"Senior two students? Also proficient in English and French?"
Put down the phone, Zhou mother reluctantly shook her head.
Although she promised to let her daughter's classmates come for an "interview", she didn't report any hope at all.
Teenagers may not be able to translate well even if they grow up in English-speaking countries and are proficient in English.
In particular, such highly professional interpretation requires not only strong English ability, but also sufficient professional knowledge.
There are some special names. If you don't know enough, even native English speakers may not be able to use them skillfully.
Not to mention in China, students have only opened their mouths to speak English for a few years?
Perhaps in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, middle school students who have been involved since childhood can speak fluent English.
But in a small county like theirs, tut TUT is still dumb English based on exam oriented Education - no one is afraid to do questions, but he flinches directly as soon as he opens his mouth.
The daughter said that her roommate's English is good, and she is probably also this kind of examination oriented talent.
Zhou's mother didn't take her daughter's words seriously at all. She promised to let he Tiantian come for an interview, but she didn't want to disappoint her daughter too much.
Alas, her husband transferred to the county town three years ago, and her work relationship also followed.
Zhou's mother didn't want to separate her family. The survey found that the economic level of the county was relatively low, but the performance of the county middle school was very good.
In the college entrance examination a few years ago, the students of county No. 1 middle school repeatedly won the local municipal champion or provincial champion.
Their hometown is a first tier big city, advocating quality education and children's all-round development, but they may not be able to pass the county children in the college entrance examination.
After some thinking and careful discussion with the husband and the elderly of both sides, the husband and wife brought their daughter when they were transferred.
Their idea is simple, let the children read the secondary school in the county town, and then return to the registered residence when they are in the college entrance examination.
In this way, maybe you can get a good score.
Although Zhou's father and mother are all thinking about their daughter, they let the children who grew up in big cities follow them to a small county and let her live in school. They can only go home on weekends or holidays.
Zhou's mother still feels sorry for her child.
Zixuan is very sensible. Maybe she is not a good girl in other people's eyes - not everyone can accept neutral beauty.
But in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, their daughter is the most sensible, independent and strong child!
They treated the child badly, but the child did not rebel, but became better. Zhou's mother wanted to respond to the child's requests without breaking the principles.
Besides, my daughter also helped her solve her problems today.
If she hadn't inadvertently said "the foreign party suddenly adjusted the meeting time, the scheduled translation couldn't arrive in time, and couldn't find a suitable interpreter at that time", Zixuan wouldn't recommend her classmates.
After all, my daughter still took her words and her difficulties to heart.
Therefore, whether he Tiantian can do it or not, Zhou's mother will give her a chance to show it.
It not only completes her daughter's filial piety, but also helps her have a good relationship with her classmates.
Zhou's mother had such an idea, so when she saw he Tiantian the next evening, she didn't take it lightly or perfunctorily.
According to the normal interview procedure, she regarded he Tiantian, a high school student under the age of 18, as a real job seeker. There were no lack of gentle tests in the rules.
Oral expression ability, listening acceptance ability, real-time translation, and then professional investigation!
"..." Zhou's mother is not a professional translator, but she has been engaged in foreign trade for many years and is also half an expert.
Zhou's mother can judge whether he Tiantian has real skills at a glance.
He Tiantian's English is pure American pronunciation, with accurate pronunciation and clear enunciation. There is no strange emphasis of crooked nuts speaking English, and there is no local accent.
Zhou's mother nodded and passed the first pass perfectly.
For real-time translation, Zhou's mother said it herself and asked he Tiantian to translate it.
Zhou's mother's foreign language is medium. She may not understand every word translated by he Tiantian.
But she'll see what she says.
If he Tiantian gets stuck or encounters words she can't translate, her face will show it.
Mother Zhou could see her nervous, helpless or ashamed eyes at a glance.
However, he Tiantian is generous, confident and beautiful.
Every sentence she translated was so smooth that there was no hesitation or stumbling.
Say a layman's words, I can't understand what he Tiantian said, but seeing her calm and steady momentum, I think she speaks very well!
