"Letter, do you want to spend Christmas together?" Early the next morning, Gu Mengxue picked up Junxin, who had been busy all night, from the bed as if she had entered a no-man's land, and asked excitedly.

Junxin was busy all night yesterday, sorting out the discussion of some issues in the conversation with Levest and others the day before yesterday, and didn't fall asleep until late at three or four o'clock, at this time it was just half past six, and Junxin, who had only slept for two or three hours, didn't have enough rest at all, but it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm of the beauty.

"Christmas is Christmas, it's not our holiday, why come early in the morning and disturb me so that I can't sleep?" Jun Xin asked with a sigh of relief.

"Haven't you heard of the so-called "follow the local customs?" Gu Mengxue said with a grin.

Junxin smiled disdainfully: "I heard that the things sold in the store in the town are on sale today, and it is a fake for Christmas, so you are worried about the three walnuts and two dates in the store, right?" ”

"Do you want to come with me?" Gu Mengxue didn't care about Junxin's tone at all, and said with her hands on her hips.

"Yes, if you lack someone to carry your bag, just say it!" If you want to say who Junxin is most familiar with, it has to belong to Gu Mengxue, so after a few words, even guessing and foolishly have already figured out Gu Mengxue's idea.

"So are you up or not?" Just when Junxin was thinking about whether he should pose a mighty and unyielding husband, Gu Mengxue's unpredictable voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which immediately drove away his sleepiness and made the whole person sober.

"That's pretty much it!" Gu Mengxue looked at Junxin who wanted to cry without tears with a proud face.

Jun Xin wailed: "My little aunt, you must know that I didn't go to bed until three o'clock last night, and I just fell into a deep sleep, yes, this kid is all in the soup!" ”

"You went to be a thief at night?" If it was usual, Gu Mengxue would have looked at Junxin with an apologetic face, and then hurriedly let him lie down without saying a word and let him continue to sleep. However, today's Gu Mengxue was obviously a little too excited, and after hearing Junxin say this, she sneered and said: "The three watches are lit and the five watches are chickens, and it is when the boy is studying." The ancients were still hanging on the beam, and the cone was piercing, but you are good, and you are sleeping in bed! Then he showed an expression of "Boy, you are still young, you need to continue to work hard".

In this way, don't say anything. Junxin knows that if he doesn't get up now, he can't do it. Of course, Junxin also knew that this was Gu Mengxue's own good. I'm an otaku, or the kind of super otaku, and I definitely belong to the kind of people who lack exercise in later generations.

In fact, Gu Mengxue had long wanted Junxin to exercise and enhance his physique, so although Junxin was unwilling, he finally accepted Gu Mengxue's kindness.

In ancient and modern times, when it comes to a holiday, there will always be a crowd of people in the market and supermarket, even if Princeton is only a small town. The town where you can't see a few people on weekdays is a little crowded at this time, which makes Junxin experience the atmosphere of the New Year again.

Of course, in fact, Junxin is not wrong, it is indeed the end of the year, so in addition to some gold and silver products in the mall, other products have different degrees of price reductions and discounts. Although Gu Mengxue can be regarded as a second-generation official in China and is rich, after all, foreign countries are not as good as those in China, so after coming to the United States, life is still relatively poor, so it is inevitable to learn to live at home. Of course, there are also Junxin because of various sources, scholarships and fees, etc., most of Junxin is not used in the case, most of them are given to Gu Mengxue, and Gu Mengxue's life is only relatively poor.

"Letter, my supervisor wants me to think about taking part in some literary studies and translation work at the same time, what do you think?" On the way, Gu Mengxue suddenly asked.

"What did he say?" Now Zi Junxin was a little energetic, and asked with interest.

He said that if you want to study the literary works and ideas of a language, you must master the language, and participating in translation work can play a balance between the two, which will be of great help to my future academic research and writing. Gu Mengxue said.

"And what do you think?" Jun Xin probably knew what he thought when he heard Gu Mengxue say this, but he didn't immediately put forward his opinion, but asked Gu Mengxue.

"I'm a little unsure!" Gu Mengxue said honestly, "After all, I am just an exchange student after all, and my study time is only one year, and now that half a year has passed, I don't know if I can translate a book, so I am a little hesitant, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Jun Xin walked silently for a while and said: "My suggestion is that there is no problem at all, you must know that many famous writers and critics and even some academics have started from translation, as far as I know, Mr. Ba Jin and Mr. Bingxin have all been engaged in translation work, which shows the importance of translation work." Although it does not mean that you will be able to become a translator, this platform is indeed very capable of training people, so I support you to do a translation job! ”

"But I'm a little worried!" Gu Mengxue said hesitantly.

Junxin nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I can understand worry, but there is no need to worry." As far as I know, whether it is a professor of literature and art, or a professor of science and engineering, Princeton has a very unique vision, and since your supervisor has mentioned to you that he wants you to participate in translation work, he must have seen that some of your academic shortcomings can be compensated for by translation work, which is also beneficial to your own development."

Gu Mengxue seemed to be convinced, and seemed to have made up her mind: "Okay, since this is the case, I will use this half a year to do a good job of translation, and I also want to make some achievements!" ”

Junxin had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Then have you decided which work to translate?" ”

"The professor has recommended it, but let me choose for myself!"

Junxin nodded, this is a typical Princeton style, he will not give a clear answer, he will only give one or several different directions according to his own experience, and the rest is all his own business.

"And what do you mean?"

"I want to translate Walden!"

"Thoreau's book? That's a great option, but that means you may not have time to spare. Junxin nodded and said.

"That's not as good as you, is it?" Gu Mengxue pursed her lips and said.

"Hehe, I may not have a lot of scientific research tasks below, so it may be relatively easy, mainly focusing on the superstring theory of physics, relatively speaking, my time will be a little more free." This is not nonsense, he has been busy for a semester, and he is indeed a little tired, so when arranging the plan for 82 years, it is mainly based on accumulating knowledge, after all, even in the 80s, a lot of knowledge is still a cutting-edge problem after 50 years, and it still has extremely high research value.

"That's great, if you have time, you can accompany me as a translator!" Gu Mengxue said with a smile, she was really happy that Junxin could have time to work and study with her.

Junxin smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "It just so happens that I also have the idea of translating basic professional books, so we just have time to get together more." ”

"Huh?"

"It's the idea after the publication of the Mizuki-Princeton Guide to Math!" Jun Xin did not hide it and said, "Professor Yau Chengtong recommended some books on topology to me, he is an authority in this area, and the books recommended must be the top in the industry, so I want to translate some and bring them back to China." Well, that's one of the ideas that came to mind when you mentioned translation, how about it? Welcome? ”

"Cut!"
