Chapter 176
uncle Jin gave instructions: "Yang Guo, stabilize him later. You accompany him to the stage and sit down for a while. The lecture is still held as usual. I will arrange for him to communicate face-to-face with master Mo Yan after the lecture. You will continue to help with the translation at that time!"
Uncle Jin patted Yang Guo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "please help follow today! It's not easy to find someone who understands Swedish at this time. It's a big deal. I have to report to the top first."
Yang Guo nodded and turned to go back to talk with Professor Anderson. Uncle Jin grabbed Yang Guo again and told him, "when you tell him, remember to tell me about any new findings. Don't tell the staff below in detail."
Uncle Jin went aside to make a phone call, and Yang Guo walked back to Professor Anderson.
Seeing Yang Guo, Professor Anderson is very happy. The only thing he can communicate smoothly here is Yang Guo. In fact, he regretted a little. Before coming, he should not be brave. He should apply to the embassy for an accompanying translator who understands Swedish! I didn't expect that my English was still incomprehensible.
Yang Guo politely smiled at him and said, "Mr. Anderson, we are very happy to have you here."
He pointed to the propaganda poster standing at the door and then said, "however, since Mr. Mo Yan's lecture here today is about to begin, I wonder if you mind if we arrange you to talk to Mr. Mo Yan in detail after the lecture?"
Professor Anderson laughed and said, "I don't mind at all. I've always had time today. I want to ask if I can also go in and listen in? I don't have a ticket."
Yang Guo smiled. This request is too simple. He can answer it for the staff here: "of course, there is no problem. You can come with me."
Yang Guo turned to look for uncle Jin's figure and planned to tell him, but Xiao Li came up quickly and whispered to Yang Guo, "Mr. Yang, director Xu just told me what you need, just tell me directly."
Yang Guo said, "I need to take this VIP to the multicultural museum to attend the lecture. Do you have any extra tickets?"
Xiao Li smiled and said, "no ticket, I'll take you in."
Following Xiao Li, Yang Guo took Professor Anderson to the eighth floor, bypassed the ticket gate and walked in through the front door. Xiao Li pointed to the front row and said, "the front row seats are reserved. You can sit anywhere you want, but you'd better stay in the middle."
Yang Guo just pointed to the sign, and before he began to say, Professor Anderson shook his hands and said, "no, no, we don't want to sit in front."
Under Yang Guo's puzzled eyes, Professor Anderson explained with a smile, "wait a minute, I certainly can't understand Mr. Mo Yan's speech, and I need you to help translate, so in order not to disturb Mr. Mo Yan, we'd better sit in the back where there are few people!"
Well, I have to translate by myself! However, Yang Guo is not very resistant. On the contrary, he is a little eager to try. He has not done simultaneous translation, and he is still Swedish. Such a difficult challenge is too... Too... Too exciting!
Yang Guo explained to Professor Anderson and led him to the back.
Zheng Yujie has been waiting too long to sit still! Yang Guo went there for ten to twenty minutes. Did he get lost? If she was not afraid that Yang Guo would not find her back, she would be ready to go out to find Yang Guo!
She sat in her chair and looked around, her head glancing at the back door from time to time. At this time, a burst of pattering footsteps sounded. Looking back, Yang Guo was winking at her. However, Yang Guo didn't stop. He made a sign of calmness and then walked back.
Zheng Yujie was confused. She looked at Yang Guo carrying Qiqi and took a foreigner to the back and sat down.
Yang Guo held Qiqi in front of him and said to Professor Anderson, "Mr. Anderson, because you came in a hurry, we were not ready to entertain you. Today I brought my daughter out. Do you mind if I hold my daughter?"
If he said he would mind, Yang Guo would immediately take his daughter with him, so as not to serve such a proud foreigner!
Professor Anderson kindly smiled at Qiqi, and then said to Yang Guo, "I don't mind. My granddaughter is so old and as cute as your daughter."
Yang Guo smiled and began to gossip with him.
The advantage of erudition and memorization is that Yang Guo can talk to everyone, especially in the field. He has read too many books. The works of those who won the Nobel Prize, Le? Clezio's war, Hertha? Miller's "running water" and "walking boundaries", Mario? Vargas? In Llosa's "green house" and so on, Yang Guo can break out some sentences to talk to Professor Anderson.
Yang Guo can also talk about the style of writing of various famous masters, the outstanding characteristics of various schools, and even the selection twists and turns of other international awards in recent years.
What surprised Professor Anderson more was Yang Guo's familiarity with Sweden! Selma? Raglov is the pride of the Swedish community. Yang Guo also has deep research on several of her representative works, which makes Professor Anderson proud and begins to feel Yang Guo's erudition!
