The vacation that Professor Voss asked the school for is over,

At the same time, in order to make up for some of the previous class hours, he seemed busier in the past two days.

Fortunately, the translation of "The Ordinary and the Great" has been completed, and he can take on other literary translation work, which can also be delayed.

So in his spare time, he still has time to watch the first day of release of "Ordinary and Great".

"The Ordinary and the Great" is the best work he has seen recently,

In particular, under the pressure of the perfection of the original book, he also made what he felt was the last literary translation ever.

He had already envisioned that the Russian translation, Vos, would go down in history with this great work.

Perhaps in the future, his future epitaph will write that he once made the first translation of the White Flag Chinese and Russian versions for "Ordinary and Great".

It would be better to add, 'This is recognized, the best version of the translation'.

Therefore, Professor Voss is particularly concerned about the sales of this work he has translated.

Of course, just as a reader, he also likes that this work can be seen by more readers.

Now

It's already noon in the White Flag Country, and it's time to eat at noon,

Professor Voss looked at the laptop in front of him, looking through the messages on the Internet,

It's just a pity that the Internet is flooded with ABC and dog author news, which seriously squeezes the space for the existence of news related to "Ordinary and Great".

Professor Voss searches directly for relevant messages and comments,

But I basically didn't see a few post-reading comments about readers of "Ordinary and Great",

The comments remain the same.

"I'll see again in the afternoon."

Knowing that it takes time for readers to read this book, I also know that it takes time for word-of-mouth to ferment.

Professor Voss flipped through several pages of relevant news in a row, and finally sank down,

I haven't watched it yet.

Then my mind turned in another direction.

"I wonder if she's reading this book at this time?"

Thinking of the fact that he forgot to sleep and eat before, he was a little crazy and spread on the translation of this book,

His wife was so curious about the book that Voss couldn't help but smile,

Then he sent a message to his wife.

"How do you feel, are you disappointed?"

……

House of Voss.

His wife is also an associate professor at the school.

It's just a lot more idle than him.

After the morning class, my wife went back to her residence.

Received a package from El Press.

Voss's wife doesn't have to go out to buy "The Ordinary and the Great".

What Al Publishing House sent me was a sample book of "Ordinary and Great".

A full set of language versions is included.

Although Voss was proficient in literary translation, his wife did not know much about foreign languages.

So after opening the package, I first found the white flag Chinese version, sat on the sofa, opened it and read it.

At first, I was still a little curious and eager,

Waiting to see the content of the story itself, with the description of the author's brushstrokes,

The wife was quickly pulled into the world of the book, and the other emotions were forgotten for the time being,

is immersed in the story, and can't help but feel emotional ups and downs for the plot.

From the book,

The death of little Hoss's father, his wife couldn't help but be a little depressed and angry,

It's just that little Hoth's trouser leg was lifted, and when there was a drop of blood there, she couldn't help but be surprised,

Further down, it is the development of stories in ordinary chapters,

Let the wife follow the anger, followed the fear, followed the depression.

Even a few times I couldn't help but want to talk to poor little Hoss in the book.

When her husband sent a message,

The wife has already seen the plot in the ordinary chapter, where little Hoth farms at night and meets Valina.

Received a message from her husband,

The wife stopped reading for a moment,

I replied to a message first.

“…… You are the literary translator of the book, you have read the book carefully, you should not ask such questions. ”

"It's a good book, it's a great book, and I've come to believe that the praise in the previous hype about the book is just a statement of fact."

"You ask me if I'm disappointed in this book, is this a distrust of me, or a distrust of this work? If you ask, I might be skeptical about the quality of your translation. ”

Over there

Professor Voss couldn't help but smile when he saw his wife's reaction, and then replied to the message seriously,

"Of course, it's not that we don't distrust, but I just think that there may be some differences in our reading tastes."

"Maybe there's a difference, maybe I'm better than you and you understand this book."

Seeing his wife's words, Professor Voss's eyelids jumped,

Don't say it, he thinks that he is the one who best understands the deep meaning of this work.

I guess my wife understood the subtleties of the description when she read it.

Some readers are like this, and when they understand the subtleties of the work, they always feel that they are the ones who have the deepest understanding of the work.

No one can compare to themselves.

Professor Voss thought this, and a smile crossed his face.

But that's what his wife thinks the same way.

And neither of them apparently noticed that they were like that too.

“…… Maybe so, but the Chinese version of the White Flag you read is my literary translation. So I should know a little bit about this book, right? ”

“……”

"Maybe I should learn English, or something else."

Seeing the news of his wife's return, Professor Voss couldn't help but laugh again.

It's just that the news of his wife is not over yet,

Then another message came.

“…… My Professor Voss, though. You maybe, no, it's us, and maybe you should also contribute something to this excellent work. ”

"Doesn't your social media account also have a few thousand followers? Maybe I should recommend this work...... If he is just waiting for the word-of-mouth fermentation of this book, then when will he be able to reverse the word-of-mouth. ”

"We all have to work this book, at least, I really want to see this excellent book as many readers as possible. How can such an excellent work be seen by no one? ”

His wife's words made Professor Voss stunned for a moment,

Probably too much attention to "Ordinary and Great" itself,

He forgot that he could recommend this book to the people around him.

Maybe it won't make much of a difference, but at least something can be done.

"That's right. I'll do it now. ”

Professor Voss thought about it, and immediately opened the social platform.

Under his social media accounts with thousands of followers, he published a blog post.

He writes very seriously,

It took a lot of time to write a long paragraph of testimonials for this work.

"Recommend a work, "The Ordinary and the Great."

"It's an excellent work, and the excellence of this work starts with his name...... Then, the content of the introduction is echoed in the text......"

To keep spoilers to a minimum, Professor Voss sent this blog post out.

And then after a while, I got seven or eight responses.

"Ordinary and Great? Since it was recommended by Professor Voss, then be sure to read it. ”

"I seem to have a little impression, I don't know if my bookstore here sells it, I'll go and see."

Compared to the propaganda news, the comments on Professor Voss's personal account are much more friendly.

Most of the people who follow his social accounts are students he has taught before, as well as writers and publishers who have collaborated on works.

There are also some small fans of his translated works.

"Are these the only people......

"But it's not bad."

"One more is one!"

Professor Voss finished the recommendation blog post, and he was still not satisfied.

After thinking about it, I sent messages to the professors I knew one after another.

"Professor Carr, I recommend a book for you, I think you'll like it......"

A tap water, busy.
