My Immortal Big Missy Chapter 938: Great
"Leon, hello!"
Yang Guo was not originally an important role. In this banquet, although he did a translation for Mo Yan, people's attention was mainly on the Nobel Prize winners such as Mo Yan. Yang Guo stole a gap and had some food in the buffet area on the side. Unexpectedly, someone greeted him in plain Mandarin.
Turning around and looking at it, an old man with gray hair and walking with assistance is standing in front of him. Yang Guo will not mistakenly think that the other party is a Chinese. After all, the white face is there. There.
"Professor Ma Yueran? Hello!" Yang Guo was taken aback, he hurriedly bent his waist and bowed to the old man. The old man is also quite tall, but because of his age, his bones are a little rickety. Yang Guo bends over and put his head on the same level as the old man.
"Hey, can you recognize me?" Professor Ma Yueran said with a smile, "Did you do your homework before coming to Sweden?"
Yang Guo smiled and said: "Of course, you must do your homework in advance to participate in such a grand conference. However, I have read a lot of your books and translations when I was learning Swedish, so I still have a little bit for you. Understand.” He spoke Chinese to Professor Ma Yueran, mainly because this is the field of Professor Ma Yueran. He would be happier speaking Chinese to him.
"Really? Which of my works have you seen?" Professor Ma Yueran asked with interest.
"I have read all of your translations, including Bei Dao and Gu Cheng's poems "The Coast and the Spoiled Child" translated in Swedish in 1983; academic works include: the interrogative structure in "Journey to the West" "Responsibility Form", "Research on Phonetics in Western China"..." Yang Guo said with Professor Ma Yueran like a treasure.
Yang Guo's expression is very excited, which is very different from his calm when translating. This is because he has seen an idol!
Yang Guo does not worship celebrities, nor does he follow celebrities, but he also has his own idols, and most of them are in the academic field. Professor Ma Yueran is one of them!
Professor Ma Yueran has a keen interest in Chinese culture. It is he who really expanded the field of sinology in Europe from archaeology and linguistics to literature, and introduced a large number of ancient and modern Chinese literary works to Europe. It can be said that in terms of cultural communication, Yang Guo's evaluation of his persistent promotion of Chinese literature for decades or even more than half a century has even surpassed greatness!
Actually, more than 20 years ago, at the time of 1988, Professor Ma Yueran always believed that the Nobel writer of that year should be awarded to Mr. Shen Congwen-a person who has not written since the 1950s but before that The work has been great enough for a writer.
Unfortunately, Mr. Shen Congwen passed away in 1988. Professor Ma Yueran who received the news called the Swedish Cultural Counselor in China, but the other party did not know Mr. Shen Congwen. For this reason, Professor Ma Yueran angrily hung up the phone.
Professor Ma Yueran even tried to persuade other judges to make an exception to award awards to those who have passed away. However, he tried many times without success. In the end, the 64-year-old Professor Ma Yueran walked out of the conference room crying.
Whether it is to Professor Ma Yueran's achievements or his attitude towards Chinese culture to Mr. Shen Congwen, Yang Guo has always been in awe when seeing this name.
"Okay, don't read it!" Professor Ma Yueran's wrinkles bloomed, and he smiled, "I believe you did read what I wrote! I'm here, not to test you, but I am curious and surprised by your wonderful performance in translation today, so come and see you as a talented young man!"
"You have a good reputation!" Yang Guo hurriedly bowed and thanked him, "Actually, this is because I have read the speech beforehand, so I did not encounter too difficult problems when translating!"
Others are eager to take credit for themselves, but Yang Guo just doesn't want it, he tried his best to explain, worried that Professor Ma Yueran misunderstood the general!
"Modesty!" Professor Ma Yueran pointed at Yang Guo with a smile, "Humility is a virtue, I know, you Chinese like to be humble, but in Sweden, you should go to the countryside and face your own. Achievements! My Ma Yueran's eyes are still good. Maybe I have to prepare in advance tonight, but you are on the spot for the translation in the afternoon, right?"
Yang Guo froze for a moment, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and smiled: "Professor, you are really eye-catching."
"Wear me a high hat?" Although Professor Ma Yueran is very old, he is still in good spirits. He laughed and laughed at Yang Guo with a Chinese word, just like an old naughty boy!
"Haha, Professor, your Chinese is really slippery!" Yang Guo said admiringly.
"Living to be old, learning to be old!" Professor Ma Yueran continued to show off his Chinese skills naughty, "Although I am not Chinese, I have lived more than 80 years, and the rice I have eaten is better than what you have walked. There are many roads, so learn better, this is not surprising!"
"It's you!" Professor Ma Yueran smiled and said, "Leon, I think you are excellent. It's not that you have achieved great achievements now, but at your age, you can actually speak Swedish. There are many, many languages that have been mastered so deeply, that is a situation that makes me feel very magical!"
Although the grammar is very standard, Professor Ma Yueran speaks a little bit incoherently, perhaps because he is older. After all, there are not many people in the world who are in their eighties and can speak standing up!
"It is a great honor to have your affirmation!" Yang Guo said with a smile, "Language is my hobby and research direction! Swedish is the same, I like this language very much, not just because of its beauty , And also because it has greatly inspired my academic research!"
Yang Guo and Professor Ma Yueran briefly introduced their research on translation theory~IndoMTL.com~Professor Ma Yueran nodded and said: "You can learn from other things, Leon, you are really amazing!"
"Today I just want to see a translator who can translate Swedish so well!" Ma Yueran said with a smile, "I didn't expect to find a future university instructor! I really hope that I can still see Until the day you become the new generation of academic masters in China!"
I am afraid it will be difficult. After all, Professor Ma Yueran is over eighty years old, and no one knows where his life span is. However, it is not necessarily true. If he can live to ninety-nine years like Master Ji, then there is really hope!
"After I go back, I will definitely remember your approval and expectations!" Yang Guo said slightly seriously, "I believe there will be such a day!"
Professor Ma Yueran did not chat with Yang Guo much. He was old and his spirit could not support his long chat. With the help of his assistant, Professor Ma Yueran left his faith and blessings, and bid farewell to Yang Guo.
