Yang Guo was stunned at this. My heart is full of disbelief: Mr. Mo Yan wants to find himself to translate his work "fatigue of life and death", which has won numerous awards? Although this is not his best work, it is also one of the most representative works!
But before Yang Guo answered, the director of the Department of education took Mo Yan aside and whispered, "teacher Mo Yan, translation is not a trivial matter. Do you think it over?"
The director of the foreign affairs department also came over, nodded and agreed, "yes, Xiao Yang looks very young. I think it's still necessary to find someone with more experience to do this! I'll help go back and type the report and ask the Ministry to help contact the old professor of Swedish."
"There should be many scholars and experts who can speak Swedish!" The director of the Department of Education said, "in addition to Xiao Yang, we have many better choices!"
Mo Yan smiled, thinking in his heart, if there is a better choice, will it be delayed until now?
Previously, in order to declare this award, he found Professor Ma Yueran with the recommendation of a friend. He rarely helped others translate the works declaring the Nobel Prize, but he also appreciated Mo Yan. He specially took out to help him translate his "sandalwood punishment" and "Red Sorghum", a long article and a medium article, which is very awesome!
There are only two universities that offer Swedish majors in China: capital Foreign Studies University and mordu Foreign Studies University. And both of them only recruit students once every four years, which shows the scarcity of Swedish talents in China!
How easy is it to find a suitable translator?
Before, he didn't think he had much hope of applying for this award, so after Professor Ma Yueran translated the two works, he didn't continue to look for someone. But now it seems that there is still hope, and it is not small!
When he heard the news, his already undisturbed heart surged again! This Chinese has worked hard for a hundred years, and no one has won the Nobel Prize, which is also very attractive for Mo Yan himself. Mo Yan suddenly had the idea to fight.
It is no longer appropriate to go to Professor Ma Yueran at this time, and it is not good for him to always bother him like this. Mo Yan can only find someone else. Naturally, the Ministry of foreign affairs needs to find someone to help through them. This line is very important, but there are many good works of its own, such as "fatigue of life and death", "frog", "master becoming more and more humorous" and other short stories are good. It is impossible to find enough people there to translate them all.
Moreover, Mo Yan is not very confident that others will hand over works such as fatigue of life and death to them. If the translation is done twice, it will fall short of success?
Obviously, the director of the foreign affairs department knows more about language majors than the director of the Department of education. After hearing the word "many" from the director of the Department of education, he pushed him and said with a wry smile, "no, there may be a few old professors, but there are not many people who can speak Swedish in China. In our department, there is little Liu Hui, and the whole Guangdong Province is estimated to be unable to find a few."
"Then we should also dig deep into talents in this field!" The director of the Department of Education said in an official voice, "this matter is related to the face of our country, and the whole country can't do it too well!"
The director of the foreign affairs department muttered in his heart, "you speak easily. When you enter the Central Committee, will you mention the word country?"
Mo Yan said, "why don't we also know about Xiao Yang? Let's see if he has the real material. If not, we can't choose him?"
The director of the foreign affairs department thought it was a good idea. He waved to the Swedish translator named Xiao Liu and asked, "Xiao Liu, how do you evaluate that Xiao Yang's Swedish?"
He looked into Xiao Liu's eyes and said seriously, "tell the truth!"
Xiao Liu understood the intention of the director to ask him this question. He looked back at Yang Guo, looked at his unimpeded communication with Professor Anderson, swallowed his saliva, and then threw away the trace of jealousy in his heart, and seriously replied, "Yang Guo speaks Swedish very well! I can't compare with him. Moreover, I think in terms of oral English, he is the best I've ever seen, and those teachers of my undergraduate course don't speak it well."
Xiao Liu graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University and only studied as an undergraduate. However, there are also some serious scholars in Swedish among his teachers. It can be seen how high he thinks of Yang Guo!
The director of the Department of education also waved to Uncle Jin. Although Xu Caijin was a new deputy director, he had a deep background. When talking to the director, he asked slightly politely, "Lao Xu! What's the source of that Xiao Yang you found?"
"He! I'm a neighbor. Although I'm just a young boy, I'm still quite optimistic about him!" Xu Caijin said with a smile, "by the way, didn't you buy a biography of jobs as a gift for your child's birthday last time? That's Yang Guofan."
"Oh! So he is also experienced in translating things." The director nodded and said with a little memory. He still remembered how happy his son was when he received the gift and how he couldn't put it down.
Xu Caijin added, "by the way, he seems to be the gold medal translator of Xinda!"
When it comes to Xinda, the director of the foreign affairs office is familiar with it. As the leader of the translation industry in Guangdong Province, Xinda usually has a lot of contacts with them.
