Reborn Cultural Empire

Since Zhenda sent this girl over to undertake the translation task, they must have recognized her level, and logically speaking, they would also introduce their own situation to the other party in advance, so as not to make people blindfolded and come here directly. .But after learning about the situation, he couldn't help showing this expression. It seemed that he was really surprised by his age.

But boys have passed the period when they feel vanity and satisfaction no matter who surprises them.He is just an ordinary person whose mentality is beyond his superficial age, and generally speaking, he is still mature. If he is an ordinary person, he will have a sense of vanity.Yang Yi’s sense of vanity can’t be felt by anyone, only with people who are at the same level—at least the lowest grade can’t be too different from him, he can feel this kind of feeling, the envy of ordinary people Jealousy, he is almost completely immune now.

"Sit down." When Yang saw that the girl didn't react immediately, saying hello or doing self-introduction work, he had no choice but to take the initiative to say hello: "Well, if it's convenient for you now, just introduce yourself, and then put this A few paragraphs of British English on a piece of paper, converted in American English,"

"Oh, I'm sorry." After hearing Yang Yi's reminder, the girl broke away from the astonishment just now, and hurriedly apologized to the boy, but she couldn't help but secretly blamed herself for such an important interview. I actually lost my mind, it is simply impossible to forgive.But she blamed herself, the girl adjusted her mentality immediately, and then looked at the boy behind the desk: "mynme..."

"The introduction in Chinese is fine, don't worry about it. Wait a minute, as long as you can translate the content above, that's a serious test. Now you just need to report your family name." Yang Yi quickly interrupted Although the other party said that the girl's actions were correct, he didn't need to be so cautious. [

Hearing what Yang Yi said, the girl didn't feel relieved, but rather confused—could the other party not understand English?That's it.My next exchange and communication will be a big trouble.But when she changed her mind and saw the "test paper" for translation in front of her, she became suspicious for the second time. Since the other party could produce this test paper, she should know something.The girl herself didn't realize it, because when she met Yang Yiyi just now, the shock of his age brought her the illusion that everyone was together to tease her.Let yourself be in a relatively substandard state in the performance from the meeting to the present.

After she had thought so much, she came back to herself in annoyance and reflection, and found that the other party was already looking at her with very strange eyes, her cheeks on both sides turned red again, and she hurriedly said, "Sorry, I'm sorry. My name is Han Fei, a meager one, not a legalist celebrity. Now I am a third-year student in the English Department of Zhenda College of Foreign Languages. I have passed the special eighth exam. In addition, I am familiar with written writing and daily listening and speaking. Written translation is my strong point. ..."

He said a lot in one breath, and the boy opposite just put on a listening posture, the attitude and performance of the other party.Among her peers, Han Fei, who can be regarded as a relatively mature and outstanding girl, also felt a strange feeling in a trance-it seemed that the boy in front of her was just a guy wearing a boy's mask, But his real face is a middle-aged uncle with a little experience and a little vicissitudes.

She didn't know why she had this idea, but the other party turned his head slightly with a serious expression, and nodded his head from time to time.Let her think so involuntarily.

And after she finished the introduction, the boy didn't speak for a long time, but after pondering for a while, when Han Fei couldn't help but feel a little worried, he paused for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, your situation is quite different from mine. Unexpected. Because when I contacted your department before, it was stated that people with similar experience in translation are required, especially those who have translated novel publications are the best, but you obviously have some differences with this requirement... Forget it. Now that everyone is here, let’s speak with the facts. You translate all the British English paragraphs on this piece of paper into American English. What I want is the details, and I can’t have any of the smallest details. Negligence and omission, now can begin."

Han Fei, who has always been more than calm, took the paper with a little apprehension, and then scanned it at a glance.

Just after reading it, she had a general understanding of the English level of the boy in front of her - if the content on this "test paper" was all set by him himself.Many of the above places are not noticed by non-British and American speakers, but there are extremely subtle differences in British English passages in the two languages ​​of the same origin.In many places, as long as a little negligence, the difference and charm between the two cannot be expressed.But this time she didn't hesitate anymore, but directly picked up the pen and started her own quiz.

After a while, Han Fei also quickly completed her "homework", but when she looked up, the other party was immersed in her own world again, tapping quickly with both hands in front of the computer behind the desk, typing on the keyboard. The sound lingered and echoed in the room, without even a second of interruption in the middle.Although Han Fei is not a student of the Chinese Department, so she doesn't know what a state of inspiration is, but she also knows that it is best not to bother the current Yang Yi.So after thinking about it, she picked up the test paper again and started to check it.

