Chapter 155: Summer Vacation

In July, Lucerne is approaching the hottest season of the year, and there are already young people who can't wait to jump into the icy Lucerne Lake and enjoy the joy of playing in the water.

The difference between the East and the West is experienced not only in the skin, but also in the musculature. As a result of this difference, most whites are a little more resistant to cold than yellow people, and of course, they are less tolerant of heat.

The Swiss, in particular, are used to the cold climate, with temperatures above 25 degrees, and they can't stand it. If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, many elderly people have to run into the mountains.

In winter, Zhou Nan likes to run around, but in summer he is reluctant to go to crowded places.

Their apocrine glands are well developed, and now the human deodorant is not as effective as in later generations, and in the summer when they go to crowded places, they can't stand the smell of foxes, let alone Zhou Nan, an Oriental.

But today, Zhou Nan, along with many parents, is waiting at the door of the middle school, waiting for the graduating students to finish their last course.

The Swiss don't like to go to university, and although ETH Zurich is the first polytechnic university in Europe, if not the world's largest polytechnic university, this only shows that the Swiss value education.

In Switzerland, with the exception of the social, humanities, medical and scientific disciplines, university education in other disciplines is relatively backward.

But as long as it is a discipline that they value, it is generally very strong and absolutely world-class.

However, there is no well-known comprehensive university in Switzerland, more specialized universities, including the world-famous Swiss Hotel Management Institute in the future, they do not have the disciplines they only need to pay attention to, and they will definitely strive for excellence and strive for first-class.

From an early age, Swiss children are taught that one can do one thing well in a lifetime.

At least half of the students do not go to school after graduating from junior high school, and then they go to a vocational school to study technology at the same time.

Only half of the students go to high school, but a third of the students enter high school in order to enter a senior technical school.

The other third are liberal arts students who can only get a clerical job after going to college.

In order to learn more knowledge, the students who enter the university end up only one-sixth of the total number of students. But even those sixths of students have a much higher success rate than in other countries, because they really like what they are learning.

Although there are fewer university students in Switzerland than in other countries, it does not mean that the quality of their students is lower than that of students from other countries.

By the time they reach junior high school, the average Swiss student is able to speak and write in more than three languages, which already meets their needs for social survival.

Later learning only adds depth, not breadth.

The country has never needed generalists, only specialists.

So there are dozens of junior high schools and dozens of technical schools in Lucerne, but there are only four high schools.

Zhou Nan, like most of the waiting parents, chatted about their children in the shade of a tree in front of the school. Of course, Zhou Nan is different from others, others are waiting for their own children, and he is waiting for his wife.

Although it is the college entrance examination, no one will worry about what will happen to the students' test scores, and the test scores in Switzerland only account for one-third of the weight, and then there are one-third of the usual performance, and the remaining third depends on the results.

Therefore, even if the results of the college entrance examination are not reliable, there is no need to worry about not having a university or a higher technical school, it is nothing more than looking at a first-class school or a second-rate school.

As the pride of Lucerne, Zhou Nan has certainly been warmly talked about by many parents. Although Switzerland is not as cold as Sweden and Finland, it is just as cold.

Their enthusiastic conversations will never be uncomfortable with enthusiasm.

The bell rang, and the students walked out of the classroom, and the attention of the chatters was diverted. Many parents waved at their children, but none of them shouted.

Any time you make a loud noise, affecting other people, is the most uneducated and rude thing to do in Switzerland.

Audrey walked out of the campus with a few classmates and came to Zhou Nan with her classmates. "Jonas, if it doesn't rain tomorrow night, I'd like to have a small barbecue party."

"Of course, our house hasn't been lively for a long time."

She said to her classmates with some trepidation: "I just said, Jonas is my husband, not one of those big people who are not easy to contact in your eyes. ”

After a while, they made arrangements for tomorrow. After breaking up with her classmates, Audrey took Zhou Nan Zhou Nan's arm, said hello to the others, and walked along the slowly descending mountain road towards the pier.

"Time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, it's been five years since we arrived in Switzerland."

Zhou Nan teased and said, "Yes, you have also changed from a student who takes four vacations a year to a student who only takes two vacations a year." ”

Primary and secondary schools in Switzerland have four holidays a year, one in spring, summer, autumn and winter. But when you get to college, you only have two vacations.

Audrey gave Zhou Nan a roll of her eyes, but couldn't help laughing. "I'm really going to be your student this time!"

Zhou Nan smiled and asked: "Are we considered a teacher-student relationship?" ”

"Of course!" Audrey looked around, and no one else was there, so she said a little presumptuously: "You are just a young girl, but I was too young at that time, so I was occupied by you." ”

Zhou Nan pretended to be evil and said: "Okay, you dare to talk about me like this, go back and see me clean you up!" ”

She said defiantly, "You come now!" Humph, coward! ”

The more she grows up, the more confident Audrey becomes, and she is no longer the poor little girl who lacked love when she was a child.

