Chapter 344: Translation
Mr. Zhu sat down steadily, drank a cup of tea first, and then brought the manuscript to his eyes, as usual, first reading the foreign works that had been placed on his desk, and then reading the translations.
The level of these translations is limited, at least in the eyes of translators like Mr. Zhu, it is good as practice works, but it is far from being able to be taken out and read by others.
But he wasn't impatient at all.
Many people like Mr. Zhu actually don't like to revise and review beginners' works, but Mr. Zhu is okay, he has a calm temperament and is very serious.
Even if these things in front of him are not visible in his eyes, he still picks out the fallacies and incomprehension points in them one by one, and reviews each translation manuscript very carefully.
Mr. Zhu has a talent for languages, is an economist, and is also a literary master, and has been engaged in the translation of economic works for many years.
In just half a day, the manuscript was changed.
Mr. Zhu moved his shoulder blades, drank two sips of tea, and beckoned the teaching assistant to send the manuscript back after reviewing.
"There is a demonstration draft in it, which is either Lao Zhang's or Chen's. They probably took the wrong one and sent it to me. β
"Well, you tell them, I'll keep this manuscript first, and go back to my son and those two apprentices who don't make it up."
Mr. Zhu sighed, "My son doesn't like my translation, not that the style is not suitable for him, I look at the style of this manuscript, he must like it, the prose is beautiful, wait for this book to be printed, leave me a few volumes, twenty copies, I will give them away, it is also the result of our school." β
This manuscript is not a lot of words, just over 20,000 words, and there is no need to correct it at all, so it is very easy to print.
The teaching assistant hurriedly responded, and I really thought that someone's translation had been sent by mistake.
This is not uncommon.
Although they can't compare Qindao University with the famous schools of Yanping University, there are also a few great people, and in addition to Mr. Zhu, there are also Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen, who are all famous figures.
Nowadays, the school is busy translating works from all over the world, and it is not uncommon for teachers and students to be in a hurry, and occasionally send them the manuscript they are reading by mistake.
The teaching assistant smiled: "If it is really Zhang Lao, or even the latest one written by Chen Lao, and finds that the manuscript is lost, the owner will not be distressed to death?" β
Mr. Zhu: "He deserves it, and he won't be able to remember it in the future." β
The assistant chuckled, while curious, he couldn't help but look at the manuscript specially distributed by Mr. Zhu, and he was stunned when he saw it.
There are some straight pen words in the delicate air in front of you, which are clearly very familiar.
The teaching assistant rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, and was speechless.
ββ¦β¦ Sir, this is a translation of Mr. Zhou's niece, Miss Lin. β
Mr. Zhu was also stunned when he heard this, and his first reaction was impossible.
He knew that Mr. Zhou had a niece who was going to work part-time at their school, so Mr. Zhou specially greeted him and asked Mr. Zhu to teach him more.
A few years ago, Professor Zhou donated money to various universities to buy various types of foreign books and materials, and after it was published in Yanping Daily, many newspapers around the country reprinted it, and Mr. Zhu was also very impressed after reading it.
A few days ago, his mother was sick, and Mr. Zhu went home to serve the sick, and he just returned to school today, and he was planning to take time to see that Miss Lin.
"Miss Lin is just 20 years old this year? Could it be wrong? β
The teaching assistant shook his head: "When Xiao Liu sent these manuscripts, he deliberately mentioned two sentences. β
It's just that he knew that Mr. Zhu didn't care whose manuscript he read, and he wouldn't be perfunctory, so he didn't deliberately remind him.
I took Mr. Zhu's 'highly respected' manuscript and read it carefully.
Mr. believes that this manuscript is from Zhang Lao, or even Chen Lao, and he can be regarded as respected!
After a while, he also praised the verse: "The translation is really good, 'Xinyada' has all three." β
The two looked at each other.
"No wonder!"
In their school, if they want to find translators with such skills, everyone will only think about those few people.
"The afterlife is terrifying!"
Just in time for the meeting, Mr. Zhu also took the manuscript and displayed it at the meeting.
So the gentlemen of the whole Qindao University knew that there was a young lady who was quite embarrassed by the school.
Yang Yuying suddenly noticed that her workload seemed to have become larger.
In the past, she mainly studied and mainly read foreign literature, as well as those who translated everyone's works, and there were very few things that she needed to translate herself, and even if there were, it was relatively simple and easy to understand.
But now, the books that need to be translated by her seem to be almost the same as those of those teachers.
