Chapter 62: Dog Thief, Look at the Sword
"Report."
"Why are you late again?"
"I……"
"stomachache?"
"this?"
"Is it still a headache this time?"
"No, no, this time I don't have a stomachache or a headache."
"Then why are you late?"
"Head teacher, this is what happened. When I was on the road just now, I saw an old grandmother who was inconvenient to move around. As a new generation of high school students who respect the old and love the young, the teacher taught us to help the old grandma cross the road since we were young."
Unfortunately.
Although yesterday he was talking about not being late today and not being late today, Chen Yu was still late.
After using all the reasons for being late, Chen Yu even used the trick of helping the grandma cross the road.
Naturally, for reasons like this, let alone the head teacher, other students in the class didn't believe it, and burst into laughter.
The head teacher Liu Fangting glared at Chen Yu. But he secretly thought in his heart that the phone call didn't work before, it seems that I have to go to this kid's house sometime.
"come in."
"Wait, you go to the podium and translate what we are going to talk about today about Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin."
Wanting to embarrass Chen Yu, Liu Fangting asked Chen Yu to translate a piece of classical Chinese on the podium.
"Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin."
Chen Yu frowned.
This lesson was taught just today, so you asked me to translate, so you didn't embarrass me.
However, fortunately, Chen Yu also learned this text in his previous life, and he still remembers it.
After thinking about it, Chen Yu organized his own language and began to translate: "After the Qin State defeated the Zhao State, it began to go north, and was about to reach the Yan State's territory. The Prince Dan of the Yan State was very afraid, so he found his thug Jing Ke. …”
"Wait, thug?"
"Yes."
"You said that Jing Ke was Prince Dan's thug?"
"Is not it?"
Chen Yu nodded.
"Well, okay, you go on."
Liu Fangting wanted to say that Jing Ke was a disciple of Prince Dan, so how could he be a thug?
Just think about it carefully, in fact, the doormen are similar to the thugs, and they basically serve the nobles.
It is not too much for Chen Yu to call Jing Ke a thug.
"Well, Crown Prince Dan found his thug and said to Jing Ke, although I want to pay you wages every day, but Qin is about to hit us, and the wages will not be paid in the future."
"salary?"
Liu Fangting was stunned: "When did the salary come?"
"It seems there is."
"Clearly what Crown Prince Dan said is that although he wants to serve for a long time, how can he be paid?"
"Oh, Mr. Liu, [Although I want to serve my feet for a long time] is Prince Dan's honorific. In fact, they have to pay salaries to raise thugs. If Prince Dan doesn't pay Jing Ke a salary, will Jing Ke still defect to Prince Dan? Since Prince Dan gives Jing Ke has paid his salary, so Jing Ke will do something for the boss, Prince Dan. Then, when Prince Dan, who is the boss, asks Jing Ke to do business, he first declares that if you receive my salary, you have to do it for me. It's just that, Prince Dan is embarrassed to say it so clearly, so he uses the honorific [although he wants to serve his feet for a long time], it's strange that he can serve."
"Okay, you go on."
Liu Fangting was a little confused by what Chen Yu said, but after thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense.
How could Prince Dan be so respectful to his disciples and serve them? It was obviously a polite remark.
"And then, Jing Ke was embarrassed to get his salary every day, so he said, "Okay, I'll kill King Qin for you."
"Destroy King Qin?"
Liu Fangting wanted to say something, but opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.
Although this is blunt, it cannot be said that the translation is wrong.
However, Liu Fangting didn't say anything, but everyone in the class burst into laughter due to Chen Yu's translation.
"Destroy the King of Qin,
Hahahahahahaha. "
"What's this, Chen Yu said before that he would be paid."
"Niubi, I didn't expect Chen Yu to be so humorous."
Even Lu Xue, who has always been unsmiling, was smirked by Chen Yu's translation.
"This guy, I didn't expect to be so funny."
Translation continues.
Chen Yu didn't remember what the original text of "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" was, so he said it wherever he thought of it according to his own ideas.
"However, although it is not easy to get rid of King Qin, Jing Ke said to Prince Yan that I have no token, so it is difficult to approach King Qin. If I want to approach King Qin, I have a way."
"Prince Dan asked what to do?"
"Jing Ke said, you took General Fan in. King Qin hated this man very much, and he even offered a reward of 1,000 gold to get his head. If I could take General Fan's head to see King Qin, King Qin would definitely summon me. But Prince Dan shook his head and said, "General Fan has defected to me, how can I betray him. Jing Ke didn't speak, and then said in his heart, you don't want to be a bad person, then I'll be a bad person. So Jing Ke went to see General Fan himself. …”
Liu Fangting looked at the textbook and listened carefully to Chen Yu's translation.
Then nodded.
This kid is smart and has a unique talent for literature.
His translation is not wrong.
Although there is no such translation word by word, such translation is the highest level.
This is called "free translation" in translation.
The most expressive meaning of the original text is actually a "free translation".
However, Chen Yu didn't think that he was a free translation or something, and he continued to translate it.
He was only telling the story of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin.
At this time, Chen Yu said that Jing Ke took Qin Wuyang to see the King of Qin.
"That Qin Wuyang was said to have murdered when he was twelve years old, and it was rumored to be very powerful. But as soon as he saw King Qin, his thighs trembled. Jing Ke secretly thought, my sister, was killed by this pig teammate. So he said, Qin Wuyang is a countryman and has never seen the big market before, so he was afraid when he saw the emperor. Then he went to personally, when King Qin opened the drawing, Jing Ke knew that the opportunity was coming, and he shouted, dog thief, look at the sword..."
A piece of classical Chinese, just like this, the whole translation ends in Chen Yu's nonsense.
At this time, the whole class had already laughed heartily.
Even the head teacher Liu Fangting couldn't help laughing several times.
If she hadn't cared about her teacher's image, I'm afraid Liu Fangting would have cried out with laughter.
"Okay, go back."
"Thank you Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, what do you think of the translation?"
"The translation is not bad."
"Since it's not bad, so what, let's forget about being late this time, what do you think?"
"Oh, you also made a deal with the teacher."
"Mr. Liu, promise to never be late again."
"Go back quickly. If you don't go back, I'll go to your house to meet your parents in a while."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Chen Yu stopped being long-winded and quickly returned to the table.
"Hey hey classmate, you're going to die of laughing at me today."
"Student Lululu, you actually look pretty when you smile."
"Hmm, where are you looking?"
"I didn't see anything..."
"You rascal, look again, look again and gouge out your eyeballs."
"Go, go, don't watch, don't watch, so domineering."
Chen Yu pouted, opened the textbook, and listened carefully.
