Don't ask me who disco is [80] verse 95
Yuan Yuan's job is simple but the most trivial, she has to help print dozens of guests' name tags in case the names of the guests are mistaken.
The general office quickly handed over the itinerary to Disko.
There wasn't much on a page, just a few hundred words, and he could translate it in a few minutes.
However, the reason why the temporary reception task is difficult is the uncertainty of the itinerary and personnel.
Disco finished translating the first draft at 9 a.m. and was about to send it to the typing room to print the official draft, when the comrades from the General Office sent a new itinerary.
People said that the last one does not count, and this one shall prevail.
Disco put away the first draft and retranslated the second draft.
This time he had experience, and he didn't go to the typing room immediately after the work was done.
When he was about to leave work in the afternoon, he really waited for the third plan after the change.
The itinerary was revised and changed several times, and it was not officially determined until noon the next day.
Disco printed the official draft, signed his name at the bottom, took out the seal and ink, and solemnly stamped it on the side.
He had done similar work several times, but this was the first time he had been qualified to sign and stamp it.
And this seal was given to him by Yu Tong.
The seal material is known as one of the four seal stones, Shoushan stone, after being scavenged from the pagoda, it was sent to the glass factory by Yu Tong to carve.
Therefore, when Disco stamped the white seal stained with ink at the bottom of the final draft, it seemed to decide some national event.
That sense of ritual is comparable to the emperor holding a jade seal.
Send the final draft to the General Office, and his task can be officially completed.
However, the deadline is before the end of work today, and Disko, who has just left school, still remembers the teachers' request that "no early submission of papers" is required.
So, he didn't rush to send it up.
In the afternoon, when Yuan Yuan went to the hotel to deliver the nameplate, he also followed.
Anyway, he didn't have anything to do, so he followed the itinerary of the foreign guests.
However, after going through this again, he had new questions.
According to the arrangement on the itinerary, the foreign guests will go directly from the venue to the buffet at noon tomorrow.
The two places are not far away, and it can be reached by walking for about a quarter of an hour.
Therefore, the itinerary scheduled the buffet half an hour after the end of the meeting.
However, after walking through the field, Disco found that the meeting was on the third floor of the VIP Building, and the buffet was on the top floor of the Welcome Building.
There are only three passenger elevators in both buildings.
There were hundreds of guests at this meeting, and if someone was not used to taking the stairs and stubbornly waited for the elevator, the half-hour reserved time would not be enough.
Some foreign guests may be late.
Anyway, when he took the elevator to take this route, because it was the first time he came, he was not familiar with the path, and it took him thirty-five minutes to walk.
When he returned to the unit from the hotel, he wanted to remind Wu Yong at the reception of foreign guests.
Wu Yong was in charge of the itinerary, and he had sent him five versions of the itinerary before.
However, when they were almost at the door of someone's office, Disco paused again.
Although he didn't have much work experience, and he didn't have the kind of eye that Wen Shengxiao had since he was a child, he intuitively felt that this kind of thing should not be said by himself.
After staying in the translation room for so long, he often saw people cooperating with the business department to repeatedly revise the translation draft, but he never saw anyone find fault with other people's work.
What's more, I don't know the full picture, so what if someone arranges a car between the two buildings?
In that case, half an hour of preparation time is more than enough.
Team Leader Cui stayed in the conference room for a day and didn't come back, and he didn't have anyone to ask for advice at this time.
After weighing it repeatedly, he first sent the final draft to the leader for review and signature, and then sent the signed manuscript to Wu Yong.
"Angkor, I'll give you this final draft first, and if you need to make changes, you can come to me at any time."
Wu Yonggang put down the phone, he was very busy, and promised: "Let's put it here first, I still have to run to the hotel." ”
"You guys are really exercising enough, no wonder the comrades at the reception are very slim."
Wu Yong put on his coat and said with a wry smile: "No way, work hard." ”
"I went from the VIP building to the welcome building in the afternoon, and walked for more than half an hour to meet the sun before I found a place. If you toss like you every day, your legs will have to run thin. Disco smiled and asked, "Won't our unit give you a car?" ”
"It's matched," Wu Yong laughed at himself, "With a bicycle, you can go to the carport for free every day to cheer up." ”
Disco smiled with him a few more words and went back to the office for basic training.
He had been waiting for Wu Yong to deliver the sixth version of the itinerary, but when it was almost time to get off work, he didn't see him find it again.
It happened that Team Leader Cui would come back from the next meeting, so he leaned over and whispered to Team Leader Cui for advice on how to deal with this situation.
Most of the young people are trembling when they come to a new unit, and it is not easy to do their job well, and no one will meddle in their own affairs.
In particular, these graduates are the best of the best in each school, and many people would rather explore a little bit by themselves than take the initiative to expose their shortcomings.
Therefore, Team Leader Cui rarely has the opportunity to answer this kind of question.
