In fact, many people can see that Mrs. Ye is just a talker and talks serious nonsense.
But Li Ying originally had a prejudice against him, and every word you said to me felt like tit-for-tat.
The atmosphere was a bit delicate. To outsiders, Mrs. Ye was very embarrassed. Li Ying revealed with just one sentence that he couldn't even tell the difference between Hugo and Shakespeare, and he even used his dog-gnawed English to try to impress the public.
"cough."
Ye Taigan coughed and said: "Young people have little knowledge. I don't blame you. After all, not everyone is as knowledgeable and talented as me. Why are there no poetry conferences in foreign countries? It's just that people who understand Old English are better than those who understand Oracle."
Shao, it is a small group of elites competing with each other, and it is normal for outsiders not to know.
As for "Hamlet", of course I know it is a work by Shakespeare, but Hugo once commented on Hamlet: He is as real as each of us, but he is greater than us. He is a giant, but he is a real person.
Because Hamlet is not you or me, but all of us. Hamlet is not a certain person, but a human being.
I deeply believe it. Shakespeare also said that in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. In this case, why should we care about those disturbances? This work has been immersed in the flesh and blood of every literary scholar in the long river of history.
among.
Instead of dwelling on a slip of the tongue that I made that is not a slip of the tongue, it is better to calm down and appreciate the profound significance of these two literary works.
Free and easy people exchange translations of literary works with others, and when they find errors, they either correct them or laugh them off. Only those who are impatient and have little knowledge will cut out words and criticize fallacies in order to declare their shallow opinions and satisfy themselves.
vanity."
Stupid.
Everyone was stunned.
Those who came to attend the Li family's birthday banquet were not fools, at least they could be considered super nouveau riche. They must have read the book. The difference was just how much.
I had heard of these two masterpieces, but when Mrs. Ye was uncharacteristically speaking, she suddenly quoted scriptures and forcibly rounded off her words.
He also criticized Mr. Li Ying's word-picking behavior in passing, thinking that he was just looking for trouble, and he only wanted to satisfy his humble vanity by unreasonably picking on people after he only knew a little bit about it.
It just makes everyone feel that it seems to make sense!
Li Ying's face was gloomy. He wanted to kill someone. As the son of an underground force, although he had gradually become white in recent years, he had been exposed to it since childhood and had experienced many dark sides.
He didn't like this guy very much when Ye Tai came in, and now that he was scolding him and criticizing him so harshly, it was naturally impossible for Li Ying to greet Ye Tai with a smile.
However, thinking about today, Li Ying still tolerated it for the time being. He sneered and said: "Liang Zi, I have written it down. Brother Fang, after the birthday banquet, I hope to have a good academic discussion with you."
Mrs. Ye waved her hand and said: "It's not a matter of discussion. If you're in the mood, I can just give you a few pointers."
Li Ying's brows jumped. At the other end of the main table, an elder spoke up, waved to this side, and said: "Okay, what academics are you young people discussing? We old people don't understand. When the birthday banquet is over, you guys
Go and communicate by yourself."
"Second uncle."
Li Lingling gave a shy cry, walked over with Mrs. Ye and others, and introduced them to Mrs. Ye one by one. This table was filled with elders of the Li family, and they all gave people the feeling of being in a high position.
However, I didn’t see today’s protagonist, the ninety-year-old Mr. Li.
Perhaps seeing Mrs. Ye's surprise, Li Lingling's second uncle said fairly: "The old man is not in very good health. After all, he is ninety years old. He will not come out until all the guests have arrived. He is still resting now."
Mrs. Ye said noncommittally: "Okay, but in addition to reading literary works from ancient and modern China and abroad, being proficient in twenty-six languages, and having rich artistic accumulation, I also have some research on medical skills. Maybe I can help Mr. Li's condition.
Be busy."
After all, he is Li Lingling's great-great-grandfather. If he likes it later, there will be no problem in Mrs. Ye helping him extend his life for a few years.
The people at the table laughed and didn’t take it seriously. Perhaps they still wanted to try to get under Mrs. Ye’s skin. Li Lingling’s uncle said openly: “We heard just now that you have your own industry in Europe with a market value of hundreds of millions. Lingling has you.
Such a friend is indeed quite lucky. Our Li family only has nine properties with a market value of hundreds of millions. I heard that your business is related to trade. Are you really unwilling to disclose it? Maybe we can have business contacts in the future.
.”
Ye Tai sighed and said sadly: "My small company cannot be compared with a behemoth like the Li family. It would only be embarrassing to mention it, so I'd better not mention it."
"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand, or are you just a liar who can only talk nonsense? You simply don't know how to flatter me."
At the table next to him, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old stared at Mrs. Ye with an unkind expression. He was Li Ying's younger brother Li Liang.
Li Liang was very dissatisfied that his brother had been completely humiliated by Mrs. Ye just now. At this moment, even the old man opened his mouth and wanted to explore Mrs. Ye's background, but this guy was still unmoved.
Market value hundreds of millions?
Multinational trading company?
Even if it is true, in the eyes of the Li family, it is insignificant!
After more than a year of operation, the Li family, as a super behemoth in the country, has accumulated not only wealth, but also social status.
They don't need to take it seriously at all, just a nouveau riche boss who doesn't know the truth.
Not to mention that in terms of wealth alone, Mrs. Ye is absolutely incomparable to the Li family.
The pampered uncle looked calm and said: "Hey, Ah Liang, you can't say that."
In addition, he did not accuse Li Liang of his fault, but showed a trace of displeasure on his face. Indeed, as A Liang said, this person was a bit ignorant of praise.
Or, the so-called multinational trading company is a lie. Otherwise, this should be something to be proud of, so why be so secretive?
Those two gold bricks, in hindsight, need to be appraised by real experts...
It's not that they are greedy for this little money, but they are simply suspicious of Mrs. Ye's identity. Li Lingling and the others cannot cause any trouble at this time.
When Li Liang saw that his great-uncle did not criticize him, he stopped trying to hide it and looked straight at Mrs. Ye, saying: "A liar, what are you pretending to be? Even if the gold brick is real, he might still be the one left by my sister-in-law back then."
"Come down here, if it weren't for a bad day today, I would have fallen out with you a long time ago, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf."
Ye Tai looked around, and there seemed to be no one around. She wanted to really stop Li Liang, but she just stopped briefly and said a few superficial words.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Today was Mr. Li's 90th birthday. If they really took it seriously, would these people let Li Liang use his reputation as a "young man with an angry temper" to point fingers at the guests?
It seems that even if the underground forces are cleansed, they are still fundamentally different from the so-called scholarly family.
Mrs. Ye was keenly aware of the murderous intent revealed in Li Ying's eyebrows just now.
He was curious, this is China in the 21st century, how could someone still want to kill me at every turn?
Ye Tai smiled warmly at Li Liang who stood up and said: "You also know what day it is today. You call me "I" in front of me. It seems that for Lingling's sake, I won't argue with you for the time being. As a profound person,
People who are rich in art and have escaped from vulgar tastes, I always like to convince people with reason, but if you don't know how to speak well, I can teach you."
