"Oh, it's rare to see a young man as studious as you. These two books are professional books that most people can't understand. If you can understand them, it means your level is not low!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said modestly: "No, I just like to play with these machines. When I see foreign books, I want to buy them back and read them."
The person in charge stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "My name is Li Guangwen, and I am the person in charge of this bookstore. If you need any books in the future, just come to me. By the way, I wonder if you are not interested in translation? We often have them here. Information needs translation.”
When Zhou Ziwen heard this, his eyes lit up: "Translation? I'm interested! My English is not bad, you can try it."
In fact, his English is not very good. He can understand some ordinary books but not some professional books.
For example, he couldn't quite understand the two English versions of mechanical design books he bought.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, he has a hang-up panel! He has so many hang-up slots, and it’s no problem to speak English on hang-up.
During this time, he added one more on-hook slot, and now has twenty-four on-hook slots.
In addition, various skills have also been greatly improved.
For example, psychology is now at level seven.
This skill is very useful. It allows you to better understand the thoughts and behaviors of others, and is more convenient when communicating with villagers and educated youth.
Of course, the most important thing is to be able to communicate better with little Yueyue.
After all, little Yueyue can't speak yet. If you want to understand her thoughts, you need to judge by her expressions, movements and other subtleties, and psychological skills have made Zhou Ziwen more sensitive in this regard.
He can accurately capture whether little Yueyue is hungry, sleepy or wants to play, and can give her an appropriate response in time. This makes little Yueyue feel extremely at ease and happy, and also enhances the relationship between father and daughter. .
Because of psychology, little Yueyue likes to stay with him the most.
In this regard, even Chen Qiaoyi cannot compare.
In addition, he also upgraded Shaolin Boxing to the full level, which improved his martial arts literacy again and provided him with many ideas and ideas for continuing to improve Hunyuan Shentong Boxing.
Finally, there are skills in mechanical maintenance. Mechanical maintenance reaches level nine, and electrical maintenance and electrical appliance maintenance reach level eight.
Soon, these skills will reach full level, and by then, it will be easier to repair the tractor.
Hearing Zhou Ziwen's answer, Li Guangwen was very happy: "That's great! We happen to have a batch of English materials that need to be translated. I wonder if Comrade Zhou can help?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen nodded: "Of course, I'm happy to help."
Of course Zhou Ziwen would be happy to have the opportunity to make extra money.
And working as a translator for a bookstore, the money is earned openly and can withstand investigation.
"It will take some time to translate these materials. You can take them back and read them first, and then send them back after they are translated."
Li Guangwen handed the information to Zhou Ziwen and said at the same time, "The cost of translation is calculated based on the number of words, and you will not suffer any loss."
Zhou Ziwen took the information, looked at it, and found that it was not very difficult. He could translate it at his current level. Thinking about it, Li Guangwen was still a little uneasy about him. This was to let him test the waters first!
"Okay, I will translate it when I get back. I will send it to you after the translation is completed."
"Thank you very much, Comrade Zhou." Li Guangwen said happily.
The two chatted for a few more words before Zhou Ziwen left the bookstore.
Zhou Ziwen was in a good mood with the newly purchased books and materials.
This trip to the county has been fruitful! Not only did I buy the books I needed, I also received a part-time job as a translator. After translating these materials, you can earn a good income.
Originally, he was planning to go to the scrap recycling bin to have a look, but after taking over the translation job, he was also ready to do it well.
It's getting late now, so I won't go. It won't be too late to go when I come to the county next time.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen thought of Li Guangwen, the person in charge of the bookstore.
He didn't expect that the person in charge was so easy to talk to that he would dare to leave the translation job to him when the two met for the first time.
But Zhou Ziwen also knew that this was because he could understand English.
In this era, there are too few people who understand English.
And Li Guangwen also said that bookstores often have materials that need to be translated, so he wants to ask Zhou Ziwen to take over this job on a long-term basis!
Zhou Ziwen was a little happy, someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep! He was worried about how to make money openly in the future, but unexpectedly the opportunity came.
According to Li Guangwen, there are levels of translation, such as translator, translator, senior translator, etc.
The things translated at each level are different. For example, Zhou Ziwen is now taking on the job of a translator.
Generally, they are simple content such as magazines and newspapers, and the difficulty is relatively low.
This is exactly what Zhou Ziwen wants. His English level is actually not very high. In terms of skill level, it is only level three.
【English LV3】(58/300)
But he has already mastered this skill, and as time goes by, his English will only get better and better.
Before long, he will be able to translate more complex and specialized materials.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen put away the books he bought, and then picked up the information Li Guangwen gave him and started reading.
The content of the information is half of the industrial journals published by Meiliguo. It is not too difficult. Zhou Ziwen can barely translate it with his current English level.
It seems that Comrade Li Guangwen is really anxious to find someone! He dared to hand over such important information to himself during their first meeting.
If it were anyone else, I'd probably have to think about it, right? After all, this is a confidential matter.
But Zhou Ziwen also understands Li Guangwen's approach. Why are there so few people who understand English now? He can only treat the dead horse as a live doctor.
I hope Zhou Ziwen will not disappoint him! What Zhou Ziwen didn't know was that Li Guangwen had a nickname in the county called "Li Dadan".
He is really courageous and dares to think and do.
This time, there was really no other way, so I had to "go to the doctor in a hurry".
If he knew Zhou Ziwen's true level, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so trusting.
Of course, this is only temporary. After a month or two, his English level will change dramatically.
Zhou Ziwen sat at the table, opened the industrial journal information, and began to translate it word for word.
Chen Qiaoyi was full of curiosity when she saw that Zhou Ziwen had been busy with a bunch of English materials since he came back.
She walked gently to Zhou Ziwen, placed a cup of steaming tea on the table, then tilted her head and asked: "Brother Ziwen, what are you doing? Do you understand these dense English words?"< br>
Zhou Ziwen raised his head, looked at Chen Qiaoyi, smiled, and explained simply: "Qiaoyi, this is the translation job I took from the county bookstore. The bookstore owner gave me these English materials and asked me to translate them into Chinese. Although it seems a bit difficult now, it’s okay to spend more time.”(End of Chapter)