Fortunately, Yang Yuying's interest is strong, and she doesn't think it's bitter.
Recently, she read two new ancient texts translated by Mr. Gu from Yanping University, both English and French, which is really eye-opening!
Anyway, she felt that she was not losing to others in learning this foreign language, and the skill level increased at a speed similar to flying, and she was not confident that she would be able to catch up with the level of the translators of these articles.
However, because of the challenge, Yang Yuying began to be particularly interested, just like her performance in the first three minutes of playing a new game, she became more attentive and active in her current job, staying in the archives of the library all day long, not even wanting to go out of the door, and longing to be fed three meals a day.
Zhou Xingzhi was a little worried.
His cheap uncle is really very attentive, not only worried about the physical health and mental health of his little niece, but also worried that he is not careful, and has a gray-haired nephew and son-in-law who is older than him.
Other old professors are also okay, their style is very rigorous, even if they are optimistic about Yang Yuying, it is definitely the kind of importance that the teacher attaches to the younger generation.
However, he always felt that the words and deeds of gentlemen like Professor Li Wenjin, who had been cultivated overseas for many years, had a particularly open personality, and were a bit of a bit Westernized, always felt very dangerous.
"Wan Niang should see the world more and meet more young people of the same age."
The students of Kotoshima University are a good choice, but it has to be said that the professors are more amazing in maturity and charm and have a higher status than those students, and it is easy to overshadow the students who are already the pride of the sky.
And at the moment, he really can't guess the thoughts of these girls, it seems that there are many people who think that it is not a problem for men to be older, especially if the other party is very talented, then age is not an obstacle.
It's scary to think about.
On this day, Commander Song held a drinking party at the Sihai Hotel to entertain all the forces on Qindao, nothing important, purely to win over relations and exchange and cooperation.
There must be this kind of socialization, and Commander Song is no exception.
"Wan Niang also goes, just play, and you can also see for a long time."
Zhou Xingzhi said with a smile.
Yang Yuying likes to be lively, so she didn't object.
It's just that when it came to the day of the reception, she couldn't help but regret it a little, she didn't expect to participate in a banquet, and she actually had to do hair, makeup, pick clothes, shoes and hats, everything couldn't be easy.
I think she didn't attend the banquet, and she also went to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of the emperor of Dashun Lian and her old man's house seriously, but at that time she went as a young master.
Who dares to care whether her combed hair is trendy or not, whether the jewelry she wears is popular or not, and whether the clothes she wears are luxurious enough.
No one can talk about a school uniform.
It's good now, one of the big men in Zhou Xing, staring at her and letting her dress up, from cheongsam to dress, sent her a lot, all kinds of jewelry, and special makeup personnel.
Yang Yuying glanced at the pointed and thin heels on the leather shoes, and suddenly smiled: "I still like the traditional clothes of our country." β
The leather shoes are delicate and beautiful, and she likes them too.
Not only does she like it, but she also buys a lot, and when she usually has nothing to do and doesn't have to walk much, she wears it on her feet to appreciate and appreciate it, and she is also happy in her heart.
But wearing these shoes, listen to Zhou Xingzhi's encouragement - 'Dance two more dances at the reception, don't live up to this great year!' βγ
Yang Yuying suddenly decided that women's embroidered shoes were the most perfect shoes.
A modified moon-white wide-sleeved full-breasted skirt is more plain than a serious skirt, light and elegant, easy to move, and only wears a pearl hairpin on the bun.
Zhou Xingzhi was talking to Commander Song on the second floor, and next to him, Staff Officer Lu and Song Yuyi reminded him, and the two of them looked over at the same time, and they were all stunned.
ββ¦β¦ Our Miss Huaguo really should still be dressed like this, beautiful and elegant. β
Zhou Xingyi laughed as he walked downstairs to Yang Yuying's side and took her to meet a few people he felt it was necessary to know.
The group of officers that Commander Song befriended were just a group of officers, all of them were big and coarse, and Zhou Xing couldn't look down on them.
Others, such as the son of a high-ranking official, the nephew of the mayor's family, the disciple of the professor, and the heir of a wealthy businessman, are all kinds of things, showing that the friends of Zhou Xing are broad.
Yang Yuying's eyes fell on several middle-aged people who were being embraced. These people laughed and laughed unscrupulously, holding several well-known courtesans of Qindao in their arms, and then disguised peacefully, their expressions also faintly revealed contempt and arrogance.
"Japanese?"
