Chapter 6: Old Xu's Shock
The translation of a few pages is really not difficult for Zhou Yang, a Chinese scholar who publishes papers in English all the year round.
If you don't need to write out the Chinese translation, if you just dictate it, it can be completed in two minutes at most.
But even so, when Zhou Yang spent five minutes handing the letter full of translations to Lao Xu, the other party was still shocked.
This paragraph had been translated into English before, and Lao Xu found the standard "answer" and compared it one by one with Zhou Yang's translation.
Except for the differences in the use of individual words, overall it is very good.
Lao Xu knew that the young man in front of him was a real translation genius, and immediately said: "Your level is good and you are qualified to take on the task, but according to regulations, we need to review your personal information!"
Zhou Yang was obviously prepared, and he immediately took out supporting documents such as his identity certificate and the letter of introduction from the brigade.
Lao Xu carefully checked the information handed over by Zhou Yang. When he saw that Zhou Yang was an educated youth from the capital, he couldn't help but asked: "You are from the capital and you jumped in line to come to our place?"
"Well, jump in line at the Yunshan County Unity Commune!"
"How many years?"
"5 years!"
"It's been five years, why didn't you think of coming here to take over the job before?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Firstly, I didn't know there was such a job, and secondly, my wife has always been the breadwinner of the family, so I have no motivation to make money!"
"Haha, then you have married a good wife!"
"Well, I think so too!"
Thinking of that cute little girl, Zhou Yang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"I saw that your identity certificate is fine. I wonder how you want to take the job?"
"Is there any other choice for this?" Zhou Yang asked puzzledly.
"Yes, according to the level of the translator, we divide all translators into translators, translators, and senior translators. Different levels can accept different tasks!"
Then Lao Xu continued: "Your level is not bad, but now you can only be regarded as a translator, so you can only take on translation work for some foreign magazines and periodicals. When your level increases, you can take on some high-level tasks!
"
"Uh... I would like to ask how the royalties are calculated and how to increase the level!"
"If you are translating a magazine or periodical, the price per article will be 5 yuan if it is less than 3,000 words, and 3 yuan per 1,000 words if it is more than 3,000 words!"
Then, Lao Xu said again: "As for how to improve the level of a translator, there is actually only one way, and that is to translate more works!"
"Are there any specific promotion criteria?"
"If your translation works exceed 10,000 words, and the accuracy rate is above 90%, you can become a translator. If your translation works exceed 100,000 words, and the accuracy rate is above 95%, you can be promoted to translator. If your translation works exceed 1 million words, and the accuracy rate is above 98%, you can be promoted to a senior translator.
!”
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "Well, first find me some journals, preferably in industry or mathematics!"
Lao Xu then took out a medium-thick magazine and said: "This is the latest task issued by the above. You can try it! But if you want to take the book home for translation, you must pay a deposit of 10 yuan!"
Zhou Yang picked up the book and looked at it, and found that it was an industrial journal published by Meiliguo last month, with about fifty pages.
Depending on my own level, if I go all out, I can finish translating this journal in two, four, five hours at most.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang looked at the tables and chairs beside him and said, "Can I stay there for a while?"
Lao Xu obviously saw Zhou Yang's intention and asked in surprise: "Do you want to translate directly here?"
"No way!"
"Okay, okay, but you have to know that your translated works must be submitted to the higher authorities for review. Only works that pass the review will be paid. So even if you have finished the translation now, I can't pay you the remuneration."
!”
"It doesn't matter, the remuneration can be settled slowly! I have three days of vacation this time. I hope to upgrade my level to translator during these three days, and then I can take on some more advanced tasks back home!" Zhou Yang said
"good!"
Perhaps Zhou Yang's performance just now really shocked Lao Xu, so he not only prepared a pen and stationery for Zhou Yang, but also poured him a glass of water.
Zhou Yang was not polite and sat at the small round table by the window of the bookstore, translating the journal in his hand with peace of mind!
........
This journal is not a top-secret document. Although it involves some professional terminology, making some articles difficult to understand, it is still not a big challenge for Zhou Yang.
Starting work at 12 noon, Zhou Yang had already translated half of the work by 3:30 pm.
There are sixty or seventy pages of letter paper filled with the translation, and it is estimated to be more than 10,000 words.
Zhou Yang is still very satisfied with his working speed.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
On the one hand, the job of translation tests foreign language proficiency; on the other hand, it also stresses Chinese language proficiency and writing speed.
But for Zhou Yang, none of this is a problem!
Master-level English proficiency, expert-level literary literacy and the speed of a stenographer made Zhou Yang a duck to water when translating works.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, before the bookstore closed, Zhou Yang had also completed his first translation work.
When he handed the translated manuscript to Lao Xu, the bald middle-aged man was completely numb!
It was not that he had never seen a high-level translator, but this was the first time he had seen someone who could translate a magazine in just one afternoon.
And he took a look and found that the accuracy of Zhou Yang's translation was very high.
Fast speed and high accuracy, aren't these the talents they need!
Shocked, he decided to send the translation to the province overnight for proofreading and review, and reported Zhou Yang to the relevant departments to become their focus.
There is no way, there is really a shortage of high-level translators now. Every one of them is a national treasure and cannot be neglected.
Zhou Yang didn't expect that his amazing performance would attract Lao Xu's attention. At this time, he was thinking about what to do next!
Hearing the "gurgling" protest in his stomach, Zhou Yang remembered that he had not eaten for almost a day, and immediately decided to calm his stomach first.
Opposite Xinhua Bookstore is a state-owned hotel, and the smell of rice from a distance reached Zhou Yang's nose.
After saying hello to Lao Xu, Zhou Yang left the bookstore with a journal.
When we arrived at the state-owned hotel, it was dinner time and there were quite a few people coming and going.
Looking at the large chunks of roasted meat in the kitchen, the glutton in Zhou Yang's stomach couldn't help but be aroused.
In the past two days, every day at home was either wild vegetable steamed buns or potato porridge. Zhou Yang almost vomited from the healthy meals. Now that he saw the meat, Zhou Yang's eyes couldn't help but straighten.
But when I think about my wife and children at home eating chaffy vegetables, and myself going to restaurants to feast on meat and fish, I feel very unhuman.
Even if you really want to eat it, you have to buy it back and eat it with Li Youwei and Baoer!
After thinking again and again, Zhou Yang reluctantly moved his eyes away from the roasted meat, and then ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup.
Although it is just a bowl of plain noodles, it is still rare and delicious compared to the coarse grains and wild vegetables in the countryside.
In addition, he had been hungry all day and his chest was pressed against his back. Zhou Yang ate all the soup and water in one breath.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him!
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed beside the bed, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. Provide you with the rebirth of the master Dashang Yue 1975: tearing up the return to the city transfer order at the beginning
