Chapter 271: The Real Language

Both Zhang Zian and Richard are extremely talented in the matter of manipulating people, especially Richard, who heard that his rare kindness made Little Celery laugh at him, so he was quite annoyed. Zhang Zian told it about what happened between Xiao Yile and his mother Gu Le at the door of the store. He said that he saved people with good intentions, but was beaten up by that brat. Gu Le, who didn't know the truth, believed the brat's lies. On the contrary, he thought Zhang Zi'an was sinister.

"Quack! My uncle agrees. If this brat doesn't teach him a lesson, he will definitely make a fool of himself in the future!" Richard felt the same way, "When my grandpa was hospitalized, there would always be some brats who wanted to grab me. The feathers are like breaking ground on Tai Sui's head!"

The two of them discussed briefly and determined the general policy. As for the details, they can adapt to the situation. In short, they vowed not to give up if they didn't let the bear kid Yile learn a lesson this time.

It's just a trivial matter to teach the bear child a lesson, unless Yi Le doesn't come to the pet shop, as long as he comes, he will definitely be unable to eat and walk around. Seeing that the two red-faced parrots were well fed and in good condition, Zhang Zian asked Richard, "Do you need my help during training?"

"Huh?" Richard looked up at him in surprise, "How do you know that my uncle needs help?"

Zhang Zian pretended to smile mysteriously and didn't answer. Of course he knew from Xinghai that Richard needed help, but how could he pretend to be coercive if he told the truth?

Richard waited for a while in doubt, and seeing that he didn't answer, he said, "Quack! You seem to be getting smarter... This is the legendary red one who is close to vermilion, and one who is close to ashes is gray, right? Forget it, anyway. No matter how smart you are, you can't compare to this uncle. However, this uncle really needs help..."

It turned its head to look at Fei Na, Snow Lion and Old Tea, "Don't call it a human, even the cat's paw wants to be used."

"What? You want them to help too?" Zhang Zian was stunned for a moment, thinking that the direction of the plot was wrong. Xinghai only said that he and Sun Xiaomeng needed help, but he didn't say that he needed help from Fei Na and the others... Could it be that the future direction is unintentional? changed between?

His heart tightened, and his back was sweating in the cold weather.

Richard said contemptuously, "This is just an IQ test question. You really failed, which made me look at you in vain just now! This sentence is Japanese '猫の手も任りたい', and the literal translation is 'lian The cat’s hand wants to be used’, the paraphrase is very busy. Do you really think that the uncle will make those three stupid..."

Before the word "cat" could be uttered, Richard's beak was pinched by Zhang Zian.

"Be careful what comes out of your mouth." Zhang Zian warned, before letting go.

However, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

It looks like the future hasn't changed.

Although Old Tea couldn't quite understand it, it still keenly noticed Richard's tone of looking down on cats. He couldn't help but snorted coldly, picked up a piece of green bird feather that fell on the ground, and flicked it with his paw. The bird feather whirled, drew a light green arc in the air, and hit Richard's ass.

"Gah!"

Fortunately, Richard suffered a loss once. Seeing that the chrysanthemum was not safe, it flapped its wings and jumped up, narrowly avoiding it. The green feather skidded under its buttocks until it hit the wall on the other side before landing.

"Quack! Can you still talk properly! If you disagree with me, do it! A gentleman who agrees doesn't move!" Hiding behind Zhang Zian, Richard protested to Lao Cha from a distance. Nothing works.

Old Cha quietly sipped the tea as if nothing had happened.

Richard once again learned the sad fact that he was at the bottom of the store's food chain, and he couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Zhang Zian was at the bottom with him...

"By the way, do you know Japanese?" Zhang Zian asked curiously after hearing its Japanese pronunciation.

"Of course, Japanese is not a complicated language." Richard was still in shock, and his thinking was a little slow. "Why are you asking this?"

"Hey! You understand!" Zhang Zian winked at it.

Richard: "...you can just read it, and you have to translate it!"

Zhang Zian hastily pinched its beak again, "Don't say it, it's in broad daylight..."

It grunted a few times before Zhang Zian let go of his hand.

Richard poohed a few times, and complained dissatisfiedly: "You also know that it is broad daylight..."

Zhang Zian looked back, and saw that Fei Na and Xue Shizi were staring at him with disgust, disgust and contempt, and Lao Cha turned up the volume of the TV, pretending not to hear it, only Xing Hai was still carefree Chasing Mei Short and playing hide-and-seek.

He coughed a few times, and said to Richard seriously: "Let's get back to the topic, how do you want me to help?"

Richard thought for a while and said, "Do you know what 'decoding' is?"

Zhang Zian said that he did not suffer from dementia, and immediately replied: "Didn't you say that?"

"That's right, but it's a technical term for computers and electronic communications after all, and there's another set of corresponding theories in terms of language." Richard said proudly, "Whether it's humans or animals, the essence of daily communication is the transmission of information. The transmission of information is realized through language. People encode, send, receive and decode information through multiple language means to achieve the purpose of information transmission. These language means include but are not limited to voice, text, gestures, pictures, Computer codes, etc., even if I am an uncle, it is impossible to be proficient in all of them.”

It paused for a while, then jumped into the water basin to drink some water to moisten its throat, and continued: "My uncle wants to teach these two idiot parrots to talk. To convey information, this involves another professional vocabulary—segment, which means 'sound segment' in Chinese. Segment is mainly aimed at the Indo-European language family, and the Sino-Tibetan language family is basically common, but it is more complicated. Do you know the four major language families?"

"have no idea."

"Forget it, ignorant idiot." Richard sighed, "Don't ask about these details, just listen carefully."

Zhang Zian showed the energy he had for the college entrance examination back then, listened carefully with his eyes wide open, and tried his best to digest this knowledge—maybe one day he can use it to pretend?

"The segment in linguistics is equivalent to the code in computer and electronic communication - code. The code is the meaningful basic unit in computer language, and the segment is also the basic unit in linguistics, and it is the smallest and impossible The basic unit of segmentation." Richard made a big circle, and finally came back again, "Decoding and encoding, in linguistics, are the segmentation and recombination of sound segments, do you understand the meaning?"

"I don't understand." Zhang Zian replied honestly, completely confused.

Richard already had an understanding of his idiocy, and further explained: "As long as you learn this, you can infer other daily vocabulary, which is the 'generalization' in linguistics. For example, understand the 'grey parrot' and 'green', the new word 'green parrot' can be combined by itself. This is the essential difference between 'parrot learning' and real speaking."

It looked at him seriously and proudly, "What I want to teach them is real speech."
