Chapter 109: Is there any royalties for that?
Chapter 109: Is there any royalties for that?
Putting down the paper in his hand with a dark face, and looking at the two teachers who were grinning in amusement, Qingfeng Li opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
Now I really want to slap myself twice and ask why I majored in English. Now it’s okay. I jumped into the pit of computers and don’t even think about climbing out again.
There is a saying in later generations that English plus any major is the best, let alone this era when the country is about to open up and there are not many people who understand English in the country. The English talent displayed by Li Qingfeng, no matter which major he is in, will be outstanding. They won't let him run away.
Wang Fuzhi pulled Jiang Yiping, who was still there in a silly mood, and looked at Qingfeng Li with the same smiling expression on his face, but his tone of voice was more kind: "Qingfeng, why don't you continue reading?"
Hearing that even his last name and the words "classmate" behind him were omitted, Li Qingfeng knew that he really couldn't run away. He said with a sullen face: "I know a little bit, but I can't do the rest."
"Oh, that's it." Wang Fuzhi nodded pretending to be sorry, and then said: "In that case, you don't pass the exam. You should just stay in our computer department honestly from now on. Don't I’m thinking of moving to other majors.”
Qingfeng Li's mouth twitched, and he nodded with a dark face, saying nothing.
He smiled and took the piece of paper from Qingfeng Li's hand. After discovering that Qingfeng Li was such a talented person, Wang Fuzhi no longer wanted to talk to the students. He put the information back to its original place and asked Jiang Yiping to continue hosting with a smile. When the class meeting started, he patted Qingfeng Li on the shoulder, told him to go to his office after class, and then left the classroom with a smile on his face.
"Classmate Qingfeng, you are really hiding your secrets. Go back and sit down. Teacher Wang just said that you should study hard in our computer department from now on and stop thinking about what you have and what you don't have." Jiang Yiping said to Li Qingfeng He had a very good attitude and asked Qingfeng Li to go down with a smile on his face.
There is no class on the first day of school, so the teachers and students can get to know each other first, and then the teachers will take the students to apply for household registration, various documents and other matters.
After the first class, Jiang Yiping first led Li Qingfeng to Professor Wang's office, and then took the students in the class to apply for various documents.
When leaving, Jiang Yiping took away the information prepared by Qingfeng Li and told Qingfeng Li that he did not need to worry about his various documents, and that he would help him handle them, allowing Qingfeng Li to complete the tasks assigned by Professor Wang with peace of mind.
After Jiang Yiping left, Wang Fuzhi narrowed his eyes and led Qingfeng Li to sit on the sofa with a smile: "Qingfeng, come on, come on, sit down and drink some tea first. This is what one of my former students brought to me. Yes, I’m giving you an advantage today.”
"Hey, the tea leaves given by Professor Wang's apprentice must be good tea leaves. I'm in for a treat today." Li Qingfeng nodded and bent down to take the tea leaves from Wang Fuzhi's hand. Before he drank it, he slapped it with a flattering mouthful. .
Qingfeng Li has now looked back. He can only blame himself for being too greedy for this end. He will take what he has got and work under this little old man in the future. It is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with the professor.
Seeing that Qingfeng Li's mentality changed so quickly, Wang Fuzhi nodded with satisfaction. He is a smart child and deserves to be cultivated.
The two sat on the sofa and started chatting. Wang Fuzhi was asking questions and Qingfeng Li was answering.
When asked why English is so good, Qingfeng Li still used the same old rhetoric to fool him.Otherwise, you can’t say that you came from a later generation. Not only did you pass Level [-], but you also had a girlfriend who was an international student, right?
After a conversation, Wang Fuzhi handed over a piece of paper written in English and a thin notebook: "Qingfeng, this is an English document. In this notebook is a translation of computer professional vocabulary written by me, 伱First, translate this paper and let me see your English level."
He took the piece of paper with a smile on his face, and after just glancing at it, he knew the general content on it.
I originally wanted to fool around with the translation, but I realized that I had just missed something, so I could only honestly pick up the pen and start translating.
Wang Fuzhi didn't leave, he just sat aside and watched what Qingfeng Li translated, nodding his head from time to time, obviously very satisfied with Qingfeng Li's translation.
When the translation was halfway through, Wang Fuzhi stopped Qingfeng Li who was still translating, returned to his desk, carefully took out a thin English book and handed it to Li Qingfeng, asking Qingfeng Li to translate the entire book come out.
Qingfeng Li glanced at the cover. This book was a simple basic computer theory book from abroad, and it was also a book for primary and secondary school students.
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh. After ten years of derailment from the international market, foreign science and technology education has developed rapidly, especially the development of computers. The domestic understanding of computers is still in the silly big black group. One computer occupies a room. With a space as big as a classroom, who would have thought that IBM on the other side of the ocean would launch a real personal computer three years later.
