Chapter 249: Akari is an assistant teacher, but in fact a lecturer

To be honest, Junxin doesn't know how to translate. But fortunately, he knows that translation is a technical task, so it may be a good idea to use the method of scientific research to carry out research. Isn't the so-called scientific way of thinking using the idea of scientific research to guide one's own actions?

But this is also where Gu Mengxue is more speechless. Literature, art, and science and technology have never been the same tone of development. The things formed by literature and art are called culture, and the things formed by science and technology are called civilizations. The development path of the two is different, and the most used methods can be used for reference, where can anyone directly copy the rigid formula?

"Translation is about faith, reach, and elegance, and there is no definite answer or conclusion, and it needs to be constantly revised. It's not necessarily a good thing to make a plan! Gu Mengxue couldn't help but say.

"Oh!" Junxin realized his mistake at this time, but he was not embarrassed, but said thoughtfully: "It seems that I chose to translate with you, this step is the right one, otherwise I don't know how many detours I will take!" ”

"However, you are translating professional books, which is different from the literary books I translate, literary books not only require accuracy, but also need to ensure the beauty of the article, and need to combine the characteristics of the two languages to modify the article, which is a major difficulty in the translation of literary texts. However, you are translating professional books, so the requirements are relatively low, as long as the characteristics of accuracy are met, there is basically no problem. Gu Mengxue pointed with a smile.

"Well, I see!" Junxin nodded in response.

"Okay, it's the Christmas holidays, and both time and venue are relatively free, so let's start tomorrow, what do you think?" Gu Mengxue asked.

"I don't have a problem with that. In fact, for us, the real Christmas is tomorrow, it is a day that is truly worth remembering, and it is more meaningful to start tomorrow! Jun Xin shook his head and looked at the far east, and muttered in a low voice.

"Tomorrow?" Gu Mengxue blinked.

"For the West, where Christian culture is prevalent, the birth day of Jesus, the religious figure in Christianity, is Christmas. However, for Chinese, who have been living in dire straits in modern times, December 26 is the real Christmas! Junxin seemed to think of a certain year in the future, the day after Christmas, in the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall in BJ.

"Hmm!" Gu Mengxue didn't say anything, just mumbled and fell into silence with Jun Xin.

After a long time, Jun Xin came back to his senses and said to Gu Mengxue: "Okay, the things have also been bought, and the next study and life plan has roughly come to fruition, then I will go back first, and see you in the library tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, see you at the library!"

Bidding farewell to Gu Mengxue, Junxin dragged his tired body in the direction of his dormitory. Hesitation hasn't rested much in the last few days, so it's obvious that his spirit is not very good, so he didn't notice until someone called him a few times on the road.

"Miss Moona, is Professor Feverman looking for me?" Junxin asked. In fact, Princeton University has assigned teaching assistants to almost every professor and associate professor, as well as to some distinguished lecturers. The Department of Mathematics is certainly no exception. There were about forty or fifty teaching assistants in total.

Because Junxin often attends the professors' afternoon tea and finds the professors from time to time to discuss related issues, he knows almost all the teaching assistants in the mathematics department. Of course, correspondingly, all the teaching assistants in the mathematics department know Junxin who is a special person in Princeton.

In general, although Junxin is familiar with various professors in the Princeton Department of Mathematics, he has more contacts with Professor Mirno, who is currently in charge of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Professor Feverman, who is in charge of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, and Professor Thurston, who is not weaker than the two in the Princeton Department of Mathematics. In addition, Professors Wiles, Griffiths, and Faltins, who currently work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, have relatively more contacts with Professor Shekel at the university, while other professors have relatively more academic contacts, and the others are almost non-existent.

Correspondingly, he naturally has more contact with the teaching assistants of these professors. One of them, Miss Moona, is Professor Feverman's teaching assistant.

"I don't know, but Professor Feverman asked me to ask you to come over and say there's news for you. Also Professor Mirno and President William are there! ”

"Mr. Headmaster is there too?" Junxin couldn't help but be a little surprised. If it was just Professor Feverman and Professor Mirno, it would be better to say, after all, the two of them could be regarded as Junxin's peers, and nine times out of ten they invited themselves to discuss mathematical problems. But if Principal William is also there, it will not be a discussion of mathematics, it must be the school's decision, and this decision is closely related to itself.

"Let's go!" Blind thinking was not Junxin's style, so he simply didn't bother the god, and followed directly behind Miss Moona, walking in the direction of Professor Feverman's office.

"I'm sorry to disturb your Christmas, but I've decided to hear from you after a lot of discussion with the two professors in light of the Board's considerations made yesterday." As soon as he walked into Professor Feverman's office, President William stood up and apologized to Junxin, which made Junxin a little confused.

"I... I don't understand, the headmaster... What are you—" Junxin asked in surprise.

"That's right!" As the owner of this office, Professor Feverman said: "The school board made a relevant decision on your issue a few days ago, and finally passed this decision by 11 votes in favor, 2 votes against and 2 abstentions, and the content of the decision is to appoint you as a teaching assistant in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, and actually serve as a lecturer. ”

Junxin couldn't stop being surprised at this time, opened his mouth wide and looked at the three of them, and asked, "Me?" Tutor? Lecturer? ”

"Yes!" Principal William nodded in confirmation of Junxin's statement.

"Why? Am I just an exchange student? Junxin was stunned by the board's decision. The minimum number of teaching assistants at Princeton University is to be a Ph.D. graduate from a prestigious university. What's more, this is still the most powerful math department in Princeton? If you want to work as a teaching assistant, you must have at least a Ph.D. from a well-known university and a letter of recommendation from an academic in the industry. If you want to become a lecturer, you must at least have graduated from an Ivy League university, and be recommended by a well-known person in the industry or a top mathematician. Junxin doesn't think that he can't reach the level, but he doesn't have that qualification at all, so he never thought about it.

"What about exchange students? In fact, after you came to Princeton, the atmosphere of the mathematics department is obviously much better than before, according to the relevant media comments, this year's Princeton mathematics department will be the first in the world, which can be more than half of your credit! Principal William said without hesitation.

"But I'm not qualified enough, am I?" Junxin said worriedly.

"Professors Mirno and Fefferman are happy to write letters of recommendation, and even professors in mathematics departments throughout Princeton are happy to write them. As for academic qualifications, Princetonians have the courage to break with the conventions of the past, and we need real talent, not so-called qualifications! Principal William said very domineeringly.

"Alright then, I accept the invitation!" Junxin finally agreed.
