Chapter 226: You Can Refuse
At this time, in the crowd, a young man of about twenty-three or fourteen years of age was wearing a handmade, incomparably fine and ornate tuxedo evening gown. Holding a red wine glass in his hand, extremely elegant. With an innate arrogance, he walked out. He said, "Mr. Tang Zheng." You don't think, on such occasions. Speaking Chinese, is this an insult to Quan Shijie? Or are you Chinese so arrogant and uncultivated? ”
The man's voice was a little crisp and not loud, but at this moment, the audience was so silent that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground, let alone such a crisp sound.
The man's words were very direct and sharp, and they were directly aimed at Tang Zheng. Moreover, there was no politeness to Tang Zheng in his words.
Everyone's eyes are on Tang Zheng, who is now looking at this new Nobel laureate, and the youngest winner in the history of the Nobel Prize. Everyone wants to know what will happen to Tang Zheng.
In the midst of the scene, Westerners dominated. Among the Asian races, Koreans and Japanese are happy to see it. Anyway, to be ashamed is to lose China's face, and it has nothing to do with them. Shen Lao and the others frowned.
Guan Shuisheng Guan Lao said in a low voice: "Alas, Xiao Tang, this kid, is really bold. Provoking the rules of these Westerners. Isn't that asking for trouble? It is said that Westerners are open and free. If it were really so open, would there still be infidels, and they would be burned to death? ”
In fact, Guan Lao saw very clearly that in the eyes of outsiders, Westerners are very enlightened, but, in fact, in the Western upper-class aristocratic society, that kind of tradition is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. It's like the countries in the West that still have monarchs. The alternation of the old and new kings can be seen by the coronation of the Pope. They value tradition. In fact, they value tradition even more.
Undoubtedly. Tang Zheng's speech in Chinese here is a provocation to them. Even Dr. Carlson frowned slightly. Stand by and don't speak.
Tang Zheng was not in a hurry at this time. Looking at this man, he smiled and said, "I haven't asked this gentleman for your surname." ”
These words. Tang Zheng still uses Chinese. After being invited to participate in the speech, Tang Zheng had already made up his mind. Why use English. himself as a Nobel laureate. I like to use my mother tongue, and if, you, the upper class, the elite of society, don't even have a translator, it can only be explained. You are discriminatory.
Today's scene, Tang Zheng had already predicted. So, there was no panic at all.
At this time. Naturally, someone translated Tang Zheng's words, and the young man was stunned for a moment, but he was extremely proud: "I am from Monaco, and my name is Andre Kasi." ”
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand that. However, there will always be people who understand, and someone in the crowd has already whispered: "Ah, he is Prince Andrew?" Second in line to the throne. ”
These words naturally made Tang Zheng understand. It turned out to be a prince. No wonder it's so arrogant. Immediately, Tang Zheng's face sank, looked at Andre and said, "I don't know what you mean by cultivation. All I know is that I am a Chinese. I love my country deeply. On such occasions. Such a solemn, such a solemn place. I think, in order to express the high respect in my heart. I speak my native language. to express my truest thoughts and feelings. This is my respect for the Assembly. If you say, a person. Even using one's native language is not cultivated. It's all arrogant and rude words. I don't know, there are any other people in this shijie who will be cultivated. ”
Tang Zheng's words. It immediately aroused a lot of discussions. Tang Zheng's words made people speechless. Patriotism has always been innocent.
After a deep sigh, Tang Zheng said slowly: "I am very grateful to the Nobel Prize Organizing Committee for inviting me sincerely. But let me give up my native language and speak English, I'm sorry, I can't do it. I am a Chinese medicine practitioner and my research is related to Chinese. Personally, I don't have a good command of spoken English. Of course. Even though I am fluent in English, I don't know how to use English because, I think, on such occasions it is a desecration of my country. You can choose to decline. But I defend my right to speak to the death. ”
This quote is a famous quote in the Western legal community. I can refuse, but I will defend your right to speak to the death. At this moment, Tang Zheng adjusted and modified this sentence. Suddenly the meaning is different. At this moment, Andre is a little wrong.
At this time, King Karl, who was attending the banquet, also walked up at this time and said with a smile: "Don, you are really great. You showed us that you are a patriotic person. You are right. At the Nobel Prize celebration dinner, it was never said that no other language could be used. It's just that most of the previous Nobel laureates are descendants of Latin and Hebrew. There is no problem with the fluency of English, as a tribute to Mr. Nobel. So, everybody speaks in English. In time. It became a routine. But now, starting with the Don, let us know. This is not a rule. ”
I have to say that he is indeed a king-level figure. On the wrist, in communication is incomparably sophisticated. As soon as he said this, he immediately downplayed Andre's matter, and at the same time gave Tang Zheng a round game.
