The campus is extremely quiet, with only the regular footsteps of men and Louise, polyphonic intertwined, like Bach's twelve equal laws, orderly, balanced, and rigorous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

To outsiders, these are two boring and depressed people.

Only oneself understands, understands each other, and is beautiful in the inner person.

No one appreciated it.

Even the security guards have left the campus, and there is naturally no chef in the cafeteria.

Silent eye contact.

A little apology haunted Louise.

"My bad." The man shrugged, walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, checked the kitchenware, and looked at Louise with a smile: "If you don't mind, try my craft?" ”

"You know how to cook?" Louise still has a smooth voice.

"Yes." The man nodded slightly.

Men who can cook, regardless of location, nationality, and whatever type of woman, will appreciate it, and Louise is no exception.

"Thank you." Louise nodded indifferently, but there were ripples in her heart.

"Is there anything taboo?"

The man in a formal suit, standing upright, holding a shovel in a daze, asked Louise to say, "I think here, no." ”

……

The meals are simple and tasty.

In the empty restaurant, Louise couldn't help but feel a sense of home.

During the meal, neither the man nor Louise spoke.

Louise appreciates the feeling of quietness, but Louise worries......

Over the years, Louise has come to realize that taking the initiative is not my choice, nor is it the choice of people like me.

Two people who are too synchronized......

Thinking of this, Louise laughed at herself in her heart, there was no beginning and no end, thinking too much.

At the end of the meal, Louise and himself were poured a glass of sherry before the man spoke: "What do you think about the impact of different languages?" ”

Louise thought for a moment, "Makes sense, but it's not entirely true. Affecting cognition, the most typical and easy to understand are color and time. You know, English, French, and Russian are all a little more precise in terms of time expression than Chinese. Of course, with complex expressions, Chinese can also describe the precise time, but it is not easy to express, and it is difficult for those who listen to it to understand. Because it is extremely infrequently used. Only if they are commonly used, they are easy to understand each other. ”

There are also counter-examples, such as the famous myth that "snow is so important in the lives of Eskimos that they are able to distinguish between different states or stages of snow with different concepts, and there are more than a hundred words for snow in Eskimos." Based on morphemes, adding different descriptions and suffixes, whether in English or Chinese, can be combined into thousands of words and phrases to describe snow. Eskimo words are not new. ”

"The cognitive influence, yes, is that different languages have different morphemes to express colors, and there are some languages that inherently have to recognize more basic colors, such as Russian. As a result, Russians are more recognizable than Americans are able to recognize similar colors. ”

"These are broad and well-known examples that are easy to explain to non-language and translation professionals. However, I personally believe that in terms of basic vocabulary, there are very few differences between different cultures, and the possibility of affecting cognition is also very small. The impact on cognition should be more grammatical. ”

"You know Russian, those declension conjugations, it's very difficult for beginners, and I've heard some students in Asian countries complain that it's like a recipe for them."

The man smiled: "So this is the reason why many Russians are good at math?" ”

Louise also laughed: "I think culture affects cognition more, and language is the carrier of culture, and it is only a carrier. Learning culture is what really impacts cognition. ”

In "Advent", language changes cognition is the core, and both the analysis on the Internet and the author himself agree with this.

The director is even more based on this, filming "Arrival".

And Louise, as the protagonist of "Advent", didn't particularly agree that language changes cognition, so how did she learn the seven-limbed barrel language, and how did she use this language to predict the future?

……

Before leaving the restaurant, Louise watched with admiration as the man packed up his plates and utensils, leaving the cash behind.

In the afternoon, the two talked for a while, and the man naturally said goodbye and left.

During this period, no one cared about the arrival of aliens.

The process is harmonious, harmonious and plain, like a glass of still water.

……

After the man left, Louise stayed silently in the lonely office for a few minutes, her expression a little bitter.

This is the expected result, the inevitable result.

There are no surprises, no surprises, no excitement, no passion.

There was no sound in the quiet of the campus, and Louise glanced at the gray sky outside the window, took out the mirror, and straightened her hair.

Packed up his things step by step, locked the office, and walked out the door gently.

As she walked, she called her mother and told her that she was business as usual, that she didn't know anything more about aliens, that the news was the same, that the news was no different.

As always, as in all past days, there was no tension, no excitement.

Crossing the bottom of the bridge and walking to the parking lot, Louise was surprised to see the man again.

"Mom, I'm fine. Okay, I'll call you again, bye. ”

Louise hung up, walking a little faster.

For the first time in several years, indescribable surprises and surprises filled my mind.

Strong, not intense, complex, simple, Louise can't even tell.

Men just stand there, ordinary.

There is no sunlight, no shadows, and the sky is gray.

The expression was neither surprise nor disappointment, just like his whole person, quiet and reserved.

Louise suppressed her faster heartbeat and walked up to the man: "Are you still there?" ”

The man shrugged his shoulders and gave a warm smile: "Bad news, the highway is blocked." The nearby hotel couldn't get through, and it looked like I'm going to spend the night in the car tonight. ”

"I ......" burst out of her mouth and Louise forcibly retracted it. That's unfortunate. ”

"What to do, the aliens have found a good life." The man spread his hands with a hazy smile on his face.

"Well, yes, aliens." Louise couldn't figure out how to proceed.

"It's like a vacation, maybe a few days, and it's not so easy to calm outside. It's a rare experience, I've never been in such an empty and quiet campus. ”

The man looked around wistfully, and Louise looked at the man, clutching the book on her chest.

"Are you going home?" The man asked.

"Yes."

Louise regretted blurting out the answer.

"If we're not in a hurry, maybe we can continue to talk." There was a hint of anticipation in the man's voice.

"Go to my house."

Ethereal, distant, so that Louise could not realize who was making a sound, only clenched the book, and her white fingers proved to exist......

PS: What do you think about the wrong award?

The Best Picture envelope is misloaded with personal honors, and Emma Stone will be remembered forever with the Oscars, and may even be popularized by future generations.

The best heroine ten years ago, the best heroine twenty years ago, who else remembers?

Maybe the scene reacted.

Neither political correctness nor self-entertainment can be the biggest winner, only fat girls can......
