Chapter 938

"Hello, Leon!"

Yang Guo was not an important role at all. At this banquet, although he translated Mo Yan, people's attention was mainly focused on Mo Yan and other Nobel Prize winners. Yang Guo stole a gap and stood in the self-service area to eat some delicious food. Unexpectedly, someone greeted him in Mandarin.

Turning around, he saw a white haired old man standing in front of him. Yang Guo would not mistake the other person for a Chinese. After all, the white face was there.

"Professor Ma Yueran? Hello!" Yang Guo was surprised. He quickly bent down and bowed to the old man. The old man is also very tall, but because of his age, his bones are a little bent, and Yang Guo bends down and puts his head on the same level as the old man.

"Hey, can you recognize me?" Professor Ma Yueran said with a smile, "did you do your homework before coming to Sweden?"

Yang Guo said with a smile, "to attend such a grand conference, of course, I have to do my homework in advance. However, I still know a little about you because I have read many of your works and translations when learning Swedish." He spoke Chinese with Professor Ma Yueran, mainly because this is Professor Ma Yueran's field. He would be more happy to speak Chinese with him.

"Really? What works have you seen of me?" Professor Ma Yueran asked with great interest.

"I have read all your translations, including the poetry anthology coast and spoiled children of Beidao and Gucheng translated in Swedish in 1983; academic works include: the responsibility form of interrogative sentence structure in journey to the west, Western China phonetics research..." Yang Guo broke his fingers like a few treasures and told Professor Ma Yueran.

Yang Guo's expression is very excited, which is very different from his calm when translating, because he saw his idol!

Yang Guo doesn't worship celebrities or pursue stars, but he also has his own idols, and most of them are in the academic field, such as Professor Ma Yueran is one of them!

Professor Ma Yueran has a strong interest in Chinese culture. It is he who really expanded the field of Sinology research in Europe from archaeology and linguistics, and introduced a large number of ancient and modern Chinese works to Europe. It can be said that in terms of cultural communication, Yang Guo's evaluation of his unremitting promotion of China for decades or even more than half a century has even surpassed greatness!

In fact, more than 20 years ago, in 1988, Professor Ma Yueran always believed that the Nobel Prize winner of that year should be awarded to Mr. Shen Congwen, a writer who had not written since the 1950s, but whose works before that were already great enough.

Unfortunately, Mr. Shen Congwen died in 1988. Professor Ma Yueran, who received the news, called the Swedish Cultural Counselor in China. However, the other party did not know Mr. Shen Congwen. For this reason, Professor Ma Yueran angrily hung up the phone.

Professor Ma Yueran even tried to persuade other judges to make an exception to give the award to the deceased, but he tried many times without success. Finally, Professor Ma Yueran, 64, walked out of the conference room crying.

Yang Guo has always been respectful of Professor Ma Yueran's achievements and his attitude towards Chinese culture and Mr. Shen Congwen.

"Well, don't read it!" Professor Ma Yueran's face wrinkled and said with a smile, "I believe you really read what I wrote! I came here, not to test you, but to be curious and surprised at your wonderful performance in translation today, so come and have a look at you, a talented boy!"

"You flatter me!" Yang Guo quickly bowed and thanked, "in fact, this is because he has read the speech in advance, so he didn't encounter too difficult problems when translating!"

Others can't wait to take the credit on themselves, but Yang Guo just doesn't want it. He tries his best to explain, worried that Professor Ma Yueran misunderstood it!

"Modesty!" Professor Ma Yueran pointed to Yang Guo with his finger and said with a smile, "modesty is a virtue. I know that you Chinese all like modesty. However, in Sweden, you should do as the Romans do, and face up to your own achievements! My ma Yueran's eyes are still good. Maybe I have something to prepare for tonight, but in the afternoon's translation, it's all your emergency?"

Yang Guo was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head with some embarrassment and said with a smile, "Professor, you are really bright eyed."

"Put a high hat on me?" Although Professor Ma Yueran is old, his spirit is still good. He laughs and teases Yang Guo with a Chinese word, just like an old urchin!

"Haha, Professor, your Chinese is so smooth!" Yang Guo said admiringly.

"It's never too old to learn!" Professor Ma Yueran mischievously continued to show his Chinese skills, "although I am not Chinese, I have lived for more than 80 years, and I have eaten more rice than you have walked, so it is not surprising that I learn better!"

"It's you!" Professor Ma Yueran smiled and said, "Leon, I think you are excellent. It's not that you have made great achievements now, but that at your age, you can master Swedish and many other languages so deeply, which makes me feel amazing!"

Although the grammar is very standard, Professor Ma Yueran speaks incoherently. Maybe he is old. After all, there are not many people in the world who can stand and speak!

"I feel very honored to have your affirmation!" Yang Guo said with a smile, "language is my hobby and research direction! Swedish is the same. I like this language very much, not only because of its beauty, but also because it brings great inspiration to my academic research!"

Yang Guo and Professor Ma Yueran briefly introduced the translation variation theory he studied. Professor Ma Yueran nodded and said, "you are really great to be able to draw inferences from one instance, Leon!"

"Today I just want to see a translator who can translate Swedish so well!" Ma Yueran smiled and said, "I didn't expect to find a future university questioner! I really hope to see the day when you become a new generation of academic masters in China!"

I'm afraid it's difficult. After all, Professor Ma Yueran is over eighty years old, and no one knows where his life limit is. However, it's not certain. If he can live to be 99 like master Ji, there is really hope!

"After I go back, I will remember your recognition and expectations!" Yang Guo said slightly seriously, "I believe there will be such a day!"

Professor Ma Yueran didn't talk with Yang Guo much. He was old and his spirit couldn't support him to talk for too long. With the help of his assistant, Professor Ma Yueran left his faith and blessing, saying goodbye to Yang Guo and leaving.
