Chapter 542: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
In fact, high-amount scholarships are not uncommon in colleges and universities. Generally, schools themselves do not set up higher-amount scholarships. Under normal circumstances, high-amount scholarships come from personal donations.
Today, the highest single scholarship among colleges and universities in the country is the Shanghai Jiaotong University. On their 120th anniversary, outstanding alumni Wu Jialin and his wife Lin Yueying donated 100 million Huaxia coins to initiate the establishment of the "Modu Jiaotong University Inclusive...
Education Development Fund" implements the "Siyuan Innovative Talent Training Plan", which is referred to as the Siyuan Plan.
In this plan, the school creates a "Siyuan" class with only 45 students. Every student in this class has a scholarship, the lowest is 60,000 for four years, and the highest is 420,000 for four years.
On average, you can get a scholarship of at least 15,000 yuan a year.
But if we really want to compare, students from Shizhong College can receive up to 150,000 scholarships for four years, which is not a small amount.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to reach this number. But even if this number is not reached, the scholarship of tens of thousands in four years is still considerable.
The name Shizhong College was not decided by Zhang Chongqi but after discussions between the leaders of Jiangyang University and Jinling University.
When deciding on the name, they asked Zhang Zhong for his opinion. After hearing the name Shizhong, Zhang Zhong thought it was good and expressed no objection.
The two words "Shizhong" are taken from the "Shizhong" chapter of Chapter 2 of the Doctrine of the Mean.
"A gentleman is moderate, and a gentleman is moderate from time to time. A villain is moderate, and a villain has nothing to fear."
The meaning of this sentence is that the reason why a gentleman can be moderate is because he can stick to the mean and never go beyond the point of failure. Compared with the villain who is unscrupulous, the gentleman abides by the morality in his heart and always uses the most appropriate way to do things.
middle way.
No need for Liu Hong and others to explain, Zhang Zhong also understood why they chose such a name. It should be that they hope that students can be like gentlemen and "come in from time to time". Anyone can write moral articles, but being a human being is not a simple matter. Students
When we enter the academy, the first thing we need to do is to learn to be a human being, then learn to do things, and finally learn to do knowledge.
The school has a school motto, and the middle school also has a college motto, which is exactly the paragraph in Chapter 2 of Doctrine of the Mean.
The motto of the college will be written by Zhang Zhong himself, and then someone will be asked to engrave it in the college as a warning to the students.
…
Zhang Zhong is currently writing the college motto at home. In order to ensure that it is not distorted when engraving, Zhang Zhong found a larger piece of paper and tried to express the details of every word.
After writing this four times in one breath, Zhang Zhong stopped.
After he finished writing, he looked at it himself, and then cut off the last three times with a paper knife, leaving only the cursive writing on the far right, because after looking at it, he still felt that the first time was better.
He picked it up and looked at it, feeling quite satisfied with it.
"Dad, what are you writing?"
Zhang Zhong turned around and saw Peng Peng standing at the door holding a picture frame and looking at him playfully. In fact, Peng Peng had been here several times before, but when he saw his father writing seriously, he didn't bother him. This time
When I came to see that my father seemed to have finished writing, I spoke.
"Dad, let me write this for you guys to see. Is that your painting in your hand?" Zhang Zhong didn't know what was inside the frame because he only saw the back of the frame.
Pengpeng walked over with a smile, turned the picture frame over, and said, "Dad, look."
Zhang Zhong looked at the painting carefully. It was a sketch, and there was a person drawn in it - it should be a human being.
Why is it said that it should be a human? Because Zhang Zhong is not sure. Although the thing painted on it also has a nose and eyes, the facial lines are exaggerated and there are many shadows. The eyes are like copper bells and the nose is like a tower.
"The person you drew - isn't dad?" Zhang Zhong asked in a low voice, does he have such a surly image in his daughter's mind?
"Of course not, this is grandpa."
Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes, that's not much better.
"Your grandpa looks like this."
"Grandpa looks like this." Pengpeng said firmly, "I have drawn grandpa now, and next I will start to draw grandma. I will wait until I have finished drawing grandpa and grandma, and then I will draw it for you. Dad, don't be impatient."
Zhang Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth, "Daughter, let's not be in a hurry. The matter of painting my portrait can wait a little longer."
"Did you show your grandfather this painting?"
Pengpeng shook his head, "Not yet."
"Then don't show it to him yet."
"Why?"
"Because when you can finish drawing our portraits and show them to them, it will be a surprise, you know?"
"Oh, I understand. Then wait until I finish the painting before showing it to grandpa. Dad, please hide this painting first so that grandpa doesn't see it."
"Well, I will hide it for you." Zhang Zhong smiled and took the painting. He thought that Pengpeng had better forget about it these days, otherwise her grandfather would probably beat her, an unfilial grandson, when he saw the painting.
"Be sure to hide it for me. I will come and get it after I finish painting you and grandma."
"Don't worry."
"Then I'll go back."
"Um."
After Pengpeng left, Zhang Zhong put the picture frame on the bookshelf. After thinking about it, he changed it and hid the front side. His father would occasionally come to the study to look for him, just because he was afraid that he would ask if he saw it later.
He couldn't answer anything.
After putting away the paintings, Zhang Zhong also put away the college motto he had written before, and went back to find a mason to help carve it out.
Then he walked to the desk where the computer was placed, sat down, turned on the computer, and got ready to work.
Just this morning, he drew another prize. He didn't win "Death Eternal", but he did win another good work - Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
This is Verne's masterpiece and a very important work in the science fiction world. On earth, its historical significance has exceeded itself.
Of course, this does not mean that this novel is limited by the times and is no longer outstanding in modern times. In fact, even if times have changed, the classic work is still very exciting.
Speaking of this novel, we naturally have to talk about its creator Verne.
Verne was a Frenchman who was born in the 1820s. He came from a wealthy family and studied law.
However, he did not engage in law-related industries after that, but began to write scripts and submit articles to magazines.
His works have been translated into many other languages. According to statistics, Verne is the writer with the second most translated works in the world, and the first is Agatha Christie.
Now Zhang Zhong has gathered together the first and second writers whose works have been translated, but he probably has no choice in the third place, because the third place is Shakespeare, and it is estimated that even if Zhang Zhong draws his works, he will not
published.
There are nearly 5,000 translations of Verne's works. Zhang Zhong still has some way to go to reach this figure, but as time goes by, he should be able to reach it within a few years.
As for the origin of the name Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, it does not refer to the place 20,000 miles deep under the sea, but the Nautilus sailed 20,000 miles in the sea in the book.
And this "li" is actually an ancient length standard, which is called "lige" in Chinese. When converted, it is about three miles, close to five kilometers.
Therefore, some translations translate it as "Sixty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", or simply "Adventures under the Sea".
However, after sifting through time, it was the translation of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" that left a deep impression on people.
When Zhang Zhong was writing, he also thought playfully whether he should change it to "two hundred thousand miles under the sea". After all, according to the Chinese mile, it is indeed close to two hundred thousand miles.
