Chapter 325: Translator Again
After visiting Minglin Company, in the evening, Lin Wei and Minglei arranged a dinner, they chartered a Western restaurant, in terms of socializing that they are good at, Lin and Ming showed the enthusiasm of the host, opened a few bottles of red wine, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Professor Grosso had a very good impression of Ye Tang, and his interest was very high, after the dinner, he returned to the hotel with Kevin, and continued to drink two more glasses in the hotel bar.
"She's incredibly unbelievable, extraordinary, unbelievably intelligent," he praised her with a few exaggerated adjectives, "and she's gifted with a brilliant language, and she's so fluent in English that I thought I'm talking to a girl whose mother tongue is English, and I think she even knows a little French, and there's no generation gap between us." ”
Grosso, whose ancestors were French and immigrated to the United States, spoke very quickly and unconsciously brought a French word or two, just like Mandarin with a dialect or two.
International students who don't know French and have average English skills have a headache when they take his classes.
"Her English has always been so good," Kevin echoed Grosso.
"I heard you knew her a few years ago, when she was just a high school student?"
"Well, yes," Kevin replied a little vaguely.
Grosso didn't ask much, "You have a lot of fate with this girl, I suggest you dig her into your own company, oh no, I want to dig her into my lab first, she's also in her fourth year of college, and she will graduate next year!" ”
"Minglin's company is doing very well, she may not want to," Kevin took a sip of his glass.
Back in his room from the bar, Kevin opened his laptop and found the email Ye Tang sent to him four years ago, and he had kept the article for so long.
He was willing to help the girl at first out of compassion, sympathy, and commercial purposes, and for charity, to support poor children in Africa. He didn't think anything about it, and he didn't associate Ye Tang with his Chinese ex-girlfriend, so after leaving China, he never contacted Ye Tang again.
Until one day, he suddenly received a phone call, the other party was a real estate company. When his ex-girlfriend's New York house was listed for sale by her heirs, the staff went into her house to count the items and found something that belonged to him, so they called him and asked him if he wanted more.
Kevin personally drove to get things.
He and Ye Tang had lived together in this house for a short time, and there were several sets of his clothes in her closet, and his clothes were all high-fashion, and his name was written on the label, and the real estate company found him.
Picking up the items and signing the confirmation documents, Kevin saw her ex-girlfriend's full name in Chinese: "TangYe" instead of CandyYe on her passport.
He immediately thought of Ye Tang, the little girl who was far away in China!
The names of the two men are exactly the same.
Is there such a coincidence in the world?
Kevin is not surprised that he has the same name and surname, there are countless people in the United States named Amy and Tom......
But under this premise, Ye Tang did give him a sense of familiarity, and he had always wondered how a poor Chinese female high school student could know his private email address and speak authentic English.
Now listen to Grosso, she can also speak French?
Coincidentally, Candy also speaks French.
At noon the next day, Ye Tang received a call from Professor Grosso,
"Hello, Tang," Grosso said enthusiastically on the phone, "I would like you to be my interpreter during my time in China, I wonder if you would like to?" ”
Ye Tang heard the earnest expectation in his tone, "It can be ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Grosso laughed, "That's great, thank you, dear Tang." ”
Ye Tang: "......"
Later, she learned that the school had assigned a student interpreter to Grosso, a student from the School of Foreign Languages, who was very good, but probably because of insufficient practical experience.
Changing the translation halfway, of course A University has no opinion, anyway, Ye Tang is also a student of this school.
Ye Tang is a god-level classmate, she works as a translator, and everyone is not surprised, which reminds some students of the long-standing live hot search - Ye Tang also served as a translator for the president of UYX, and when she was in high school, her English level was shocked.
Professor Grosso's lecture was packed, and the largest lecture hall in the school was still almost broken, not only in the back rows, but also in the corridors outside. Artificial intelligence involves not only computers, but also mathematics, electronics, etc., everyone is familiar with his name, this is his first time to come to Chinese mainland for academic exchanges, everyone cherishes this opportunity, especially the senior graduating students.
The school also gave priority to the students in mathematics, science and information science in their fourth year.
When Professor Grosso appeared, the audience erupted in applause. It's October, the weather is neither hot nor cold, he is wearing a dark blue long-sleeved shirt, casual style, he looks very young, he himself is well maintained, but not as handsome as Kevin, wearing metal-rimmed glasses, and a heavier academic temperament.
And the girl who followed him was not inferior at all, Ye Tang wore a dark blue dress with him, a simple and generous student style, not as business as in the product launch conference.
"Hello everyone, I'm Grosso, and it's an honor to be here to meet you," Grosso stood in front of the microphone, scanning the audience, the applause slowly subsided, and then quiet again, and everyone listened attentively. But many of his classmates couldn't keep up with his rhythm, and when they listened, they found that they couldn't understand.
Fortunately, with Ye Tang here, Professor Grosso translated every sentence into Chinese, which was fast and accurate. Her calm and calm appearance amazed the students in their hearts.
Most people have never had direct contact with Ye Tang, and their understanding of her is stuck in the state of "only hearing about her people", and now they finally really see her power, she is also a senior student, why is there such a big difference?
The theme of the lecture was "Artificial Intelligence", and Grosso first talked about the development of artificial intelligence in today's world, and then introduced the research results of his laboratory in the field of artificial intelligence in recent years.
He did not hesitate to share his teaching PPT at MIT with everyone, and every data and conclusion is exclusive.
Students can't take notes, turn on the mobile phone camera to record, and go back to continue reviewing.
There is a vignette in which Grosso cuts in with a small fable when telling a point of knowledge.
The story is set in France more than 1,000 years ago, which is very ancient, and it is the kind of folk tale that has been passed down by word of mouth, and he describes it in French.
Even if their English is good, the students who could keep up with Grosso's rhythm before couldn't understand it, and they all looked at the translator Ye Tang.
