264 The Governor's Request
Before Hua Wan's words fell, a voice came: "Today I will read you the latest serialized in Ming Pao, "Gillian and Ah Qiang"! ”
"Ah Keung carries an old blue cloth bag all the year round, shuttles through the alleys of Kowloon City, collects some rags from the previous dynasty, and sells them again-"
The two beauties looked up at the same time, but saw a young young student, standing on a stacked empty crate, holding a newspaper in his hand, reading aloud.
His voice was loud, and it was heard at a distance of dozens of meters, and many pedestrians were attracted by his voice and gradually surrounded him.
As the number of onlookers increased, he gradually danced with his hands, imitating the movements of the characters, and bowed slightly: "Button rice? ”
The Governor's wife was originally just staring curiously at these people who were gathered around, but when she suddenly heard a familiar and somewhat strange sentence, her curiosity suddenly increased, and she couldn't help but ask, "Wan, what is he doing?" ”
Hua Wan was already attracted by the content of the story, and she reacted when she heard the words, until the governor's wife asked again, and she explained: "It seems to be a love-"
"Love?!"
The governor's wife immediately became interested, and said in a daze, "What are you talking about?" Tell me about it! ”
Hua Wan had already heard the appearance of the beauty teacherHe, and Ah Qiang didn't want a restaurant or a supermarket, so she couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
With a smile, she briefly told the story she had just heard in English, and the Governor's wife's eyes lit up: "Learn English? Isn't that the same as learning Chinese for me? ”
Hua Wan's attention had been put on the young man reading the newspaper again, listening to him dance and talk again, hearing the sentence that the dog was hungry, she was stunned, and soon laughed again-
The Governor's wife has been with her for the past two days, and she has already understood the personality of this new girlfriend - gentle and demure, even smiling, all of which are faint and shallow, like the Chinese ink landscape paintings she has seen, using a brush, lightly painted with some ink.
Now I laugh brightly and vividly, like an oil painting whose ink has not yet dried, and the colors are brilliant to the extreme.
This also made the Governor's wife's heart, as if she had been scratched by a kitten, tickled, and she couldn't help but ask again: "What did he say again?" Makes you so happy? ”
Hua Wan's smile couldn't fade from her pretty face, and she chuckled: "The student in the story wants the English teacher to teach him a word, and you are not a pretty girl, why should I wait for you?" As a result, the sentence was too long for him to remember. ”
"The English teacher thought about it and taught him a go away!"
The governor's wife was stunned, and then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, it's okay like this!" ”
At this time, she became infinitely interested in this story, "Wan, why don't we use this as a teaching material!" ”
Hua Wan happily agreed: "Okay! ”
And the young man standing on the box, at the request of the audience, has already begun to read it a second time.
This time, Hua Wan listened to a sentence and translated it into English for the governor's wife, and when the young man finished reading, the governor's wife looked yearning: "I really want to know what happened to the story!" ”
Hua Wan also nodded again and again.
Because it was open-air, many viewers left, and new ones joined, and young people read this book over and over again.
At the beginning of the third time, from time to time, some viewers asked him to pause and ask him to speak English again, and many people began to read along.
Sounding a somewhat strange speech, the governor's wife frowned slightly: "This pronunciation is too non-standard!" ”
Hua Wan: "......"
She really wants to kindly tell the British beauties around her that you say that the tone of Chinese is also very strange!
The two of them broke up, and after making an appointment to officially start learning this serial tomorrow, they each got into a car.
When it was time to eat in the evening, the Governor's wife told the table about this serialization as an interesting discovery of the day.
The Governor was cutting the steak's hand for a meal: "What did you say?" Many citizens read along? ”
The Governor's wife smiled: "Yes, you don't know how spectacular that picture is, men, women and children, all read it together." ”
The governor put down his knife and fork sharply and got up: "You eat first, I have some work to do." ”
With that, he hurried upstairs, and in his office, all the newspapers of the day would be sent to the desk by the assistant, and the assistant also thoughtfully circled the news editorials worth reading with a red pen.
And on today's Ming Pao, the only one that has been circled is Gillian and Ah Qiang!
The Governor only looked at it twice, and was sure that it was the story he was looking for.
There is not much content in the serial, and Governor Robert Paul read it quickly, and the whole vernacular, for most of the residents of Hong Kong City who do not know English, English may be a stumbling block, but for Governor Robert Bergie, it is extremely simple.
Governor Bergy quickly characterized this article: lighthearted, lively, funny, and most importantly, it was about evening school!
And the promotion of night school is the top priority of his work at this time!
Unexpectedly, as soon as I fell asleep, someone brought a pillow.
He immediately picked up the phone and called his assistant directly: "This serial article in Ming Pao is very good, you can say hello to the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, praise him, and ask him if he can move this article to a more eye-catching layout." ”
The assistant answered, hung up the phone, and immediately found the phone number of the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao Cha and dialed it.
……
Editor-in-Chief Cha is working with several editors to finalize the layout of the newspaper that will be published tomorrow.
He looked up at the first review editor: "What was the response from readers?" ”
The editor of the first review frowned, "Some readers have responded in letters that Gillian and Qiang have too much English in Chinese and can't understand them at all, and it is recommended that this serialization be stopped." ”
Editor-in-Chief Cha's brows furrowed deeply, and sure enough, as he had expected, once there is a barrier to text reading, people's reading sense will become very bad.
He sighed softly, looked at the blank paper in front of him, picked up the chess piece with the title of the book, and was about to move it from the position of the sub-headline to the corner, when the phone rang.
The editor of the preliminary review picked up the phone, and after a brief chat, his face became very strange: "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Governor, this article is very good, and I ask you if you can rank it in a more prominent position." ”
When the editor-in-chief of the investigation was published, he ate Coptis chinensis: This sacrifice is all the sales of the newspaper!
The popularity he has accumulated with the Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Condor Heroes may be lost!
However, if you change to the various scoops of Mr. Governor-
After only hesitating for a moment, the chess piece in the hand of the editor-in-chief of Zha fell heavily on the headline of the supplement, and in the original position of the headline, there was another chess piece, which was impressively pasted on it-
Condor Heroes!