Professor Anderson sighed, "I've never seen a young man as excellent as you. If you didn't say you've never been to Sweden, I would think you were a student of a professor in our Swedish Academy!"
Yang Guo said with a smile, "I am engaged in translation. Of course, my love for also urges me to keep learning. I hope to become a person like Mr. goran_malmqvist in your country one day and make contributions to the spread of culture all my life."
Referring to Ma Yueran, Professor Anderson was awed. This one is much older than him, and the number of titles is countless - Professor and Dean of Sinology in the Chinese Department of the school of Oriental languages, Stockholm University, academician of the Swedish Academy, President of the European Sinology Association, and a famous Sinologist.
More importantly, he is one of the 18 lifetime judges of the Nobel Prize. He devoted his whole life to Sinology research. Many Chinese classical masterpieces were known to the west only after he translated them.
Professor Anderson is even smaller than Professor Ma Yueran, and he has long been fascinated by Professor Ma Yueran. Of course, Yang Guo's expression of admiration for Professor Ma Yueran is also a compliment to his national culture. Sweden has not been sulky over the years, and it is not easy to find a bosom friend in the Far East!
Professor Anderson said happily to Yang Guo, "I think you must come to Sweden to have a look when you have the opportunity. I think there are more customs in Sweden that you should like!"
Yang Guo deeply thought that it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. He really wanted to study everywhere when he had the opportunity!
The lecture was about to begin. Yang Guo glanced at Zheng Yujie, who looked up here from time to time. He secretly said that it was bad to forget her! Confess to Professor Anderson and run to Zheng Yujie.
"What are you doing!" Zheng Yujie twisted the meat on YangGuo's arm angrily and said, "hang me here for so long!"
"No, I was caught!" Yang Guo explained the cause and effect of the matter.
He hesitated for a moment, looked around, and whispered to Zheng Yujie, "I tell you, don't spread it out, and don't let people post it in the newspaper." He also secretly told Zheng Yujie about the analysis of Uncle Mo Yan and Jin, who came from the Nobel Prize jury.
"Cut!" Zheng Yujie curled her lips and said, "what did I think it was? Do you think I didn't know? This time I came because I got the news that many people are optimistic about Mo Yan's winning the prize this year. Although some people are optimistic every year, I think this is an opportunity and worth fighting!"
Yang Guo asked puzzledly, "no, why didn't his book be wanted by the publishing house? He has been famous for a long time!"
"It's not a domestic publishing right. We want to publish overseas!" Zheng Yujie whispered.
"I remember you don't have an overseas publishing department!" Yang Guo asked, "is it going to be added?"
Zheng Yujie said, "no, but this is an opportunity. If you can get the overseas publishing rights of Mo Yan's books, you may not be able to operate well! My grandfather often tells me that culture can't be cherished. You can't do it yourself behind closed doors. There's no future without going out all day!"
Yang Guo agreed and nodded.
"Hurry to accompany the Swedish Professor!" Zheng Yujie pushed him and said, "the lecture is about to begin!"
"What about you?" Yang Guo asked.
"You don't have to worry about me! I'm not a three-year-old child. I need someone to accompany me when I listen to a lecture!" Zheng Yujie said so, but she was still very happy. The unhappiness that had just been left aside was swept away.
"Well, don't you also want to see Mo Yan later? After the lecture, you can come with me and I'll follow up with uncle." Yang Guo said.
"Uh huh!"
——————————————
Back to Professor Anderson, the lecture had just begun. Under the introduction of the host, a middle-aged and elderly man in his early seventies came up with a smile. This is Mo Yan. No one will believe that he can write so deep rural customs in terms of appearance!
However, it was such a person who looked like the Secretary of the village Party committee who wrote such a great work as red sorghum! Yang Guo looked at him carefully, and Fang felt that under this ordinary face, there was a deep and thick temperament! That is because knowledge and achievements have accumulated to a certain extent and gradually converge the light of pearls and jade. Yang Guo claims that he is still far from it!
Mo Yan began to speak. Yang Guo stabilized his mind and began to concentrate on translating for Professor Anderson. After all, Professor Anderson is a foreigner. Mo Yan's lecture involved a lot of local conditions and customs in China and cited many examples in his own works, which he did not understand very well.
Seeing this, Yang Guo explained those difficult parts to Professor Anderson in depth based on Mo Yan's lecture and his understanding of him. It's also because Mo Yan's speech speed is not fast, which gives Yang Guo time for simultaneous translation.
Professor Anderson can finally hear the lecture happily!
