Chapter 348, two chapters, wonderful!
Dibo and Xiao Wei'an basically watched "One Night Genius" at the same time. The latter, as a translator, is more familiar with history.
Diebo was therefore delighted when he saw the timeline. The date of the storming of the Bastille was July 14, 1789, while the timeline of the work was April 25, 1792, less than three years apart.
“He is a genius at writing customized articles...” Dibo came back to his senses and felt that he had praised him too early and couldn’t open the champagne at the beginning.
What Xiao Wei'an thought more about was the background of the story in the book, which was the time when the French Revolution shook Europe. The feudal monarchs of Europe were timid and formed an alliance, preparing to extinguish the red flames.
"It's a magnificent node. It can be said to be the node that determines the fate of France. It's just a genius overnight... Does it refer to a certain political figure? Or something else?" Xiao Wei'an was entrusted by a friend, and he took it seriously. Look at the bridge of his nose. It can be seen from the reading glasses he is wearing.
When I was in Gu Lu High School, the politics teacher who didn’t remember his name said this. Due to loose skin in old age, people who are not nearsighted will develop farsightedness (presbyopia). Therefore, myopia can actually be offset... I don't know if there is any scientific basis, but Gu Lu is willing to believe so. People believe what they want to believe.
Telling about war - Xiao Wei'an found that the author can show the war, or have a clear understanding of the war. The country launched a war propaganda machine, and the big squares were filled with cheers.
["Will foreign soldiers kill my children?" Farmers in all countries around the world are worried about their property, their farmland, their houses...]
It wasn't until Baron Dietrich, the municipal executive of the rule, called a young captain and saw the name Rouge de Lisle that Xiao Wei'an understood whose story "One Night Genius" was about. And the Frenchman Dibault saw the lyrics that appeared in the story: Go forward, citizens, rise up quickly, a glorious day is waiting for you! Look, the tyrant is raising a blood-stained flag against us...
Marseillaise? Dibo was startled. It was actually a story about Marseillaise? Completely unexpected.
As a Frenchman, Dibo is as familiar with "March of the Volunteers" as every Chinese. He knew that the original name of Marseillaise was "March of the Rhine Army", and that when it was born, it was as unknown as its songwriter.
“The real orchestra accompaniment of this song is clanging weapons, strong trumpets, and a team marching in unison. It is not for listeners who sit indifferently and enjoy comfort, but for co-walkers and co-workers. "It was created for the combatants."
This is why no one cares about it. It was sung to a group of ladies and gentlemen in the baron's social salon. The singer is the Baroness, a very skilled soprano.
"God, this is not the place it should exist." Dibo couldn't help but sigh. Please forgive him for being emotional. It is normal for Parisians to show their emotions.
But fortunately, two or three months later, on the other side of France, a 500-strong workers' revolutionary team in the Club de la Constitution sang this song.
Most of the five hundred people do not know anyone, but the enemy has penetrated deep into the heart of the motherland!
Five hundred people are workers and college students, and they can’t even name each other, but the cause of freedom is in danger!
A person sang this new song that was released two or three months ago.
Like a spark lighting up a powder keg, one after another sang along.
They will set off tomorrow and fight for their motherland.
"What are these traitors and the king harboring? Who are these damn shackles going to be worn on? Who are they going to wear them on? French people, wear them on us! This is such a shame and indignation. ! It is unbearable to push mankind back to the slave age! What! These foreign devils dominate our hometown! What! Our noble warriors..." Dibo couldn't hold back and sang loudly.
You must know that he is currently in the ambassador's office. There are guards at the door and hear the movement inside. He subconsciously wants to find out what is going on. However, he hears a familiar melody and is also affected by a wave of energy coming from his soul and every cell. Controlled by the power, they also sang along. Of course, his voice was very low. After all, he was still on guard, and his professionalism was weighing on him.
The guards only need to stand guard, but Ambassador Dibo has more to think about and howls loudly in the office.
Staring at the computer screen, he seemed to be integrated with the team of college workers who set out from Marseille two hundred years ago.
Whenever the pace gets tired, sing it.
Whenever the momentum becomes flagging, sing it.
The March of the Rhine Army was then called Marseillaise.
Dibo couldn't hold it back, but Xiao Wei'an did. Translation is also creation. Therefore, perhaps as the same creator, he lamented Rouge's fate even more.
La Marseillaise inspired people all over France. Rouge wrote it in one night. The book says that that night he had the talent of God, surpassing Molière, surpassing Racine, and surpassing Voltaire!
"There is no event that does not end with the Marseillaise, and there is no victory without the Marseillaise being sung in unison, but no one pays attention to the creator, Rouge."
Xiao Wei'an sighed. It is precisely because of his understanding that he knows that what this article says is not a lie.
[If Rouge had really been executed at that time, he would have died a heroic death and not be as miserable as he was later. Because the unfortunate Rouge lived for more than forty years and spent thousands of days, but only that one day in his life was truly creative. ]
"What a cruel evaluation, so..." Xiao Weian wanted to refute it, but he found that he could not refute it at all.
