Chapter 104
at two o'clock in the afternoon, after eating Bento, Yang Guo coaxed her daughter to sleep. The press conference is expected to last two hours. Qiqi usually sleeps for twoorthree hours at noon. Now she starts to sleep. Three hours is enough.
Putting on Givenchy's formal clothes in the dressing room, Yang Guo declined the suggestion of the makeup artist to give him a little makeup. He was particularly resistant to cosmetics. He didn't know whether it was because of the shadow left in kindergarten when he was a child. At that time, the kindergarten children performed, and every child was smeared with a thick layer of powder. I still remember the nausea!
The makeup artist may have seen that Yang Guo's skin and complexion were good, but he was very talkative, so he let him out with a smile.
Yang Guo's charm value soared after changing clothes. After coming out, it became the focus of the whole preparation hall, especially those young etiquette girls and female staff, as if Yang Guo had a magic magnet on her body, and their eyes would never be taken off as soon as they stuck!
"Who is he?" The little girls whispered in twos and threes.
"It seems to be the translator named Yang Guo." Informed said proudly.
"Is He Yang Guo? I didn't expect him to be so handsome!" A few little girls' eyes are almost bent into hearts!
"Yes, yes, do you think he is so tall!" Several girls' attention is on Yang Guo's long legs.
"I heard that a boyfriend who is 18 cm taller than himself is the most suitable. He is the perfect prince charming! He is handsome and tall!"
"Hey, you're more than 18cm with others? I think I'm the most suitable! Hey, I don't think I can sleep tonight!" A girl covered her hot face and said.
"Xiaoyu, you sexy girl!" Everyone laughed at her.
A girl came up and said with a giggle, "I said, don't even think about it. It's not your turn. I saw people holding children!"
"Ah! How could it!" The girls looked incredible, "so young, have children?"
After getting the positive answer from their companions, the girls' hearts were broken: "why does every handsome boy who just met have a master!"
This is just an episode in the corner of the hall, and Yang Guo doesn't know that he has become the object of discussion of those girls. After Yang Guo came out, he stood beside Zheng Yujie and listened to her arrangement.
Zheng Yujie also changed into a neat business dress, with a white shirt with lace at the neck and a tight black skirt. Her body, which was originally convex and cocked up, looked even hotter against the background of the skirt!
Yang Guo is not a saint, and his eyes will float involuntarily to Zheng Yujie's hips. He thinks he has done it secretly, but women are the animals with the strongest sixth sense! How can Zheng Yujie not notice Yang Guo's little action?
But she didn't make a face, not only was she not angry, but she was also happy: "I knew you weren't Liu Xiahui!" To be appreciated by the people you like, Zheng Yujie's heartfelt smile at the moment is in line with the old saying: "a woman's face is pleasing to herself!"
The reporters who were taken to have a big lunch by the public relations department of Dongxin Publishing House returned to the hall of the press conference one after another, and under the guidance of etiquette, they found their own newspaper office and sat down.
There is a hidden rule in domestic news reporting. Even Dongxin publishing house is not uncommon. Those journalists who come back have bulging pockets in their pants, and they charge a lot of benefits. Eat people soft spoken, take people soft handed, there are so many newspapers, most of them also have a subtle relationship with Dongxin publishing house, many people at that time patted their chest and promised not to embarrass Dongxin publishing house in this matter.
So there was no tense atmosphere at the press conference. Instead, most people were talking and laughing, just like attending a tea party. Yang Guo watched it backstage and shook his head, feeling weird.
"Don't worry," Zheng Yujie saw Yang Guo shaking his head, thought he was nervous, pinched his hand and said, "they all follow the process, and there won't be too difficult problems."
Yang Guo took his hand out of Zheng Yujie's soft palm, touched his nose, and said with a smile, "I'm not worried! It's just the first time I went to the press conference, and I feel a little unreal."
Whether it's true or not, the press conference began at 3:30 p.m. as scheduled.
Attending the press conference as nonvoting delegates, in addition to the protagonists Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie, there are also Chen Fuzong, President of yeeyan.com, and Pang Yue, chief editor of Dongxin publishing house. Pang Yue is still a little worried. Her presence is mainly to support Zheng Yujie and them.