Zhou's mother is not a complete layman. She still understands some key words and basic sentence patterns.
So... There is no problem with he Tiantian's real-time translation!
The last one is the expertise of the pharmaceutical industry.
Zhou's mother directly took out a paper published in the lancet for he Tiantian to translate on site.
He Tiantian
The lancet?
She's too familiar.
In the last world just ended, she once published a paper on the lancet.
He Tiantian took the paper and turned her eyes. Where her eyes reached, her translation went there.
She translated some obscure professional words without embarrassment.
"... call manager Liu!"
Seeing he Tiantian's excellent performance, Zhou's mother finally paid attention to it.
She called the project manager in charge of the negotiation directly.
Manager Liu's personal English can't reach the level of translation.
But for foreign trade, English is not too bad.
He is an executive in charge of this project. Recently, he has been studying relevant materials.
He may not be able to use some special words skillfully, but he can also know what Chinese-English translation looks like.
When manager Liu just saw he Tiantian, he was a little surprised!
The foreign side temporarily advanced the meeting time by one week. The original interpretation schedule was not open, so it was impossible to attend on time.
The meeting time is just good. In the golden week, I can't find a reliable interpreter temporarily.
Manager Liu was so anxious that he thought that if he couldn't, he went to the provincial foreign language school to find a teacher.
However, people who know a foreign language may not be able to interpret well at the Medical Fair.
Just when he was anxious to find a way around, the assistant told him that the leader found a very good interpreter and asked him to go and have a look.
Manager Liu was overjoyed and sighed in his heart: he is worthy of being a leader and has a wide range of contacts.
In such an emergency, people who can find a rescue site can be found.
But when he came to the office and saw the so-called "interpretation", he suddenly got a little confused.
That's it?
A young girl who looks green?
Manager Liu's heart just soared and suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley.
After his great joy and sorrow, he was a little depressed.
Soon, however, he opened his eyes in surprise.
He Tiantian's performance is perfect. Zhou's mother just thinks her oral English is good.
As a half expert, manager Liu recognized the way as soon as he heard it.
"Good! Oh, that's great!"
Manager Liu's heart that fell to the bottom of the valley soared again.
He looked at he Tiantian with approval and satisfaction.
For his leadership, Zhou's mother, he was even more admirable: he was still a powerful leader and found such a powerful little genius.
When manager Liu said yes, Zhou's mother knew that he Tiantian had completely passed the test.
Zhou's mother fixed he Tiantian, agreed the departure time with her, and asked the assistant to go through the relevant formalities for her.
He Tiantian cooperates in the whole process.
Time soon came to the holiday.
On October 2, he Tiantian took a high-speed train with Zhou's mother and her party with simple luggage and rushed to the island city in advance.
Speaking of, this is he Tiantian's first time to take the high-speed rail in reality. It is also a luxury business seat.
Spacious space, comfortable seats and various supporting facilities are also very considerate.
He Tiantian looked at it strangely, touching the electronic screen and trying to put the seat flat. Her performance fell in the eyes of mother Zhou, who was a child who tried high-speed rail for the first time.
Although curious, there was no timidity.
This is a kind of confidence from the bone.
I will not feel inferior and cowardly because I have not seen it.
Zhou's mother nodded secretly and thought her daughter was a good roommate.
After arriving in the island city, he checked into the hotel. He Tiantian didn't have a direct rest, but asked manager Liu for relevant information and did her homework in advance.
Zhou's mother was more satisfied, capable but not proud. This is what it should be like to do things.
When the negotiation officially started, he Tiantian's performance surprised the people at the venue.
The beautiful teenage girl is calm, articulate and quick to respond. She can translate for a long time when manager Liu or foreign personnel have just finished speaking.
Chinese and English can be switched freely, and there is no obstacle to the use of obscure professional words.
Not to mention the satisfaction of Zhou's mother and manager Liu, even the foreigners and their entourage could not help but marvel secretly.
After the meeting, at the buffet dinner, the foreign manager said jokingly: "... Are the young people in China so powerful now?"
Teenage high school students can act as professional conference interpreters.
