed the foreigner as a translator turned out to be an acquaintance: He Haifeng from the Xiangping Provincial Department of Light Industry.
"Old He ......" Lin Zhenhua blurted out, but when he said the word "He", he had already swallowed half of it, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to greet He Haifeng at this time.
He Haifeng saw Lin Zhenhua at a glance, and he said something to the other people around him, probably asking them to order food and eat first, and then walked over to the table of Hanhua Factory, and greeted Lin Zhenhua affectionately: "Xiaolin, why are you here?" ”
"We built a submerged arc welding machine and sent it to the petrochemical machine for testing." Lin Zhenhua hurriedly stood up, first explained to He Haifeng the situation of his coming to the petrochemical machine, and then hurriedly introduced everyone to each other: "Where is the chief, this is Zhu Tiejun, the deputy director of our Hanhua Machinery Factory. …… Director Zhu, this is He Haifeng, director of the Xiangping Provincial Department of Light Industry. ”
"Hello."
"Hello."
He Haifeng and Zhu Tiejun said hello to each other, shook hands again, and exchanged a few pleasantries. One of these two people is in the right place, the other is the deputy department, the level is about the same, and they are both more easy-going people, so after chatting a few words, they still have a bit of mutual appreciation. He Haifeng immediately invited Zhu Tiejun to go to the Light Industry Hall to sit down when he went to Tanzhou on a business trip, and Zhu Tiejun threatened that whenever He Haifeng went to Fenghua County, he would be hospitable.
After being polite to Zhu Tiejun, He Haifeng turned his head to Lin Zhenhua and said, "Xiaolin, I really didn't expect to meet you here." I'm still thinking that after this side is over, I will take the time to go to Fenghua County to see you. ”
Lin Zhenhua knew that He Haifeng was not a fool, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for remembering me." By the way, how did you get to Gangnam Province? You brought this foreign guest? ”
He Haifeng sighed: "Alas, don't mention it. Your Jiangnan Provincial Department of Light Chemical Industry imported a CNC machine tool from the United States, and this foreign guest's name is Ford, and he is a technician from the United States who is responsible for technical training. Your province found an English teacher from the Normal University to translate for Mr. Ford, and as a result, she had no problem dealing with English and conversation, but she was blind when it came to professional vocabulary. Your Qinghua Department asked us for help, and I learned a little bit of professional English in the past, and I was arrested and sent on an errand. I'm ashamed to say that I can't translate many of the words Mr. Ford said, and I hold a English-Chinese mechanical dictionary every day, cramming for a while. ”
"Mechanical English is really troublesome." Lin Zhenhua was deeply touched, "The teacher of the Normal University is probably going to order something long_live_chairman_mao right?" ”
He Haifeng's eyes lit up: "Xiaolin, do you know English?" ”
"Uh......" Lin Zhenhua stood up, hiding his clumsiness, and he couldn't bear to see He Haifeng's disappointed appearance. He could imagine that He Haifeng's English must only be barely able to deal with it, and it was really embarrassing to hold the English-Chinese dictionary as a translator. Lin Zhenhua is of course quite confident in his English level, he has accompanied his tutor at home and abroad to participate in several academic conferences in the machinery industry, at the meeting in English to read papers, and communicate with mechanical experts from all over the world, there is no barrier.
"Chief, when I was in the army, I learned a little bit of English." Lin Zhenhua said implicitly.
"So, do you know the English related to mechanical technology?"
Lin Zhenhua nodded: "I also have some knowledge, but I can't be proficient." ”
"Great!" He Haifeng was overjoyed, Lin Zhenhua's hands in Tanzhou were so beautiful, which made He Haifeng have a special confidence in Lin Zhenhua. He thought that since Lin Zhenhua dared to say that he was involved, he must be sure in his heart.
