"A sophomore in high school? Also proficient in English and French?"

Putting down the phone, Zhou's mother shook her head helplessly.

Although she agreed to have her daughter's classmates come over for an "interview," she didn't have any hope at all.

Even if teenagers grow up in an English-speaking country and are proficient in English, they may not be able to translate well.

Especially this kind of highly professional interpretation requires the translator not only to have strong English skills, but also to have sufficient professional knowledge.

There are some special names that even native English speakers may not be able to use proficiently if they are not knowledgeable enough.

Not to mention that in China, it only takes a few years for students to open their mouths and speak English?

Perhaps in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, middle school students who have been introverted since childhood can speak fluent English.

But in a small county like theirs, Tsk Tsk, Tsk Tsk, still relies on exam-oriented education for mute English - no one is afraid of doing the questions, but immediately flinches as soon as he opens his mouth.

My daughter said that her roommate in the same class was good at English and was probably also an exam-oriented person.

Mother Zhou didn't take her daughter's words seriously at all. She agreed to let He Tiantian come for the interview just because she didn't want to disappoint her daughter too much.

Alas, her husband was transferred to work in this county three years ago, and her working relationship also changed accordingly.

Zhou's mother did not want the family to be separated. Investigation found that the economic level of the county was relatively low, but the results of the county middle school were very good.

In the college entrance examination in the past few years, students from County No. 1 Middle School have repeatedly won the top prize in the local city or province.

Their hometown is a first-tier city, which values ​​quality education and the all-round development of their children. However, when it comes to the college entrance examination, children from the county may not be able to pass the exam.

After some thought and careful discussion with the husband and the elders of both parties, when the couple was transferred, they brought their daughter with them.

Their idea is very simple: let their children go to middle school in the county and then return to their place of residence when they take the college entrance examination.

In this way, you may be able to get very good results in the exam.

Although Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were thinking about their daughter, they allowed their child, who had grown up in a big city, to follow them to a small county town and let her live in school. She could only go home on weekends or holidays.

Mother Zhou still felt sorry for her child.

Our own Zixuan is very sensible, maybe she is not a good girl in the eyes of others - not everyone can accept neutral beauty.

But in the eyes of the Zhous, their daughter is the most sensible, independent and strong child!

They mistreated the child, but the child did not become rebellious because of it, but became better. Zhou's mother wanted to respond to the child's requests without violating her principles.

Besides, in today's matter, my daughter was also helping her solve problems.

Zixuan would not have recommended her if she hadn't accidentally said during the video chat with her daughter, "The foreign party suddenly adjusted the meeting time, the scheduled interpreter could not arrive in time, and a suitable interpreter could not be found for a while."

classmate.

After all, my daughter still took her words and difficulties to heart.

Therefore, regardless of whether He Tiantian can do it or not, Zhou's mother will give her a chance to show it off.

It not only fulfills my daughter's filial piety, but also helps her build a good relationship with her classmates.

Zhou's mother had this idea, so when she saw He Tiantian the next evening, she didn't show any contempt or perfunctory attitude.

She followed the normal interview procedures and regarded He Tiantian, a high school student under the age of eighteen, as a real job applicant, and conducted tests with gentle rules.

Oral expression ability, listening ability, real-time translation, and then professional examination!

"..." Zhou's mother is not a professional translator, but she has been engaged in foreign trade for many years and is considered an expert.

Whether He Tiantian is really capable or not, Mother Zhou can make a judgment with just a quick glance.

He Tiantian's English is pure American pronunciation, with accurate pronunciation and clear enunciation. There is no strange emphasis in English spoken by crooked nuts, and there is no local accent.

Mother Zhou nodded, and He Tiantian passed the first test perfectly.

Regarding real-time translation, Zhou’s mother said something herself and asked He Tiantian to translate it.

Zhou's mother's foreign language proficiency is average, and she may not be able to understand every word He Tiantian translated.

But she knows how to watch what is happening.

If He Tiantian gets stuck or encounters a word she doesn't know how to translate, it will show on her face.

Zhou's mother could tell any signs of nervousness, confusion or shame at a glance.

However, He Tiantian is generous, confident and bright.

Every sentence she translated was so smooth, without any hesitation or stumbling.

To put it bluntly, I can't understand what He Tiantian said, but looking at her calm and steady demeanor, I think she speaks very well!

And Zhou’s mother is not a complete layman. She can still understand some key words and basic sentence structures.

So... He Tiantian’s real-time translation is no problem at all!

The last item is professional knowledge in the pharmaceutical industry.

Mother Zhou directly took out a paper published in The Lancet and asked He Tiantian to translate it on the spot.

He Tiantian;…

Lancet?

She is too familiar.

In the last world that just ended, she had published a paper in The Lancet.

He Tiantian took the paper and rolled her eyes. Wherever she looked, her translation would be completed.

She didn't have any embarrassment at all and translated some obscure and difficult professional words.

"...Call Manager Liu!"

Seeing He Tiantian performing so well, Zhou's mother finally took it seriously.

She directly called the project manager responsible for the negotiation.

Manager Liu's personal English is not up to the level of translation.

But those who do foreign trade don’t have too bad English.

And he is the executive in charge of this project. He has been studying relevant information recently.

He may not be able to use certain special words proficiently, but he can still know what the Chinese-English translation looks like.

Manager Liu was a little surprised when he saw He Tiantian just now!

The foreign party temporarily moved the meeting time forward by a week, and the original interpretation arrangement was not available, so it was impossible to attend on time.

The meeting happened to fall during the Golden Week, so I couldn't find a reliable interpreter at the last minute.

Manager Liu was so worried that he was still thinking that if it didn't work out, he would go to the provincial capital foreign language school to find a teacher.

However, people who understand foreign languages ​​may not be able to interpret well at medical conferences.

Just when he was anxiously looking for a solution, his assistant told him that the leader had found a very good interpreter and asked him to go over and have a look.

Manager Liu was overjoyed and sighed in his heart: As expected of a leader, he has a wide network of contacts.

In such an emergency, someone can always be found to help.

But when he came to the office and saw the so-called "interpretation", he was suddenly confused.

That's it?

A young girl who looks very young?

Manager Liu's heart, which had just been soaring, suddenly fell to the bottom again.

After being overjoyed and sad, he felt a little unmotivated.

However, soon, his eyes widened in surprise.

He Tiantian's performance was so perfect, Zhou's mother just thought her speaking was good.

As a semi-expert, Manager Liu knew the ropes as soon as he heard it.

"Okay! Oh, that's great!"

Manager Liu's heart that had hit rock bottom started to soar again.

He looked at He Tiantian with eyes full of approval and satisfaction.

He admired his leader Zhou Mu even more: she was a great leader, and she actually found such a powerful little genius.

When Manager Liu said yes, Mother Zhou knew that He Tiantian had completely passed the test.

Zhou's mother made a reservation for He Tiantian, agreed on a departure time with her, and asked her assistant to handle the relevant procedures for her.

He Tiantian cooperated throughout the whole process.

The holidays are coming soon.

On October 2nd, He Tiantian took the high-speed train with Zhou's mother and her group with simple luggage and rushed to the island city in advance.

Speaking of which, this is the first time He Tiantian has taken a high-speed train in real life, and it was a luxurious business seat.

The space is spacious, the seats are comfortable, and all the supporting facilities are very considerate.