Especially in March of this year, after "The Diary of Anne Frank" won her an Oscar for Best Actress, her self-confidence really built.

At the Academy Awards this time, Audrey did not occupy Zhou Nan's light, which was completely the result of Paramount's single-handedness.

When she went to the United States to attend the award ceremony, Zhou Nan did not accompany her because she had already started a writing retreat.

Zhou Nan originally thought that she was going to make soy sauce, but she didn't expect that she really won the Oscar for actress.

At the award ceremony, Audrey was incoherent with excitement, the makeup for crying was spent, and she was extremely embarrassed when she came back, and she was even embarrassed to let Zhou Nan look at the film.

But this award has increased her self-confidence in life, and the only trace of childishness has disappeared, allowing her to bloom into a more mature beauty.

won the Oscar at the age of 18 years and 328 days, and Audrey also created a record that will be difficult to break in future generations.

In Zhou Nan's impression, before 2017, it seemed that the youngest Oscar actress was over 20 years old.

Although she won an Oscar, Audrey also has the heart to develop in film.

But because Zhou Nan didn't like her to act in romance films, and she didn't have a talent for vulgar comedy and black films, although she received some scripts, she didn't have a suitable role.

In fact, she is also limited by her own image, for example, Billy Wilder now has a script for "Sunset Boulevard" on hand, which is a representative film of the golden age of Hollywood, and it is very influential.

But there are two heroines in it, one is older, and the other plays the role of a mistress. Zhou Nan didn't even let her act in a romance movie, how could she let her self-destruct her image to play a mistress.

So instead of staying in Hollywood, she came back to continue her education.

Of course, she is not in a hurry because Zhou Nan promised Chukol and Hughes that when "Human Society" is finished, he will help her tailor a script.

Zhou Nan has already thought about it, so he will change the era of "Princess Diary" in the future and shoot it.

In this era, there are serious movies, but the audience doesn't like them. The number of blockbusters is also very small, and the world cinema is all black satire and comedy in vogue.

It is also for this reason that "Roman Holiday", which expresses innocent and hazy first love, will be very popular as soon as it comes out. And "Roman Holiday" actually has a comedy factor, because this is what is popular in this era.

There are many absurd and funny comedy episodes in the movie "Princess Diaries", an ordinary high school student in the United States becomes a princess of the kingdom with a lot of manners, and wants to inherit the throne, and this dramatic conflict is also very strong.

Bringing a movie that has been popular in the 21st century to this era can be said to be absolutely brilliant.

What's more, the image of this protagonist was originally designed according to Audrey's image, and in the end, Anne Hathaway, who is very similar to Audrey's temperament, was found to play.

If it weren't for this reason, Zhou Nan occasionally saw it on the Internet and said that it was Audrey's reappearance. He won't be in his eighties anymore and watch a comedy movie for young people.

Boarding the boat at the dock, Audrey restlessly slipped into Zhou Nan's arms and screamed loudly at the empty lake. Finally out of the identity of a high school student, and without the pressure of exams, she is particularly excited today.

"Honestly, I'm still sailing!"

Audrey flipped over, leaned back on the steering wheel, put her arms around Zhou Nan's neck and said, "I'm so happy, I'm excited to think that I can go on a trip." ”

Zhou Nan asked dotingly, "Have you figured out where to play?" ”

"Marita asked us to go to Scotland for a holiday at Grammers Castle at her grandmother's house, I haven't thought about it yet, you need a quiet environment to write a book, I'm afraid that if you go to Scotland, you will have a lot of entertainment."

Zhou Nan groaned: "It's okay to go to the UK." When I heard that Wittgenstein had resigned and was living a reclusive life by the Irish sea, I stopped by to see him. ”

Wittgenstein died of prostate cancer, and although he died at the age of sixty-two, it was not a short life, but for his favorite master, Zhou Nan would be happier if he could live two more years.

Moreover, Zhou Nan also wanted to find Turing, the father of computers. According to the information collected by Etinny, he is still working at the British National Physical Laboratory, and Zhou Nan wants to see if there is a chance to dig into the wall.

If he can be poached, Zhou Nan believes that the history of computers in the world will be changed. If he is willing to teach at the University of South China, don't talk about research funding. The treatment is favorable, as long as he is willing to ask for a handsome guy, Zhou Nan will send him twenty to satisfy him.

This is a genius who can truly change the world, but he commits suicide after being tortured, and it is not until decades later that the British government rehabilitates him.
