109. Andreas's conditions

As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, is not unreasonable, and now it is still on paper, and when it is really implemented, Jonas is optimistic that it may be much more convenient than agricultural reform, but it will not be smooth sailing, and all the joints need to be taken care of, and now, the most important thing for himself is the two щww{][lā} in front of him

One is "War and Peace", a world-famous book that makes Jonas dizzy, and the other is "Latin Dictionary of Words", which is similar to the Xinhua Dictionary, except that it is written in Latin instead of Chinese.

This was sent by Nader, and there was a letter attached to it, Jonas read it, and felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, as a priest, Mr. Nader must not be too radical, and what he translated should be more likely to be neutral and peaceful, rather than fierce and high-spirited, so when he once again focused on this million-word novel Abbreviated by Toon, Jonas's gaze was much calmer than before.

Open the book and turn to the first chapter, the unfamiliarity of the language makes it difficult for Jonas to read fluently, and Nader does not let others read the novel because of the wild words, Jonas can only read it secretly, no way, since Nader has said that he will not let others watch the book, as a student, Jonas still has to listen to the teacher's education.

Half an hour passed in the process of reading a book while flipping through the dictionary, well, I read two breaks.

"Huh, Mr. Nader, can't you use some words that are known to the general public, why are they all high-level words~"

Jonas knows that a book can only be regarded as an understanding of a book if he truly understands the spirit contained in the words, and Jonas is also eager to use such a mentality to have a divine relationship with the author of the book, so as to achieve the same level of understanding of the book as the author, and listen to another reader's understanding of the world.

However!! you asked me to use the text level of primary school students to read the text at the level of college students, just like you ask ordinary primary school students about the words Shuimu Mingse, poetry without attainment, and Gantang bereavement, it is estimated that they will tell you the difference between colorful, colorful, colorful, and varied.

After reading a few paragraphs, Jonas can only translate the meaning of this passage almost mechanically, just like Chinese reading modern poetry, always feel that there is no charm as ancient Chinese poetry, in fact, this is because the original meaning of the original text after translation has been adapted by the translator, completely losing its taste, and if it is a deep foundation, then the translated foreign poetry will actually sound very good.

For example, the opening text of "The Tale of the Heike Family", which Jonas himself loved very much, if it is directly translated, is the bell of Gion Seisha, which plays the sound of impermanence, and the color of the twin trees of Sara seems to tell the signs of prosperity and decline. After all, the proud winner will not last long, just like a dream of a moment, ethereal, and the brave and enterprising will also pass away with the wind, just like the dust in the wind, drifting away, not knowing the past.

This translation is actually very good, but the breath of ancient culture in the article has been replaced by modern language, which makes the original intention of the original author a little preempted by the translator, so Jonas does not like this version, but prefers another paragraph translated in a seven-word quatrain:

The bell rings in the Gion House, telling that things in the world are impermanent, that the flowers of the two trees are discolored, and that the winner is declining like vicissitudes; that arrogance and lust do not last long, just like a dream on a spring night; and that the domineering and domineering are finally destroyed, like a poplar in the dust.

In his opinion, the second way to translate the same ancient Japanese masterpieces in the seven words of ancient China is obviously much more comfortable than using the way of modern poetry, and this is the problem that Jonas is encountering now, his level allows him to only understand the current book to the first level, and cannot turn the content into something that he can understand better.

After reading two paragraphs, Jonas had a bit of a headache, he now regretted his behavior of writing to ask Nader, and now not only did he not have to read it, but he also had to write his feelings after reading, and he had to use Latin, my God, Jonas roared in his heart, he really made a stupid decision.

After a while, Jonas focused his attention on these two books again, who told him to be too talkative, now it's okay, the huge curiosity has become a huge burden, how can he write anything in Latin, it's good to be able to write in the Italian bun language, and Latin, it's really enough.

Unexpectedly, Jonas's spirit was barely focused on the books just now, and the door of the office was pushed open without warning, so that Jonas automatically shifted his gaze from the books to the wooden door of the office, and naturally reacted and said, "Who", feeling a little unhappy, which impolite guy came in without knocking, why is he so uneducated.

When the door opened, Jonas didn't dare to say what was in his heart, it was Andreas, well, a very well-bred child.

"It's me. Andreas is a small radish head, the net height is only about one meter, if it weren't for Jonas sitting on the office chair, he couldn't see this little guy through the desk, but he was still very imposing, he looked like he was in this office, and as soon as he came in and said two words, he walked towards Jonas's desk with his hands behind his back.

"What are you doing here, the class is over?And how did you open the door?" Jonas didn't feel anything wrong, on the contrary, he was very happy about Andreas's arrival, learning is a very boring thing, especially when a person learns it is a boring thing that is more boring than talking to himself, at this time someone came to talk to him, Jonas is still very talkative.

Of course, it would be better if it were Leo.

"Did you know our class schedule for the first day, Brother Jonas? Of course it's still in class, as for how I got in, although my body is not as good as Leo's brother, but at least I'm still a child of a noble family, and I can still reach my fingers for the long jump. Andreas's answer made Jonas a little stunned, this skipping class is still so justified?

