Everyone sighed in surprise, and even Guan Shouheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Are you sure you can do it?" He asked more worriedly.
Mint had already prepared, but she didn't know how she would perform on the spot. But now, she could no longer afford to hesitate.
"I'm sure!" she said bravely.
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Guan Shouheng's jaw twitched and he looked at the time again. There were only two minutes left. Although the office was in the same building, it was still too late to go back and type out another document. This was the only way!
His dark eyes narrowed and his gaze was blazing, "You should know the importance of this meeting. If you unfortunately make a mistake, then... starting from tomorrow, you don't have to come to work again!"
Mint's heartstrings tightened, and she understood. Of course she understood this. The expo could not tolerate any flaws, let alone major mistakes.
"I know Mr. Guan, I will try my best to do a good job!" she promised.
But he was still dissatisfied and said sternly, "Effort is not just a matter of words!"
His voice made the whole audience stand in awe, and everyone felt his displeasure and even anger.
Mint bit her lip subconsciously, her face turning pale.
No one dared to plead for her, on the contrary, everyone still avoided it.
Guan Shouheng was silent for a second, then turned to the others and said, "You go in first!"
"Yes." Everyone left in a hurry, no one wanted to harm the fish in the fish pond.
There were only two of them left in the huge corridor. Each "box" was closed and the sound insulation effect was very good, so others could not hear what they said, but each "box" was transparent, and their every move could be heard by others.
I can still see clearly.
Fang Yuan and everyone else were secretly looking at him.
Guan Shouheng's face was expressionless, as if he didn't see anything, but his black eyes were extremely deep.
After thinking for half a second, he raised his chin and motioned for her to turn around and stand.
Mint moved awkwardly and stood facing the "box".
As soon as she turned around, everyone in the "box" all lowered their heads as if they were guilty.
Guan Shouheng also moved, but he was approaching her step by step, his tall body like a black shadow, gradually covering her.
"..." Mint subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he couldn't. His legs were numb, so he endured the embarrassment in his heart and stood frozen in place.
Until he came very close and stood directly in front of her.
The feeling between the two is like a student who has done something wrong and has to face punishment from the teacher.
Mint held her breath subconsciously, feeling very cramped, her eyes flashed unconsciously, and suddenly she didn't know where to look. In the end, she had to lower her head and look at the toes of his shoes.
She didn't notice how beneficial the two people's current positions were.
His tall body and broad shoulders completely blocked her, cutting off everyone's sight except his.
Guan Shouheng's black eyes were as bright as a torch and he commanded in a deep voice, "Look at me!"
Mint's heart trembled, and she had no choice but to raise her head and look at his stern face.
He was twenty centimeters taller than her, so she had to look up. The angle at which she looked up made her look even smaller.
In a daze, he bowed his head slightly and locked his eyes tightly with her. The gaze in his eyes seemed to be magnetic, pulling her tightly.
"Are you ready?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Ready!" She replied firmly, but her too fast speaking speed revealed a trace of nervousness in her heart.
He frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied, and his jaw also curled up in an unhappy arc, "Since you are ready, what is there to be nervous about? I still say the same thing, if you don't believe in yourself, then
Others can’t believe you! Do you understand?”
Mint clenched his fist vigorously, "I understand!"
"Just understand." Guan Shouheng finally nodded, his expression as calm as ever, and his voice still unhurried, "Also, you have to remember one thing, I was the one who recruited you in the first place, so your performance is also related to me.
The way you look at people, I hope you won’t disappoint me!”
How does he look at people?
Mint subconsciously widened his eyes with a confused expression.
Somehow, I suddenly had the illusion that there was something in his words?
Her uncertain and helpless look irritated the man's eyes even more. Guan Shouheng lowered his head a little lower, and even lower, his tall nose seemed to be close to touching her.
Mint's heartbeat accelerated instantly and became uncontrollably faster.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, his pupils narrowed, and he found that his eyes were deep and black, and his eyelashes were long and dense.
His breath was slightly warm, giving people a warm feeling and inexplicable peace of mind.
Oh, stop!