"Let's go and talk to Ford with me." He Haifeng pulled Lin Zhenhua and said. He turned his head to look at Zhu Tiejun, and remembered that the leaders of the people were still present, so he hurriedly changed his tone of discussion and said: "Director Zhu, I want to ask Xiaolin to help me receive foreign guests, do you think it is appropriate?" This matter is actually also a matter of your Jiangnan Provincial Light Chemical Department, you also saw it just now, accompanied by foreign guests, as well as Director Xie Chunyan of your Light Chemical Department. ”
Zhu Tiejun did see Director Xie Chunyan who he knew in that group of people just now, and knew that what He Haifeng said was true, but he was still a little unsure about whether Lin Zhenhua understood English. He looked at Lin Zhenhua and asked, "Xiaolin, are you okay?" Don't delay anything, you can't make international jokes. ”
Lin Zhenhua nodded: "Director Zhu, I have studied English in the army for a few days, and I don't know if it will work." Otherwise, I'll give it a try. Isn't there a long way to check everything? ”
"No problem, Director Zhu, I have confidence in Xiaolin, as long as he says something that can be done, there will definitely be no problem." He Haifeng said, pulling Lin Zhenhua and walking to his table.
"Guys, I'm sorry, I just met an acquaintance." He Haifeng came to his table and greeted everyone, he pointed at Lin Zhenhua: "This is the hero of the self-defense and counterattack, Comrade Lin Zhenhua, who has now retired from the army and works in Hanhua Machinery Factory." As it happens, he has learned a little English, and I would like to ask him to come over and see if I can be a translator for Mr. Ford. ”
Everyone nodded to Lin Zhenhua, although they muttered in their hearts, but for He Haifeng's sake, it was not convenient to show it. Lin Zhenhua saw that there was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and dressed as a teacher next to the American named Ford, who was translating to Ford what He Haifeng had just said, and it was estimated that this middle-aged woman was the English teacher at the Normal University that He Haifeng said.
After listening to the English teacher's translation, Ford also nodded to Lin Zhenhua and said in English: "Just now Mr. He said that you can translate for me, is that so?" ”
Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and replied in fluent English, "Yes, Mr. Ford." However, my English may not be very high, so please bear with me. ”
"No, no, no, your English is amazing!" Ford was so excited that he almost jumped up, he had been in China for more than ten days, listening to the teachers of Normal University and He Haifeng's English with oriental charm every day, and Ford was about to collapse. Lin Zhenhua's English is a standard American pronunciation, even more standard than Ford's own English pronunciation, which gives Ford a feeling of seeing his relatives.
"He speaks English, right?" Another middle-aged woman sitting next to the English teacher whispered to the English teacher that she was one of the only two female surnames at the table, and Lin Zhenhua could tell that she should be Xie Chunyan, the director of the Jiangnan Provincial Light Chemical Department, whom He Haifeng said.
The English teacher nodded: "He is right, there is a place where the grammar is different from what we usually ask for in class, but it is very in line with the habits of American speaking." In terms of pronunciation, I think his pronunciation is the closest to Mr. Ford's, and it should belong to the more standard American English. In our school, we generally learned spoken English, and there were some obstacles when communicating with Mr. Ford. ”
"Hanhua Machinery Factory still has such talents?" Xie Chunyan was a little surprised, she saw that Lin Zhenhua and Ford had finished greeting, so she stretched out her hand to signal Lin Zhenhua to sit down, and asked the waiter to add a set of dishes and chopsticks to him.
"Your name is Lin ......" Xie Chunyan asked hesitantly, when He Haifeng introduced it just now, she didn't remember Lin Zhenhua's name.
"My name is Lin Zhenhua and I am a worker at Hanhua Machinery Factory." Lin Zhenhua replied respectfully, Xie Chunyan is the leader of the provincial department, and he does not dare to make a mistake.
"Oh, I'm also familiar with the Hanhua factory." Xie Chunyan said, "Where did you graduate?" Listen to Mr. Li, your English is very good. ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "Where, Mr. Li has won the award." I only had a Chinese degree, and I learned English when I was a soldier in the army. I was a scout in the army, so I learned a lot of things. ”
"Kobayashi's knowledge is very wide." He Haifeng said that Lin Zhenhua had a few words with Ford just now, which made He Haifeng's heart completely down-to-earth, knowing that Lin Zhenhua's English would definitely not embarrass him as a recommender.