"Ryuichi Inoue of the Yakuza Society is here, and those are the high-level leaders of the Yakuza Society that he brought."
Zhou Xingzhi frowned and shook his head, "Inoue Ryuichi is not an ordinary person, he has a strong backing behind him, he is a descendant of the Japanese Fujita family, Fujita Zheng, who has a very high status in the secret society Xuanyang Society, and has power in both military and political terms. β
"Recently, Ryuichi Inoue has been making a bit of a big move, and the Commander Song of our family is staring at him, but he can't grasp the handle for a while."
Zhou Xingzhi actually didn't know about those big things in Commander Song, that is, he occasionally heard them mention a few sentences, and he only knew half of it.
Tell Yang Yuying at this time, but in order to remind her, don't have anything to do with these messy characters.
After the general introduction, he led Yang Yuying to meet with a few friends, and Zhou Xingzhi let her dance by herself.
"Go play, don't you young people like to dance?"
Yang Yuying: Otherwise...... Sword Dance to find out?
She held her glass and found a corner that was out of the way, taking a slow sip of wine and a bite of dessert.
The dishes at this reception are beautifully presented, but the entrance is unsatisfactory, only the dessert is delicious.
As for dancing, she wasn't very interested.
Among the guests at the surrounding cocktail party, a few were quite curious about Yang Yuying.
"That young lady is very special, I think she came with Mr. Zhou, who is it? Could it be Commander Song's ......?"
"I heard that it was Mr. Zhou's niece."
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded suddenly: "Is it the daughter of Director He of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Why did you come to our Qin Island, didn't you say that you were preparing to get married? β
"Wrong, it's not Miss Xu."
There are also a few good gossips, who know the bottom and laugh, "This young lady's surname is Lin." β
"Lin? Which Lin family, I haven't heard of it. β
"I heard that she is an ordinary country woman who once had a marriage contract with Wang Ningxian of Qindao University, and the two families have just divorced."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and there was a slight taste between their eyebrows.
"No wonder I'm a little shy."
"It looks good."
A beautiful woman in her thirties, who was slightly plump, looked Yang Yuying up and down a few times, "Mr. Zhou brought his niece out, didn't he want to be a matchmaker for Commander Song?" β
Most of the people who can participate in this reception are well-informed, Commander Song has a heavy army, and he has always been the object of everyone's wooing, and he is also concerned about his affairs.
He recently returned to his hometown and was arranged by his family for several rounds of blind dates, but he was so frightened that he fled overnight, and everyone has spread it as an anecdote.
Now Commander Song's uncle suddenly sent a 'cousin' to him.
This cousin looks pretty good, and as soon as she arrived in Qindao, she divorced her original fiancΓ©.
I think Wang Ningxian is also a young talent, if Miss Lin doesn't have a better goal, how can she easily withdraw from her family?
The beautiful woman's eyes showed a little displeasure.
"It's really people's hearts that are not ancient, and the crooked ways in this world are always inexhaustible!"
As she spoke, she looked back at a young lady standing beside her, and reached out to pat her arm.
This middle-aged beautiful woman surnamed Huang, her husband's surname is Zhang, she runs a textile factory in Qindao, and her business is very large, and there are several military and political dignitaries among her in-laws, and she is also considered a small influence in the local area, and the two of them have two sons and a daughter, and the youngest daughter has graduated from college a few years ago, and it is time to see each other's relatives.
Their daughters are highly educated and have outstanding character, and they also have high hopes that they can find a good match for their daughter, and they can also marry a noble family.
Miss Zhang's vision is very picky, either the identity of the suspect is not noble enough, the power is not big enough, or the age is too old, the appearance is too ugly, once I accidentally saw Commander Song, Miss Zhang felt satisfied when she saw it.
In terms of identity, he is in a high position.
In terms of age, it's just a year older than her.
In terms of appearance, there are few people who can compare.
Although she has not yet been contacted, Miss Zhang already has a plan in her heart.
Since you always have to get married, of course, you can marry the best one within your ability, but you can't marry out, and you can't go to your mother's house.
With her eyes flickering, Miss Zhang moved lightly, walked to Yang Yuying's side, and smiled lightly: "You are also bored?" β
Yang Yuying raised her eyebrows: "Yes, some." β
"If you learn to watch people, learn to have fun, then you will find this wine party very interesting, and it will be boring at all."
"Oh?"
Yang Yuying blinked, and said in her heart: Self-cooked?
