Volume 1: Strangers return to their hometowns, and the city is rising! Chapter 56: Is it hard to memorize the Oxford Dictionary?

"Test you?"

Xia Shiyun obviously didn't expect the strictest to say this, and asked again confirmatively.

Before Zuo Yan could answer anything, when he heard Zuo Yan say this, there was a burst of laughter in the class.

What level of Zuo Yan's English, let's not talk about Xia Shiyun, an English teacher, can they not know?

Everyone has a more or less bias in the subject of English.

But for Zuo Yan, this does not exist, because his other subjects are just as bad as English.

It's not much different from someone who hasn't learned English at all, and they can learn a "fuck!" from swearing.

The test papers issued by Xia Shiyun last week are all used in their school mock exams, and the difficulty is definitely not comparable to ordinary practice papers.

The school is not mad at trying to discourage their inflated confidence.

At Zuo Yan's kindergarten level, it would be good if he could understand one word, and he had done it all.

"The old sow up the tree!" he couldn't blow, so everyone was already watching how he was going to make a fool of himself.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, even if you can test me, or you can test my tablemates, but I still think you can test me enough!"

Zuo Yan said lightly, with a confident look, which made Di Nishang on the side a little puzzled, and looked at his table with a puzzled expression.

Xia Shiyun on the side thought for a while, and in order to take care of Zuo Yan's face, she didn't let him translate.

"Forget it, forget it this time, I won't pursue any of you who copied whom, get ready, let's start class. ”

Because she is an English teacher, she naturally knows that Zuo Yan's English score is a few pounds and taels.

So when everyone was preparing to see Zuo Yan's jokes, she ended the farce in order not to make Zuo Yan ugly.

When Xia Shiyun walked back to the podium, Zuo Yan, who was sitting, stood up.

He whispered to Xia Shiyun on the stage and asked, "Don't you believe me?"

Xia Shiyun on the top was stunned for a moment, but she was still patient, and replied: "The teacher believes in you, so please sit down and don't affect the teacher's class, okay?"

Seeing that Xia Shiyun was unwilling to test herself, Zuo Yan would not send it to hit the muzzle of the gun by herself.

"Yes, but if you have any doubts, please ask me questions, and then you will know that I am telling the truth!"

After speaking, he sat down under the eyes of the whole class, and Dini Shang on the side said urgently:

"Where do you get your confidence?"

Zuo Yan pointed to Denishang's "Oxford Advanced English Dictionary", and then pointed to his own head, and said something that did not scare Dinishan to death.

"I memorized it all ......!"

"You...... Back...... Get down...... Done?"

Di Ni was still a little unable to come back to her senses, she looked at the dictionary that was at least seven or eight centimeters thick, and suddenly remembered where Zuo Yan was playing with it in class before.

"What are you kidding, you call that back?"

Although Di Nishang thought so in her heart, she didn't show it, she didn't continue to take care of it strictly, and turned around to listen carefully to the lecture.

Zuo Yan saw her obvious disbelief expression, and didn't explain anything.

He took out the English grammar book and played with it again in the eyes of Dinishang.

Time passed like this, Xia Shiyun on the podium told a short article, she suddenly became interested, and asked the classmates who were interested in getting up and translating.

However, the class was cold at this moment, and everyone was willing to show themselves in front of her.

However, this article is too academic, and many of the words on it have not been seen before.

Although they all went down to check the information, no one was sure that it was all right, so there was a rare silence in the English class.

Seeing this, Tang Yu in the third row said loudly: "Didn't Teacher Zuo Yan say that you should test him?"

He turned around and looked at Zuo Yan behind him with a smile, and said to Zuo Yan with a smile: "I think this is a good opportunity, you say, right?"

As soon as Tang Yu began, the classmates in the class seemed to have found an outlet, and they all coaxed Zuo Yan to translate.

The boy who had been kicked by Zuo Yan before also echoed and said, "That's right, didn't the teacher Zuo Yan say that you should test him?"

Seeing that these children were coaxing again, Xia Shiyun put on a face to control the scene, and she said to Li Na, the representative of the English class in the front row:

"Representative Branch, would you like to get up and translate this article?"

Li Na hurriedly shook her head when she saw that she was being called by the teacher.

"Just kidding, she didn't have a preview today, she didn't know what to say, she didn't want to lose this person. ”

Xia Shiyun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw that her section representatives were reluctant to come up, just when she was about to speak by herself.

An unexpected but expected person stood up and told her that he had come to translate this article for her that no one wanted to try.

The person who stood up was none other than Zuo Yan, whom they coaxed.

Zuo Yan saw that everyone wanted to make a fool of himself, so he tried to translate it to Di Nishang on the side, and asked her to help him see what was wrong.

Then he saw Dinishan's stunned expression, and then he got the answer and stood up.

"You don't have to think about it to know that he must be translating eight or nine from ten, otherwise Di Ni would not have that expression. ”

Xia Shiyun, who was on the podium, saw that Zuo Yan really stood up, and asked again: "Zuo Yan, are you sure you can translate this short article?"

After seeing Zuo Yan nodding, Xia Shiyun said to him: "Then you start!"

To be honest, she didn't believe that Zuo Yan could translate this highly academic text.

Because this is a Nobel Prize awarding speech, some of the words on it are too unpopular.

But Zuo Yan has to translate, so let him try.

After Zuo Yan looked at the textbook slightly, he slowly spoke: "This short article is about Marie Curie's award speech for winning the Nobel Prize. ”

She went to the University of Paris on her own and got two degrees in physics and mathematics. ”

"She taught at the university and was the first female professor ever at the University of Paris......"

“...... You are so beautiful with fame and fortune, you are the street lamp on the road to the development of scientific research, illuminating a better future;"

"You are so beautiful with selfless dedication, you are an example for people to learn from, leading mankind to a more brilliant tomorrow!"

"Thy beauty is imprinted on my heart, and thy dignified image is imprinted on the hearts of all mankind!"

When he said the last sentence, Zuo Yan didn't forget to glance at Xia Shiyun, as if the last sentence was for her.

When Zuo Yan finished saying the last word, the audience fell silent, and you could even hear the sound of some people gasping.

To be honest, Xia Shiyun didn't expect Zuo Yan's translation to be so good, so she asked a few questions halfway, but Zuo Yan answered them fluently.

It's even like an Oxford dictionary, because he says some words that he can't even forget the meaning of.

She tried to calm down the surprise she had given Zuo Yan, and said to him, "You have translated very well, sit down!"

"Let's thank Zuo Yan for the accurate translation!"

"Okay, now I'll explain it to you, everyone looks at the rare word in the second line, Zuo Yan translated it very well just now, it means ......"

Then Xia Shiyun began to explain this text to everyone, and after Zuo Yan sat down here, Dinishang couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Did you really memorize it?"

"If you don't believe it, try it, just find one!"

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Zuo Yan replied indifferently.

Dinishan really didn't believe in this evil, so he opened the dictionary and asked, "What is the third word on page 136?"

"Radium, radium, a radioactive element discovered in France in 1898 by M. Curie and P. Curie!"

"Shhhh......h

Dinisham took a breath and asked, "What's the second paragraph in the afterword?"

"Oxford Advanced English-Chinese Dictionary (4th Edition), Oxford University Press, 1994!"

Hearing that Zuo Yan had even memorized this, he couldn't help but believe the fact that he had memorized the Oxford Dictionary.

He subconsciously asked him, "How did you do that?"

However, the answer Zuo Yan gave her made her want to strangle him to death.

Because he said to her nonchalantly, "It's just a dictionary, is it difficult?"
