Wu Dao decided to find something to do for Shi Qingqing, and when he got married for more than two months, he told Shi Qingqing about self-examination, if Shi Qingqing used his free time to read books, he would naturally no longer be keen on boring TV series.

Wu Dao didn't expect that Shi Qingqing was also very interested in self-examination, which made him overjoyed. Shi Qingqing said:

"When I was a child, I also really wanted to go to university, but my grades were too bad when I was in junior high school, and I didn't get into high school, so I came out to work. If I could get a university degree by self-examination, then I would be a college student.

Otherwise, I always feel that the gap between the two of us, one in the sky and the other in the ground, is too big. When I'm alone at home, I often feel unworthy of you, and I'm afraid that one day you will regret marrying me, and you will dislike me and don't want me anymore. ”

"How so? I've never disliked you, otherwise I wouldn't have married you. Now that you're married, you won't regret it. Wu Dao said.

"I didn't study well before, do you think I can take the self-exam?"

"It's going to be fine, isn't there still me? You can take the self-examination of Fangzhou College. ”

"Also, with you, a university teacher, teaching me, I will definitely succeed. You say, what should I study? ”

"I'm a liberal arts major, and if you study science, I won't be able to, so I can't teach you, so you'd better major in liberal arts."

"If you don't say that I won't study science, when I was in junior high school, physics, chemistry, and mathematics were very poor, and it was easier to learn liberal arts. What majors are there in the liberal arts? ”

"There are many majors, including Chinese language and literature, history, foreign languages, law, etc., what do you like?"

"What do you teach?"

"I teach foreign literature."

"Then I'll study foreign literature."

"Foreign literature is not a major, it's just a course."

"It's so complicated."

"Actually, it's not complicated, think about it, do you have many courses in elementary school and junior high school? It's the same in college, there are many majors in college, and each major has many different courses to take. ”

"Do you have to take math, chemistry, physics, and English in college?"

"Liberal arts majors don't study science courses such as mathematics, chemistry, and physics, and if you take the self-exam, you need to learn English for undergraduates, and you don't need to study for junior colleges."

"Then I'll just take the junior college exam, I have a headache when I look at English, I haven't learned Chinese yet, and I can't learn English."

"Then let's take the college entrance examination by yourself, what major do you want to study? The foreign literature I teach is a course that belongs to the Chinese language and literature major, do you want to study Chinese language and literature? ”

"Whatever major you are, I will study whatever major, just learn the major you said."

"Do you like literature?"

"What is literature, is it writing? I don't like to write essays, I didn't know how to write when I was in school, and I didn't know what to write when I picked up a pen. ”

"Literature is not just about writing, it's about reading a lot of books. Only by reading more books will you write articles. Good articles are not taught by teachers, but read by oneself. ”

"It's so troublesome, what books do you have to read?"

"A lot, Chinese literature, foreign literature, modern and ancient, you have to read it."

"Do you still want to read ancient books? I hate reading classical Chinese the most, I can't read it at all. Can't you take a self-exam without reading these books? ”

"You can take the self-exam without reading, just read the textbook, and memorize the knowledge points on the textbook. However, that is just a degree, and I still can't write an article. ”

"I don't want to write articles, I just want to take a graduation certificate, and with a graduation certificate, I am a college student."

"Have you thought about taking the Chinese language and literature major by yourself?"

"I've figured it out."

"Then I'll buy the textbook online for you."

"You are so good to me, I will definitely study hard."

Wu Dao bought a complete set of self-examination textbooks for Chinese language and literature majors on the Internet for Shi Qingqing. Shi Qingqing was very energetic at the beginning, and after receiving the textbooks, she also went to buy a notebook for studying, ready to start self-study.

Because Wu Dao taught foreign literature classes, she first read the textbook "History of Foreign Literature" and was full of confidence, but after she really started reading, she found that she couldn't read most of the content of the book, and she was sleepy when she read the book.

Shi Qingqing originally thought that Wu Dao could explain to her when she encountered something she didn't understand, so that she could learn it, but when Wu Daozhen told her, she found that his words were as difficult to understand as the words in the book. When studying ancient Greek literature, Shi Qingqing asked Wu Dao:

"Why do foreigners call Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides such strange names? The books they wrote are also so strange, what are the names of "Orestea" and "Oedipus the King", many words are not known without looking up the dictionary, why don't they have a simple name? ”

"It's not strange that these names are transliterated." Wu Dao said.

"What is transliteration?"

"It is translated into Chinese according to the pronunciation of their names, and their names are translated into whatever Chinese characters they like. Lincoln, Roosevelt, have you heard of it? ”

"Lincoln, I've heard people say, it's like a car. I don't know about Roosevelt, but I think it's a good name, the surname is Luo, it's called Sever, and his parents must have been very educated. ”

"Lincoln is a car, but it's also a personal name, a very famous person in American history. Roosevelt was not a man with the surname Rowe and a man named Saffle, he was also an American. Wu Dao sighed and said.

"What are the two of them doing?"

"They're all presidents of the United States."

"Which of them is positive and who is deputy?"

"Both of them are good presidents."

"Are there two presidents in the United States, and who is the number one of them?"

"They're not one term, they're many years apart, they're not two people going to be presidents together. These two people haven't heard of it, but you've always heard of Shakespeare, right? ”

"Shakespeare knows he's an American writer, right?"

"It's not American, it's British."

"I used to learn Shakespeare when I was in school, and I forgot which country it was."

