Era: Starting from Modu Translation Studio

Anyone who knows Tragedy on the Nile knows that when Detective Poirot said these words, the love murder case on the ship had just been concluded.

What he said to the young couple at this time was like an experienced old man's warning to a young man.

It's like the old saying, Sail the boat with caution.

Therefore, take it easy is indeed more in line with the plot.

Of course, this is not what Jiangshan meant.

In his last life, he was fortunate enough to be invited to visit the archives of the Shanghai Translation Studio, which contained translated scripts from around the 1980s.

Many of the translated lines recorded above have been revised three times and four times.

The old artists of those days pursued excellence.

Afterwards, the quality of translated films gradually weakened, causing later generations to prefer watching original films.

Take it easy?... This is really... Team Leader Lu was the first to speak: Director Hu, are you getting it right this time?

He couldn't describe what he wanted to express for a while, so he felt that the phrase take it easy must be what the factory director was looking for.

Wonderful, hahaha,

After listening to Jiang Shan's translation, Hu Xiao, who had been feeling stuck in his throat for this translation, suddenly felt relieved: Take it easy~ How did you come up with this idea?

Jiang Shan smiled and said: I imagined myself as the great detective Poirot, and then I thought about what I would say at that time.

It makes sense. Director Hu felt that this idea was worth learning: This little comrade of yours is very talented in translating and editing videos. It's good. What's your name?

country.

Team Leader Lu, Hu Xiao was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Shan: I want this Comrade Xiao Jiang. I will tell him about the benefits of our factory later.

He walked out the door as he spoke. After getting a satisfactory answer, Director Hu hurried back to the recording studio: Oh, by the way, what Comrade Xiao Jiang just said is worth two yuan. Don't forget to give it to me today.

Being able to resolve the factory director's worries, Team Leader Lu was in a good mood: Don't worry!

In this way, after Director Hu left, Jiang Shan and the older gay man were retained by the translation team.

Because our unit currently does not have redundant positions, we can only recruit two comrades as temporary translators,

Team Leader Lu said to the two new colleagues:

But the treatment given to you by the factory is pretty good. It's three yuan a day. Every day you work is counted as a day. I'll do the attendance check and go to the accounting office to settle the accounts in a month. Our regular workers here don't get that much.

Jiangshan believes this. In 1978, the monthly salary of ordinary workers in Pujiang City was about 40 yuan, and that of municipal cadres was only more than 100 yuan.

Therefore, Jiang Shan is very satisfied with this temporary translation job.

Just as he was about to walk out of the door, Team Leader Lu chased him out again and handed him two dollars with a smile.

And told Jiang Shan that there was an unwritten rule in their Pujiang Translation Studio.

When the director or dubbing director shouts: Can someone help me think of a good word, it's two dollars for two!

Jiang Shan understood: Just like me today?

Yes, Lu Yi said. The more he looked at Jiangshan, the more he liked him. Just ten minutes ago, Jiangshan passed the Japanese test again:

Recently the Ministry of Culture organized the China-Japan Friendship Bridge Film Exhibition, and our factory is rushing to translate two Japanese films,

Jiang Shan nodded, remembering that this year happened to be in Huayue's honeymoon period.

Team leader Lu continued to explain to Jiangshan:

Divide into two groups and do it at the same time. Tomorrow you will join the Pursuit group to help.

Manhunt? Jiang Shan was a little excited when he heard the familiar movie: Okay, I will be there on time tomorrow.

Team leader Lu smiled and patted Jiang Shan on the shoulder: Young man, do your best!

On the way home, Jiang Shan suddenly felt that it was quite interesting to be back in 1978.

The next second he saw the two dollars in his hand, he immediately put away the smile on his face.

It is now September 1978, the moment when the long-lasting ice melts.

Before the first spring breeze has landed smoothly, the best policy is to stand still!

Standing still is stable, but being poor is very stable!

He's only 1.8 meters tall, but he only has a few bucks in his pocket.

Recently, he dare not speak too loudly.

…

There's still some time before dinner.

On the old wooden bunk bed, two brothers from the Jiang family slept.

Third brother, do you still have a headache recently?

At this moment, second brother Jiang He, who was sleeping on the lower floor, coughed: If the pain is severe, tell me, second brother will take you to the hospital again!

Jiang Shan knocked on the bed frame: Stop talking, don't start breathing again soon!

The second brother murmured: Don't worry~ I won't die, I've already gotten used to it!

Jiang Shan didn't speak anymore. He had to squint for a while before dinner every day, otherwise he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to endure the all-night shift later.

The room he sleeps in now is about 7 or 8 square meters.

The Jiang family in a large courtyard has three bungalows, one for Jiangshan's parents, and one for his elder brother and sister-in-law with their children.

The remaining room in the middle is divided into two halves. In the front is the dining table where the family eats, and in the back is the small room where Jiang Shan and his second brother live.

A bunk bed, a desk, and a chest of drawers, very old but still stable.

This was originally younger sister Jiang Chuan's room. This year, after her two older brothers, who were educated youths, returned to their hometowns and returned to the city, younger sister set up a small bed beside the dining table outside.

Jiang Shan was an orphan in his last life. He always longed for a family, but he never thought that he would realize it in this life.

There are three sons and one daughter in the Jiang family, and they are named in the order of sea, river, mountain and river.

