As a child, Kevin often listened to his grandfather tell about his family's glorious history, saying that the Rupp family was originally a pure descendant of English nobility.

Four hundred years ago, in the English bourgeois revolution, Kevin's ancestors were members of the royalists, and died tragically in the Battle of Marston Prairie in 1644.

During the administration of Cromwell (Oliver_Cromell), Kevin's ancestors were oppressed, and one of them changed his surname to Rupp for refuge.

However, the bourgeois revolution in England was not the end of the glory of the Ruppes. In fact, after the Rupp family lost their fiefdom, they were forced to catch the express train of capitalism because of the current situation, and then unexpectedly became an early capitalist in Britain.

It's a pity that the sun is cloudy, the moon is full of profits and losses, and Kevin's Rupu Fu turned from prosperity to decline in the nineteenth century, and the First World War at the beginning of the twentieth century completely destroyed all the assets of Kevin's ancestors.

No. 235 Who else can there be besides the Spring and Autumn Translation?

Kevin was born into a British family that emigrated to the United States in the early 20th century, and Lupton is a quintessentially English surname. The Croups multiplied for three or four generations to Kevin, and had long since been completely Yankeeized and became a pure, common American family. However, the Hollywood in the movie is not the real Hollywood, and Kevin's character cannot be imagined with the image of a supporting actor in a movie or TV series. Kevin's personality is very introverted, more similar to the stereotype of Chinese society about the programmer community.

In his spare time, Kevin often gives comics.

Japan is light, Kevin has also been in contact with it, and it feels interesting at first reading, but I get tired of reading a few articles. The reason is simple, Kevin can't find a sense of substitution in the light. There are many kinds of otaku, and Kevin thinks that he is a technoku who likes whimsical stories, and should correspond to the English word geek, not otaku.

For Kevin, the protagonist of Japan's light is too homely and wasteful, which is incompatible with his pursuit.

Kevin loves stories that are motivated.

Kevin craves positive energy to get stronger.

The more decadent he becomes, the more Kevin craves positive energy.

Unfortunately, there aren't many wonderful stories like this.

It was 23:27 on this day, but Kevin was idle without sleep: "It's another long and difficult night!" ”

Kevin was idle and bored, and subconsciously sat down in front of his laptop and knocked on the main page of Spring and Autumn Search.

In terms of market share, Spring and Autumn Search is not excellent, ranking behind Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Live_Search before. At first glance, Spring Search is already the fourth largest search engine in the U.S. search market, but in fact, Spring and Autumn Search has a measly 5.2% market share. However, because Wei Dongsheng uses computer intelligence to maintain a technological lead for Google for half a year to a year, the reputation of Spring and Autumn Search is very good. Especially in the computer industry, practitioners generally believe that the technical background of Spring and Autumn Search is better than Google.

Looking around the world's Internet companies, in terms of market capitalization, Google ranks first, Amazon ranks second, and Spring and Autumn Search ranks third. Even if the market share of Spring and Autumn Search is far inferior to Google's, it is still a clear business to look forward to.

After Intel fell into the quagmire, employees flew separately in a catastrophe, and Kevin also tried to find his new life, and submitted resumes to Google, Amazon, and Spring and Autumn Search, three of the top Internet companies. Among the three companies, Kevin claims to have a geek personality and most hopes to get an offer from Spring and Autumn Search. It's a pity that the falling flowers are unintentional, and Kevin's three resumes have all been lost, and there has been no news so far.

Kevin did not give up hope and continued to pay attention to the latest developments of the three companies.

Searching the stock prices of the three companies, Google was $457.52 per share at the beginning of the month and $570.08 per share today, Amazon was $78.46 per share at the beginning of the month and $84.52 per share today, and Spring and Autumn Search was $299.84 per share at the beginning of the month and $336.68 per share today.

Kevin focuses on his first goal, Spring and Autumn Search, and the current hot topic of public opinion is the just-launched Spring and Autumn Translation major version update.

In general, public opinion tends to be negatively criticized, and everyone commented: "Compared with the previous major version updates, this is a regular update that has no value. ”

The negative comments of Spring Translation slightly affected the stock price of Spring Search to a certain extent, with $336.68 per share today, compared to $338.95 per share yesterday, a decrease of about 0.67%. Summarizing the stock price data can lead to the simple conclusion that Spring and Autumn Translation is only a regular business of Spring and Autumn Search after all, and everyone's expectations for it are very low. Although everyone underestimates the value of this major version update of Spring and Autumn Translation, it does not affect them to continue to overestimate the wonderful prospects of Spring and Autumn Search.

Kevin returned to the main page of the Spring and Autumn Search, and was about to test the new version of the Spring and Autumn Translation for himself, when he suddenly found that there was an "Books" option on the side of the translation icon.

Curious, Kevin clicked on the link, and immediately a simple web page popped up, with about twenty books filling the screen in the form of pictures and texts.

The names of the books are all very strange:

Fighting_Universe;

Man_To_God;

……

Kevin looked dazed, and said to himself, what is this?

Randomly select a book, and then randomly select one of the paragraphs, and the content is unexpectedly miserable, not only is the content not only beautiful and elegant, but also encounters errors that contradict English grammar from time to time.

Flipping back to the homepage, Kevin suddenly realized that this was an experimental cooperation between Spring and Autumn Translation and Spring and Autumn Literature, and Spring and Autumn Translation could translate Chinese into English, French, Spanish, Russian and other languages with very little manpower. Realizing that these are machine translations, Kevin's tolerance for this kind of translation suddenly increased significantly, and he felt that this level of translation was not unacceptable.

