Chapter 471: Unfair
Although the regular sentences are quite standard, it is still an improvement compared to the beginning.
A few typos in the Chinese translation are harmless.
But for words that are slightly more like professional terms, what are their translations like?
Antibiotics can be translated into resistance to life.
It is understandable that novices are not familiar with key terms such as extracurricular professional terms.
However, when translating content, it is most basic to consider the context and check whether the sentences are abrupt or coherent.
“Tsk…”
Teacher Tan let out a breath.
After reading a few pages of manuscript, she breathed heavily and frowned.
After shaking the manuscript paper for a while, Teacher Tan thought of something, relaxed his brows, stood up and walked out of the office.
After finding the right direction, he picked up a classmate and asked him to call Lu Miao.
"Teacher Tan."
When the others stood in front of him, Teacher Tan smiled for once, a rare moment.
Teacher Tan sorted out the manuscripts that Li Yue had just handed back on the table and piled them up, then handed them to Lu Miao:
"I heard that you've been translating manuscripts to supplement your family income. If you have time, please spare some time and show me the contents of these manuscripts."
Lu Miao took the manuscript and glanced at it briefly.
I originally wanted to ask Teacher Tan if she was anxious, but after thinking about it, she changed the subject:
"Teacher Tan, is this considered an assessment of whether I'm qualified?"
"That's understandable."
Teacher Tan nodded calmly and said, "Let me do a preliminary check on your foundation."
This is a stage that every newcomer must go through.
Lu Miao nodded in understanding, "Okay, I'll finish it as soon as possible today and give it to you."
The day after tomorrow is the weekend.
I didn’t go to the publishing house last week. If I don’t go this week, the manuscript deadline will exceed half a month.
Lu Miao didn't want to have so many things on his hands, so he thought of taking some time during his lunch break to finish these drafts.
Teacher Tan was surprised:
"Today? Are you sure?"
Lu Miao nodded and said thoughtfully:
"Probably after lunch break."
Lu Miao was used to reading books efficiently, so he didn't think it was too difficult to read three or five pages.
She said it with such certainty that Teacher Tan scratched his head for a rare moment:
"Okay, not impossible... But you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. If you can't finish it, you can do it slowly."
She does have classes at school in the afternoon.
"If you're done, put it in this drawer. I'll pick it up before class this afternoon."
"good."
Lu Miao responded calmly, bowed slightly, and left the office calmly.
In the office, Teacher Tan looked suspicious:
"I can finish translating at least 3,000 words in just a 90-minute lunch break? Is that true?"
Teacher Tan shook his head and discovered some clues.
The people recommended by Director Ma either have some problems here or there.
Since we haven't left the campus yet, I can understand it.
Anyway, let's take a look at the situation first.
We'll see how to guide or teach them when the time comes.
Teacher Tan shook his head, packed up and left the office.
…
During the afternoon break, Lu Miao cleaned up his desk and took out the manuscript paper that was clipped with a clip.
He carefully filled the pen with ink, and then started working on the manuscript and the manuscript paper.
After reading the manuscript several times, Lu Miao basically memorized the contents.
As she translated, she read a few lines at a glance, the tip of her pen ticking constantly.
Only when I come across a longer sentence will I pause for a moment, read it carefully several times silently, and confirm how to translate it in a less abrupt and better way before I continue to write and draw.
In the classroom, everyone is either taking a nap or reading quietly.
The sound of her flipping through the manuscript was very obvious. Li Yue, who was standing diagonally behind her, heard the noise and unconsciously looked up.
Just that one glance and Li Yue froze.
Is it her illusion?
The more she read those pages of manuscript, the more familiar they seemed.
Aren’t they the pages that Teacher Tan gave her before?
Could it be that Teacher Tan also gave Lu Miao a copy?
So what does that mean now?
Is Teacher Tan comparing her to Lu Miao?
Li Yue shuddered, and when cold sweat broke out on her back, she clenched her palms.
This is totally unfair!
Lu Miao's grades were the best, and she compared herself to her...
There is no advantage at all!
No, no, no...
Not necessarily. What if it’s a misunderstanding?
Talking about teachers...
It's still good for her.
Li Yue forced herself to calm down, but she was still uneasy and worried.
Li Yue was on pins and needles for most of the lunch break.
After finally waiting for the get out of class to end, Lu Miao packed up his things and walked out.
Li Yue hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
The teacher's office has two doors, the front door is close to the stairs, and the back door is on the other side of the same wall.
People usually enter through the nearest door, and the back door is always bolted.
Lu Miao took the manuscript paper and entered through the main door near the stairs.
Li Yue was worried about being discovered, so she went around to the back door and looked inside through the gap in the door.
Lu Miao put his things away and left quickly.
Instead of returning to the classroom, Lu Miao met some familiar female classmates at the stairs. He chatted and laughed with them and made an appointment to go to the bathroom together.
After they walked away, Li Yue walked out from the back door with a gloomy face.
Li Yue pursed her lips.
Talking about teachers...
Teacher Tan clearly knew that Lu Miao's grades were far better than hers.
After giving the translation manuscript to her, why should he give it to Lu Miao?
Is it a coincidence or intentional?
Li Yue's thoughts leaned more towards the latter.
Not everyone can get such an opportunity like her.
But just as Teacher Tan said, it remains to be seen whether she can finally seize and hold on to the opportunity.
If she wants to truly join the Guoying Society and stay there in the future, then there can only be one between her and Lu Miao.
Li Yue clenched her fists and stepped into the desk.
Li Yue's heart was beating like a drum. She walked towards Teacher Tan's desk, her pupils widened nervously, and she pulled open the drawer with force.
She saw it.
Lu Miao put the manuscript in the desk drawer!
Li Yue was flipping through the pages in a hurry and didn't notice someone coming in through the office door.
Teacher Tan frowned and slowly approached, knocking on the desks of other teachers along the way with his knuckles:
"classmate?"
Li Yue's scalp exploded, a chill ran from the soles of her feet to her back, and she suddenly stood up straight:
"T-Teacher Tan!"
Seeing that it was Li Yue, Teacher Tan's frown relaxed a little and continued walking towards the desk:
"It's Li Yue, what's wrong? Are you looking for something?"
“No, no.”
Li Yue shook her head and suddenly jumped away from the office:
"Yes, it's Lu Miao. She asked me to deliver something."
Li Yue smiled stiffly and staggered towards the door:
"Teacher Tan, I've put your things in the drawer. Class will start soon, so I'm going to the bathroom first!"
Teacher Tan nodded, walked to the desk, and opened the second row of drawers that he had agreed with Lu Miao in advance.
Sure enough, I saw a thin stack of manuscript paper with neat handwriting inside.
"Is the translation really finished? Is that true?"
Teacher Tan unscrewed the cap of the can, blew away the tea leaves floating on the surface, and picked up the manuscript paper.
He leaned over in his chair and started browsing.