There is also Professor Luo Lin, a senior translator from Beijing Foreign Studies University. He is an older generation translator. His most famous translations are Milton's paradise lost, Paradise restored, Samson Rex and other famous works, which are also well-known in the translation industry.
This press conference of Dongxin publishing house is different from ordinary press conferences. In order to convince others more, it also arranged an on-site Q & A environment for Professor Luo and Yang Guo to let professionals give a correct evaluation, which is more useful than their painstaking explanation.
After a brief introduction, the press conference was gradually on the right track, and various newspapers reached out and raised their own questions.
At the beginning, they asked more about Pang Yue, the biggest player on the court.
"Editor in chief Pang, we and the vast majority of netizens have the same question, that is, how good is the translation quality of the Chinese version of jobs' biography?" A newspaper raised a very regular question.
Pang Yue smiled, Said: "originally, today's questions about the biography of jobs should be answered by our deputy editor Zheng Yujie, who is in charge of this project, and our translation team leader Yang Guo. But you asked me the right question! Who says I am one of the few people who has just read the sample book? No way, I have been looking forward to this book for a long time! Don't blame me for getting the moon first!"
Pang Yue's witty words aroused laughter from the audience.
"I'll evaluate it from the perspective of a book friend. I think this book is really good-looking! Really, I was fascinated when I looked at it. I couldn't help but call Yang Guo and ask them to translate faster, even though they were almost scolding me to death at that time." There was another burst of laughter under the stage.
"I think the quality of translation is good. Of course, it can't be said that what I'm talking about is truth. Translation is originally a matter of different people's opinions. Whether it's good or not, readers should buy a copy and have a good look at it at home before they can make a comment." Pang Yuedun paused and added, "but now the situation is that many readers have not seen the book, and they comment on how the book is turned. We don't support such an approach!"
"Deputy editor Zheng, I have a question for you." A reporter raised his hand, got permission and stood up and asked, "we all know that at that time, there were hundreds of applicants for the national audition of translators on yeeyan.com, but why did you choose four translators who had no experience in translating long works in the end?"
The question was not sharp, but it was also expected by Zheng Yujie and her colleagues. Zheng Yujie calmly picked up the microphone and responded, "we have two criteria for choosing translators. One is the best. The translators who can pass our three rounds of auditions are people with extraordinary attainments in Chinese and English;"
"The second is the most suitable. Every translator can't grasp all the subjects. For our biography of jobs, if he wants to be our translator, he must have a strong interest in electronic products. We don't need him to be a fan of jobs, but he must be able to understand the thoughts of jobs in this book, otherwise we won't trust him to be the messenger of information!" Zheng Yujie calmly said that it is worthy of a big family. Even in the face of so many shots, she can look calm and even exude a confident momentum.
"So we chose Yang Guo and three other translators, who are both excellent and competent for this task. Now it seems that our choice is correct!" Zheng Yujie smiled.
"We have heard that the translation of jobs' biography uses crowdsourcing translation for a long time. However, why not use only one translator? Why should we choose so many four translators? We all know that everyone has his own vocabulary habits in translation, and Dongxin publishing house is not afraid of four different styles in a Book?" A newspaper asked.
"In fact, it is not without a successful precedent to choose four translators to translate together. Two years ago, the adventures of the little prince published by Dongxin Publishing House adopted the crowdsourcing translation mode, and then the market responded well. So this time we have experience to rely on, not blindly and boldly using such an important book as our experimental field." Zheng Yujie laughed.
"It is also our helplessness to adopt four translators. As we all know, our book has more than 500000 words, and it took only 30 days to translate it. At the beginning, foreign publishers left us little time, not to mention all kinds of emergencies later, and finally the time left to the translation team was only 30 days."
Speaking of this, Zheng Yujie thought of some interesting things that urged Yang Guo to submit the manuscript at that time, and her heart swung, but she didn't show it on her face.
"In such a tight time, we can't hand over the book to one person to translate slowly. We can only adopt the crowdsourcing mode and gather the efforts of everyone to complete the translation of the book before the deadline." Zheng Yujie laughed.
"Without the efforts of Yang Guo and the four of them, we would not be able to catch up with the plan to release the book at the same time around the world, and book friends who had long expected this book would not be able to see the style of the only official autobiography designated by jobs at the earliest!"