But, what time is it now, why is she still thinking about what is there and what is not?
Forcibly pulling back his racing thoughts, Mint held his breath and waited for his next words.
Seeing her reserved look, Guan Shouheng smiled faintly and said quietly, "When you translated for Mr. Lewis before, you mainly translated from Chinese to French. Today your task is to translate from French to Chinese. It should be easier.
, since you are ready, that information is dispensable, I believe you can complete the task well!"
Does he believe her?
Mint felt her heartstrings tremble again, and she felt a sudden joy in her heart, as if... she felt more confident.
Even though she was still in the same posture, her height couldn't grow instantly, but she seemed to feel that she was suddenly much taller.
"Yes, please rest assured, Mr. Guan, I will definitely perform well!" Mint promised again, and this time, he was truly confident.
Looking at her confident look, Guan Shouheng's expression did not change, but the smile in his eyes came from within.
Her beautiful face bloomed like a flower, and her eyes shone like stars in the sky.
His head was lowered, and their lips were very close.
Mint's eyes widened suddenly, not even daring to blink her eyelashes, as his indifferent handsome face came into view in her eyes.
My heart beats like thunder!
"..." Her heart that had just settled down felt anxious again. She subconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, too nervous to speak.
Guan Shouheng's black eyes tightened and he said quietly, "It's almost time, we should go in."
His breath was calm and his voice was calm.
Mint's mood was like a balloon that exploded with a "pop".
I felt a lot more relaxed, but I felt an inexplicable emptiness.
"Yes." She hugged the only information in her arms and ran quickly into the "box" as if someone was chasing her.
But Guan Shouheng did not move, still maintaining his original posture, standing with his back to the "box", his expression hidden where no one could see, a gleam of light slipped through his black eyes, and a trace of water that no one could detect.
General gentleness.
There is a kind of love called reluctance; there is a kind of emotion called missing; there is a kind of power called protection.
Mint rushed into the "box" where the French group was located. After sitting down, she was still frightened and annoyed.
She thought he wanted that or something...
Oh, Mint, that's enough! Stop thinking about it!
"Come on! You must perform well!" She told herself secretly and clenched her fist vigorously.
On the side, Fang Yuan looked over sideways, Mint pretended to turn a blind eye and put on her black headphones.
The media meeting began soon. The leaders took their seats on the stage. The venue, which can accommodate 2,000 people, was full. Everyone had an earphone at their seat. Through the earphone, they could freely switch channels and receive the information in the "box".
The translation voice of the simultaneous interpreter.
The host's opening remarks slowly sounded, and the venue burst into applause.
Logically speaking, Mint should start working as soon as the meeting begins, but she is a little different from other translators. Firstly, it is because of her lower qualifications and experience, and secondly, Mr. Lewis designated her to be his only one.
She has an exclusive translator, so she only needs to be responsible for Mr. Louis for this meeting, so she doesn't have to speak before he speaks.
In this way, her work tasks are actually much lighter than others, so she cannot make mistakes. If she can't do it well even this time, let alone others, she herself will not forgive herself.
There were a total of three people in the "box" of the French group. Apart from her, they were Team Leader Li and Fang Yuan. As soon as the microphones of the two people were turned on, they all spoke in perfect order.
The two of them also have a division of labor. Team leader Li is responsible for the Chinese translation, and Fang Yuan is responsible for the French translation.
According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, Mr. Louis of France was the last to speak among the three countries, so Mint's work can be postponed. However, this does not mean that it is enough to just sit in, but it means that you must concentrate on feeling the atmosphere of the scene in order to do something for yourself later.
Prepare.
At this media meeting, the speakers are mainly from China, France and Germany, but this does not mean that only these three languages need to be translated at the scene, because there are as many as 2,000 participants, from various countries and regions around the world, and English
First of all, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, etc. are also indispensable.
At the meeting that day, there were only two groups, the French group and the German group. Mint felt overwhelmed and under great pressure, so it was really hard for her to imagine how Guan Shouheng, as the general person in charge of the language center, could coordinate so many things.
Languages spoken by so many people.
