Chapter 158: Stepping on Hot Wheels and Holding a Golden Hoop Stick
“…… Well, okay, I'll think about it. ”
“…… Well, Editor-in-Chief Tao is polite. ”
and the editor-in-chief Tao of the Modu Publishing House also ended the call.
Ji Zhuo was already slumped on the bed,
He was already thinking about whether he wanted to hire an assistant.
I'm going to take care of this for myself.
Well, the pen and ink seem to be good.
It's very skillful to deal with this kind of thing,
It's a pity, the pen and ink are mixed with the editor-in-chief, can you be an assistant?
Never mind...... Let's put this on hold for the time being, it's not that far.
But...... This time, "Night Tour of the Capital City" was released in Feimo,
You can still let the non-ink help you, although the copyright is completely in Ji Zhuo's own hands.
"Ding-dong."
At this time,
The phone rang again.
Ji Zhuo took a look,
After all, it's not about "Night Tour of the Capital City".
It was a message from Lou, the editor-in-chief of Delvin Publishing.
"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji, the first English draft of "Caged Bird" has been translated, would you like to read it?"
That's it?
It seems like it's only been two or three weeks, right?
Got a month?
However, the length of "Caged Bird" is only about 300,000 words in this province.
It doesn't seem to be too fast.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: finished translating? Okay, I'll see.
Editor-in-Chief Lou: It's just the first draft, and it will be refined and typeset later. ”
Editor-in-chief Lou replied with another message,
I just sent an encrypted document over,
Download it and unzip it.
Ji Zhuo saw the English translation of "Caged Bird".
On this first draft,
Ji Zhuo felt that Editor-in-Chief Lou was really modest,
From the overall typography, it feels very comfortable.
At least not a large chunk of lumps together,
Let's look at the translation of some sentences.
At first glance, Ji Zhuo felt that it was still okay.
But take a closer look......
"Hmmm......"
Ji Zhuo paused, he felt that he was a little floating.
It's been a few years since he graduated, and he hasn't used English since college.
He even thought that this translation was almost meaningful?
It's not that it's bad,
It is...... He felt that he could write better on himself.
As soon as this thought came to my head,
Then Ji Zhuo himself was shocked.
Damn, what do I think again......
But he pondered it again...... I did find that I could find more appropriate translations of words and sentences.
Now,
Ji Zhuo was silent?
It's not their own growth in writing attributes,
Not only useful for the mother tongue, but also for the foreign language?
Sounds reasonable......
"Clumsy and extraordinary: I took a look...... It's still possible.
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji is not very satisfied with this translation?
Clumsy and extraordinary: No, it's just a little bit of my own thoughts, not necessarily right.
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji is the original author, and he must have a deeper understanding of the original meaning of the translation.
Clumsy and extraordinary: That's fine......"
thereupon
Ji Zhuo, who felt a little panicked, briefly said a few questions.
"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Okay, our publishing house will communicate with the translation team to try our best to present your works as perfectly as possible.
Clumsy and extraordinary: It's just a personal opinion, and it's not necessarily right. Editor-in-chief Lou was polite. ”
Ji Zhuo himself was not too sure about this.
Maybe it's just a delusion of your own?
After all, didn't you say that the greater you are, the smaller you are.
The more I know, the more I feel like I'm cooking, and the more I feel like I'm doing it, maybe it's a real thing.
"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji is polite...... By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate Mr. Ji on the popularity of his new book...... Mr. Ji: Do you have any ideas for publishing this new book?
Clumsy and Extraordinary: ...... Why, the Delvin Press is still going to publish myths?
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Cultural export, although I work at Delvin Press, I am also Chinese. ”
I also mentioned that,
Editor-in-chief Lou didn't pursue the publication of this book too much.
After all, having said that, if this myth is published overseas at the moment, it may still be difficult to get results.
After chatting with this editor-in-chief Lou,
Ji Zhuo lay down on the bed again,
I just feel a little tired,
paralyzed for a while,
Only then did he touch his phone again,
Open the game to start pit teammates.
But I'm playing,
Editor-in-Chief Lou sent another message.
"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji, your comments have been fed back to the translation team...... Well, Mr. Ji, do you know Europa other languages? Why don't you try it too?
Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......
Clumsy and extraordinary: I really can't. ”
……
“…… It is said that the stone man Shi Sheng stepped on the Hot Wheels, held a golden hoop stick in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked the black cat monster to the ground. ”
"The black cat monster begged for mercy again and again, persuaded and convinced."
"In this way, the stone man subdued the black cat monster again, and the black cat monster also worshiped the stone man, and the stone man gave the black cat monster a legal name called the big cat."
Sunrise and sunset is another day, Ji Zhuo is busy with the code word update,
I came to the Guangming Welfare Institute again, and looked at this group of hairy children,
Tell this group of children the story that they haven't told before,
This group of children looked forward to looking at Ji Zhuo, and Ji Zhuo was full of accomplishment in the face of such a gaze.
After pouring saliva again, Ji Zhuo put an end to today's story,
"In this way, the stone man took his disciples again and began to tour the countries and states to spread the Taoism left behind by his master."
"There is a poem that says that the stone man is proud, stepping on the hot wheels, holding a golden hoop stick in his hand, worshiping the master to learn spells, and showing magical powers with three heads and six arms. The master ascended to the immortals, Shi Sheng preached the system, subdued all the demons, and no one refused.
I know what will happen next, and I will listen to the next decomposition. ”
"Alright, that's all for today's story."
Ji Zhuo said to the group of children with a smile.
Although the group of children listened with great satisfaction, they did not pestering them to continue.
Having suffered a lot since childhood, this group of children is more sensitive and sensible than their peers.
“…… Now that the story is over, can you tell me what you want to do when you grow up? ”
"Xu Zihao, you come first."
“…… I...... I wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid. ”
Listening to the child say that he was quite funny when he was a child.
"But Aunt Ai said that I can't be a doctor, so I want to train guide dogs in the future."
"Well, that's not bad either."
Ji Zhuo touched the child's hair and said loudly.
"Who's next?"
"I want to be a teacher...... I want to be a rich man and build the whole welfare home big. ”
"Well, with ambition, I support you!"
Ji Zhuo was just under the tree in the courtyard of the welfare home, talking casually with this group of children,
I didn't deliberately control the direction of the chat, and the child said whatever he said.
And so it went on until nightfall,
"Xiao Ji, why don't you eat in the welfare home at night?"
"No, not today, I'll make an appointment with someone to have dinner in the evening."
"Girlfriend? Then I won't stop you. ”
"Alright. Go to dinner, hairy boys, and I'll come back another day to tell you the rest of the story. ”
"Brother Ji, can you tell ghost stories next time, I want to hear ghost stories."
"Okay, next time I'll tell you about Zhang Cheng's night tour of the capital city."
A few more words with this group of children,
Ji Zhuo left.
He had made an appointment to have dinner with Yun Qingmu in the evening,
This will have to pass.
But just out of the welfare home,
Received another message from the editor pen and ink.
"Pen and ink: Big guy? At? Is this book coming to shelves next week?
Bimo: Your plot progress always makes me feel like I'm almost done. ”
"Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......
Clumsy and extraordinary: It's about the same, and the book will be completed within a month of being put on the shelves.
Ink:......
Pen and ink: Okay, then next week?
Clumsy and extraordinary: OK.
Bimo: Well, I'll try to give you more recommendations next week. By the way, communicate with the first reading, and I will also arrange some channel recommendations for you.
Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......
Clumsy and extraordinary: OK. ”
