The two chatted and soon found a feeling of sympathy for each other.
Yang Kai stood up, walked to Gao Fan, and leaned over to see what Gao Fan had translated. He was shocked when he saw that Gao Fan had translated several pages without him knowing it.
Yang Kai didn't have time to check with the original text to see if there were translation errors in the content, but the professional feel of the translation and the smoothness of the writing were enough to make Yang Kai himself ashamed.
"Junior brother, are you here to play tricks on your senior brother?"
Yang Kai asked with a grimace while holding a few pages that Gao Fan had translated.
"Senior brother, why did you say this?" Gao Fan asked with a smile.
Yang Kai said: "Your translation skills are much better than mine. I understand, Grandma Zheng didn't ask you to take the exam, she asked you to mess with me."
"Senior brother, that's an award. In fact, my English is a little better, so it's not difficult for me to read articles like this."
"This is not just a question of good English, there is also professional knowledge in it. As for the paragraph you translated, I find it difficult to understand your Chinese, but you can actually translate it from English. Alas, it seems like a wave behind the Yangtze River.
Push forward the wave."
"Senior brother, don't you think you missed something?"
"What sentence was missed?"
"The former wave died on the beach."
"Is there such a thing?"
Yang Kai looked like he had discovered a new world.
Gao Fan was relieved. Senior Brother Yang didn't know this story, so it seemed that he was not a time traveler.
"Xiao Yang! How's it going here?"
Zheng Xiuhua opened the door and came in.
"Hey, Sister Zheng, you're here, please take a seat!"
Yang Kai came forward with a smile on his face and made a gesture of helping him with his hands. Zheng Xiuhua smiled and gave him a slap in the face, scolding: "No big or small, sister Zheng, don't think I don't know you are here
What are you calling me behind my back?"
"No way, that's just nonsense. I have always respected Sister Zheng very much." Yang Kai said with a smile, obviously he was used to playing with Zheng Xiuhua.
Zheng Xiuhua sat down, pointed at Gao Fan who stood up, and asked Yang Kai: "Xiao Yang, have you passed his exam and how is the situation?"
"Sister Zheng, did you ask him to destroy me?" Yang Kai pretended to be pitiful, and at the same time handed over a few pages of manuscript paper that Gao Fan had just translated, and said:
"I just selected two very professional English papers for him to translate, but he translated them without even translating them into a dictionary. The translation was better than mine."
"Is there such a thing?" Zheng Xiuhua was stunned.
She took the manuscript paper handed to her by Yang Kai, looked at it roughly, nodded and said: "Not bad, the handwriting is good, and the writing style is also very good."
She graduated from high school and worked as an academic secretary in the Department of Chemistry, so she has no professional foundation. However, after all, she has been in college for more than 20 years and cannot read articles. She can at least infer a student's ability through fonts and writing style.
.
Yang Kai said that Gao Fan translated just a few pages of the article without the help of a dictionary. There were no traces of alterations in the translation and the sentences were very fluent, which is very revealing.
Also, although Yang Kai is a bit glib and likes to tease her, an old lady, he has some arrogance in his heart. If Gao Fan didn't have a few brushes, Yang Kai would never praise her like this in front of her.
"Not bad, Xiao Gao." Zheng Xiuhua's face instantly became prettier, from a dark-faced nun to a round-faced young lady.
She pointed to the stool next to her and said, "Xiao Gao, sit down and talk, you don't have to be so formal."
"Thank you, Sister Zheng." Gao Fan sat down and imitated Yang Kai's accent, flattering Zheng Xiuhua.
In fact, without Yang Kai's demonstration, Gao Fan also knew how to deal with the aunts in the work unit. In his previous life, when he was in the Processing Institute, Gao Fan also complimented the women in the institute who were in their forties and fifties in this way.
Those aunts say that they are old enough to be Gao Fan's aunt, but the title "sister" is still extremely useful.
Oh, woman...
Zheng Xiuhua did the same thing. When she heard Gao Fan's words, her face lit up with joy, but she pretended to be angry and glared at Gao Fan, and then said angrily to Yang Kai: "Look, Xiao Yang, you brought it all."
The bad guy has ruined Xiao Gao."
"Sister Zheng is always 20 years old. This is recognized by the whole department." Yang Kai said.
"By the way, Xiao Gao, you haven't said yet, when did you learn the university courses by yourself, and your English is so good, which is rare." Zheng Xiuhua changed the subject and asked Gao Fan.
Gao Fan said: "Actually, my father studied chemical engineering and was assigned to work in a fertilizer factory after graduating from college. I grew up in a fertilizer factory.
"When I was a child, I didn't have any other hobbies. I just liked reading. I read through my father's college textbooks and the chemical engineering magazines in our factory's reference room.
"I couldn't understand it at first, but I gradually understood it. By the way, there is a very powerful engineer in our factory who is an aunt and has a very good relationship with my mother. My sister and I often go to her place to play.
She also taught me a lot.”
Gao Fan's lies came out of his mouth, and when he was making up a story, he unconsciously included Xia Shihui's childhood experiences.
When talking about Zhou Xiaoyun, Gao Fan thought about it and suddenly remembered that Zhou Xiaoyun should be in Beijing at this time. She was transferred to the National Chemical Design Institute by the Ministry of Chemical Industry to work on the design of small ammonium fertilizers to change urine. He had been in Beijing for two weeks, and unexpectedly
I didn't expect to go and visit her.
"It's amazing. Xiao Yang, I think Xiao Gao is better than you. You only applied for exemption when you were a sophomore." Zheng Xiuhua said, and by the way, she insulted Yang Kai, maybe because she was afraid that he would be proud.
Yang Kai sighed and said: "Oh, old man. The waves from behind in the Yangtze River push the waves in front. I, the wave in front, can only die on the beach."
"What are you talking about?" Zheng Xiuhua was amused by this joke that was passed down from generation to generation. She said, "You, Xiao Yang, are still talking about being old. What should I do? There are also Professor Luo, Professor Ma and Professor Niu from our department. They can
They are all old and strong, saying that they want to regain the time that was wasted."
"Yes, Professor Luo's work enthusiasm makes us young people feel ashamed." Yang Kai said. When he said this, there was no ridicule on his face. The emotion came from his heart.
"That's right." Zheng Xiuhua said, "Look, old professors in their 60s are afraid of wasting their time. What reason do you young people have to wander around all day long?
"Especially you, Xiao Gao, you want to skip classes when you first go to college. You don't want to go to class because you have learned a little knowledge in the past. Is this appropriate for you?"
"Well……"
Gao Fan was dumbfounded, why did the conversation turn to him again? He had clearly passed Yang Kai's exam, shouldn't Sister Zheng want to introduce her unborn granddaughter to her?