With the idea of experiencing the quality of the Spring and Autumn translations, Kevin randomly opened a book and read its contents in depth. Initially, Kevin looked critically at the quality of the translation, muttering how the sentence should be described; Sigh that a computer is a computer after all, and the Spring and Autumn Translation did not even properly handle some basic grammar. But as he read and read, Kevin forgot about translation, ridicule, and criticism, and quietly immersed himself in the story in the book, following the protagonist with joy, anger and sorrow, and following the protagonist through the strange world.

It wasn't until an alarm went off that Kevin suddenly woke up.

Looking at the alarm clock, it was 7:20 a.m. the next morning.

Kevin watched it all night without realizing it.

Realizing that it was approaching work time, Kevin hurriedly washed up and went out. Coming to the office, after perfunctorily dealing with the things that had to be solved, Kevin's mind immediately echoed the plot of last night: the protagonist was born in a declining aristocracy, accidentally activated the relics of his ancestors, and constantly fought against the enemy in order to revitalize the family.

For Kevin, the story is particularly immersive.

As a child, Kevin often listened to his grandfather tell about his family's glorious history, saying that the Rupp family was originally a pure descendant of English nobility. Four hundred years ago, in the English bourgeois revolution, Kevin's ancestors were members of the royalists, and died tragically in the Battle of Marston Prairie in 1644. During the administration of Cromwell (Oliver_Cromell), Kevin's ancestors were oppressed, and one of them changed his surname to Rupp for refuge. However, the bourgeois revolution in England was not the end of the glory of the Ruppes. In fact, after the Rupp family lost their fiefdom, they were forced to catch the express train of capitalism because of the current situation, and then unexpectedly became an early capitalist in Britain. It's a pity that the sun is cloudy, the moon is full of profits and losses, and Kevin's Rupu Fu turned from prosperity to decline in the nineteenth century, and the First World War at the beginning of the twentieth century completely destroyed all the assets of Kevin's ancestors.

The stories of my ancestors could only be heard in vain in the past, but last night's story resonated strongly in Kevin's heart. Kevin couldn't help but wonder if his noble ancestors, his capitalist ancestors, also left him an artifact that could be used to recognize the Lord with blood? If you can get this artifact, you may be able to revive your family, and you don't have to worry about being fired by Intel's head O'Dening, and you don't have to worry about not getting offers from Google, Amazon, and Spring and Autumn Search.

Thinking of the plot story, Kevin remembered the history of his family's decline; Thinking of the protagonist with a similar starting point to himself, Kevin couldn't help but substitute for the protagonist and looked forward to the development of the follow-up plot. When the alarm clock rings in the morning, Kevin happens to read a small climax - the protagonist who has practiced magic skills is about to slap the enemy in the face. Kevin couldn't resist the temptation to move forward after all, and after finishing the work at hand, Kevin immediately ignored the constraints of work time, opened last night's book along the Spring and Autumn search homepage path, and continued to read online.

At noon, Kevin read through the cracks.

A colleague beckoned Kevin to dinner, Kevin kept his eyes off the screen, and said casually, "Help me bring a fast food back." ”

The colleague was surprised by Kevin's seriousness or indulgence, and walked straight to Kevin. Approaching Kevin, his colleague was surprised to find that Kevin was not thinking about programming his own work during working hours, Kevin put his finger on the keyboard and pretended to be working, but in fact he was engrossed in staring at the screen. A colleague who is more familiar with Kevin's habits asked, "What, Japan is light?" ”

Kevin corrected: "Huaguo." ”

My colleague was surprised: "There is also a trend in Huaguo?" ”

Kevin: "Yes, and it's very ......"

Kevin thought for more than ten seconds and chose what he thought was the most appropriate adjective: "Very imaginative." ”

My colleague didn't agree with Kevin's opinion, and said with a smile: "Haha, Chinese people have imagination? ”

Kevin understood his colleague's tone.

If it were in the past, Kevin might have accompanied the matter to ridicule two sentences, and Chinese people would only copycat plagiarism, and electronic products were all dangerous bombs. But today, Kevin subconsciously argued for Hua Guo: "At least, this book is very imaginative." In my mind, this one is in no way weaker than Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. ”

Of course, my colleague didn't believe it.

Approaching Kevin's computer screen to read a random paragraph, his colleague immediately showed disdain: "This writing is not as good as my little daughter." ”

Kevin defended his favorite: "It's machine translation. It's remarkable that machine translation can translate to this extent. ”

My colleague has a personal relationship with Kevin, and they both like fantasy stories such as superpower comics. At a glance just now, this text has left a simple impression in the hearts of colleagues: the grammatical structure is simple but the content is bloated, and the choice of words and sentences is very simple, but the meaning is rare and clear. My colleague is a software engineer who understands the current situation and difficulty of machine translation, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock: "This is machine translation?" ”

Kevin preferred to immerse himself in the plot, and did not raise his head to perfunctory colleagues and said, "Yes." ”

Colleague: "Machine translation, really?" ”

Kevin explained two sentences: "I tried to switch to French, and the quality of the French version is on par with the quality of the English version. Who would have the money to hire a translator who has just learned to speak if it weren't for automatic machine translation? ”

A colleague believed Kevin's practice: "Spring and Autumn Translation? ”

Kevin smiled and said, "Who else can there be besides the Spring and Autumn Translator?" It can't be a stupid Google Translate. ”