Because Rouge tried to write other poems and plays, but without exception all submissions failed. According to the manuscripts handed down, the level is indeed average. Therefore, until his death, Rouge did not enjoy the glory of Marseillaise, and even hid in Tibet because of debts.
When a creator sees this kind of treatment from another creator who has created miracles, his heart will definitely be touched. "In this way, the extremely unknown author of an immortal song finally rests in the honorary cemetery of the motherland that disappointed him - as a unique poet of one night."
See the end , Xiao Weian let out a sigh of relief.
The ending is that Rouge has been dead for a long time. By the time of World War I, Marseillaise had become the French national anthem. The song rang out again on the battlefield and on the streets. In order to inspire the soldiers on the front line, the senior officials remembered the creator, the little captain. Move his grave and bury him in the Invalides.
"Genius! Let me just say, I want to drink champagne to celebrate after watching the beginning. There is no problem at all." Dibo was happy.
This article is no less impressive than giant pandas!
“I haven’t written an article for several years, but I created such a wonderful article as soon as I came out. Wait, what’s next?”
While Dibo was happy, he discovered that files opened with Microsoft Office , there is more content behind.
"The New Great Wall"
"A new article? The background of the incident is the Chinese Republic period?"
Only then did Dibo realize that Gu Lu had actually written two articles.
As you read on, the article begins with the refugees fleeing to the Magic City, but on the Huangpu River, you can see the sight of neon marines conducting exercises on warships.
The writing style is very similar to the "One Night Genius" that Dibo just finished reading. It is restrained at most moments, but occasionally the text is very dazzling, such as the nobles standing in front of the mobilization and the reaction of the peasants.
[This is the last train driven by the Chinese from the three eastern provinces, full of wounded soldiers and refugees (Get up, people who don’t want to be slaves, build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood, the Chinese nation At the most dangerous time)...]
"It turns out that this is how the national anthem of China appeared -" Dibo finished reading another novel. Although he did not sing along like before, he was deeply shocked. On the significance and shock of "March of the Volunteers".
"In times of danger, use singing to bring strength to everyone. Mr. Tian Han and Nie Er, like Lu Ghe, are patriotic geniuses."
Dibo didn't know until then that the national anthem of China was actually The theme song of a movie from the 1930s. The movie "Children of the Storm" was shot for the purpose of resisting Japan and saving the nation, so the content is about fighting and resistance. And what Tian Han and Nie Er saw and heard in reality in the last century - China was shattered! The neon is like a worm, bit by bit eating away at the mulberry leaves next to it. So when I knew I wanted to write a theme song for the Children of the Storm, I wrote this song based on what I saw and heard, as well as my own fighting spirit.
The scene at the beginning is a movie scene. "The New Great Wall" simultaneously describes the content of the movie and the real situation of the country. The intersection and overlap of the two create this song. China in the movie and in reality The nation gave its final roar.
"Brave the enemy's artillery fire, advance! Brave the enemy's artillery fire, advance!" Dibo looked at these two lyrics, from the description in the article, to what he himself learned about the modern history of China... The lyrics are not exaggerations, but realistic descriptions.
“No wonder our friendship between France and China lasts forever. We have experienced the same thing. The country has experienced the Great Revolution before it stood in the middle of the world again. The Marseillaise and the March of the Volunteers are both immortal. Famous song!" Although Dibo still prefers Marseillaise, he will always be proud of the blue, white and red flag. But he's also willing to acknowledge another piece as a classic.
As soon as Dibo finished his muttering, the phone rang. Not the office landline, but his personal phone.
Caller——Xiao Wei'an.
The purpose of Xiao Wei'an's call was also very simple, that is, whether "The New Great Wall" should be translated together.
Dibo apologized first, after all, the promised article turned into two.
"Don't be sorry, both are wonderful articles." Xiao Wei'an said, "There are two Great Walls in China, one is the Great Wall that can be climbed now, and I have also been to the Badaling Great Wall. One is in every In the hearts of Chinese people, the Great Wall of flesh and blood is unattainable. The author was more emotionally involved when writing the second article, so the wording used in the second article is worse than that of the first article, but the abundant emotion is enough to cover up everything."
After saying the beginning, Xiao Wei'an talked about the main reason for this phone call, "I can translate this kind of article, but my suggestion is to find a Chinese person with French knowledge to translate it."
March of the Volunteers and La Marseillaise exchange meeting, such a meeting must be organized, otherwise wouldn’t these two articles be in vain? Dibo had already started thinking in his mind.
He said: "Sir, you are a professional. We have to follow the advice of professionals."
That's no problem. Xiao Wei'an and Dibo hung up the phone without greetings, because they were right For both of them, it was working time and there was no need to chat.
As soon as he hung up, Dibo started talking to Director Zhao on the phone. Bring out the efficiency.
