Chapter 1274 Translation Certificate in Hand
Chu Xue's translation certificate exam went very smoothly. First was the written exam, which had an hour's time. Chu Xue actually finished in less than half an hour, but seeing that others were still answering questions, she didn't want to hand in her paper right away.
After patiently checking it again, she entered the space. Her aunt was leaving in a few days, and she hadn't prepared a thank-you gift yet.
When the time was almost up, the proctor came down after seeing that she hadn't moved for a while.
Seeing that she had finished the test, he stood there and started to look at it. But what he saw made him startled. When he finished reading one side and raised his hand to flip it over, Chu Xue also realized what was happening. However, she didn't make a big fuss. She just looked up at the teacher and then returned to normal.
The proctor finished reading the exam papers, and the exam was over.
The papers were graded on the spot, and the examiners waited outside for more than half an hour before the results were posted.
After all, there aren't many applicants to begin with. There are three teachers grading the papers, and they take turns checking them twice before the results are released.
There were thirteen people taking the exam today, and seven of them were eliminated. Those who made the list were naturally overjoyed, while those who didn't make the list looked dejected, but they were unwilling to leave just like that.
There is another interpreting exam next. You need to pass both exams to get the translation certificate. The exams are very strict.
The exam was conducted in the order of registration, and Chu Xue was the last one to enter. The teachers inside were very impressed with her after reviewing her written exam paper.
To their surprise, Chu Xue not only scored first in the written test, but her interpreting skills were also excellent enough to be a simultaneous interpreter. One of the teachers even had her translate a passage, and the result was very gratifying.
The final result was something Chu Xue hadn't expected: three of the remaining six people received the basic translation certificate, while Chu Xue received the intermediate translation certificate. This meant that the fees for translating manuscripts would be different in the future.
It's simply the envy of everyone.
As she was leaving, a teacher approached Chuxue to ask for her contact address. Chuxue thought it wouldn't be a bad thing, so she didn't refuse.
The moment she received her certificate, she went straight to Xinhua Bookstore. To her surprise, the person she had first asked her about was the same one she had met: "Comrade, I have received my translation certificate and would like to come and pick up some documents to translate."
When the man saw the intermediate translation certificate in Chu Xue's hand, his eyes widened: "You passed the intermediate certificate exam directly?"
Chu Xue smiled slightly: "I was just lucky to have met a mentor."
"Oh, you're so modest. If you didn't have real talent, you wouldn't have gotten it."
After saying that, he pointed to the second floor: "Come with me. The director is in charge of the translation. I'll take you up now."
The two went up to the second floor and walked to an office in the middle. Sister Zheng, who had brought Chuxue up, knocked lightly on the door and heard from inside: "Come in."
Sister Zheng pushed open the door: "Director Wu, this Comrade Xiao just passed the intermediate translation certificate exam and wants to come and pick up some documents to take back for translation."
Upon hearing that it was an intermediate-level translation certificate, Director Wu sat up straight and said, "Come in and talk."
Sister Zheng gestured for Chuxue to go inside, and she turned around and went back downstairs.
Director Wu reviewed Chu Xue's translation certificate and said, "It's remarkable that she can obtain an intermediate translation certificate at this age."
When Chu Xue heard the praise, she didn't feign modesty this time, but instead put on a polite smile.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Director Wu got up and took out several books from the metal cabinet behind him: "These books are urgently needed for translation. Please take a look."
