Chapter 248: Translation

If there is anything in this world that Junxin is afraid of, then it must be to accompany the girl to go shopping. From morning to five o'clock in the afternoon, for a whole day, Junxin had to follow Gu Mengxue's side from store to store.

Sure enough, it is not a good choice to accompany girls shopping, and there is nothing to do as coolies, but they always bargain repeatedly for a thing before shopping, and often go to another store without buying it in the end, which makes Junxin feel very uncomfortable and psychologically uncomfortable. The so-called baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say that's what it means.

"Mengxue, I found out that your eloquence is so good, it's really a pity not to be a speaker!" On the way back, Junxin couldn't help but complain.

"You want to say that I have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, what are you doing with such a big bend?" Gu Mengxue said with a blank face.

"How dare I say you!" Jun Xin couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said a little speechlessly, "Today, you are killing all over the town in these shops, and this bargaining skill is definitely countable." Don't you see the expressions of those bosses who are distressed and have to sell? It's so funny. ”

"What is my little skill, I learned it from my mother!"

"Wow, so our mother is so powerful?"

"Scared?"

"It's not aimed at me, what am I afraid of?" Jun Xin pouted and said. He estimated that he would be an old pedant in the future, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to these things, but after all, the other party might become his mother-in-law, so he was a little bottomless in his heart.

"Okay, stop talking so much nonsense, help me move my things to my dorm." Gu Mengxue commanded.

"Got it!" Junxin responded a little listlessly.

Princeton's student housing is a mix and match on a first-come, first-served basis, so there are often three or four people in a room and almost no people from the same department, and it's really rare for students from the same math department like Junxin and Alforth to live in the same apartment. The other three people living with Gu Mengxue are Jelumina, a junior in physics, Lillian, a freshman in history, and Luna, a sophomore in law school. Junxin knew that the relationship between the four of them was relatively good, because Gu Mengxue often mentioned the three of them in conversations, except for Jerumina who often went there to eat because she was accepted by the higher community cafeteria in her junior year, the other three would often go to the public cafeteria to eat together, and the relationship was still relatively good.

"It's the first time I've entered a girls' dormitory when I'm so big, and I feel a little weird!" Standing at the door of Gu Mengxue's dormitory, Junxin pretended to be calm and sighed.

"Yo, do you always want to go into the girls' dormitory?" Gu Mengxue asked with a dangerous smile on her face.

"This thought never comes to my mind!" Junxin replied without hesitation, not caring at all about Gu Mengxue digging a hole for herself, "Probably what can usually appear in my mind may be which mathematical formula, which calculation method is a little more!" ”

"Cut, you're a fool, just like Jelumina!" Gu Mengxue pursed her lips and said, obviously very dissatisfied with Junxin's answer.

"Of course, most of them are thinking about you when they are not thinking about the problem!" Junxin suddenly said with a smile.

Gu Mengxue was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at coaxing people!" ”

Junxin couldn't help but smile and said, "It's good that you didn't say something like "Why don't you say that most of the time you don't think about me is thinking about problems", otherwise I would be really overwhelmed!" ”

"Hmph, come in, they're not here!" Gu Mengxue opened the door of the dormitory and beckoned Junxin to hurry into the house.

Junxin visited Gu Mengxue's dormitory a little, looked at it with his obsessive-compulsive eyes a little, and slightly praised his girlfriend's nest. The interior layout and cleanliness that Junxin, who has his own obsessive-compulsive disorder, can admit is enough to prove that Gu Mengxue may also be a person with cleanliness or obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"The clean-up is impeccable, Mengxue, you definitely have the potential to be a good wife and mother!" Junxin did not hesitate to praise himself.

"Do you think very proudly that you won't have to take care of the housework with me in the future, and you will take a housekeeper back?" Gu Mengxue looked at Junxin with a smile and asked.

"I just said you'd be a good helper!" Junxin didn't go down on this topic, and said simply and crisply.

"You're going to be proud!" Gu Mengxue poured a glass of water for Junxin, and then sat next to Junxin by himself.

"Since your mentor has asked you to work as a translator, do you have any plans?" Jun Xin wisely diverted the topic and asked.

Gu Mengxue glared at Junxin dissatisfied, but still replied: "I said before that I plan to translate Thoreau's "Walden", because it is the first time to translate, so it will take about half a year, which can also be used as a result of my exchange at Princeton University!" ”

"What I'm asking is do you have a specific plan?" Junxin frowned slightly and asked, "You haven't worked in translation before, so what kind of preparation did you have in the early stage?" When does translation start? How do I control the process? How to solve the problem? Is there a backup plan? Have you ever thought about these questions? ”

Gu Mengxue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it necessary to prepare so many things just to translate a book?" ”

Junxin shook his head and said, "These are the things I need to consider when I do scientific research projects. I don't know if these things are necessary for your translation work, but I think you might as well be prepared, and I think it will always work. ”

"What about you? What do you think? Gu Mengxue didn't know how to answer, but he thought that Junxin was also going to start translating some mathematical works, so he asked him first.

"My goal is also set, I want to translate a general mathematics manual, the goal is tentatively set in the Soviet Union's "Mathematics Handbook", later the book was borrowed by Germany and added a lot of content, not long ago I learned from Professor Wiles, this book is currently being translated by the University of Oxford as an important work, named "Oxford Mathematics Guide". Since Germany, which was once a big country in mathematics, recommended it and valued by Oxford, it shows that this book is still very forward-looking. ”

"As for the plan, I have made a rough schedule, and the preliminary preparations have begun, which is expected to be completed during the Christmas holidays. In addition, I plan to borrow some materials from the library, and I plan to send invitations to several professors in China and Chinese professors such as Professor Qiu and Professor Chen, and hope that they will give their opinions after the book is completed. ”

"......" Gu Mengxue was completely speechless.
