Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 239 Work Conference
When Chu Tianling was in full swing in training in the army, Xia Nuan couldn't take it easy.

Since the reform and opening up, the country attaches the most importance to a National Day event, and it is natural to invite leaders from various countries to come to watch the ceremony.

With foreign guests, it is of course necessary for our diplomatic interpreters to play.

On this day, Xia Nuan had just arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from home and had just arrived at work.

Xia Nuan was sitting in the seat, and before she could sit still for 2 minutes, a colleague from her department came to tell her that a meeting was going to be held.

It has been more than half a year since I started working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Every Monday, the regular meeting of the department, Xia Nuan always keeps the time in mind and never misses it.

But this is the first time Xia Nuan has seen such a large-scale "conference" today. Although there is nothing wrong with her, she still feels a little nervous.

There were many people who participated in the meeting. There were colleagues who Xia Nuan could see often, and staff who Xia Nuan had never met. There were leaders of Xia Nuan's department, and I heard that there were other colleagues from the Ministry of Armed Forces and the Ministry of Commerce.

Our country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a government department with complex systems and heavy workloads.

As a translator, Xia Nuan is currently a junior position as a translation assistant and is assigned to the General Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although Xia Nuan's position is not high, the general office is a department that can take over many important foreign affairs, so generally speaking, the promotion will be fast.

Other agencies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also include the familiar Administrative Department, Finance Department, and the less familiar Policy Planning Department, Arms Control Department, etc...

There are as many as 27 organizations, large and small.

Xia Nuan knew about these things before, but when the meeting was held today and the colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were gathered for the first time, Xia Nuan still felt a little shocked.

Generally speaking, there should be three spokespersons for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.It is held concurrently by the director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and two deputy directors.

But sometimes it will happen that there are speakers from the Four Foreign Languages ​​or other special circumstances.

The year that Xia Nuan entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was the first year that Mr. Huang Hua, the fifth Minister of Foreign Affairs, had just left office.

The sixth Minister of Foreign Affairs was Mr. Wu Xueqian who worked with Mr. Huang Hua at that time and also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

That's right, it was the leader whom Xia Nuan met somehow.

Minister Wu Xueqian was also one of the spokespersons of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the time, so the meeting was naturally presided over by the minister.

When Xia Nuan saw Minister Wu Xueqian stepping up to the podium with the information in his hand, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

This feeling of surprise, surprise, and a little fright was comparable to the mood when I saw the Prime Minister.

After Xia Nuan listened to Minister Wu Xueqian's introduction, she silently wiped off her cold sweat.

Fortunately, I didn't let myself go during the interview and said something "out of tune", otherwise it would be "shameful".

"Good morning, friends from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Minister Wu Xueqian lives up to his name, he looks very modest and his speech is gentle.

"Everyone must have learned from the news that our country is about to usher in the 35th anniversary of our founding."

Different from the impassioned speeches made by military leaders, Minister Wu Xueqian spoke slowly and in a very orderly manner.

"We are all staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country. No matter which department they are in, they are the pillars of our country's cultivation."

"We also deserve to contribute to the country."

"This National Day ceremony is the best opportunity for us to display our talents."

"I hope that everyone will actively participate in the work and show the beauty of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to all countries in the world!"

In the final speech, Minister Wu Xueqian encouraged everyone with high spirits.

In fact, there is no need to specially encourage them. Everyone is very enthusiastic about their work. Colleagues are very active in the jobs that can "glow and shine".

At the end of the meeting, the department leader proposed to let the colleagues who are engaged in translation work stay for a while.

Xia Nuan and other colleagues waited for the others to leave and stayed in the conference hall.

Minister Wu Xueqian is not speaking this time.It's another one, the spokesperson who can often be seen on TV.

"Everyone left here, some are translation reviewers and sub-translation reviewers, and some are translators and assistant translators."

"Although in normal work, everyone's duties and positions are different."

"However, on the National Day, we must work together to translate for all the foreign guests attending the meeting. It is on your shoulders!"

Only then did Xia Nuan and the others realize that there was a big task for them.

The leader of the organization said that an assessment will be conducted tomorrow.

The general meaning is that if you want to participate in the translation work for the National Day Ceremony, it is not enough to become a translator for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you have to pass the exam tomorrow.

Like Xia Nuan, other colleagues who are engaged in translation work are also eager to try.

Some nervously carry out today's daily work.

When he returned home, Chu Tianling found that Xia Nuan was a little absent-minded.

After Chu Tianling served Xia Nuan food for the third time, but Xia Nuan didn't respond, Chu Tianling finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Nuan Nuan, what's the matter with you? Has something happened?"

Chu Tianling was very concerned and asked anxiously.

At this time, Xia Nuan came back to her senses, and found that her son and husband were looking at her with concern, a little embarrassed.

In fact, Xia Nuan is preparing for tomorrow's assessment.

It is a habit that Xia Nuan has developed over the years to review the knowledge he has learned in the learning system.

That's why it looks like a distraction.

Xia Nuan explained a little funny that tomorrow the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have an assessment.

Chu Tianling also breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem like a big deal.

"I was scared to death. I thought something was wrong. How could Nuan Nuan worry about the assessment? You have always been the best!"

After Chu Tianling knew what happened, he comforted Xia Nuan.

Baozi also said at this time, "Mom is the best!"

It made Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling laugh out loud.

The next day's assessment arrived as scheduled.

Xia Nuan really didn't feel nervous anymore, after all, she had already taken many exams since she was a child.

Besides, when it comes to professional knowledge and professional translation literacy, apart from her short entry time, she is no worse than others.

The content of the assessment is actually not complicated.

Regardless of their positions, everyone was randomly divided into groups of five and entered the room for the test.

The process of the test is to play a part of the normal fast speaking voice for everyone.

Everyone performs oral translation according to the voice, and there is not even a written test.

But the leader of the invigilator should be familiar with everyone's major and department.

Because when Xia Nuan took off his earphones, he could vaguely hear other people's earphones playing in Russian, French and other languages.

Xia Nuan finished the exam without any stage fright, and returned to work as usual, facing the possible assessment results with a normal attitude.

"Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it's impossible to fire me, right?" Xia Nuan thought comfortingly, with a hint of optimism.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The leaders of the department just want to pass the assessment to see what kind of adaptability everyone has. After all, there will be a lot of foreign guests attending the ceremony.

If you feel that responsiveness is not so good, it is a big deal not to allow translation alone.

Unexpectedly, Xia Nuan's oral English is very good, not only the pronunciation is standard, but also the language organization is very fluent.

What is commendable is that although Xia Nuan has good grades, she is very smart and considers the issue of convenient communication in the actual context.

In other words, she did not deliberately use various advanced vocabulary in order to show her high level of foreign language, but grasped the key points and translated accurately.

When the leaders of various departments were reviewing, they were very satisfied with Xia Nuan's performance.

Especially Yan Yu felt that Xia Nuan had improved in all aspects compared to before.

This shows that Xia Nuan is a positive and enterprising person, and she did not relax her requirements because she is talented or has a higher starting point than others.

Xia Nuan was unaware of the leaders' appreciation for Xia Nuan.

Even when we were about to get off work, our Ms. Xia Nuan was still thinking about what to have for dinner today.
