Chapter 930
the compatriots of the Embassy are really good. The planned double decker bus sightseeing activity is very interesting. They don't need to grasp the map to find it, nor do they need to painstakingly measure the land of Stockholm with their feet. They are comfortable and can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
I don't know what it's like to be a leader sitting on a high level blowing cold wind. Maybe it's cold and happy. But Yang Guo and Qiqi, as well as reporter Zhang, are also very happy to chat while watching the scenery on the first floor.
Although Yang Guo has never been to Sweden or seen these scenic spots, he knows the Swedish language on the road signs. Then he reads many books and comes with all kinds of allusions and anecdotes at his fingertips. He plays the role of a tourist guide all the way, which makes Qiqi and reporter Zhang not only fascinated, but also interesting.
Reporter Zhang is more interesting. He took out his notebook and took shorthand while listening. According to him, these may become the material of his report. Worthy of being a professional reporter!
"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang!" The call of the local leader surnamed Liu suddenly came from the front. Yang Guo glanced at reporter Zhang and hurriedly walked over with his daughter in his arms.
"Xiao Yang!" Leader Liu smiled and said to Yang Guo, "come and try with the driver. Just now our leader said that he would go to selger square to have a look. Isn't it called Venice in northern Europe? However, it seems that the translator Xiao Deng can't communicate with him."
Xiao Deng is the translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who accompanied him out today. His Swedish is actually OK, but it belongs to the academic school. Yang Guo thinks the people in the Embassy are more talented than him. In the winter, he wiped a sweat and complained to Yang Guo, "this century may not be a local, and the dialect accent is too heavy to understand."
It is also possible that Sweden is a small country, but there are still some dialects, and these dialects have evolved from the ancient ancient ancient Norse, which are very different from the marked Swedish in grammar and vocabulary, and some can't even be called Swedish. Now these dialects have been used by fewer and fewer people, but they still cannot change their existence.
When Yang Guo learned Swedish, he had a good understanding of these unorthodox dialects, because many scholars really studied them in depth and provided Yang Guo with a lot of references. However, this is all in theory. Speaking, Yang Guo has not heard much dialect audio, so he is not necessarily much better than Xiao Deng in this aspect.
Just try! Yang Guo went up and accosted the driver. Yang Guo frowned when he said the first series of Swedish with thick voice and muddy tongue.
Unlike the translator Xiao Deng, Xiao Deng mainly listens to pronunciation, so he can't understand it, but Yang Guo listens to grammar. Yang Guo is surprised to find that although the driver's accent is somewhat puzzling, the grammatical structure of his speech is still a standard Swedish model.
It can be said that although what he said is full of mistakes, he is still walking in the right direction!
And Yang Guo also found that he was not sure, so he tried to change his tone to communicate with the driver. Then Yang Guo heard a pronunciation he wanted to hear!
Yang Guo smiled. He understood why Xiao Deng couldn't communicate with the driver!
It's like the Chinese people communicate with people in Bangzi country or neon country in English. The Chinese people have their own pronunciation tone of Chinglish, and Bangzi country or neon country also has its own unique pronunciation mode. Such a comparison makes it feel that the two people don't speak the same language, there is a big difference, and they can't understand what the other party is saying!
Yes, the driver is not only a local, but also a native Swedish. Yang Guo doesn't know his nationality now, but Yang Guo knows that he was or may still be a Portuguese!
Portuguese and Spanish belong to the Roman language family, and they have two different origins from the Germanic language family to which Swedish belongs. The Swedish he speaks has a Portuguese accent and even grammatical habits, while the translator Xiao Deng is Chinese Swedish. They can understand standard Swedish, but listening to each other's words is completely the same as listening to another language, confused and difficult to distinguish.
The Swedish spoken by Yang Guo and the Swedish spoken by the embassy staff who drove them to the car but left in an emergency on the way are relatively standard. The driver can understand it, but his answer is more difficult.
Sure enough, Yang Guo changed into Portuguese to communicate with the driver, and the driver immediately laughed. He shook hands with Yang Guo and shouted, "haha, great, I can finally express my meaning comfortably!"
Yang Guo greeted him for a while, and then expressed to him their request to switch to selger square. The driver immediately said that this was ok, but now they are on King Island. If they want to change their route to Staten Island, they have to recalculate the Charter fee!
Yang Guo truthfully passed the problem on to leader Liu, who waved his hand proudly and said, "tell him that money is not a problem!"
Therefore, Yang Guo explained to the driver where he wanted to go, and then shook hands with him. The bus parked on the roadside slowly started again.
"Xiao Yang is still powerful!" Leader Liu introduced himself to several leaders who came down to watch, laughing and saying, "he can even speak dialect so well. No wonder teacher Han said he can't compare with Xiao Yang."
Master Mo held his hands and smiled. His apprentice was praised. He didn't mean to speak.
"Xiao Deng, did you hear that? You should learn more from Yang Guo in the future!" The leader of the Ministry of foreign affairs felt somewhat embarrassed, pointing to the translator Xiao Deng, and said, "like language, learning is endless. You should not only learn Swedish well, but also understand the dialect like Xiao Yang. Otherwise, how can you deal with this sudden situation today?"
Xiao Deng nodded yes, and his expression was extremely embarrassing.
Yang Guo arched his hands with a wry smile and said, "leaders, don't put a high hat on me! There is a misunderstanding about this matter. The driver doesn't speak dialect. He just doesn't speak Swedish as well as Xiao Deng. Just now, I communicated with him in Portuguese!"
Deng was stunned, and still looked at Yang Guo with some gratitude. He felt that Yang Guo had helped him out. At least, this is not his fault! He can't understand Portuguese, which is not bad for him!
Yang Guo didn't understand these twists and turns in officialdom. He just told the truth.
However, his explanation made these officials feel that Yang Guo was powerful. They all said, "Xiao Yang can speak fluent Portuguese? It's really powerful!"
Some leaders suggested that the Ministry of foreign affairs should recruit Yang guote. However, this is just a joke. Not to mention whether they are willing to recruit an "outsider", even if they invite, Yang Guo will not agree!