Jiang Shan is the third eldest, and there is a younger sister who is in the second year of high school.

Myself's previous reputation was not very good.

Just a few months after returning to his hometown and the city, he has become a well-known street kid. He almost lost his life in a fight a while ago. (In fact, it has already been sent away)

The second brother, who was sleeping on the lower bunk at the time, blocked a few bricks for him regardless of his own weak body.

When Jiang Shan was 15 years old and had just graduated from junior high school, he clamored to go to the countryside, saying that it was so that his second brother, who was in poor health, could stay in the city.

In fact, I just don’t want to continue studying.

Although the second brother Jiang He still died the next year, it did not stop the second brother from always thinking of his kindness. No matter how hard and tired he was as an educated youth, he would still save rations and send them to his younger brother.

Alas~

After a long sigh, Jiang Shan was pulled away from his memories.

Jiang Ma's voice came from outside: It's time to eat!

No. 51 courtyard is divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back. The backyard where the Jiang family is located is the quietest. Apart from the Jiang family, there is only an old couple named Li.

In early autumn, the family sat in the open space in front of the door to eat.

Jiang Shan was eating and reading the newspaper under the setting sun.

Jiang Ma put a chopstick of meat into his bowl and said, This kid has been really crazy lately. He even reads the newspaper while eating. I have your favorite braised pork today.

Jiang's mother has a round face that looks good on the country and the people, but the one she is most worried about is her youngest son Jiang Shan.

In order to transfer her youngest son back to the city, Jiang's mother gritted her teeth and applied for early retirement, so that the former owner could smoothly return to the city and join the factory.

But out of his monthly apprentice salary of 18 yuan, he could spend 17 yuan on his female colleagues, and then go home to make trouble again, never giving Jiang Ma a good look.

In Jiangshan's memories, Jiang's mother secretly shed a lot of tears.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan quickly stuffed the braised pork into his mouth: Mom, it tastes so good!

Father Jiang glanced at him and couldn't help but smile bitterly: That's because you haven't seen meat for a long time.

Jiang Ma's cooking skills have never been good, let alone the Jiang family's food.

Anyway, in the month that I've been traveling through Jiangshan, I haven't seen a lot of meat, and there's not even a trace of fruit.

Jiang Ma retired early and her retirement salary was halved to 16 yuan per month.

The Pujiang Garment Factory where Jiang's father works has not paid bonuses since the beginning of the year.

In order to complete the employment personnel allocation tasks continuously issued by the above.

Now there is an apprentice worker standing behind every worker in the factory.

Workers' wages have also dropped from the original 36 yuan to 26 yuan.

In 1978, educated youth began to return to their hometowns and cities.

Suddenly, every unit received a notice to expand staff positions.

The above purpose is very clear, allowing employees in poor health to retire early and have their wages halved. Five people are allowed to do three jobs, and the wages are the same.

The purpose is to speed up the work allocation for unemployed youth.

There are two educated youths in the Jiang family, and I don’t know if the distribution will be smooth after the second child recovers.

While Jiang Shan was making plans, the boss Jiang Hai suddenly remembered something: By the way, third boss, did you go to the translation factory today?

Jiang Shan nodded: I'm going.

The eldest brother was a little surprised: You really dare to go? Didn't they kick you out?

You're looking down on people, Jiang Shan gave his second brother a piece of meat. Director Hu from the translation studio met me personally and asked me to go to work tomorrow.

Huh? The boss was stunned: What type of work does their factory recruit?

Translator, translator, translator, Jiang Shan picked up chopsticks for his eldest brother again: Thankfully you opened a letter of introduction for me, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get in.

Now, not only the boss, but the whole family was stunned.

Translation, when did the third child become able to speak foreign languages?

Jiang's mother worriedly said: Xiao San, you can't go to other people's units to cheat.

When he first arrived, Jiang Shan felt awkward when he heard this title, but after hearing it for a long time, he became convinced.

No lie, this is today's salary,

Jiang Shan handed the two dollars to Jiang's mother: Don't worry, your mistress has a lot of skills.

Jiang Ma looked at the money in her hand, then at Jiang Shan's sunny smile, and immediately started laughing:

This factory has rules. You'll be paid as soon as you go. It's just too little, only two yuan a month.

One day. Jiang Shan emphasized.

You're just bragging. Younger sister Jiang Chuan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: You're just talking nonsense.

Many of the previous actions of the previous owner had always made younger sister Jiang Chuan very angry.

In her eyes, the third brother is just one elbow turned outward, giving money to others for two hundred and fifty.

Father Jiang and his second brother laughed and said nothing. They both knew the third child's urine behavior very well.

Only the eldest brother Jiang Hai was silent. Yesterday, his younger brother suddenly came to him for help in opening a letter of introduction.

Jiang Hai didn't believe it at that time, so he asked him to say a few words. Although he didn't understand them, it didn't feel like they were fake:

Third brother, Jiang Hai asked doubtfully, Do you really know foreign languages? Where did you learn them?

Jiang Shan was waiting for this sentence. He put down his chopsticks and looked around:

Do you know how I survived in the countryside a few years ago?

As soon as he finished speaking, the small courtyard was silent.

At this time, Jiang Shan's face was filled with vicissitudes that were not for his age, as if he had fallen into memories: I went to Northern Jiangsu the year after I graduated from junior high school...

The most convincing lie is nine truths and one lie.
