The age of rebirth: I became a farmer's little koi

After chatting about Liu Xinjian's postgraduate entrance examination, the atmosphere eased.

Seeing that it was still early, Liu Xinyu simply dragged Liu Xinjian into the translation team.

With the addition of Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinjian, two engineering students, the speed and accuracy of translation have been greatly improved.

Liu Xinyu only brought the folder with the fewest pages today. When Liu Xinjian came back, she and Zhang Hongliang translated English and German. They had already translated the first five pages of the opening chapter, and they were checking the original text.

Two pages have been checked and just handed over to Liu Xinjian for transcription.

Liu Xinyu assigned a task to Liu Xinjian, so he continued to check with Zhang Hongliang, and when the two checked to the fifth page, a problem appeared.

"There is a problem here. According to the German wording, the translation should be compensation, not compensation. However, although this English also has the meaning of compensation, because the word 'for' is missing, it is more inclined to compensation." Through German and English In contrast, Liu Xinyu pointed out the problem precisely.

Zhang Hongliang once went to the United States as an exchange student for a year. His English level is not bad, but there is a big gap compared with Liu Xinyu, especially when encountering such sentences that need to be accurately grasped, the difference between him and Liu Xinyu The gap is more obvious.

However, after Liu Xinyu reminded him, Zhang Hongliang instantly understood that this was probably a trap set by the German side for the Chinese side.

If it was just an English translator, instead of a translator like Liu Xinyu who is proficient in both German and English, I'm afraid that the German side might be directly brought into a language trap and cause losses.

There is a difference between compensation and compensation. In such a billion-dollar transaction, the losses caused are likely to be in the tens of millions.

Zhang Hongliang's back could not help but break out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, Liu Xinyu not only understands German, but also devotes herself to her work. Even for this kind of bilingual documents and materials in German and English, she did not covet convenience and ease, and insisted on bilingual translation.

If Liu Xinyu really only translated the English version as he suggested at the beginning, he would have stepped into a trap.

With this discovery, Liu Xinyu devoted herself more attentively and insisted on translating with German as the main language and English as the supplement. It really made her find another similar trap in the approved translation.

The next day Liu Xinyu came to the minister's office with the translated documents.

The problems discovered during the translation last night made her clearly realize that in order to translate these documents and materials well, she must understand the project. Only by understanding the basic situation of the project can she better avoid the pitfalls hidden in the documents and materials.

When the minister asked about the situation, he was of course very surprised. The Germans have always been famous for their rigorousness, so such a problem should not happen.

But since Liu Xinyu discovered the problem, he should pay attention to it.

Of course, you can't just listen to Liu Xinyu's words and make a conclusion for the German side. You have to discuss with all parties to proceed with the follow-up processing, so Liu Xinyu was asked to go back to the translation room to continue working.

After careful consideration, the minister invited senior translators in German and English who had worked with him before, and asked them to translate separately.

The result of the translation, of course, is as Liu Xinyu proposed, there are indeed pitfalls. If Liu Xinyu is not careful and insists on bilingual translation, these problems may make the Chinese side passive during the negotiation, and may even cause heavy losses.

Since there is indeed a problem, Liu Xinyu's request must of course be met.

In the afternoon, the person in charge of the project came to the translation room. He not only patiently introduced several key points of the project to Liu Xinyu, but also brought relevant materials according to Liu Xinyu's request.

Although it took a lot of time to listen to the project introduction and read the project approval materials, but sharpening the knife and cutting firewood by mistake, understanding the basic situation of the project can more effectively avoid text traps, which will be of great benefit to the next translation work.

The whole afternoon was almost spent on understanding the basic situation of the project, so the scheduled translation tasks were not completed before leaving get off work.

Because I took it home last night to work overtime, the amount of translations scheduled to be completed today is not much, and I made an appointment to go to a restaurant today, so Liu Xinyu did not intend to bring the work home, so Yang Shuyun came to work in the translation agency The overtime mode was turned on on the first day.

However, the overtime hours today are not long, and the scheduled work was completed as soon as 06:30.

"Okay, let's pack up and get off work. By the way, is your partner coming to pick you up today?" Liu Xinyu checked the translation manuscript copied by Yang Shuyun and made sure there were no mistakes. She put the translation manuscript in the cabinet and asked casually. .

Yang Shuyun grinned and said, "Okay, come pick me up after get off work. It should be here by now. Is your partner coming to pick me up?"

Liu Xinyu nodded: "It's agreed to drive to pick me up. If your partner doesn't come to pick you up, I plan to take you home. Since your partner is here, I won't bother you."

Yang Shuyun said angrily: "Oh, if I knew I could ride the windmill, I wouldn't let him pick it up!"

Liu Xinyu knew that Yang Shuyun's annoyance was fake, it was just a joke.

When the two came out of the compound, Yang Shuyun's partner was already leaning on his bicycle and waiting outside the compound, and the old jeep was already parked by the side of the road outside the compound.

Seeing Liu Xinyu coming out, Zhang Hongliang lightly honked the horn, got out of the car, went around to the passenger seat and opened the door for Liu Xinyu.

"I thought I would have to wait for you to come out, but I didn't expect you to come so early." After getting into the car, Liu Xinyu waved to Yang Shuyun and her partner, telling them to go home quickly, and said to Zhang Hongliang.

Zhang Hongliang started the car and slid towards the middle of the road, and replied with a smile: "You made an appointment yesterday to translate not much today. I thought you would get off work on time, so I will be there at six o'clock."

Liu Xinyu explained the reason for leaving get off work late, and Zhang Hongliang nodded in understanding.

No matter what the job is, Liu Xinyu has always been serious and rigorous.

For a project with such a large investment, the accuracy of the translation is particularly important. Liu Xinyu definitely pays more attention to it than ever before. Let alone making him wait for half an hour, even a longer wait is justified.

"Xinyu is here, get hungry, sit here quickly, and I'll let your grandfather serve you food." As soon as Liu Xinyu entered the restaurant, Chen Zhaodi pointed to the only vacant table beside the counter and asked Liu Xinyu to sit down. Then he shouted to the kitchen: "Old man, serve the dishes quickly. Xin Yu is here!"

Unable to sit still, Liu Xinyu handed the bag on her back to Chen Zhaodi and went into the kitchen.

The business of the restaurant was good, needless to say that the empty table was specially reserved for Liu Xinyu, in order for Liu Xinyu to have a bite of hot food when he came, even the dishes were prepared in advance.

No, as soon as Liu Xinyu entered the kitchen, she saw two dishes of prepared dishes on the tray in front of Liu Houxing, one of which was exactly the new dish that Liu Xinjian had mentioned yesterday.