There are many channels. At the beginning of the conference, the translators in each "box" seemed to have turned on a switch, and all of them were full of witty remarks.
Everyone here is a senior translator, and each one is carefully selected. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare, so listening to their translation is a beautiful enjoyment.
English, Japanese, German, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, French... Each language occupies a channel, working in groups of two or three, working vertically and horizontally, alternating and orderly.
Of course, there were many channel choices, but Mint did not hesitate to switch the earphones to the German channel. Guan Shouheng's calm and fluent voice came slowly, elegant and low, like a clear spring, slowly pouring into his heart.
The "boxes" of various languages were arranged in the character "one", so she couldn't see what was going on in the German group's "box", but just by listening, she could imagine how professional and high-spirited he was.
, how calm and unrestrained.
Enthusiasm, restraint, cooperation, conspiracy, self-confidence, humility, collaboration, business structure, world situation... all changed in his words.
No one needs to see him, his voice is enough to convince people.
Mint listened attentively, raising the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and his eyes were full of only him.
Listening to his voice, she couldn't help but think of the time when they were studying together in the small attic. During that time of youthful rush, she met him. It was great. They had the same temperament, which was great. They were equally innocent, which was great.
.
From the day she met him, the legend in her life began. There was no need for anything special, no gorgeous fireworks, no bright stars, no jade-like full moon. They just held hands and it was wonderful.
Although time has changed now, at this moment, she seems to have returned to the original time, following his footsteps, reading his books, and writing his handwriting... It turns out that the madness of love is not to imitate the other person, but to imitate.
Not aware of it.
The meeting continued and everything went smoothly.
Finally, it was Mr. Lewis's turn to speak.
Mint was already prepared, and before he could speak, she was ready.
Because the spokesperson's manuscripts are confidential and for security reasons, even the translators cannot get them in advance. Therefore, the translators must be fully prepared before entering the venue. The more information, the better, and the more comprehensive the better, because
They don't know what the speaker will say, but no matter what they say, the simultaneous interpreters must translate it quickly and fluently.
Of course Mint is no exception, so she prepared a lot of information in advance, and every piece of information may be used. But because of this, someone deliberately designed her to take away her relatively more important piece of law.
Translation information from Chinese to Chinese, because her task today is to translate from French to Chinese. Without such a most intuitive information, she is likely to make mistakes.
However, after the last time she got the tax rate wrong, she was already on guard, so she was extra careful when preparing information. The computer in the office was no longer so secure. Although she changed her password every day, she still didn't dare
It is guaranteed to be foolproof, but what she can be sure of is that if it is something stored in her brain, no one can take it away!
It doesn’t matter if there is no information, she can just memorize it!
For this media meeting, she really went all out. She worked overtime at her home until midnight every night, eating, walking, and taking a shower. Especially the missing French-Chinese document, she almost
You can recite it backwards and forwards.
In addition, she secretly copied Guan Shouheng's notes, and she benefited a lot from it. She knew what should be paid attention to when doing simultaneous interpretation. The most taboo thing was to make mistakes due to nervousness before the meeting.
According to his experience, as long as a person enters the "box", he must abandon everything before and focus all his energy on the spokesperson. He may even turn himself into a spokesperson and merge the minds of two people into one person.
Only in this way can translation be achieved to the highest level.
"Wanshi Expo, as an unofficial, non-profit, regular, addressable, open international conference organization, is based on equality, reciprocity, cooperation and win-win..." Mint listened to Mr. Lewis's speech, and his mind was racing at the same time.
Recall the contents of the materials, word for word, and fluently translate them into Chinese.
At the same time, Guan Shouheng was also doing simultaneous interpretation, just translating Mr. Louis's French into German. However, there were three people in the "box" of the German team. According to the division of labor, he had a brief breather in the middle.
Logically speaking, he should take the opportunity to rest, because the mental activities of simultaneous interpreters are really tiring, and he should close his eyes and rest his mind. However, he could not restrain his inner impulse and resolutely changed the channel.
The gentle yet powerful female voice came slowly, giving people a relaxing and happy feeling.
Not to mention, her fluency was almost beyond his imagination, and every word and every sentence was flawless.
