The hostess always wants to grab my knife

Chapter 17 After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn

Although he was very impatient with his wife, Ke Licheng sent someone to investigate the next morning.

There was news that night.

"What!? The person disappeared." Ke Licheng was also surprised when he heard the news, and hurriedly asked. "Did you find out where it went?"

"No, according to the neighbors, the couple left very suddenly, and they didn't reveal where they went." The person on the other end of the phone acted very guilty because he couldn't find any clues.

Ke Licheng frowned, trying to get angry, but he held back. After hanging up the phone, Ke's mother who happened to be nearby said. "I think she is probably in the imperial capital now, maybe Cheng Xi knew about our family just because he met her."

"Her relationship with Cheng Xi has always been better than that with Ah Yun. It's normal for Cheng Xi to blame Xiaoxue because of her. Otherwise, with Xiaoxue's character and appearance, he wouldn't have such a bad attitude towards Xiaoxue."

When Ke's mother thought that the disaster star was in the same city as her precious daughter, she felt uneasy.

"Let's go to the imperial capital tomorrow." Their family used to live a harmonious and happy life, but now suddenly uncontrollable factors of instability appeared, which made Ke Licheng feel uneasy, and had to deal with the matter as soon as possible.

Originally, he didn't care because he felt that no matter how much trouble the other party made, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if she really hooked up with Cheng Xi, it would be a little troublesome to deal with.

Cheng Xi didn't know that it was because he had exposed You Xi's position, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't pay attention to it. After all, he couldn't do anything to the elementary school with him protecting the Ke family. Besides, he was sitting nervously in the auditorium and waiting I don't care about anything else at all.

Not long ago, Youxi signed up for the Youth Translation Contest.

The winning champion can be recommended to the Department of Foreign Languages ​​of Imperial University.

You Xi has excellent foreign language proficiency, coupled with his rich experience, so he rushed to the final without any suspense.

After passing the listening and written tests, the final form is an open interview.

The contestants who entered the final stand on the stage, and the judges and teachers randomly select the test questions for the contestants to interpret.

Sometimes it is Chinese to English, sometimes it is English to Chinese.

Because the order was determined by lottery, I don't know if it is lucky, Yuxi got the last one to answer the question.

If the mentality is not good, drawing the last one will intensify the tension. On the contrary, it is better to die early and give birth early. Yuxi has always had a good mentality, so he is not nervous when looking at the contestants in front, but the waiting time is a bit long, which is inevitable. boring.

When You Xi was sitting on the stage and secretly greeting Cheng Xi and Sanriyue who were in the audience, it was finally the turn of the penultimate girl to answer the question.

The test questions drawn by the judges were a short piece of news, ten seconds of preparation time, and the girls were required to translate it into English.

The news is not difficult. There are only four or five sentences in total. Although the sentences are a bit long, there are no uncommon words, so the girl translated them fluently.

This translation competition is nationwide. It is most famous for its difficulty in the first test, and the second test is even more difficult, but in the final, the questions become very easy. Perhaps it is because the people who can pass the previous selection are all very capable. However, in the finals, the judges chose to examine their on-the-spot performance and coping ability.

After the girl finished translating, she returned to her seat and waited for the rating.

Finally when it came time for You Xi to draw questions, the judges drew out a test question in English translation.

What was displayed on the big screen was a poem, a love poem in English.

IloveagirlLovehereyesLovehers'mile

She Like the spring She Like the moon

Atnight She goes walking through my mind

The love is forever

A very simple love poem in English that does not contain any rare words.Of course, it’s not that Youxi was lucky enough to get a simple question, but that as long as the questions in the English translation seem to be simple, and this question is very simple, people with a little English background can understand the meaning of this poem.

Sure enough, the audience began to whisper in the auditorium.

"Speaking of this competition, the English translation and Chinese questions are too simple, I can basically understand them all."

"Isn't it like liking a girl, liking her eyes, liking her smile, liking her forever, and using translation for that?"