"Then why are you still in class and come to me, I can tell you, although my mother and father are not here, but I am still here, do you know, eldest brother is a father, you have to listen to me when I am here, hurry back to class, don't let the teacher wait for a long time, do you know how much it costs to hire a teacher?" Jonas said the last sentence, and there was obviously some pain on his face.

There are not many literate people in these years, and even fewer can master multiple languages, and the people who can teach Anna and Andreas can be said to be scarce, and such a scarce person is willing to come and teach here, and the money it costs Jonas only thinks of that money, he feels that no matter what age it is, teaching is always a good career.

It was precisely because Jonas focused on skipping class that he ignored Andreas's answer about how to open the door.

"First, I have finished all the homework assigned by the teacher, and I am bored to continue to stay in the classroom, second, what is the eldest brother like a father, my freedom belongs to me, I am not under the age of eighteen, there is nothing wrong with me, but you are not and have not reached the age of eighteen, what right do you have to control me, third, I have something to discuss with you, not to play with you. ”

Andreas walked to Jonas's side as he spoke, and kicked the mechanism that could be raised and lowered under the office chair where Jonas was sitting, so that Jonas lowered his whole body from a high place, and at the end of the day, Jonas's eyes were already in a parallel position to Andreas's eyes.

"Okay, I can't talk about you, I'm convinced that you quarrel better than me. Say, what's the matter with me, I still have to work, I don't have time to talk to you little pudding. Jonas was very angry, he didn't understand very much, where did a 4-year-old kid come from such rigorous thinking and such a particular language talent?

Andreas didn't answer Jonas, but stared at his brother with a little interesting look for a while, then smiled evilly, put his hand directly on the desk, and pulled it hard, and the brown book on Jonas's desk was pulled into Andreas's arms.

"How is it, do you know how I opened the door?" Andreas got the book, quickly took a few steps back, and put the book in his hand to prevent Jonas from snatching the book in his hand, and after seeing that Jonas did not mean to rob him, he let go of the book in his arms, and before he opened it, he was amazed.

"Wow, it's rare to see a book made of kraft paper so beautiful. While saying and stroking, Jonas looked at it, but a thought came to his heart, this guy doesn't seem to be the first time to touch a book made of vellum, is there still a lot of it at home?

The reason why Jonas didn't grab it was because he really wanted to tear the book up when Andreas grabbed it, so that he could stop it and don't have to study the book, but obviously Andreas is a person who has a full love for books and knowledge, just like now, Jonas saw the red mark left by Andreas because he accidentally buckled his wrist on the desk when he just jumped, and Andreas didn't seem to be aware of it, so he knew how much he liked books.

"Brother Jonas, "War and Peace", this name is really special, hey, this is still translated by Mr. Nader. ”

Jonas looked at Andreas as if he had found a treasure, and a thought suddenly occurred in his heart.

"Andreas, how about this book for you?" Jonas turned his chair half a circle, turned his face to Andreas, and did not rush over to Andreas, who was already on guard, but said to Andreas with a serious face.

Jonas's idea is very simple, he really doesn't have any feelings about these works, let alone written in other languages, he doesn't feel it anymore, it's better to give the book to his brother and let him read it, so as not to waste a piece of Nader's hard work, although in his heart Mr. Nader said that there are often wild words in it, but Jonas's understanding of crazy words is just some swearing, and Andreas himself will be enough to produce this "An-style scolding method, so that you can show your swearing style in 4 languages".

So after thinking about it for a while, Jonas decided to give the book to Andreas.

"Send me, aren't you unwilling?"

Andreas had some doubts, Jonas was still vigilant the last time he asked for it, and he swore not to give it, why did he give it to himself before he made a gesture of resistance? Isn't this book the one?

Andreas hurriedly opened the book, and when he saw that there were words inside, he was sure that it was not a fake, but the doubts in his heart were even heavier.

"At that time, I was reluctant because I was afraid that there would be something bad in this book, and I would teach you badly, and you see that you are still so young, what should you do if you go astray when the time comes? Now a letter from Mr. Nader has been sent, saying that it is just some interesting little stories, so of course I can give you this book, but I can't read it anyway. Jonas's answer was exactly what he was thinking, so it was natural to say it, and Andreas felt that what Jonas said was true, and his face seemed to be relieved.

"You have to promise me one condition, though. Jonas looked at Andreas's hands no longer holding the book so tightly, smiled, and said narrowly to Andreas.

"What conditions?" Andreas didn't get nervous again because of Jonas's surprise attack, he still knew his brother quite well, and what he said was still credible.

"Every time you read a chapter, you have to write a review for me, in Latin, on this condition, how about it? Andreas, you know, this is a translation by Mr. Nader, and he gave me an assignment, and if I don't finish it, you know what he will do to me. ”

Jonas wanted Andreas to translate the book to himself, but after thinking about it, he was too busy, and he really didn't have much time to study for appreciation, so he should let Andreas help him do his homework, so that Andreas could get the book and enjoy the world of his book, and he could continue to be busy looking at his goals in this real world, which would be beneficial to both parties

Andreas thought about it, nodded in agreement, looked at the book in his arms, and felt a little excited, he didn't want to stay here to talk to Jonas anymore, he wanted to go back to his room as soon as possible, to enter another world, a utopia that he had been thinking about for a long time.