Whether it is speaking speed, sense of language, or accuracy, it can be said to be perfect!
If he wasn't sitting in a "box" and couldn't make a sound, he would really want to applaud her.
This woman was born to do this!
"Independently or cooperatively, we carry out various activities such as conferences and exhibitions, information exchanges, economic assessments, education and training, e-commerce, etc. that help achieve the purpose of the expo..." Mint's status is getting better and better.
Finally, Mr. Lewis's speech ended, and her simultaneous interpretation at this stage was successfully completed.
Mint secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
Next, there will be an on-site question and answer session, but in comparison, it is a small case.
Moreover, there are questions and answers during the question-and-answer session, so she has to cooperate with her colleagues in this area. She still translates Mr. Lewis’s answers. When asking questions, there are many situations. Except for the most common English, if the questioner speaks Chinese
, then Team Leader Li will be responsible for translating the Chinese into French. If the questioner speaks French, then Fang Yuan will be responsible for translating it into Chinese... In short, this is a group cooperation link.
Soon, the first question started. The questioner was Chinese-speaking. Team leader Li effectively translated the question into French. Mr. Louis then answered it, and Mint simultaneously translated his answer into Chinese and interpreted it.
The first question went very smoothly and took a total of two minutes and forty seconds.
The second question, the third question, the fourth question... came one after another.
Perhaps because the speaker was Louis, more of the questioners spoke French, so Fang Yuan had more opportunities to translate. However, she performed very well and translated several questions very well, with the cooperation of Mint.
It's also a tacit understanding.
Mint was secretly grateful. Fortunately, Fang Yuan was not like Qiao Nawei, otherwise she would have been in trouble if she had used tricks at this stage.
However, one really cannot be happy too early. Just when the fifth question came, Fang Yuan suddenly seemed to be exhausted, her brain could not keep up, her speaking speed slowed down obviously, and her voice became smaller and smaller...
Through the headphones, Mint heard obvious agitation in the venue, with participants whispering, coughing, and criticism.
Simultaneous interpretation has this characteristic. If the translator does not do it right, there will be immediate reactions in the venue, which will seriously affect the quality and process of the meeting!
"Through... networked arrangements, we will enhance connections... among business groups in the region..." Fang Yuan's voice started to break.
Mint's breathing suddenly tightened, and he felt his whole head buzzing.
I was shocked, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Team Leader Li's expression also changed, but she didn't know that Fang Yuan did this on purpose. Team Leader Li just took it for granted that Fang Yuan was unwell. After all, she was injured not long ago and has been sick recently.
Keep working.
The pressure at the scene was so great that it was very possible that she would not be able to bear it. Moreover, her previous questions were translated so well, so it was even more impeccable.
Mint suddenly became angry, even more angry than the time when Fang Yuan framed her tax rate, because no matter what happened before, it only affected her alone, but now at the meeting site, Fang Yuan actually did this!
Everyone knows that Fang Yuan was injured, so no one would blame her for her mistakes in the middle, but she is different. If Fang Yuan doesn't complete this level, she won't be able to work in the future!
Mint subconsciously bit her lip, feeling the urge to rush up and argue with Fang Yuan.
However, she couldn't make a sound. This was in the "box". The slightest movement would be a loud noise when it reached the venue. She didn't even dare to grit her teeth!
But is there really nothing she can do? Watch helplessly as the translation is interrupted? The meeting is interrupted?
Although Team Leader Li is worried about Fang Yuan's physical condition, he doesn't care so much anymore. Every second counts in the meeting!
But Team Leader Li was also at a loss because she was in charge of French-Chinese translation during the entire meeting. Once she took over Fang Yuan's task, her own rhythm would be disrupted!
Time was running out, and Mint couldn't do much more. She pressed the phone decisively and took over Fang Yuan's task.
She didn't know if she could do it well, because after she finished translating this, she still had to translate Mr. Louis's answer. What she was about to do was equivalent to a Chinese-French translation!
As far as she knows, in the entire language center, only Guan Shuheng has done this at an international conference! Red envelope presented by eryzdz188]