"When Xiaolin was in Tanzhou, he helped us solve two major technical problems." He Haifeng went on to introduce that he briefly talked about the process of Lin Zhenhua helping two porcelain factories solve technical problems in Tanzhou, and everyone here understood people, and when he heard it, he knew that this young man did have two strokes and could grasp the core of the problem so quickly.
"How come we haven't found such talents in the past?" Xie Chunyan's eyes when she looked at Lin Zhenhua changed a little, she has had a lot of contact with He Haifeng these days, and she knows that He Haifeng will not talk nonsense easily, since he is praising Lin Zhenhua, it can be seen that this Lin Zhenhua is indeed a little extraordinary.
A man sitting next to Xie Chunyan interjected: "Comrade Lin Zhenhua, you learned English in the army, so do you know the English of the mechanical major?" You must know that if it is just a regular conversation, we already have Mr. Li as a translator, and Mr. Li is an English teacher at the Normal University, and his English level is very high. Our main problem now is that some mechanical majors can't find the right person to translate the English vocabulary, otherwise they wouldn't have gone all the way to Xiangping Province to ask for help. ”
"Xiaolin, he is the technical section chief of the petrochemical machine, Wei Dongqi, the chief of the Wei section." He Haifeng introduced on the side.
"Oh, Chief Wei, hello." Lin Zhenhua nodded politely to Wei Dongqi, and then said: "Coincidentally, when I was in the army, the person who taught us scouts English happened to be a local professor, and he taught mechanical majors, so I know a little bit about the English of mechanical majors." ”
Teacher Li from Normal University has been serving as a translator, and she also translated the conversation between Lin Zhenhua and Wei Dongqi truthfully. When Ford heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "I hope to ask this Mr. Lin to be my translator, whether he is familiar with mechanical English or not, I believe that I can communicate well with him." ”
In Ford's sense, it doesn't matter if you know mechanical English or not, as long as it saves me from having to listen to that kind of English with a Chinese Jiangnan accent every day. I can't do it, I can make it simpler, and you can just translate it.
When Xie Chunyan heard Ford say this, she no longer doubted it, and she said to Lin Zhenhua: "Well, Comrade Xiaolin, I officially inform you in the name of the Light Chemical Department to serve as Mr. Ford's translator and help Mr. Ford complete his equipment installation, commissioning and training in China. Over there in your factory, I will say hello, you are in the petrochemical machine these days, you can be treated as a business trip. ”
"Director Xie, Xiaolin's factory director is at the table over there, you can go over and talk to him in person later." He Haifeng said that he wanted to make the leaders of the Hanhua factory realize Lin Zhenhua's important surname through such a move, which was also a means to help Lin Zhenhua strive for a better condition.
Xie Chunyan nodded: "Oh, okay, I'll go over to say hello after eating in a while." I think they seem to be Deputy Director Zhu, right? I've dealt with him. ”
Lin Zhenhua saw that when everyone was discussing his work arrangement, they didn't discuss anything with him at all, and directly regarded him as a transparent body, and he only felt helpless. However, that year was like this, you are an employee of the enterprise, and the superior leader wants to arrange for you to do things, what else do you need to discuss with you? Anyway, Xie Chunyan just said that he can be treated as a business trip during the petrochemical machine period, which means that he can have a business trip subsidy of five cents a day, which can be regarded as a beautiful difference.
"Director Xie, I obey the arrangement. By the way, what kind of equipment Mr. Ford came to install this time, can I find out? Lin Zhenhua asked.
"It's a new type of milling machine, all computer-controlled." Wei Dongqi replied that he didn't think Lin Zhenhua knew what a CNC machine tool was.
"Oh, it's a CNC machine." Lin Zhenhua said, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and when he remembered something, he couldn't help but ask: "Section Chief Wei, what you just said about importing a digital milling machine?" Could it be the Mk800 from Spischer? ”
"That's right, it's the MK800, how do you know?" Wei Dongqi was shocked, Lin Zhenhua could speak English, which was not enough to make him feel incredible, but Lin Zhenhua was able to judge that the model of the milling machine was MK800 just by relying on the two keywords of the United States and the milling machine, what a god this is.
