Many, many times, many, many times,
The reality gap is caused by your own gap.
Of course you from a famous university can go to all over the world, but if you don't know anything, you may not be able to get out of this mountain.
Money, status, connections, reputation, rights, knowledge, family and friends, and countless other things form the foundation that supports your life in this world and determine the height you stand on.
What was London to Fangran before?
Probably Big Ben, the streets of England, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the British Museum, the Lanthol Building in the Financial City that he regarded as a 'trap', his debut match in the Night Fight World and a
A stage for super battles.
But after arriving in this kind of city in person, I suddenly found that it is, for me,
It's the pound, it's the supermarket, it's the streets that only move in a few blocks, it's the remote rooftops where you temporarily settle down.
It was a huge maze of streets full of English and people speaking a language he could barely understand.
Wrapping up a blanket on the rooftop at night, Fangran looked at London in the distance. In the simulated scene, he could easily cross a distance of several thousand meters and soar to an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, with buildings one after another passing between them.
fell in the aftermath of the battle, and the entire city became their battlefield.
But now it takes him more than an hour to walk from where he sleeps to the supermarket.
London suddenly became bigger.
... dyi yyi have ... membership card? ...
Three dollars, four, five, two, three, four, sixteen, eighteen...Total, no, the tyital is...well...that...nieen and pyiunds and eighty pence...
...have tenty pyiunds fryim yyiu...
Find you two .., tenty pence ... is Yyiur Change, Here Yyiu Are.
At the exit of the supermarket in Stratford, next to the checkout counter, I quickly scanned the barcode of the product, and quickly tapped out a bunch of numbers with my fingers to add them up. In contrast to the action of quickly tearing off the receipt, I spoke slightly.
jerky spoken language,
Fangran quickly put the salmon, pork, beef and various vegetables bought by the lady in front of him into a bag and handed it to her along with the change.
London time, 5:30 pm.
It was the time when most people got off work, and it was also the time when there were the most people in the supermarket. At this moment, Fang Ran and Tang Bing were standing back to back, handling the long queue of customers waiting to check out.
yih,petent byiy.
The service that didn't take long made the blond housewife in front of me exclaim in surprise, and then left with satisfaction while carrying her bag.
But to be honest, Fangran responded politely with a smile
I actually didn't understand what she said.
In the afternoon when he had nothing to do, he had already learned from Tang Bing how to check out customers and some simple cashier terms. Fangran, who officially started working, unexpectedly discovered that dealing with people was not as difficult as he thought.
The main reason is that he found that in London, England, the spoken English spoken by foreigners is also some simple sentences and basic vocabulary for middle and high school, which are not as complex and complicated as his cute and charming CET-4 English.
Of course, when the other party speaks too fast and uses words that are beyond the junior high school level, he should just be confused or confused...
However, this is not important!
In order to thoroughly implement the principle that Tang Bing rolled his eyes and taught him in the afternoon, "You don't care what others say, just settle the accounts." Fangran felt that in just half an hour of work,
I have become very proficient in using phrases such as ‘Do you have a membership card?’ ‘How much is the total’, ‘How much will I charge you’, ‘How much will I find you’?
I feel my rapid growth in a pure English environment.
Is this the impact of the environment...
Am I actually very talented in English...?
Senior, please stop dreaming! What on earth could your construction site English give you such an illusion!
Then just when Fang Ran was in a daze and murmuring these words, he was immediately met with Tang Bing behind him, who had a look of panic and collapse, and then he was so busy that he lost his virginity with blank eyes... Bah! He Shen said:
Can you speed up when you have time to talk in your sleep? There will be more and more people in a while!
But I seem to be faster than you.
hat!!!∑ノ!?
Supermarket cashiering is actually a very simple job. It mainly requires quick hands and accurate calculation of money. After spending more than ten minutes getting used to it, Fangran soon discovered that he seemed to be quite good at it.
Well, after all, simple mathematics such as accounting and pricing were something that was done before high school. Fang Ran was quite good at everything he learned before high school, not to mention that the reflexes of the participants were more than enough to handle collecting money and settling accounts.
Then Fangran slowly discovered on the way...