"Xiao Yang should be a translator. That should be Yao Dehua, an old Yao!" The director laughed, "I'll call and ask."
With that, he took out his mobile phone and went to the side to make a phone call. After a while, he came over and said, "Lao Yao seems to attach great importance to Yang Guo, a young man! He said that as long as Yang Guo has confidence, Yang Guo will be able to do this thing well! You may not know Lao Yao. He is a very capable person and never lies. Since he said so today, Xiao Yang must be outstanding!"
Xu Caijin asked with a smile, "you said that so many YangGuo made me dizzy. What's the matter?"
The director of the Department of education laughed and said, "well, Professor Anderson came this time to tell teacher Mo Yan that he would translate some of his representative works into Swedish for the convenience of their review by the jury."
"Bullshit!" Xu Caijin said disdainfully, "I don't think all the books for the election have to be translated into Swedish for them to read? That's a lot of work!"
"Certainly not all, so this proves that teacher Mo Yan has a great chance from another aspect!" The director of the Education Department said.
Mo Yan said, "because of the urgency of time, the manuscript will be submitted in mid February, and there are not many people who can do this in China. If Yang Guo's level is OK, I want to ask him to translate it for me."
Xu Caijin frowned when he heard this. He slowly said, "Yang Guo is still young. Will he...?" his sentence is the same as what the director of the Department of Education said, but his starting point is different. He wants to protect Yang Guo more.
Because this matter is not small, if Yang Guo's translation is not good, or Mo Yan failed to win the Nobel Prize, it may be a blow to Yang Guo! And he will also be questioned, and even some irrational people will blame him for his mistakes.
Like Yao Dehua, he is very optimistic about Yang Guo. He believes that over time, Yang Guo will certainly achieve brilliant achievements, but now if he encourages others, it will undoubtedly destroy him!
Based on the information he could get, Mo Yan began to have a clearer understanding of Yang Guo. Moreover, Professor Anderson's praise shows that Yang Guo's Swedish is really good. He can talk freely in his own questions, and the answer is quite satisfactory to his own heart, which shows that Yang Guo knows his works very well!
The director of the Department of education has only suggested that Mo Yan should make the final decision, and he also began to firm down.
Mo Yan walked towards Yang Guo, put his hands in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Yang Guo, how are you thinking?"
——————————————————
On the way home, the neon lights have lit up the city. Yang Guo holds Qiqi and sits on the back seat of the taxi with Zheng Yujie, looking out through the fuzzy window.
Until returning home, Jin Jin ran up with his tail swinging, and Qiqi took off her heavy clothes and regained her vitality, YangGuo gradually had a little sense of reality.
Today's experience is really too fantastic!
He just accompanied Zheng Yujie to a lecture, but somehow he became the protagonist!
Not only coaxed a Swedish Professor dressed as an aristocrat, but also was recognized and given a heavy responsibility by masters like Mo Yan.
Translate 490000 words of works in one month! In terms of time and number of words, it is very difficult to translate the biography of jobs! Then he even readily accepted it!
Maybe it's the devil in my heart who is eager to challenge! However, it's also very good. This is another peak that I want to climb!
Of course, Yang Guo has not forgotten Zheng Yujie's mission! After he promised Mo Yan, he immediately introduced Zheng Yujie to him.
Perhaps today is too excited, Zheng Yujie didn't spend too much words, Mo Yan promised categorically! No matter whether he won the prize or not, he helped him sell his books overseas. If he won the prize, his share will be automatically changed into a higher proportion. This super rich condition offered by Zheng Yujie is also one of the reasons to attract Mo Yan.
Zheng Yujie was very happy to get Mo Yan's overseas copyright except English. When she came home, she held Yang Guo's hand and said she couldn't believe it.
"By the way, how about I try to leave his book for you to translate?" Zheng Yujie said happily, "I know that you also know French, Spanish and many other languages!"
Yang Guo was stunned and said with a smile, "aren't you going to kill me?"
Zheng Yujie hooked Yang Guo's shoulder, looked like a good friend, and said, "of course not. I'm going to leave the best oneortwo to you! And I don't have to turn them all. Just grab those mainstream languages!"
Yang Guo was quite moved. He laughed and said, "what kind of reward do you give me?"
Zheng Yujie said brightly, "I suggest you don't rush to sell the copyright of your translation now. When he wins the prize, I say that if he wins, your price can be doubled!"
Zheng Yujie has thought of herself as the Yang family and sold the publishing house together with Yang Guo. I don't know what Pang Yue would think if she knew that she was bent on cultivating her
