The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside
Chapter 980 Taking over the job
"Oh, it's rare to see a young person as studious as you. These two books are professional books, most people can't understand them. If you can understand them, it means you have a good level!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said modestly, "No, no, I just like to tinker with these machines, and when I see foreign books, I want to buy them back and read them."
The person in charge extended his hand and said enthusiastically: "My name is Li Guangwen, and I am the person in charge of this bookstore. If you need any books in the future, just come to me. By the way, I wonder if you are interested in translation? We often have materials that need to be translated."
Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Translation? I'm interested! My English is pretty good, I can give it a try."
In fact, his English is not very good. He has no problem understanding some ordinary books, but not some professional books.
For example, he could hardly understand the two English versions of mechanical design books he bought.
But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, he has an AFK panel! He has so many AFK positions, so it's no problem to AFK with English.
During this period, he added one more AFK slot, and now has twenty-four AFK slots.
In addition, various skills have also been significantly improved.
For example, psychology has reached level seven so far.
This skill is very useful. It helps us better understand other people's thoughts and behaviors, and makes it easier to communicate with villagers and educated youth.
Of course, the most important thing is to be able to communicate better with Yueyue.
After all, Yueyue can't speak yet, so if you want to understand her thoughts, you need to judge through her expressions, movements and other subtle details, and Zhou Ziwen's psychology skills make him more sensitive in this regard.
He can accurately detect whether Yueyue is hungry, sleepy or wants to play, and give her an appropriate response in time. This makes Yueyue feel extremely relieved and happy, and also enhances the relationship between father and daughter.
Because of psychology, little Yueyue likes being with him the most.
Even Chen Qiaoyi can't compare to this.
In addition, he also upgraded Shaolin Boxing to the maximum level, which further improved his proficiency in martial arts and provided him with many ideas and thoughts for further improving Hunyuan Shentong Boxing.
Finally, there are skills in mechanical maintenance, which require level nine for mechanical maintenance and level eight for electrical and appliance maintenance.
In a short while, all these skills will reach the maximum level, and then repairing tractors will be much easier.
Hearing Zhou Ziwen's answer, Li Guangwen was very happy: "That's great! We just happen to have a batch of English materials that need to be translated. I wonder if Comrade Zhou can help?"
Zhou Ziwen nodded when he heard this: "Of course, I'm happy to help."
Of course Zhou Ziwen would be happy to have the opportunity to make extra money.
Moreover, the money earned by working as a translator for a bookstore is legitimate and can withstand scrutiny.
"It will take some time to translate these materials. You can take them home and read them first. Then send them back after the translation is completed."
Li Guangwen handed the information to Zhou Ziwen and said, "The translation fee is calculated by the word count, so you won't suffer any loss."
Zhou Ziwen took the information, took a look at it, and found that it was not very difficult and he could translate it with his current level. It seemed that Li Guangwen was still a little bit unsure of him, so he let him test the waters first!
"Okay, I'll translate it when I get back. I'll send it to you once it's done."
"Thank you very much, Comrade Zhou." Li Guangwen said happily.
The two chatted for a few more sentences before Zhou Ziwen left the bookstore.
Zhou Ziwen was in a good mood holding the newly bought books and materials.
This trip to the county town was quite rewarding! Not only did I buy the books I needed, but I also got a part-time job as a translator.
After translating these materials, I will be able to earn a good income.
Originally he was planning to go to the recycling station, but after taking the translation job, he decided to do it well.
It’s getting late now, so I won’t go. It won’t be too late to go next time I come to the county town.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen thought of Li Guangwen, the person in charge of the bookstore.
He didn't expect that the person in charge was so easy to talk to. He dared to give him the translation job when they only met for the first time.
However, Zhou Ziwen also knew that this was because he could understand English.
In this era, there are too few people who know English.
Li Guangwen also said that the bookstore often has information that needs to be translated, so he wants to ask Zhou Ziwen to take this job on a long-term basis!
Zhou Ziwen was somewhat happy. It was like someone sent him a pillow just when he was sleepy! He was just worrying about how to make money in an honest way in the future, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come.
According to Li Guangwen, there are different levels of translation, such as translator, translator, senior translator and so on.
The things translated at each level are different. For example, Zhou Ziwen is currently working as a translator.
Generally, the content is simple, such as magazines and newspapers, and the difficulty is relatively low.
This was exactly what Zhou Ziwen wanted. His English level was actually not that high. In terms of skill level, it was only at level three.
【English LV3】(58/300)
However, he has already put this skill to good use, and his English will only get better as time goes by.
It won't be long before he can translate more complex and professional materials.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen put away the books he had bought, and then picked up the information Li Guangwen gave him and started reading.
The content of the information is half of the industrial journals published by the United States. It is not too difficult and Zhou Ziwen can barely translate it with his current English level.
It seems that Comrade Li Guangwen was really in a hurry to find someone! He dared to hand over such important information to me when we met for the first time.
If it were someone else, they would probably have to think twice, right? After all, this is a confidential matter.
However, Zhou Ziwen also understood Li Guangwen's approach. Who can blame Li Guangwen for the fact that there are so few people who know English now? He could only try his best.
I hope Zhou Ziwen won't let him down! What Zhou Ziwen didn't know was that Li Guangwen had a nickname in the county, "Li Bold".
He is really brave and dares to think and do.
This time there was really no other choice but to try every possible means.
If he knew Zhou Ziwen's true level, he probably wouldn't trust him so much.
Of course, this is only temporary. After a month or two, his English level will change dramatically.
Zhou Ziwen sat at the table, opened the industrial journal, and began to translate it word by word.
Chen Qiaoyi was full of curiosity when she saw Zhou Ziwen busy with a pile of English materials after he came back.
She walked gently to Zhou Ziwen, placed a cup of steaming tea on the table, and then tilted her head and asked, "Brother Ziwen, what are you doing? These dense English words, can you understand them?"
Zhou Ziwen raised his head, looked at Chen Qiaoyi and smiled, and explained simply: "Qiaoyi, this is the translation job I took from the county bookstore. The bookstore owner gave me these English materials and asked me to translate them into Chinese. Although it seems a bit difficult now, it's no problem to spend more time."
