"Miss Pei, I'm Lopez, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Western University, and it's a pleasure to meet you here." A middle-aged chubby man stood up and said.

"I'm also very happy ......"

Before Pei Shengnan finished politely, the other party couldn't wait to ask, "May I ask Miss Pei, as a foreign language major, in addition to your native language, how many foreign languages do you master?" ”

"English ......"

"English can't be counted, it's the world's common language, especially for foreign language students, it should be mastered." Lopez said.

Pei Shengnan was silent, Lopez waited for a while, and asked impatiently: "Please answer my question, or Miss Pei has countless languages, and she still needs to calculate?" ”

There were sighs at the scene, and there was no shortage of schadenfreude. Pei Shengnan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Professor Lopez has a habit of interrupting others, can I have enough time to express myself?" ”

Hehe, Guan Qing put his hands to his mouth and said mockingly: "Impolite! ”

Lopez didn't get angry, raised his hand, and motioned for Pei Shengnan to speak.

"First of all, I would like to correct that English is currently one of the more widely spoken languages in the world, not the lingua franca." Pei Shengnan corrected that it was not all one-sided, and this statement also made scholars from other countries applaud her, "If you follow Professor Lopez's point of view, except for my mother tongue and English, I basically can't speak." Oh, and the Japanese Korean language that will say hello, and a few minority languages. However, I don't think that speaking more languages is an indication of ability, after all, like European countries, it is very common for countries to speak each other's language. As the saying goes, there are pros and cons, our country is vast, and not everyone can deal with neighboring countries. ”

is embarrassed again, thinking that Pei Shengnan is showing off his wealth and his own territory is big, but he can't compare, this is a natural advantage. On these questions, Chekalelli asked, and everyone responded to her in the same way, and her qualifications were still young, and she could basically conclude that she was not qualified to write such books.

"Well, I apologize for my slip of the tongue. It is true that a person's language ability cannot be calculated solely by knowing several languages. However, it is ridiculous for people who have little language knowledge to talk about the rules of language, right? Lopez asked.

"Ever since I saw you, I've been frowning and smiling, huh? Where did the show be ridiculous? Pei Shengnan asked rhetorically.

Haha, some reporters laughed, and there was sparse applause. But Pei Shengnan's smooth forehead began to sweat, and this kind of almost nonsense answer was difficult to convince the public, and it was very likely that he would be directly knocked off the stage if he continued to talk about it.

"Okay, so let's talk about the laws of language. In Europe, for example, English is the most widely spoken, and French is widely recognized as the most beautiful language, but although both languages have Latin roots and some common grammar, it is necessary to start from scratch to become proficient. In fact, learning French is easier than English, but people are more willing to use it for a variety of reasons. ”

Lopez spoke eloquently, and I have to say that he is very knowledgeable, he knows the history of various countries in detail, and the venue is quiet, which is the real exchange, and can increase knowledge between questions and answers.

"Tracing back to the roots, human language has evolved from simple characters and gestures, and there are certainly differences, but even French and Chinese have similarities, such as their pronunciation is fixed, while English has variations." Pei Shengnan argued.

"You don't know French, but you answer with superficial knowledge, and the common ground between China and France is not as absolute as you say." Lopez said disdainfully.

Pei Shengnan was very uncomfortable, he couldn't squeeze out a smile on his face, and he was a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "Now it's not about discussing Chinese, French and English, but about the primitive tribal language." You haven't been to those places, how can you ......?"

"I'm sorry, but there are not a few experts and scholars here who go to the islands to find words and languages." Lopez said again.

At this time, Pei Shengnan was annoyed, "I used to think that the president of the university was the one who didn't know how to listen, may I ask Mr. Lopez, who is used to your habit of interrupting other people's speeches at will?" What's wrong with authority, is it going to bully others? Knowledge is meant to be shared, to be learned, not to be shown, and not to be used as a weapon to ridicule others! ”

Oh? Lopez was stunned for a moment, he didn't realize that his normal question would make Pei Shengnan react so much, and he felt that she was weak-hearted, and said: "Your answer is a waste of everyone's time, don't listen." Everyone here is eager to turn a day into forty-eight hours! ”

"Then, after listening to the summary of the two-day office?"

"Miss Pei, it's useless to quibble, come up with factual evidence to prove the truth of these words!" Lopez said.

"It's all written in the book, is it necessary for me to be a repeater?"

"That's a lie! I can define it! ”

Pei Sheng's face was flushed with anger, her fists were clenched, and her eyes kept staring at the other party's nose, eager to turn her two nostrils into a fountain.

"This job is the responsibility of the second author!"

Guan Qing shouted, jumped up from his seat with a rub, and ran to the podium in a few steps, standing with Pei Shengnan. Pei Shengnan was so excited that he almost shed tears, the rescuer came, it was really interesting, he usually felt that Guan Qingchou's words were ugly and a little annoying, and he was the light that opened the door of despair at this time.

Now Guan Qing is taller than Pei Shengnan, and the two are crowded behind a podium, and they are not very coordinated. Pei Shengnan didn't give any clear explanation, and naturally no one believed the teenager.

"How many Chinese languages do you know?" Lopez asked.

"More than Aunt Pei!" Guan Qing was not ashamed, Pei Shengnan nodded and acquiesced, she knew Guan Qinghui, and he was the one who really mastered the tribal language.

Lopez looked at Zhou Xuan in the corner, he sat still, looking at the stage calmly. Lopez shook his head and appeared out of order, these Orientals still talk about the quality of others, and their own behavior is contemptible!

"Miss Pei said that this book focuses on explaining the rules of language, oh, forget it, you are still a child, you can't understand it." Lopez waved his hand.

"How do you know I don't understand? People have human language, and beasts have animal language, Aunt Pei said that human language is expressed by characters and body language. It's like I'm comparing my heart here, and everyone understands the meaning of love. Guan Qing said.

Oh, Lopez nodded, let's not talk about anything else, I don't care about my young age and eloquence, and these words are all to the point.

"So, what can you prove?" Lopez said.

"I only learned English with Aunt Pei, and I have read some books in other languages, and I basically grasp the rules, but I still don't understand it. Don't you all call yate yourself linguists, and you can speak any language, and I can roughly guess the meaning. Guan Qing said.

"Guess?" Lopez chuckled.

"Why don't we have a game?" Guan Qing showed no weakness.
