Chapter 712: Talking Differently



Chapter 712: Talking at cross purposes

A baby blue floral T-shirt, a lemon yellow skirt, and a flamingo colored lining. It is hard to imagine how all these vibrant and colorful colors were put together.

Especially in London, which is full of dark tones such as gray, black, brown, etc., this bright color easily stands out and enters the sight.

Finally, the white down jacket is definitely a stroke of genius, stuffing all the strong and brilliant colors into the body of the Michelin Baby, so that people don’t know where to look, as if they see a tropical storm coming towards them like a tornado.

Visual impact!

"Feel sorry……"

This sentence was in English with a strong accent, but because there were so many different languages ​​in Europe, Gawain couldn't tell the specific accent for a moment.

Then, there was a series of...Italian.

Gao Wen: ...

How to identify Italian?

Because while the other person was speaking, his arm holding the cheese did not rest and he kept making gestures with his right hand to assist, appearing to be very busy.

Gawain made a bold guess: Italian.

But even if I guessed it, I still wouldn't have any clue.

His eyes were wide open, as if all his strength was concentrated on his brows, trying to find familiar content from the series of intricate syllables.

The experience is slightly different from Paris.

In Paris, those who speak French are inherently arrogant and aloof. It’s not that they don’t understand English, but that they refuse to speak it.

And the middle-aged woman in front of me who was speaking Italian, hiding behind her eagerness and timidity was a passion, she was trying hard to communicate——

Not using English is not because of unwillingness, but because of lack of proficiency.

Therefore, the methods Gawain used in Paris were no longer useful at this time.

What to do? It is conceivable that this middle-aged woman must have been looking for help, but because of the language barrier, she has not been able to succeed. She must be desperate, helpless and lonely now. Even asking Gawain for help must have taken a lot of courage.

At least Gawain should try.

concentrate!

The different languages ​​​​of continental Europe all have their own characteristics and are not necessarily intelligible, but one thing worth noting is that their pronunciations are all composed of syllables.

Just like English, if you can identify the syllables, you can basically write the spelling of the word and understand the meaning.

syllable!

Wait, Gawain seemed to have caught an important syllable.

"Roger?"

"Roger Federer?"

Gao Wen hesitated a little, raised the last tone slightly, and sought the other party's confirmation with his eyes.

Then you can see the middle-aged woman's expression blooming like a rose, and she keeps clapping her hands to show her affirmation, but because her movements are too excited, the cheese in her arms begins to shake.

Fortunately, Gawain reacted very promptly and helped hold on to Cheese, thus avoiding a "tragedy" from happening.

Gurgle.

Gurgle.

The middle-aged woman spoke in a rhythmic manner, and then Gao Wen only understood one word, "Thank you" -

Hello and thank you, these are probably the easiest words to learn in different languages, right? But how do you say "you're welcome" in Italian? "Ah!"

Gao Wen suddenly had an idea and he dug out his phone from his pocket. He motioned for the other party to wait for a moment, found the translation app on his phone, selected the English to Italian translation, and spoke into the phone.

"Federer went to take photos on location and has not returned yet."

Then, click Play.

Gao Wen was a little worried. What if he guessed wrong? These words were not Italian at all, but Greek or Finnish? "Aha!" The middle-aged woman showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then she mumbled something.

It seems that he guessed right! Gao Wen quickly signaled the middle-aged woman to wait, pointed the phone at her, asked her to speak, and translated it back, and finally understood.

"...I have been waiting for him here for three hours, but no one told me where he went, and I couldn't see any schedule at the practice field. I almost gave up. Thank you for telling me. You are really an angel."

"Dear little angel, can you tell me when he will be back? Can I wait here? Or do I need to go to the stadium? I made time today just to come and see Roger. I really like him so much."

Crackling.

The other party finally found someone to help, and all the words came out at once. As he spoke, he held Gawain's cheeks with both hands - Cheese was sandwiched in his arms, looking at Gawain with warm and kind eyes, and gently patting Gawain's cheeks.

It instantly brought Gao Wen back to when he was four years old. The aunt next door liked this.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

On the contrary, Gao Wen was a little overwhelmed. Are all Italians so enthusiastic?

Gao Wen smiled and gestured to his cell phone, which made the other party let go of his hands. He then spoke into the phone.

"I'm not sure, but Roger should be back soon. You just need to wait in the hotel lobby."

Turning around and looking around, the bustling crowd in the hotel lobby was increasing instead of decreasing.

Now it seems that these are the fans who are waiting here specifically for the players participating in the year-end finals. The star-studded lineup is enough to drive the fans crazy, and even the bad weather outside cannot stop their enthusiasm.

"Gawain?"

"How are you?"

Dimitrov's voice came from behind him. Gawain breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to the middle-aged woman in front of him to wait a moment.

"Grigor, how's your Italian?"

"Won't."

Dimitrov answered very simply, and then he could see Gawain's speechless expression, which made him laugh, "I'm not Roger."

Federer is elegant and graceful on the court, and he is also very talented outside the court. He is well-known for his proficiency in multiple languages, including English, French, German, etc.

Gawain couldn't help but chuckled, "It just so happens that this lady wants to find Roger. She must be a fan."

"Grigor Dimitrov!" Before Gawain finished his words, the lady recognized Dimitrov and walked up to him enthusiastically.

What followed was another series of rhythmic Italian speeches, and at the same time, he held Dimitrov's cheek affectionately, as if he was seeing his own child.

Dimitrov seemed much calmer, and it seemed that he had met many Italian fans in Europe. He kept responding in Italian.

"Thank you. Thank you, thank you!"

As if he noticed Gawain's gaze, Dimitrov explained briefly, "Because of the pronunciation, I can understand a little bit, just a little bit." As he spoke, Dimitrov also gestured "a little bit".

But the lady was still as enthusiastic as ever, completely ignoring the conversation between Dimitrov and Gawain, and she was talking excitedly and happily by herself.

In front of us, the lady was speaking Italian, while Gawain and Dimitrov were speaking English. It was obvious that neither side understood each other, but the process of speaking at cross purposes did not seem to be affected, and the scene was very funny.
