The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. "You want to translate here, do I need a dictionary or something?"
In the past, people who took translation jobs would take the documents home, and it would take as little as two or three days, or as long as one or two months, to submit the work.
According to him, many translators have to look up dictionaries and compare them repeatedly to confirm the meaning of words.
Jiang Yan was also stunned for a moment.
Do professional translators still need to look up dictionaries?
"No need. This is just a daily news story. It contains common words and there is no need to use a dictionary."
If it was a professional journal, she might have to look up a dictionary, but now that she has undergone systematic and rigorous training, she can easily read all kinds of complex professional books.
"Okay," he looked at the staff beside him, "Xiao Li, prepare paper, pen and table for her."
Seeing Jiang Yan's confidence, the middle-aged man also wanted to see how she could translate it.
Although he couldn't understand English, he had a sample translation for comparison. He had read the sample countless times and knew the content by heart.
"Okay, leader."
The staff took out paper and pen from under the counter, set up a table for Jiang Yan, and found a relatively quiet place in the bookstore.
After sitting down, with the original translation on the left and a blank piece of paper on the right, Jiang Yan first read the article through, then picked up a pen and began to translate.
She translated very quickly, just like a child copying homework.
I translated a 3,000-word article in just over ten minutes without any rush.
Looking at the translation documents in front of them, the middle-aged man was stunned.
"You, you've finished translating it now, don't you need to check it?"
Jiang Yan shook her head, "No need."
Taking the translated text handed to him, the middle-aged man began to read it carefully.
Same.
Exactly the same.
Even the girl's choice of words is more rigorous than the sample text.
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Yan in surprise and asked curiously, "Why is your English so good?"
It's done.
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "I am a military wife who came to accompany the army. I have a high school education and I used to study in the best middle school in our province."
There are foreign teachers in their school.
“No wonder.”
The middle-aged man understood.
Judging from the girl's clothes and temperament, her family should be well-off. She can study in the best middle school in the provincial capital, so her grades will naturally not be bad.
Nodding with satisfaction, the middle-aged man introduced himself: "I am Pang Guolin, the manager of this Xinhua Bookstore. The quality of your article is good and meets the requirements of our translation work, but I have to review your qualifications.
You said you are a military wife, do you have anything to prove your identity?"
"some."
Jiang Yan ran to an empty corner, using a backpack as a cover, and took out her letter of introduction, marriage certificate, and newly issued food grain book from her storage ring.
She puts all the money and important documents at home in the space and carries them with her.
Jiang Yan ran back and handed the things to Pang Guolin.
