Chapter 123 It’s really different if there is a relationship
Fan Lili flipped through two more pages and couldn’t stand it anymore, so she summed it up: “Comrade Wen Wan, this time the translation of the science and technology magazine is unqualified and cannot be adopted. This book The money for magazine translation cannot be settled. There is no big problem with the other book. You can go to the finance department to settle it."
Wen Wan blushed and said bravely: "Sorry, editor, here it is. You're causing trouble, then I'll take it back, look it up in the dictionary, and translate it again."
Because she has been out at sea every day for the past two days, her translation was not done well.
The hateful thing is that yesterday she found that the sun had gone down and she couldn’t find the red coral either.
She knew that it was not Zhou Chenglei's turn to go to sea today, so she rushed out the translator last night and sent it over. She was not prepared, and that was why she was like this.
“No need!” Fan Lili refused directly.
The most important thing for science and technology magazines is rigor. How can we be messy?
Her translation was not rigorous and detailed enough and had many errors.
“Does Chief Fan have any other books that he wants to translate?”
Fan Lili picked two novels from a pile of original English books: "These two books cost twenty yuan each. You can translate them and send them over."
Wen Wan's English level is pretty good. , at least compared to many people, she is pretty good. There are not many people who understand English. Many scientific and technological words are new words, so it is normal for her not to understand them.
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it did not affect her translation of other books, she took it with a smile: "Thank you, editor-in-chief, I will definitely translate it carefully before sending it over, then I will go back first."
"Yes." Fan Lili glanced at her watch. It was fifteen minutes until the end of the day at twelve o'clock.
Wen Wan glanced at her watch, it was a Rolex.
In this life, her goal is to be like the chief editor, sitting in such a big office, managing dozens of people, wearing a world-famous brand, looking beautiful and dashing.
Wen Wan walked out holding two books and saw three people standing there.
The first thing she saw was the editor-in-chief's niece. Just as she was about to say hello with a decent smile, she saw her turn around and hold Jiang Xia's arm, "Xia Xia, let's go! I'll introduce you to my aunt."
Is it Jiangxia again? As gentle as falling into an ice cave!
Why is she everywhere? ! !
I hate it when I see it.
Zhang Fuyan knocked on the wooden door, and then walked in: "Auntie, I brought Comrade Xiao Xia and her lover here!"
Jiang Xia greeted politely: "Hello. "
Fan Lili stood up and said with a smile: "Welcome, please take a seat."
Fan Lili walked out of the large desk, walked to the coffee table and sofa in front of her, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please. Sit down!”
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei sat down side by side on the couch.
Zhang Fuyan sat on the single sofa and smiled: "Aunt, Xia Xia has already translated a book. See if I am exaggerating!"
Fan Lili smiled helplessly. .
Jiang Xia took out the French book she translated, handed it to the other party with both hands, and said with a smile: "Editor Fan, take a look."
Jiang Xia just saw something on the door of the office The house number says Editor Fan.
Fan Lili was surprised when she saw it was this book. This book was a bit thick and difficult. How could it be translated so quickly?
I don’t know how good the translation is.
She took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Then let me take a look first."
Fan Lili is also a person who knows several languages. Otherwise, she would not be able to be the editor-in-chief. She relies on her The ability to reach this position does not rely on family connections.
Fan Lili opened the book translated by Jiang Xia and was amazed by her handwriting at first sight!
It is very neat and tidy, each character is the same size and the strokes are neat. It is not a printed font but it is as standard as printed.
This font is a bit like regular script. Regular script written with a pen is very beautiful for reading.
She did not read the content, but casually browsed through the entire translation.
There is not a single typo on every page I turn to. Seriously, if this notebook didn't have lines on it, I could just copy this notebook and make a book without typesetting!
“Comrade Xiaoxia’s handwriting is so good!” Fan Lili couldn’t help but praise her sincerely.
Jiang Xia smiled.
Fan Lili started reading the translated content from the first page, and was amazed by the writing style at the beginning!
Translation is also about writing style. Some people translate the same sentence in a straightforward manner, while others can bring a bit of poetry.
So if the same original document is given to each translator, the translated books will be different.
Zhang Fulan couldn't wait to ask: "Aunt, is Xia Xia a good translator?"
Fan Lili closed the book after reading a few pages, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, translation Very good!"
Then she said to Jiang Xia: "It's very good! No wonder Yanyan praised you so much! If it wasn't for the time, I would have read it all in one sitting. "
Jiang Xia smiled: "I'm glad to get your approval and not to embarrass Yanyan. "
Fan Lili took out her wallet from her bag and counted ten cards to hand over. He gave it to Jiang Xia and said with a smile: "This is the royalties for this book, one hundred yuan."
To be honest, one hundred yuan, she originally gave it to Yanyan as a family price, and wanted to give her niece a little more pocket money. So that day when she heard Yanyan offer Jiang Xia one hundred copies, she even scolded her niece. But today, Fan Lili felt that Jiang Xia's translation was worth the hundred yuan!
Wen Wan did not leave. She stood outside and heard that a book cost a hundred yuan. She couldn't help but take a sneak peek. That book was not as thick as the two books in her hand!
Related households are really different!
Jiang Xia took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Editor Fan."
"You are Yanyan's friend, why are you so out of sight? Just call me Aunt Fan from now on. You can also speak English Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“I have a few English science and technology magazines here, and I’m in a hurry. Can you see if you can translate them?”
Jiang Xia responded: "Okay, I'll take a look first."
Zhang Furyan ran over with great discernment and picked up all the magazines on the desk.
Fan Lili directly gave all five magazines to Jiang Xia: "They are all more academic magazines, which are more difficult. There are many professional terms and vocabulary, and you may need to consult a lot of information to ensure that the translation is 100% accurate. You translate this magazine Okay, sixty yuan a copy.”
Wen Wan couldn't help but grit her teeth after hearing this. Editor Fan only gave her fifty yuan for a copy.
Having a relationship is different!
But she couldn't translate this technology magazine well. She didn't believe Jiang Xia could translate it well. I even passed CET-4 in College English in my previous life! Jiang Xia was a short-lived person who died of domestic violence in her previous life. What could she compare to herself?
Jiang Xia opened a book and read it, and she understood clearly. The contents of the science and technology magazines of this era were not difficult for her. "Okay, I will translate one first. When the time comes, I'll bring it here for you to see."
"Okay!" She glanced at her watch. It was time to get off work, and she said with a smile: "Let's go eat first."
Jiang Xia said with a smile. : "We already had it before we came here."
Fan Lili felt a little pity after hearing this. She also wanted to have a good chat with Jiang Xia and recruit her to work in the publishing house.
She heard from her niece that she not only knew French, but also several languages. It was really hard to find such a talent.
She smiled and said: "That's it. Let's make an appointment for dinner next time you come over, and we can play with Yanyan at my house from now on."
Jiang Xia only treated it as polite words and said with a smile: " OK.”
After hearing this, Wen Wan knew they were leaving and left quickly.
Then Jiang Xia also said goodbye and left, and soon she walked out of the publishing house with Zhou Chenglei with a smile on her face.
The sun was a bit strong at noon, so Jiang Xia quickly picked up the straw hat hanging on the bicycle and put it on.
Zhou Chenglei put a few magazines in the bicycle basket, picked up the sleeves, took Jiang Xia's hand and put it on her.
At this time, a black car passed by on the highway and suddenly stopped.