"Shakespeare is the transliteration, his original name was William Shakespeare. Is the latter word Shakespeare a bit similar to Shakespeare? ”

"It's kind of like that."

In fact, it is not only the names of these foreigners that are transliterated, but also the ethnic minorities in northwest China, such as the Kazakhs, Uyghurs, etc., whose own language is not Chinese, and their Chinese names are transliterated.

I know a Kazakh named Santana, whose name is pronounced like Santana, and his Chinese name is Santana. ”

"There are still Chinese who don't speak Chinese, so are they still Chinese?" That person's name is Santana, that's weird, right? ”

"There are 56 ethnic groups in China, you should know this, right?"

"Of course I do."

"Originally, each ethnic group had its own language, but later many ethnic groups abandoned their own language and switched to Chinese, and some ethnic groups retained their own language. They speak their own language and learn Chinese. No matter what language they speak, they are all Chinese.

Name transliteration is to pronounce what Chinese characters are like, and it is translated into whatever name, which is not strange or strange. If you think about it the other way, if you transliterate the names of foreigners and ethnic minorities, you think it is very strange, and if the names of Han Chinese are transliterated into foreign languages and minority languages, will people also think it is very strange?

For example, Confucius is Confucius in English, Mencius is Mencius in English, and British and Americans would not call such names. ”

"The more you talk about me, the more confused I become. The names of these foreigners are too difficult to remember, otherwise I would better read "History of Chinese Literature" first, I at least know the names of Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, or Chinese names sound pleasant and easy to remember. ”

"It's okay, then let's study "History of Chinese Literature" first."

In this way, Shi Qingqing changed her plan, planning to study "History of Chinese Literature" first, and then "History of Foreign Literature", but after a few days, she found that ancient Chinese literature was also difficult to learn, and there were many ancient texts mixed in the textbooks, which she couldn't understand at all.

"The Book of Songs" and "Lisao" made her scratch her head, Wu Dao explained to her, the more she listened, the more confused she became, and felt that these poems were written very ridiculously, reeds and big mice can also be written into poems, Qu Yuan is obviously a man, but he wants to write himself as a beauty......

Shi Qingqing felt that ancient Chinese literature was too difficult to study, so she changed her plan and decided to study "History of Contemporary Chinese Literature" first, then "History of Modern Chinese Literature", and finally "History of Chinese Literature" and "History of Foreign Literature".

However, after persisting for less than a week, Shi Qingqing had the intention of giving up again, although "History of Contemporary Chinese Literature" can read the text, but she feels that it is difficult to understand, she does not understand why so many writers and works are written in a textbook, each writer writes differently, which is too embarrassing.

At this time, Shi Qingqing no longer had the enthusiasm to learn.

Wu Dao saw that Shi Qingqing was really not suitable for studying literature, so he suggested that she study history, which was relatively easy. Although Chinese language and literature and history are two different majors, there are several public courses that are the same, so Wu Dao asked Shi Qingqing to study public courses first, so Shi Qingqing happily went to study public courses.

After watching it for a few days, Shi Qingqing found that the public classes were also obscure, and his enthusiasm for learning dropped again.

Hearing Wu Dao say that all majors should learn these public courses, she had the intention of giving up the self-examination, but she was embarrassed to say to Wu Dao, so she had to pretend to read carefully every day, but in fact, she didn't understand anything, and she was thinking about other things.

After a long time, Wu Dao also understood that Shi Qingqing was indeed not a material for reading, so he no longer mentioned the matter of self-examination. Although Shi Qingqing has no intention of studying, in front of Wu Dao, he will still pretend. Wu Dao felt very ridiculous, so he told her to give up the self-examination. Shi Qingqing looked at Wu Dao and said:

"So what's the matter, I've spent so much money to buy all the books back, I must keep studying, and I must get a college diploma."

"In fact, academic qualifications are not that important, if you want to learn, you can continue to study, if you don't want to learn, you won't study." Wu Dao said.

Shi Qingqing insisted on reading the book for a few days, feeling that it was too boring, and remembered what Wu Dao said, and felt that academic qualifications were not a big deal, before Wu Dao married himself, he knew that he only graduated from junior high school, since he was willing to marry himself, he didn't care about his academic qualifications, since he didn't care, why did he bother to read and study?

Thinking of this, Shi Qingqing decided to give up the self-examination.

gave up the self-examination, Wu Dao still hoped that Shi Qingqing could make progress, so he often borrowed some easy-to-understand literary works from the library to show her, hoping that she could become a little connotative, but the result still made him cry and laugh.

Instead of improving his literary accomplishment, Shi Qingqing often used the plots of love, cheating, extramarital affairs, and voyeurism described in the book as topics to Wu Dao, as if those writers wrote books for readers to read.

Once, Shi Qingqing also asked Wu Dao if the writer who wrote a certain literary masterpiece was a pervert. Wu Dao felt helpless from the bottom of his heart, and he no longer gave Shi Qingqing any books to read.

Looking at Shi Qingqing, Wu Dao remembered what Jing Like said, people's artistic talent is innate, and it cannot be cultivated the day after tomorrow, no matter how many books Shi Qingqing reads, he can't become Si Baifang.

Shi Qingqing didn't like to read books in the first place, she just watched a lively look, more to cater to Wu Dao, Wu Dao didn't lend her books, she just got rid of the burden and went to watch her favorite TV series again. Wu Dao shook his head secretly and didn't care about her anymore.
