Chapter 134: Translating

Chapter 134: Translation

About seven minutes later, Yan Yunxi handed the translated information to the middle-aged man.

It was mainly because she was used to modern life and it had become normal for her to forget words when she picked up a pen, so Yan Yunxi took a few more minutes. She knew that the other party was also calculating the time.

"So fast!" He took the information in disbelief.

It only took seven minutes in total. This girl would not fool him.

"Wait a minute."

As he said, the middle-aged man took out the standard translation answer of this article from his desk drawer and compared it.

This is an article about travel that talks about humanities and customs. There is no particularly professional vocabulary in it. It can be said that it is a very easy content to translate.

After a few minutes, he finally finished reading.

"Hello, comrade. I read your translation. It's very good!" The middle-aged man praised sincerely and continued, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Zhiyuan. You can just call me Lao Hu. I don't know how to call you."

"My name is Yan Yunxi."

"Here we are. There are several different levels of translation. At the beginning, you are just a reserve translator. The salary is fixed, 5 yuan per thousand words, and you can only translate some magazines and journals. If you

translate 10,000 words and the accuracy rate is over 90%, you can be promoted to a professional translator. The salary is 7 yuan per thousand words. The content of the translation includes papers and some professional academic journals. If

you translate 100,000 words and the accuracy rate is over 95%, you can be promoted to a translator. The salary is 10 yuan per thousand words. The content of the translation may involve some confidential content.

If you translate 300,000 words and the accuracy rate is over 98%, you can be promoted to a senior translator. The salary is 20 yuan per thousand words, and you will be involved in some higher-level and more confidential tasks."

"Okay, I understand. What should I do now?" Yan Yunxi didn't understand. Was this considered "employment"?

"You can choose to take them home for translation, or you can choose to translate them right in the bookstore. I can only give you some periodicals and magazines now. If you want to take them home, you need a deposit of five yuan for each book." Lao Hu explained to her.

"Okay, help me get a few more books, mainly some electronic machinery industry books." Yan Yunxi wanted to be promoted to the translator as soon as possible so that she could access some confidential documents.

In addition, she estimated that the ones she just translated were about 1,500 to 2,000 words. If she

translated six or seven articles at a time, it would be about 10,000 words, so she could be promoted faster.

In fact, Yan Yunxi is not short of money for translation now. She cares more about the content she can access.

In this regard, China is indeed far behind foreign countries. Although she has a lot of materials in her space, she has nothing in this era, involving the development of the electronic machinery industry and the research data on the future development of science and technology.

Since she knew that Mu Jingxuan liked to study these things, she has been paying attention to these things.

Today, she finally found what she wanted in the bookstore, so for Yan Yunxi, it is actually worthwhile to spend some time every day translating some information.

Lao Hu brought her a few books and marked the content that needed to be translated.

"You translate these first. After you have passed them and I submit them to the higher-ups, we will review you. Only after you pass will you officially become a professional translator."

"Okay, thank you, Lao Hu."

Yan Yunxi paid a deposit for a few magazines, took the books and left with Mu Jingxuan.

"Why do you want to find a translation job? If you feel bored at home, I can arrange for you to work in our factory."

After leaving the house, Mu Jingxuan asked Yan Yunxi in confusion. He knew that his wife was not short of money, but she might feel too bored if she had too much.

"First, I want to improve my English. Second, I want to select some information about mechanical industry and electronics and translate them. It will be very useful to you."

Mu Jingxuan listened to Yan Yunxi's explanation and was deeply moved. His wife knew what he was interested in and even found some information for him to translate.

"Thank you, wife!" Mu Jingxuan looked at Yan Yunxi with affection. "You are

such a bad person! Pay attention to your image on the street. I don't want to be dragged into a fight by those red armbands." Yan Yunxi smiled and gave him a small pink fist.

In just one day, Yan Yunxi sent all the translated materials to the bookstore.

"Old Hu, I'm here to hand in the translation."

Hu Zhiyuan looked at her with an incredible expression. He gave her a 15,000-word translation manuscript, and it was finished so quickly.

"You are really fast!" He gave Yan Yunxi a thumbs up.

"Next, I will send these to the higher-ups for review, including your personal information. Please leave me your address. If there is no problem, I will pay you the royalties in the form of remittance."

Yan Yunxi thought about it and left the address of Yan Zibin's home in the compound.

She didn't want too many people to know that she lived in a large courtyard next to the Forbidden City. It was better to keep a low profile at this time.

Hu Zhiyuan was also stunned when he saw the address left by Yan Yunxi. People who live in the compound shouldn't be short of money. Why does she have to do translation work?

"I am an educated youth who went to Linshan Village under Qi City. This address is my parents' home. I am just back for the New Year. I will return to Linshan Village after the New Year." Yan Yunxi explained to him.

"Okay, it will take at most one or two days. I will contact you when I have news." Old Hu didn't say anything more.

People who live in the military compound, what else can be reviewed? He guessed that this was just a formality.

...

In order not to stand out from the crowd, Yan Yunxi and Mu Jingxuan went to the department store in Jing City and bought new clothes for the whole family, including the newly recognized grandfather Liu Mingyang.

Although the styles are good, they are mainly in line with the characteristics of this era.

Originally, we spent New Year's Eve at Yan Baocheng's house every year, but this year Yan Yunxi brought Mu Jingxuan's family to Beijing, and Yan Baocheng's place was obviously too small.

The family discussed that everyone should just go to Yan Yunxi's courtyard to celebrate the New Year.

Before the New Year, Yan Ziwen, who had disappeared for a long time, finally came back,

"Niece, look what your fourth uncle brought you!"

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Yan Ziwen showed off the good stuff he had found all over the country to Yan Yunxi.

In fact, they were mainly things for the New Year, including lace for home decoration and two large boxes of fireworks and firecrackers. What

surprised Yan Yunxi the most was that there were long strings of colored lights.

Although the colors were a bit hard to describe, they were festive, so Mu Jingxuan and Yan Ziwen hung them all up.

...

On this day, Meng Xiaofei's parents also arrived in Beijing. They were going to their eldest brother's house to celebrate the New Year with their parents, so they took Meng Xiaofei away directly.

After seeing them off outside the gate, Yan Yunxi held Tong Xianglian's arm and asked, "Mom, why have I never heard you mention your grandma and grandpa?"

She had been holding it in for a long time, and now she finally found a chance to ask.

Tong Xianglian's face flashed a little unnatural, "It's nothing, they just don't want to recognize me, but I don't care, at least I'm living a happy life now."

Hmm

, "Why?" Yan Yunxi's intuition should be related to her.