British people are really bad at math (covering face and laughing).
After a lady in her thirties bought 17 pounds and 47 pence, she took the 2 pounds and 53 pence that Fangran gave him in change and counted it beside her for about half a minute.
Fang Ran, who was busy counting next to her, had his eyes wide open and doubted life, thinking that he might have made a mistake in his calculations before he finally nodded and left with confidence.
And then there is the other thing, when he saw the fraction of 10p, 20p, and 1 pound, he completely subconsciously tried to use his own English that was mixed with pickles, and said, "dyi", "yyiu", just "hava", so I can ask you for help.
'After such words,
Often more than half of the people will be stunned, and then ask in a very confused tone:
ha?hy?
To be honest, when I heard this hyphen for the first time, Fangran was speechless and wondered if their elementary school mathematics was taught by their physical education teacher.
It turns out that the school girl was not a hacker of British mathematics before (sweat)...
In fact, as Fangran saw, supermarket cashiers in the UK, in addition to sitting down to work, are often very stubborn and ask you for a lot of coins. In China, there are aunties filling egg cakes on the roadside.
You can’t see the principles of finding money that you are used to here.
Perhaps it is because the language cannot be as concise and concise as Chinese. There has never been anything like Xiao Jiujiu before. The ordinary British people are really poor in mathematics. Regardless of whether the widely circulated former Prime Minister and Secretary of Education really cannot answer 9x8 and
11x12 this kind of problem,
However, previous reports show that due to insufficient mathematical skills, the UK loses more than 20 billion pounds every year, which is estimated to account for 1.3 of GDP. Even if calculated according to the most conservative method, the loss is still as high as 6.7 billion pounds, accounting for 0.4 of GDP.
But what is amazing is that the highest award in mathematics, the Fields Medal, has been won by 7 people from the UK, second only to France and the United States. For the Nobel Prize in science, 69 people from the UK have won it, ranking second in the world. What do you think?
You are familiar with Newton, but you are not familiar with Bertrand Russell, Alan Turing, and Isaac Barrow, all of whom are British.
But aside from these things, there are not many people in the supermarket during this off-duty period, perhaps because the settlement is quick and there are not many coins.
Fangran looked at him and Tang Bing standing in a queue of a fixed length at the checkout, and rolled his eyes speechlessly. He finally understood why Tang Bing said before that he was willing to recruit Chinese students here to work.
The eldest sister over there, you are so slow. If you were in our country, you would have lost your job early!
I don’t know if I have used too much. Fangran, who was still complaining while checking out the cash, tore off the receipt as usual and was about to put everything into the bag.
The woman in front of her suddenly shouted angrily, stopping Fangran's movement and pointing at the salmon, vegetables, fruits and bread jam she bought.
He said something rudely that Fangran couldn't quite understand.
Fangran: en.....
Glancing at this old woman who was dressed rather smugly, Baby Fangran pondered for a second, and then recalled the last thing his attentive schoolgirl emphasized to him before starting his part-time job.
'Ah, that's right, senior, ordinary customers won't say much to you. If you accidentally meet a picky customer, don't speak in your construction site English!'
#)Hmph~(Pinching my waist and not happy.jpg)
Hitting the schoolgirl behind him with his elbow, Fangran rolled his eyes in a low voice and said:
Hey, schoolgirl, schoolgirl, switch sides, the idea here is a bit tricky.
Fangran was deeply struck by Fangran's efficiency because he had been working here for a month and hadn't even started his first day of construction site English yet. Tang Bing, who was concentrating on this, was stunned when he heard these words and made a confused sound.
ha!?
Hurry! Hurry, I need to put my salmon and beef into separate bags, and then the vegetables and bananas are also separated from the others....
Ah ah ah, it’s coming, I’m sorry, I’ll pack it up for you right now.
Then, when the demanding old woman was clamoring for various demands again and hurriedly stepped forward to respond, Tang Bing heard Fang Ran, who had switched to his side and was still faster than him, cheering for him in a low voice.
Come on! School girl! Give her some cyilyir see see!
God damn give her some cyilyir see see!
Senior, is your construction site English loose?
Chapter completed!