Just when Qingfeng Li was sighing, Wang Fuzhi waved his hand in front of Qingfeng Li: "What's wrong? Why are you in a daze? Is there any difficulty?"
"No, no, I can translate," Qingfeng Li said quickly after waking up.
"That's good, take it back and translate it carefully. If you have any difficulties, come to me anytime."
Qingfeng Li, who took the reading material, did not leave in a hurry, but stood there as if he was hesitant to speak.
Seeing this situation, Wang Fuzhi was confused and asked: "What? Are there any other questions?"
"Well, Professor Wang, that's what happened. I have a question that I need you to answer," Qingfeng Li said sheepishly, pretending to be coy.
Wang Fuzhi became interested, put on his glasses and looked at Qingfeng Li solemnly: "If you have any questions, tell me."
"That's it, that, oh" "Just say whatever you have, why are you hesitating?"
"I just want to ask, are there any royalties for the translation?"
"."
Wang Fuzhi fell silent, and after a long time, he said, "I'll help you apply to the school, and you should be able to get a manuscript fee of dozens of yuan."
Based on what I learned about the translation market, I made a simple estimate. Now I can earn about five or six yuan from translating a foreign journal to a magazine. Although this computer theory book is not thick, it is much thicker than a magazine. , not to mention that it is a professional computer book. If it only costs a few dozen yuan, it is a bit small.
So Qingfeng Li neither nodded nor shook his head, just stood there and refused to move.
Seeing Qingfeng Li like this, Wang Fuzhidu laughed angrily and said angrily: "If you can translate well, I will tell the school and I will give you the translation fee. Now I am satisfied." Alright?"
"Thank you Professor"
Li Qingfeng bowed deeply to Wang Fuzhi and left his office without looking back.
Since Jiang Yiping helped him with all the chores, Qingfeng Li devoted all his attention to the translation work.
When I returned to the dormitory, I picked up my pen and started working on it.
Translating this thing is not difficult for Qingfeng Li. Although the above content is antique, Qingfeng Li still understands the basic principles. Except for some old words that are not used much in later generations, Qingfeng Li rarely translates them. The comparative dictionary given by Wang Fuzhi.
I translated half of this English computer basics in one day.
When other people in the dormitory came back in the evening, they all looked surprised when they saw Qingfeng Li burning the midnight oil, but they didn't bother him, and they all went about their own business quietly.
"Oh, damn, it's hard to make money like this. I'm exhausted."
After translating a paragraph, Qingfeng Li stopped the pen in his hand, cursed and stretched.
When the roommates in the dormitory saw Qingfeng Li finishing his work, they came over and asked Qingfeng Li what he was doing.
"It's nothing, I took over the translation job from our professor," Qingfeng Li said casually as he rubbed his eyes.
Everyone in the dormitory knew that Qingfeng Li's English was good, but they didn't expect it to be so good. Even the professor recognized his English proficiency.
"Qingfeng, I just heard you say that it's hard to make money? What's going on? Do you still have money for translation?" Hao Aiguo still has a wife and children to support at home, and his life is very difficult. When he heard that there was money to be made, he quickly Come over and ask for details.
Li Sanxi, the successor of the proletariat, also pricked his ears and waited for Qingfeng Li's answer. Others in the dormitory also looked at Qingfeng Li curiously.
The brothers in the dormitory all come from ordinary families. The most highly educated parent is probably Zheng Xiangqian, whose father is a small leader. He doesn’t have a high-achieving family and doesn’t know much about this aspect, so Li Qingfeng explained to them in detail how to translate foreign languages. Journals earn royalties.
Hearing that there was such a good thing that could make money, everyone in the dormitory, except Zheng Xiangqian, whose family was financially well off, became interested.
There is no way, there are too few ways to make money, especially for students like them. Although they can get state subsidies every month, the money is really not much.
After deducting the monthly food expenses, there is only a few dollars left, let alone other necessary expenses.
If he wanted to send money home, he could only save it through his teeth. After Hao Aiguo received the national subsidy, he immediately sent 15 yuan home, leaving only 6 yuan for himself for living expenses.
With this little money, I can only eat three steamed buns a day, and only the free vegetable soup can fill my stomach.
When Hao Aiguo and Li Sanxi proposed to learn translation from Qingfeng Li, Qingfeng Li thought for a moment, shook his head and rejected their request, and patiently explained to them the reason for the rejection.
It’s not that Qingfeng Li finds it troublesome, it’s just that not everyone can do the job of translation. With their basic English skills, they can’t translate foreign journals without a year of hard study. What’s more, there are a large number of college students majoring in English competing with them to translate this. At work, they are two physics majors, how can they compare with other majors?
