Tan Mo returned to the dormitory with his schedule and books.
I thought that Professor Tang was able to give her sophomore courses without knowing her knowledge yet, which showed that he had confidence in her.
On the first day of school, Tan Mo did not waste any time and went to find Professor Gu with the books she had translated.
"So fast!" Professor Gu was also a little surprised. Tan Mo's efficiency was extremely high.
Professor Gu could even recite all of this content by heart, so he naturally knew which parts would be more difficult.
Professor Gu looked through the book, including some characters that were difficult to recognize and some passages that were difficult to translate.
Extremely accurate!
Tan Mo did a very detailed job.
She first translated the original text word for word into modern simplified Chinese.
Then, under each line of the sentence, it was translated into modern vernacular using a smaller font size.
Classical Chinese sentences are short, and often one character can represent a word or even more.
After being translated into vernacular Chinese, a sentence becomes noticeably longer.
So Tan Mo will translate it one sentence at a time, and the translation will follow below.
By the time she printed it out, there were a lot more papers, a thick stack in her hand.
But it also looks clearer.
Just from the way she organized it, it can be seen that Tan Mo really cares about it.
Professor Gu nodded as he looked at it. "Not bad. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly."
"This ancient official..." Professor Gu asked with a smile, "You don't know all of them, do you? Haven't you looked up information?"
Otherwise, it would be very time-consuming just to match the fonts.
"I have a good memory and I remember everything I learned." Tan Mo was modest.
Professor Gu: “…”
This is not good at all.
I don’t know if this little girl is really humble or just trying to irritate people.
"Do you have any classes later?" Professor Gu checked the time.
"No more." Tan Mo shook his head.
I came to see Professor Gu because I was sure that I would have free time later.
"Come on, I'll take you to visit the research institute." Professor Gu stood up, holding the book translated by Tan Mo in his hand.
"Professor Gu, let me take it." Tan Mo stretched out his hand.
It’s a thick stack and quite heavy.
Professor Gu smiled and handed the stack of translated books to Tan Mo without any hesitation.
"My team's current research project is to compile ancient Chinese documents into volumes and translate them," Professor Gu explained on the way. "my country has a vast array of ancient documents, not limited to paper. Before papermaking, pottery, bronze artifacts, tortoise shells, animal bones, cloth, bamboo slips, and more were all used as writing materials."
"Not to mention some archaeological discoveries of writing on walls and stones, or even carvings. Although the text is not entirely complete due to erosion over time, every bit of decipherable writing is valuable, and perhaps we can uncover some clues and piece together bits of history."
"All this information is within our collection range!" said Professor Gu.
Professor Gu didn't use any emphasis in his tone, but Tan Mo could already feel the enormity of this project.
Once completed, it will be a great contribution to human civilization!
"We're actually collaborating with the History Department on this research. They're responsible for organizing it, and we're responsible for compiling it and translating it," Professor Gu said. "This small portion of the Liye Qin Bamboo Slips you're being asked to complete as part of this assessment is actually within our plans."
Glancing at the book in Tan Mo's hand, Professor Gu smiled and said, "Although this is an assessment for you, you have also helped us and reduced our workload."
Just for Tan Mo's efficiency and accuracy, Professor Gu had to bring her into his research team.
Following Professor Gu into their laboratory, Tan Mo found that it was completely different from what he had imagined.
I thought everyone was busy doing research in a small room.
But unexpectedly, it was so lively.
There are piles of books on each bookshelf, and the shelves are labeled with labels of various colors.
Tan Mo didn't look at it carefully, so he didn't know what each label meant.
In the middle of the laboratory, there are four whiteboards about the size of a 60-70 inch TV screen, forming a cube.
Sheets of A4 paper are fixed on the whiteboard with magnetic pins.
Printed on the paper are various ancient fonts that were scanned and copied.
"Found it!" A girl shouted happily, took down one of the papers on the whiteboard, wrote something on the paper, and finally wrote it down on the computer.
"Professor Gu, Tan Mo!" Wang Yuemu noticed them first and hurried over.
Others did not put down their work immediately.
Instead, choose to finish what you need to do first.
Then, one by one, they stopped and looked over.
"Tan Mo?" Everyone's eyes were fixed on the little girl next to Professor Gu.
The little girl was fair and clean, and her clothes were not ostentatious.
Ordinary jeans with holes on both knees.
But everyone present, whether boys or girls, had a few holes in their jeans.
The top is a short-sleeved shirt with white background and floral patterns, with drawstrings on the cuffs and in the middle of the front.
When the rope was pulled, wrinkles appeared, revealing a short section of the waist.
The orange-red floral patterns make her skin look whiter and the floral patterns look more vibrant.
Although only a small section is exposed, it is like a glimpse of a stunning beauty.
"Let me introduce him to you all." Professor Gu walked in with a smile. "From now on, Tan Mo will join our team and work with us to complete the compilation and translation of ancient documents."
Professor Gu waited for a while, intending to wait for someone to raise objections before taking out the books translated by Tan Mo.
As a result, everyone just looked at Tan Mo with curiosity as if they were looking at a panda, and no one raised any objections.
At this time, a girl finally raised her hand.
Tan Mo took a look and saw that it was the senior sister who had just taken a piece of paper from the whiteboard.
"Professor," the girl said, "Senior Sister Wang said that you gave Tan Mo some of the contents of the Liye Qin Bamboo Slips to translate, and only brought her here after she approved it. So you brought her here today, does that mean she has already completed it?"
Professor Gu smiled and glanced at Wang Yuemu.
"I was wondering why the little guys were so nice today and not so arrogant anymore. It turns out you explained it to them in advance." Otherwise, some people would definitely not accept it.
"Since Tan Mo is joining, we will all be partners in the future, so it's better for us to get along happily and work together. If there are frictions at the beginning, even if everything is explained clearly later, if there is still a gap in people's hearts, it will not be good for everyone's work." Wang Yuemu explained.
Professor Gu smiled and nodded.
Wang Yuemu has prestige and a say in this team.
He was attracted by the fact that Wang Yuemu would devote herself wholeheartedly to anything related to academic research and would try her best to eliminate anything that was not conducive to her work.
With Wang Yuemu around, their team has become more united.