Tut Tut, such a thing is strange everywhere.
Not to mention anything else, the interpreters hired by foreign managers are all elite translators in their thirties.
At the moment, the elite is holding he Tiantian to chat, "your English is really good? Are you still reading? Are you interested in participating in AIIC?"
He Tiantian was curious and asked, "are you a member of AIIC?"
AIIC adopts the membership recommendation system.
That is, to apply to join AIIC, in addition to many professional regulations, you also need to be recommended by two full members of AIIC.
"Well, if you want to join, I can recommend it for you!"
In fact, the circle of interpretation is not large, and the number of AIIC members is small.
In such a large country, there are only 36 registered full members of AIIC.
This elite also cherishes talents and expands his network of contacts.
He looks at people very accurately and believes that he Tiantian, a child with outstanding performance at a young age, has no poor future.
Being able to make friends in advance is also an investment.
"Yes, I will! Thank you, Miss Guo!"
Joining AIIC is not a bad thing. Of course, he Tiantian is happy to agree.
However, in addition to the recommendation of three temporary members or two full members, there are many professional, professional and quality requirements to join AIIC.
For example, at least 150 days of work experience is required.
"... if there are suitable job opportunities in the future, I can introduce them to you!" since Mr. Guo wants to show kindness, he will do his best.
"Thank you, teacher, but I'm still studying now. I can only study on weekends or holidays -"
"No problem!" teacher Guo promised, exchanged contact information with he Tiantian, and pulled her into a group of penguins.
Needless to say, the group is full of leaders in the translation industry.
Usually very quiet, unless there is a need, or the big guys rarely chat.
"By the way, in addition to English, I am also proficient in French, German and Spanish!"
He Tiantian doesn't forget to show her strength.
Mr. Guo raised his eyebrows and twinkled in his eyes. He was right. The little girl in front of him was really a talent.
When you grow up in the future, you may not have any dazzling achievements.
However, Mr. Guo didn't rush to agree, but directly changed French to communicate with he Tiantian.
He Tiantian had no pressure and immediately followed up.
Then German and Spanish!
English or Chinese will continue to be interspersed in the middle.
A hodgepodge of four or five languages, one question and one answer, coming and going, and two people chatting, just to get the posture of the United Nations.
All the people passing by showed unspeakable expressions.
It seems to say: in the same nine years, you he Xiu!
Every time I meet such a big fairy, I and other mortals can't help but doubt that I must come to collect the number of people for the earth.
He Tiantian gained a lot from a trip to the island city.
He not only got a reward of 10000 yuan, but also met an elite and successfully entered the interpretation circle.
With a circle, there are more opportunities.
Before leaving the island city, Mr. Guo introduced a job.
For two days, the German mechanical industry conference interpreter was paid 13000 yuan.
Well, compared with English, German is a little less popular.
The price of conference interpretation will be much higher.
He Tiantian's German is proficient, but there is still a certain distance from specialization.
After returning to the hotel, she went directly into the virtual learning space and practiced German desperately.
The German teacher in the virtual learning space is the foreign language bull she met in the second world. She speaks exiled German. It's not too powerful.
He Tiantian has studied with her teacher for 20 years and has refined German to a professional level.
The next day, the work was successfully completed.
The reward of more than 10000 yuan is small. The key is that she proved herself to an elite like Mr. Guo.
Therefore, when he Tiantian returns to the county and holidays, she can always receive job opportunities recommended by teacher Guo or the leaders in the group.
He Tiantian estimates the time. By the end of the year, she will be able to brush enough working hours stipulated by AIIC.
The small money in her account is also growing at an incredible rate.
Maybe it's not as fast as doing business or stocks, but more than 100000 yuan is enough for a high school student.
Campus life is simple and calm. He Tiantian has a stable source of income and no longer worries about money.
So she woke up little D from the corner: "little D, little D, do a task!"
Little D didn't talk nonsense and directly dragged he Tiantian into the novel world.
Pop!
He Tiantian was slapped in the face before she reacted.
He Tiantian:... Classmate D, you must have done it on purpose!