"We are translators, and you will translate whatever they send." Team Leader Cui said slowly, "Diplomacy is no trivial matter, some decisions and arrangements may have other deep meanings, we don't understand the situation, don't help the business department modify the content at will." ”
"Uh-oh." Disko nodded his head.
"And most of the buffets are unaccompanied, and it doesn't hurt if they're a few minutes late." Team Leader Cui encouraged, "You did well today, listen and watch more, don't make impulsive decisions." However, you should wait a little longer after work, and if there are any changes at the reception, you can help them deal with them as soon as possible. ”
There are no stupid people who can do reception work, although Xiao Di expresses it vaguely, but people may not be able to understand it.
Sure enough, when he was still a quarter of an hour away from work, Wu Yong hurriedly delivered the sixth edition of the itinerary.
In two of the changes, the one mentioned by Disco, the reserved time has been changed from thirty minutes to forty-five minutes.
"Xiao Di, I have to trouble you!" Wu Yong patted him on the back.
Disco made an OK gesture and got to work.
After the revision is finalized, I have to go through the process again, the time is tight and the task is heavy, and there is no time to greet him.
He wants to change the itinerary, Yuan Yuan wants to change the list of attendees, and both of them have to stay and work overtime.
Only Fang Kun completed the translation of the menu in advance, and his menu was for today's dinner, so it is estimated that it will already be served at this time.
Therefore, Fang Kun can carry a backpack to get off work in style.
"Xiao Di, Xiao Yuan, come on! I'll go first! Fang Kun greeted with a smile.
Disco took the time to wave his hand and said, "It's rare to see you get off work on time, hurry up and go back to rest!" ”
"Haha, I can't rest for the time being," Fang Kun pointed to Pang Qingzu behind him and said, "I asked Teacher Pang to play table tennis and strengthen physical exercise, and it is estimated that I will have to fight three hundred rounds." ”
"Then you have to be careful, Mr. Pang's table tennis is the best in our translation room, be careful of being killed by him."
Disco secretly said that there are few men in the entire translation room, and only Pang Qingzu likes to play table tennis.
If you pull a big man out of the box, he can be a champion too.
Fang Kun followed Pang Qingzu away with a grin, and after Disco double-checked the manuscript for error, he sent it to the typing room for printing.
"Didn't you just print it at noon? Why are you here again? Unsurprisingly, the typist was left to work overtime again, and when he saw the new manuscript being delivered, his head was big.
"Sister Zhao, I can wait, you can take your time." Disco found a chair and sat down.
Although he said that he could wait, he stared straight at the keyboard.
If you don't expedite me, I won't leave.
Sister Zhao was furious by this big star, grabbed a pile of information at hand and said: "If you don't have anything to do, you can read the information for a while, haven't you already turned positive, you can read these materials casually." ”
Disco flipped through the pages and didn't see anything that appealed to him.
However, he did find the menu that Fang Kun had translated.
Although Fang Kun blatantly hugged Pang Qingzu's thigh, a little bit of that, his professional level still had nothing to pick.
If this menu were given to him, he might not be able to translate it to the same extent.
The names of Chinese dishes are sometimes realistic and sometimes freehand.
Like the "Manfu Six Little Fluttershy" and "Jinhua Yushu Class" in this menu, you can't guess what kind of dishes you eat just by listening to the name.
However, Fang Kun's translation is very straightforward, and he should have inquired with the chef in advance about the recipe of the dishes.
Although the English translation of the name lacks the charm of the Chinese name, according to the English name of the dish, it is easy to understand the ingredients and cooking methods of each dish.
This point is still worth learning from.
Disco stretched out his hand to block the translation name written by Fang Kun, and first translated the name of the dish in his heart, and then compared it with Fang Kun's translation.
When I came to the middle of the menu, there was a dish called braised dragon and phoenix wings.
He guessed that the phoenix wings were chicken wings, but he didn't know whose wings the dragon wings were.
As a result, when I opened Fang Kun's answer, I found that the dragon was shrimp, the phoenix was chicken, and the fin was shark fin.
He sighed in his heart that the Chinese name was broad and profound, and he was about to continue looking down, but his eyes paused at the first word of this dish.
Braised Shark's Fin Soup with Chicken and Prawns.
But Braised on this menu is written as Bruised.
With a word difference, "braised dragon and phoenix wings" becomes "injured chicken, shrimp and shark fin".
Disco: "......"
Fang Kun shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, right?
"Sister Zhao, is this menu finalized?"
Sister Zhao said without looking back: "That pile is the final draft." ”
It's good that no one notices this kind of menu that went wrong and brings it to the banquet table, but if someone sees it, the translation room will make a big joke.
However, there are so many foreign guests on the scene, it is impossible for people not to study the menu, right?
He took the menu and ran back to the English group's office, but except for Yuan Yuan and the two translators seconded from the provincial department of commerce, who were still working overtime, the others had already left work on time.