"English-to-Chinese translation is so simple, so the students who get the Chinese-to-English translation topic are at a disadvantage."

Under normal circumstances, most people think that Chinese-English translation is more difficult than English-Chinese translation. After all, Chinese-English translation also needs to consider word expression and grammatical structure, while English-Chinese translation only needs to express the general meaning.

The fact seems to be true, but now it is a translation competition, is it true that the simpler the questions, the better?

It would be naive to think so, because the simpler the questions, the harder it is to reflect a person's translation level. Although the difficulty is low, the scores given by the judges will also be lowered.

Therefore, those who knew the game didn't say anything. Instead, they sweated for Yuxi on the stage. It was a bit unreasonable to ask her to show her own level for such a simple question.

The ten-second preparation time passed in the blink of an eye. When Cheng Xi was about to break out in a cold sweat, You Xi, who was standing on the stage, bowed calmly to the judges, and then began to translate.

Contrary to what the audience imagined, she didn't use "I love her", I like her words that express her heart.

"There are beautiful women, beautiful eyes, hopeful eyes, and beautiful smiles"

Just after listening to the beginning, the judges in the audience lighted up first, and then all looked at each other and smiled.

"It's as bright as spring flowers, as bright as the autumn moon."

The reaction of the audience was slightly slower than that of the judges, and they were a little confused at the beginning. This was obviously a translation competition, so why did they suddenly recite the Book of Songs.But most of the audience found a blind spot in Yuxi's full of emotion, that is, the slow speed of speech.

Although the first reaction is that English poetry and the Book of Songs are completely irrelevant, but after thinking about it carefully, although the language is different, the meaning is the same.

"Thinking about it, tossing and turning."

Compared with those vernacular, the Book of Songs is really not too beautiful.The audience who originally thought the game was too simple and shifted their attention to other places began to focus on listening to the next translation, because they also wanted to know how Yuxi would translate the last cheesy "I love you forever".

Do you still use poetry?

As soon as doubts arose, Yuxi gave the answer here.

"If you want to know each other, you will have a long life."

Although I don't know where this poem came from, but it sounds good and it is easy to translate, so after You Xi finished the translation, most of the audience applauded for their face.

Especially Cheng Xi applauded very hard.

On the contrary, it was Sanriyue beside him. When others were lamenting Yuxi's talent, he hadn't recovered from Yuxi's smiling glance, so much so that he forgot to applaud.

As a result of the competition, Yuxi was qualified to be sent to the Foreign Language Department of Imperial University by relying on his favor from the will of the world.

While celebrating, Cheng Xi suddenly had doubts. "Xiaoxue, I see that you are also very interested in literature. Although you are eligible for recommendation in this competition, it is not a big problem to get into Imperial University with your grades in the college entrance examination. Why did you choose the foreign language department instead of the Chinese department?"

"Did you forget?" Yuxi replied with a smile. "My childhood dream was to be a translator."

Hearing what You Xi said, Cheng Xi suddenly recalled that Ke Xue had a very good language talent when she was young, and read all the fairy tale books in the original version. When she was playing house, she pretended to be a mother and told him stories directly. foreign language.

At that time, she often told herself that she was praised by some uncles and aunts, saying that she would become a diplomat or translator in the future.

Cheng Xi couldn't help laughing when he recalled the memories of his childhood.

Obviously, Ke Xue has grown up in front of her. Generally speaking, people's impressions of people will change with the passage of time and people's growth, but I don't know why, the more I get along with her, those childhood memories become more and more vivid. bright.

He couldn't help but miss the past more and more.

The author has something to say: Sorry for the late update today.

In the article, the sentence "If you want to know each other, you will live forever without exhaustion" comes from the ancient Yuefu poem "Shangxie". You may be familiar with this poem. The classic lines of Nai Gan and Jun Jue evolved from this poem.

PS: The translation competition in this article was invented by me, because I didn’t learn translation, so if there are any bugs, please don’t take offense.