I don't know how long it has passed, anyway, the college girls checked the test papers in front of them four or five times in a row, until they confirmed that they could no longer make any changes, and waited for a long time under the double invasion of chatting and anticipation, before the other party came out He raised his head from the back of the computer: "Well, it's finished? I'm so sorry, I suddenly came up with an inspiration just now, and thought of a very important plot, so I almost forgot that there is a translation lady, sorry."

After apologizing with a smile, Yang Yi picked up the test paper, and then slowly checked it. When his eyes fell on the paper, he sometimes frowned slightly, and sometimes looked puzzled as if he was denying something.His expression made Han Fei, who was waiting for the result, feel a little bit like waiting for the teacher to correct the test papers and calculate the scores in primary and secondary schools, and he was in a mood like fifteen buckets fetching water.

In this ups and downs mood, the boy behind the paper finally put down the paper in his hand, and after showing her a slight inexplicable meaning, he put the test paper in front of her: "Generally speaking, I am quite satisfied, But there is a small place here that I am not quite clear about, please explain it to me - this is here. In British English, it is basically the case of the third-person upside-down. After translating into American English, the entire sentence pattern does not need Adjusting the structure? Why do I remember..."

After some exchanges, Yang Yi also figured out the cause of the problem. He is proficient in British English. If he covered his face and talked to an old Londoner, the other party would never think it was a foreigner's intonation and accent.But if he switched to Citigroup English, he would not be able to guarantee that the imitation would be perfect.There are many subtle differences, and he can only distinguish them after seeing the specific expressions of the two languages ​​of the same origin. Just let him translate directly, and the reborn man can only say that he has not gone against the sky to that extent .

And after the two exchanged.Yang Yiyi had a relatively intuitive understanding of Han Fei's ability.But after all, he himself is not the person who can draw conclusions, so he contacted the contact person at Random House through the Internet, that is, the ghost Edward, and copied the test paper that Han Fei just completed, and then asked The other party helped to contact a native-born Citigroup editor to check the translation of the test paper.

Not long after, there was a reply there.It means that the translation is perfect and wrong. If you only look at the literal translation, the other party said that this is the language habits and techniques of an authentic Citiman who has been engaged in writing work for many years.

In this way, the investigation of Han Fei's qualifications can be regarded as complete, and the two parties have reached a preliminary cooperation intention: "Then your actions will start now. Well, this is the first volume of "Twilight", You try to translate first. Do you want paper and pen or use a computer? If you use a computer, go to the machine next to it, the Chinese document has been recorded on the disk, you just need to translate it directly.”

"Now?" Han Fei froze on the chair for a moment, thinking that it was the first time she had seen what it means to act vigorously and resolutely.But looking at Yang Yi's expression that was taken for granted, she finally managed to swallow the next words, and quickly shook her head: "No problem, I just thought I was asked to take it back to translate. I didn't expect to start here now." .”

"If you have a computer, you can take it home. It's nothing." Yang Yi nodded, and had no opinion on the other party's words: "I just thought that the popularity of computers in the current school may not be very high. That's why It’s better to let you work in the company, since you have a personal plan, then feel free to do so.”

After hearing Yang Yi's explanation, Han Fei was more relieved, because even though the other party looked like a high school student, even though she knew that her appearance was not necessarily very attractive to a person of the opposite sex, she was still A girl, as long as she is a girl, will subconsciously have a defensive and vigilant mentality towards the unusual demands of the opposite sex, which is also human nature.

But when she figured out that the other party did this only out of work considerations and care, Han Fei felt a little bit disappointed. Being treated with a business-like attitude by the other party will almost always feel Han Fei's current feelings. [

But seeing Yang Yi acting as if he could do whatever he wanted, anyway, I'm going to be busy with work now, Han Fei couldn't help being curious.

A talented young writer, on the road of life, the boss of the company who has left most of his peers far behind, what kind of state is he like when he is working, or how is his daily life different from others, Han Fei is actually very interested in this.If you agree to Yang Yi's suggestion and work here, you can take this opportunity to get to know this young man in depth.So after thinking about it for less than three seconds, Han Fei readily agreed, because she was just interested in it, not out of the affection between a man and a woman, so she was thinking about it and put it aside. After having a positive attitude, I am more open-minded than before. (To be continued.
