He picked up the noodles and fed them to her, "Be good, eat first, and I'll tell you when I'm done."
His tone seemed to be coaxing a child. In his eyes, she was a willful, awkward, and strong child.
She was very angry, really really angry, so she bit... the back of his hand.
He didn't cry out in pain, but laughed.
His smile had no sound, only his eyes were smiling, like bright stars in the sky.
His smile made her even angrier. He made her look more childish, like a little girl making trouble unreasonably, but then again, she was indeed making trouble unreasonably.
But, she likes it!
"You tell me first, and then I eat!" She still insisted.
He refused to compromise, "It won't taste good if it's cold."
Although it's not a delicacy, he made it specially for her, and he wanted her to taste the best.
The two were in a stalemate and finally decided: he would say something and she would take a bite.
She lowered her head and rolled a mouthful of noodles into her mouth.
The taste is very... strange.
Yes, strange.
Growing up, she tasted countless masterpieces from the world's top chefs. At the age of three, she began traveling around the world with her father, or attending various celebrity banquets with her mother. She ate not only the delicacies of mountains and seas, but also the colors of a country.
, a city full of beauty, but she felt that the taste of this noodle was the most unique among the food she had ever eaten.
Is it delicious? I can't say, but... I really want to eat it.
In her opinion, gourmets eat and translators learn languages for the same reason. They both interpret the taste through their lips and tongue. A good translator not only translates one language into another language, but also translates it.
The artistic conception is like a gourmet eating, not just to fill his stomach.
"The three times we met, I was always working as a waiter. Do you know why?" He said slowly.
"For money." She was very direct.
And he didn’t deny it, “Of course it’s for money.”
"But there are many ways to make money." Even though she is a carefree young lady, she also knows that there is more than just one kind of job in the world: waitressing.
He remained silent, picked up another mouthful of noodles and fed it to her.
Through the hot mist, she saw his deep eyes with perseverance.
She had no choice but to take another bite.
“The most important thing in learning a language is context, right?”
"Of course." She understood somewhat. He didn't have a proud family background, so he couldn't enter the celebrity business circle, but the celebrity business circle was the most training for people. During the dinner, they drank wine and talked and laughed happily. Although sometimes they were hypocritical, they seemed to be superficial.
Work hard enough.
In such an environment, a person's reaction ability is most tested, because if you are not careful, your weaknesses will be exposed, so you must be fast, ruthless, and accurate!
This is the same as the requirements for being a translator. The best translators are doing simultaneous interpretation, which is a kind of interpreter who can continuously interpret the content of the speaker's speech to the audience without interrupting his speech.
Interpretation method.
The average time between translation of the original text and the target text is three to four seconds, up to ten seconds, to ensure that the speaker can speak coherently.
Simultaneous interpretation requires speed, ruthlessness and accuracy!
"In nightclubs or high-society banquets, there are often foreigners who can train my hearing." He explained calmly.
She understands that, unlike foreign teachers, it is the most authentic way of expression.
