Chapter 211 Financial Forum 2-Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
On the first day of the forum, the things needed were not the most complicated.
But even so, Lin Shu came back at 9:30 in the evening, and Wen Yan still rushed to hand in all the information to the teacher for review before 11 o'clock.
Sitting in the small living room of the suite, Wen Yan sat upright, glancing at the teacher's expression from time to time. Well, he couldn't see anything, so it should be okay, right?
Lin Shu had a blank expression on his face, but he was extremely surprised in his heart. This student really gave him a great surprise.
The information she gave him was not just dead knowledge from books, but also the knowledge she gained from following him around and attending so many social events over the past two days.
You have to know that none of the parties he took her to in the past two days were wasted, and most of the participants shared the key points of this forum.
This girl is indeed smart. His original idea was to master the knowledge in the materials, but this has already exceeded his expectations.
She didn't expect this kid to be so capable. You know, when he attended parties, the topics he talked about were all areas that she might have never touched before.
It seems that she really puts in a lot of effort after coming back every day, and her memory is also good.
Lin Shu was right. Wen Yan followed him as a background wall. When she heard words that she didn't understand at all, she became more and more serious. Every day when she returned to the hotel, she would hold a notebook until she figured out and understood all the sentences that she didn't understand that day.
But as a teacher who is dedicated to preventing students from being too proud, how could he praise her so easily? So he said lightly.
"It's OK, but your economic acumen is still a little lacking. You should study this aspect more. Your word choice is not concise enough, which is a common problem for English learners in our country.
However, without having lived and studied in a language-speaking country, or having extensive experience, it's almost impossible to overcome this problem through textbooks and electronic devices. So don't worry, go back and rest, go to bed early today, and we'll officially start tomorrow."
It was impossible to go to bed early, so Wen Yan continued to study the information that he had not yet fully understood. In the end, he could not bear it anymore and fell asleep in a daze at some point.
The opening ceremony of the next day started at nine in the morning and they had to leave the hotel at eight. Wen Yan listened to the alarm clock that was making his head hurt and wanted to throw his phone away.
I took a deep breath and stayed in bed for a minute before waking myself up.
After washing up, I cheered myself up and put on some light makeup to cover up the dark circles under my eyes which had become extremely serious in just a few days.
She changed into a neat suit, tied her hair into a ponytail, and walked out of the room carrying a backpack.
Tian Zheng went to get breakfast in advance, and the teacher and student had a simple breakfast, a cup of coffee and two pieces of bread were enough.
Lin Shu was invited as a simultaneous interpreter for Chinese and English, but he was also famous for his French, and the common language of this conference was also English.
After arriving at the venue by car, I went directly to the simultaneous interpretation booth above the exhibition hall.
A large conference in one language will have two or three simultaneous interpreters working together. This is not a question of personal ability, but a professional requirement.
Simultaneous interpretation requires split-second thinking. Interpreters must instantly memorize a sentence, then immediately repeat it in the other language, forget it, and then memorize the next one. It's no exaggeration to say that this profession drains energy even more rapidly than most other manual labor.
Therefore, simultaneous interpretation is performed by two or three people in shifts, with each person taking turns every 15 to 20 minutes. Professional simultaneous interpreters rarely work continuously for more than half an hour. This is because the interpreters, sitting in their "boxes," must keep their ears, mouth, and brain moving and coordinated, and they lose their focus for longer than that.
Wen Yan also met Lin Shu's partner twice in the past two days.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang."
After the people in the box greeted Lin Shu, Wen Yan smiled and followed suit.
Jiang Yue nodded and smiled at her. In a few years, people in the simultaneous interpretation circle would probably hear about this person's reputation as a student of Lin Shu. People in the circle did not believe that Lin Shu would accept a mediocre person as his student.
Jiang Yue, who is in the simultaneous interpretation booth, is 32 years old and has eight years of experience in the industry. But normally, he should have "retired" in a few years.
Lin Shu is a rare person. The reason why he can still stand firm in the simultaneous interpretation circle is actually his talent, which allows him to not retire because of his lag in thinking even when he is old.
But despite this, Lin Shu only occasionally participated in large-scale domestic events, and at his age he could not support any larger conferences.
Some people say that simultaneous interpretation is like your life walking on the edge of a knife. Not only is it difficult for ordinary people to enter this industry, but even if they do enter, they can only eat "a job for their youth."
Simultaneous interpretation requires not only experience but also improvisation, full concentration, and the mobilization of all available language and knowledge. This is why simultaneous interpretation requires the collaboration of two or more people and the need for rotation. Even so, it's difficult to navigate this profession after age 35, and the challenges only increase with age.
After the meeting started, the large number of people left the simultaneous interpretation booth.
Maintain absolute silence while working.
Wen Yan was leaning on the railing outside the simultaneous interpretation booth, holding a notebook and looking at the booth below.
The forum lasted for a week. On the first day, Wen Yan was so exhausted from listening that he went home to work overtime at night.
I was still confused the next day, but after studying for a few days, I could understand some of it, but my eyes were still blurry and my head hurt.
On the third day, after yesterday's learning and progress, I had already gained a little confidence, but then I was hit again. I still understood it roughly, but today's content changed again.
After returning home at noon that day and having lunch with Lin Shu, Wen Yan locked herself in the room.
Lin Shu hadn't paid attention to her study progress in the past two days and ignored her, as if he had forgotten that she came here to study.
I looked at what I had written down and recorded this morning and started to review it again.
Regional prehensive Economic, labor resources, the ease of doing business, each word can be understood individually, but together they have another meaning.
Wen Yan listened to the recordings on his phone one after another, content that he did not understand at all. He had originally looked very serious, but after looking it up, he wrote down their meanings. After repeating it over and over again, his brain, which had been running at high speed for many days, finally collapsed.
The mobile phone in his hand was thrown far away by its owner in the blink of an eye.
At this time, its owner had put down everything in his hands, climbed onto the bed and covered himself with the quilt.
After a while, faint sobbing sounds were heard in the room.
