My Immortal Big Missy Chapter 809: Alice Monroe
Yang Guo carefully wrote a few words of blessing on the notebook, and then handed it to the blond stewardess Elena.
Ilena said with some admiration: "Your French is so beautifully written, it looks better than mine!"
Yang Guo smiled and said: "I used to practice in artistic fonts for a while, thank you for your appreciation."
Practicing calligraphy can be said to be a painful experience in Yang Guo. It is easy for him to learn to hear and listen to the language, but calligraphy really needs to be learned one by one.
Single French, it took Yang Guo more than a month to practice well. This was several times longer than he hadn't heard or heard about it.
Ilena is not satisfied with signing, but also asks for a photo with Yang Guo. Yang Guo met her requirements one by one, and Irina left the first class.
Speaking of which, when Yang Guo went back to the U.S. and took a flight to Beijīng for transit, I also met a fan. However, the girl from Bangzi Country, Kim Hee Sun, is a fan of Qiqi. (Xiaohan swears that this name was casually named by Xiaohan, and later on the Internet, it turned out that there is such a star named Jin Xishan, and he is still the one who played the myth, a little ignorant...)
Yang Guo recalled that experience, he looked at the Qiqi still asleep with a little triumph, and muttered in his heart: "Hey, Qiqi, this time Dad hasn't gotten into trouble!"
At this moment, a head stretched out from his right hand, and his gray hair was curled up, somewhat similar to the curls that Yang Guo has not recovered yet.
Is an old grandmother. Although the old man has gray hair and wrinkles on her face, she is very energetic. The black headband and striped shirt look very fashionable.
When the old woman was young, she must have been a beauty who turned all living creatures upside down. Although she is getting older, she still looks like a beauty.
"Are you the model from China in their mouths?" The old lady looked at Yang Guo with interest, and asked with an unskilled French, "I have seen you on TV. Although it is great, I don’t think you Like a model!"
Yang Guo saw a middle-aged woman sitting next to her grandmother. She didn't know if it was her **** or family members. She also smiled friendly at Yang Guo.
"Grandma, what do you think I am more like?" Yang Guo laughed. He was not irritated, but thought this old woman was very funny.
"Do you know how to say English?" The grandmother smiled charmingly and said, "If it is English, it will be easier for us to communicate!"
Yang Guo nodded, changed to English, and said, "Of course, how should I call you? Grandma can call me Leon directly."
The old grandma waved her hand gently, and smiled: "You can't call grandma, you will get old if you call grandma, you also call my name, Alice!"
"Okay! Alice!" Yang Guo coaxed her like her own grandma. Yang Guo's grandma passed away very early. However, in Yang Guo's childhood memories, she still loved herself the best Grandma.
"I actually think that you and I are the same type of people! When doing literary creation, I often touch books." Granny Alice said in a low voice, "Do you know why? Because you have a kind of book breath ."
Yang Guo laughed and said, "Alice, you are right, and many people say that I am a bookish person. Actually, I am not a literary creation, but it is not too much. I am a literary translation. "
"I heard your conversation just now!" Granny Alice
said, "I don't think there is a boundary between translation and literary creation. Your translation process is also a second creation. Moreover, I know many writers and have experience in translation before." /
Yang Guo asked with interest: "Really? How did they switch careers?"
"No need to change careers!" Alice said with a smile, "Don't you find that as long as you can do a good literary translation, your own writing skills will not be bad?"
Yang Guo thought for a while and nodded. He felt that his writing skills were all right. At present, in 13 foreign languages, except Sanskrit, which is rarely used, he can write some small articles by himself.
Of course, Yang Guo still has no confidence, otherwise, his articles will not be hidden in an encrypted blog, only Fang Beibei can see it!
The journey is long. Yang Guo and Alice are like-minded. The more they talk, the happier they are, just to pass the time.
Only then did he discover that the old grandmother was originally from Ontario, Canada, and she was in her early eighties this year! Next to her is her daughter, who is in her 50s this year!
"But you look good!" Yang Guo exclaimed.
"This is all spiritual power." Granny Alice smiled, "I will maintain a good living condition every day, exercise, be vegetarian, and then maintain a strong thirst for knowledge. Reading gives me unlimited energy!" /
The two also talked about a lot of literary topics. Granny Alice was surprised by the amount of reading of Yang Guo. Many Canadian literary works Yang Guo have been read, and he can talk about it as if they were two There has never been a generation gap between age and experience.
Yang Guo was also amazed by the knowledge of Alice's grandmother. The grandmother has a very complete concept of Western literature. Yang Guo heard from her a lot of classical literature ideas that were not known in books and papers.
"You must have been a university professor before?" Yang Guo asked admiringly.
Alice's grandmother smiled lightly and said: "Not a professor, but former writer-in-residence at Columbia University in England and the University of Queensland in Australia." This is a concept similar to visiting professors.
Yang Guo looked at Granny Alice with respect, and he asked: "Alice, can I ask the name of your work? I would love to read it."
"Have you seen it!" Granny Alice smiled slyly and said, "I wrote the "Escape" I asked you just now!"
"Oh!" Yang Guo whispered in surprise, he shook his head, and wry smile said, "Alice Monroe! Alice, you really deceived me, just now I said I was facing Learn more about this book, and it turns out that the class has gotten tough!"
"It's okay~IndoMTL.com~I don't care!" Granny Alice laughed like a child, "In fact, you really read my book seriously, I am very happy!"
Yang Guo waved his hand and smiled: "Alice, this is not my intention to flatter you. You are a recognized master of short stories. Some people even think you are a contemporary Chekhov! I really like your work. !"
She asked for a book from the daughter who accompanied her by her side, and smiled and said to Yang Guo: "I know, you have read most of my works, but I believe you haven't read this one! "
"dear_life?" Before Yang Guo took it over, he happily asked, "I haven't read this book on Amazon, but I know that this is your work of sealing pen!"
"I finally believe that you are my fan!" Granny Alice smiled humorously, "Yes, it is this book that was published not long ago!"
"I hope you like it!" Alice said with a smile, "I also hope you can stick to your dream and become an excellent writer in the future! I believe you!"
