Chapter 177
The lecture ended with applause, and Professor Anderson stood up and clapped his hands.
Yang Guo saw Uncle Jin in the front row waving to him from a distance. He smiled and said to Professor Anderson, "Mr. Anderson, let's go together!"
Yang Guo led Professor Anderson down, saw Zheng Yujie, and motioned for her to follow. To tell the truth, Yang Guo was a little nervous. He didn't know whether he would be scolded by Uncle Jin if he took Zheng Yujie down with him. After all, this was a serious occasion.
However, he was obviously worried. Yang Guo approached and saw Zheng Yujie at the first glance of uncle. He was surprised and said, "little Yujie? Why are you here?"
Before Zheng Yujie could answer, he shook his hand and said, "I'll tell you later."
He turned to Yang Guo and said, "the director of our department of education and the leaders of the foreign affairs department are here. Now let them have a talk with Anderson."
Yang Guo looked up and saw several people with extraordinary temperament coming over, so he relayed uncle Jin's words to Professor Anderson. Professor Anderson was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded. It's not that he hasn't dealt with the government. These are very common.
Yang Guo was about to follow him. Uncle Jin grabbed him and said, "don't go. They brought an interpreter. Thank you just now!"
Zheng Yujie said discontentedly, "Uncle Xu, you are stepping down to kill the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! Don't take you like this!"
Uncle Jin said with a wry smile, "I don't want to! But that's my big boss. Today's matter is unusual. My big boss and the leaders of the foreign affairs department came. They seemed to attach great importance to it, so even the translator was transferred."
"Then why did you look for Yang Guo at the beginning?" Zheng Yujie blamed uncle Jin for Yang Guo's just throwing her aside. "There are so many people who know English, any one can do it. Why is Yang Guo!"
"Because the foreigner speaks Swedish." Yang Guobang uncle Jin explained that he was very calm. After all, such an important diplomatic occasion, an outsider with children in his arms and casual clothes was not suitable to be present.
"Can you speak Swedish?" Zheng Yujie said in surprise. She saw the books in Yang Guo's study, but she didn't expect that Yang Guo even learned Swedish.
Uncle Jin was relieved at this time. He asked suspiciously, "do you know each other?"
"Yes!" Zheng Yujie readily responded, "Yang Guo is my good friend and my work partner."
"Oh!" Uncle Jin suddenly realized, "I remember, you are now in Dongxin, and Yang Guo's book is also from Dongxin."
Seeing that Yang Guo was a little confused about her follow-up relationship with uncle, Zheng Yujie simply explained to Yang Guo, "Uncle Jin used to be my grandfather's subordinate, and he was also an uncle of mine for me."
Uncle Jin looked at them with a smile and said, "yes, it's good that Yang Guo and I didn't call each other brothers, otherwise, our relationship will be chaotic again!"
Mo Yan, Professor Anderson and the director of the Department of education have not been too far away, and some of the conversation came faintly. Zheng Yujie pushed Yang Guo's hand and asked in a low voice, "how is his translation?"
Yang Guo said, "it's OK."
"Tell the truth!" Zheng Yujie twisted Yang Guo's hand. This little action fell into uncle Jin's eyes. He was a little surprised, but he didn't break it.
"Generally," Yang Guo had to say, "it's dry. He directly cut off many modified words by himself, but fortunately, the main idea was translated."
"It's good to find a Swedish translator in a hurry!" Uncle Jin laughed.
"Hum, it's not as good as YangGuo anyway!" Zheng Yujie is still brooding about this matter.
"By the way, xiaoyujie, why did you come to Yangcheng?" Uncle Jin asked, cutting off the topic.
"Teacher Mo Yan came here," said Zheng Yujie. "We want to take his overseas copyright!"
"Mo Yan's overseas copyright is still in his hands? Didn't he just say that his book has been translated?" Uncle Jin asked puzzled.
"English ones have been sold, and others in other languages!" Zheng Yujie explained.
Yang Guo and others talked for a while. The Swedish translator came over, looked at Yang Guo strangely and asked, "are you Mr. Leon?" When he said his name, he still used Swedish.
Yang Guo was stunned, nodded and said, "I am, and my Chinese name is Yang Guo."
"Professor Anderson here asked you to go by the roll call." The translator said to Yang Guo, and he nodded to follow up. Uncle also motioned.
Yang Guo had to follow.
The director of the Department of education here looked at Yang Guo, who was young and holding the child. His eyes were also very strange. He looked at Mo Yan and said, "Mr. Leon? What's your Chinese name?"
Yang Guo reported up and looked at these people for unknown reasons. All their eyes were on themselves, which made Yang Guo feel strange.
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Professor Anderson just recommended you to me, saying that you are the best person to help me translate my works."
"Ah!" Yang Guo is even more confused now. Translation works, which is this? Didn't you just ask Mo Yan to talk about the nomination?
"Well," Dai Wei, director of the Department of education, explained, "Professor Anderson just said that most of teacher Mo Yan's works are not translated in Swedish. He hopes that teacher Mo Yan can provide Swedish translations of several representative works for the review of the jury. We feel that time is very tight, and there are not many Swedish translators in China."
Yang Guo turned to ask Professor Anderson, "thank you for your recommendation, but why me?"
Professor Anderson said to Yang Guo with a smile, "because you have deep attainments in the field! You are not only familiar with Sweden, but also have a deep understanding of Mr. Mo Yan's works. I saw it when you just gave me a translation lecture."
Professor Anderson said to Yang Guo, and the Swedish translator also translated it to others.
Nevertheless, the director of the Department of education told Mo Yan, "this matter is of great importance, and Yang Guo is still so young, I think we should consider it carefully."
Mo Yan didn't answer. He looked at Yang Guo, smiled and said, "Professor Anderson just said that you know my works very well. Can you answer some of my questions?"
Before Yang Guo promised, he picked a few questions to test Yang Guo.
Yang Guodu answered calmly. He also expressed his admiration for Mo Yan, especially reading his short story called "boat", which reminds him of the short stories written by Mr. Shen Congwen in the 1930s. They are concise, but they are unrestrained and imaginative!
After listening, Mo Yan took a deep look at Yang Guo, pondered for a long time, raised his head and said, "Yang Guo, I want to invite you to translate my" fatigue of life and death ". I don't know whether you want to?"