Andre was a little embarrassed at the moment, and was about to withdraw, but at this time, Tang Zheng said again: "Mr. Andrea, next, the speech I make will be in Chinese, if Your Excellency does not understand." It is best to find a translator to help you interpret simultaneously, of course, you can also choose to refuse, this is your right. ”
These words immediately made Andre's face sink. Tang Zheng, this guy, is really too hateful, too hateful. I didn't speak anymore, and I was still chasing after him. Since I was a child, I have never been so provocative.
Next, Tang Zheng raised his head and said, "Just now, there were some small episodes, but I believe that this will not affect the success of the dinner." As everyone knows. Flies are always in the kitchen. At any given time, there will be no shortage of people who are not happy. We all have to learn to face it, or buy a fly swatter and swatt that nasty fly to death. ”
Tang Zheng's words made many people laugh, this young Nobel laureate gave people an unprecedented feeling of humor. Generous, and more importantly, persistent.
Elder Shen bowed his head slightly, including Qin Tian and the others who were protecting them with him, and they were also a little proud. When will the Chinese be like Tang Zheng? The pride and pride of the Chinese people have come up, but it is not enough, the Chinese people are persistent, and those who grovel are indispensable. If they are all the same as Tang Zheng, why don't you worry about this country not being strong and prosperous.
Tang Zheng is also extremely annoyed, and above, Tang Zheng has some contradictions, which is true, but Tang Zheng still loves this country deeply. Just now, this kid knocked over all the Chinese with a stick. This undoubtedly angered Tang Zheng's bottom line. Chase after the blow, this is also quite normal.
Andre listened to Tang Zheng's ridicule at the moment, although he didn't understand, he could also feel that it was aimed at himself. His face sank, and he snorted coldly but walked out.
Seeing this person like this, Tang Zheng didn't care, isn't he the prince of a small country? Yoro is arrogant. Is there an area the size of a county in the country? If this is placed in China, it is the goods of the son of a county party secretary. And so pretended.
Smiling, Tang Zheng continued: "Continuing the topic just now, I think that even if there is this regulation, there is nothing. Rules are for people to break, and records are for people to surpass. As a scientist, if you don't even have the courage to question, if you don't even have the courage to break the rules, then you won't achieve anything at all. ”
"I think, Mr. Nobel, if it weren't for that earth-shattering explosion, he wouldn't have invented yellow explosives. If Monsieur Galileo had not been a firm supporter of heliocentrism, I don't think he would have been persecuted by the Inquisition for 22 years. In the back of my mind, I will always recall the words of him when he was dying: 'The pursuit of science always requires special courage,' isn't it? Now, what I am doing, what I am doing, is following in the footsteps of my predecessors, and only in this way can science be more advanced. Make humanity more progressive. ”
Tang Zheng's voice fell, and immediately won the applause of everyone present, at this moment, Tang Zheng's use of Chinese is no longer any problem. Tang Zheng's wonderful speeches, especially Mr. Nobel and Galileo, are examples. It also won the approval of all the scientists present. If you don't even have the courage to question scientific research, then what qualifications do you have to do science?
Here, Yang Jiren Yang Lao also smiled and said: "Xiao Tang, this kid, this mouth is getting more and more powerful." This can be rounded by him. However, my old man really admires him. On this occasion, it can be so atmospheric. This kid is born extraordinary. ”
"Do you understand that a mediocre person can make such contributions and achievements at his age?" Guan Shuisheng, Guan Lao said with disdain.
Next, Tang Zheng didn't talk too much about medicine, after all, the atmosphere of the dinner was relaxed. The theme is celebration. If it was at the Carolinska Institutet, Tang Zheng wouldn't mind talking about Chinese medicine. But now? It's more of a testimonial nature.
After all that is said. In the midst of the warm applause of the crowd. Tang Zheng also walked down. This way. Guan Lao, Shen Lao and others all greeted him.
Although Shen Tao is almost thirty years old. But he admired Tang Zheng very much, and gave a thumbs up and said, "Master, you are too good." ”
At this time, everyone didn't speak, and looked behind Tang Zheng, and when Tang Zheng turned around, a Western beauty about twenty years old stood behind Tang Zheng prettyly. looked at Tang Zheng and smiled: "Mr. Tang, can I invite you to dance?" (To be continued.) )
