Chapter 93 She is our granddaughter-in-law
After dealing with Wei Wenyuan's matter, Lu Liangchen quietly returned to Mr. Lu's side and returned to his state of low sense of presence.
Very well-founded.
Wang Yu did not delay his old leader's business and quickly communicated about translation assistance.
Because Song Youyou translated common materials during her childhood, only the document given by Mr. Lin the day before yesterday involved obscure vocabulary.
Therefore, Wang Yi needs to study some rare foreign words related to military matters.
Wang Yu handed a snippet of foreign language to Song Youyou.
"Comrade Song Youyou, see if you can translate this foreign document. Some of the vocabulary here is rare and may not even be found in dictionaries, so it's quite difficult. You can look it up in a dictionary and consider the context. If you can translate it within half an hour, you'll meet the standard."
"Need not."
Song Youyou took the short piece of paper with the foreign text and felt a little amused.
I don't know if this counts as an open-book exam.
She had actually translated the above content in her previous life when she was a special translator.
She even remembered the general content of the whole article.
At the beginning, she spent a lot of time specifically studying the relevant knowledge.
After all, foreign languages are not like our long-standing Chinese characters.
Our Chinese writing system is very mature, but foreign languages are constantly creating new words based on different things.
This is also a difficulty in foreign language translation.
"Since it's not a long word count, how about I translate it directly for you to see if that's okay?"
"Ah?" Wang Yu was confused.
Could it be that I am old at only forty-something and cannot keep up with the pace of today's young people?
"Oral translation is fine, but...don't you need to look up a dictionary or something?"
He had memorized the meaning of this small clip, and it was sufficient to judge whether it was qualified on the spot.
But isn't direct translation the most difficult? You can't analyze the meaning in context, and you can't look up the dictionary. If you get stuck in the middle of the translation, it will really affect your grade.
"That's fine."
It's an open-book exam. If she can't even translate this, it would be a shame for all her efforts in her previous life. She could then go find a piece of tofu and kill herself.
It was a short paragraph in a foreign language, which was less than a ten-thousand-word long when translated into Chinese. Song Youyou spoke it out very fluently without even a single pause.
Gu Xu even thought that the language on the paper was Chinese, not a foreign language.
He even stretched his neck to take a look at the paper.
"Yes, very, very!"
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Yi burst into great surprise.
"Our military needs translators like you to help us solve these problems!"
In the past few days, Wang Yu has interviewed several talented translators. Song Youyou is the one he has met who translates most accurately and fluently so far, and she can even translate on the spot.
After all, China is a country in a state of disrepair and its military machinery is slightly behind. Even its efforts to study the advantages of foreign countries are often hindered by language barriers.
Therefore, the task of inviting translators to help solve the problem came into being.
"This mission will begin in three days. A special car will come to pick you up then. Comrade Song Youyou, is your time available?"
At this moment, Wang Yu automatically used respectful titles when speaking, regardless of age or whether he was a high-ranking official or not. It was a respectful title for strong people in certain fields.
"Dad, I just translated a few sentences, why is Political Commissar Wang so happy?"
