Chapter 3 Right and wrong
"Well, you are absolutely right! The future is an era of internationalization. However, the future is also an era of diversity. If you can't learn English well, there are still many ways to go. As long as you work hard, you may not be trash." Lu Menglin spoke plausibly.
road.
This is how he came all the way. Although he did not get into a good university, he relied on his own hard work and diligence in his later work and still lived tenaciously.
"Strong words! Crooked ways! Do you want everyone to be like you, unable to learn English well, and then unable to go to college?" Old Monster Liu got very angry and scolded.
In his impression, no student dared to speak to the teacher in such a tone, and what was most intolerable to him was using such an equal attitude to openly discuss his major, which made him very unhappy.
"Trash is trash, get out! Now, immediately, immediately!" Old Monster Liu finally broke out and roared angrily.
Lu Menglin shook his head, looking fearless, and said calmly: "I am not a waste. As I said just now, I can translate these poems! It's just that the translation is not accurate."
Old Monster Liu's face was full of disdain and ridicule. He thought he was very humorous and sneered: "You still want to continue to sensationalize? Ha! If you can translate this, teacher, I can even eat the blackboard eraser!"
"Classmate Lu Menglin, please don't waste everyone's time, okay?"
With these last words, Mr. Liu took advantage of the situation and slapped a big hat on Lu Menglin, using the waste of everyone's time as a weapon to try to give the young man a fatal blow.
At this time, everyone in the classroom looked at Lu Menglin with sympathetic eyes. It seemed that he had completely offended Mr. Liu, and it seemed that he would no longer have to attend English classes in the future, although this was a punishment that many people dreamed of.
"If I can do it, will you really eat the blackboard eraser?" Lu Menglin suddenly became naughty and asked with a smile.
Old Monster Liu was so angry that he frowned coldly and held the blackboard eraser tightly, as if he was going to smash it over immediately.
At this time, Lu Menglin strode onto the podium with his head held high and his chest held high.
The whole class was immediately shocked. They didn't expect him to dare to go up. Did this kid have the courage to eat, or did he not wake up?
Lu Menglin no longer paid attention to the surprised looks around him. He concentrated his attention without any distractions. He grabbed the chalk and started writing on the blackboard.
Swish, swish, swish!
Lines of elegant writing on the blackboard flowed out from Lu Menglin's chalk tip, and soon half of the blackboard was filled.
The classroom suddenly became silent and appallingly quiet.
Everyone, including Old Monster Liu, was dumbfounded.
This, how is this possible?
This is not a dream!
Someone twisted his arm hard, opened his mouth wide, and stared at the thin but powerful figure on the podium with disbelief.
All the houses are annihilated
All prosperity is gone
Sea after sea, sea water has no limit
All that's left today is to send a boat with a leaf and drift with the current.
How sad you will be in the future...
A total of five poems translated from English to Chinese were presented in front of the whole class. The handwriting was neat and powerful, at least much prettier than Mr. Liu's handwriting.
The students with the best English scores in the class started making a fuss.
Because the first two sentences written by Lu Menglin were almost exactly the same as the standard answer in their minds, except that the expression was more Chinese-style.
Although the last few sentences are somewhat different from the translations in English dictionaries, they are still similar and are worthy of scrutiny.
At least, this doesn't look like Lu Menglin's English proficiency at all, it's just like a dream.
Even Su Xuehen opened her eyes wide in surprise, and her small mouth curled into a super cute O shape.
Based on her English proficiency, she can certainly tell that these difficult English-Chinese translation problems are actually from the British poet Milton's masterpiece "Paradise Lost", which has gone far beyond the scope of high school English, and
Lu Menglin is almost right!
And even in the last few sentences, although the answers written by Su Menglin are somewhat different from the grammar in the textbook, they are not made up randomly, but are more inclined to use classical Chinese to translate American English expressions.
"Damn it, how could he do these questions?" The whole class, including Old Monster Liu, couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.
Lu Menglin quickly finished writing the answer with his pen, and then flicked his fingertips. The chalk, like a cigarette butt, passed through the air in a graceful and beautiful arc, and fell back into the chalk box accurately.
The whole class was stunned, and their glasses fell to the ground.
These difficult-to-pronounce English poems may be a difficult challenge or even an insurmountable gap for high school students, but for Lu Menglin, who has been doing foreign trade business for two years, it is really nothing.
The pressure of life is often more direct than the lectures in school. I remember that for countless early morning hours, Lu Menglin spent time online talking to foreigners on the other side of the world.
Although his English was poor when he was a student, in order to make money by doing foreign trade orders on the Internet, he re-learned English by himself. Moreover, there were not so many rules and regulations in schools, and the English he learned was actually simpler and more practical.
In the final analysis, English is just a language. As long as the vocabulary is accumulated, grammar is only a minor problem.
"Teacher Liu, this blackboard eraser..." Lu Menglin grinned and said politely.
Old Monster Liu's expression at this moment was extremely rich and full of mixed emotions. He never dreamed that a guy like Lu Menglin could actually translate "Paradise Lost" that he had carefully prepared and answer it in a decent manner.
Based on Mr. Liu's English proficiency, he could certainly tell that Lu Menglin's translation of these sentences was very good, and even jumped out of the textbook, vaguely surpassing his own level.
But who is he? He is the only English teacher in Liufang No. 1 Middle School, so how can he admit such outrageous things?
When a teacher like him with poor ethics faces such strange things, the first thing that comes to his mind is not that he is happy for the class and that there is another top student, but that he has lost face and must regain his own face.
.
"What are you writing? It doesn't make sense! It's all crooked! How many times have I told you that your grammar must not be wrong!" Old Monster Liu said hurriedly.
"Well, I did not translate it accurately." Lu Menglin nodded calmly, not wanting to argue with Old Monster Liu at all, and sat down after finishing speaking.
His behavior made him look mature and steady, more like an adult than the eager-looking Old Monster Liu.
Old Monster Liu is even more entangled in his heart. If he doesn't fight with you, it's like he punched the air and couldn't use his strength.
"Wang Jun, you are the English class representative! Come and tell him if all the grammar is wrong, these translations are simply wrong!" Old Monster Liu felt bad and immediately began to win over his classmates and isolate Lu Menglin.
Wang Jun, who was called by Mr. Liu, is the English class representative in the class, and he is also a good student in the eyes of the teacher.
Wang Jun, who comes from a cadre family, has been exposed to it since he was a child. He is very good at observing people's words and flattering horses. He immediately stood up, frowned and said loudly: "Yes! Lu Menglin's translation is wrong, and there is a big grammatical problem."
As soon as he said this, the students around him booed.
Everyone was thinking to themselves, this sycophant Wang Jun had just tried it on stage. He couldn't even translate the first few sentences. How could he have the courage to speak out and criticize others without shame?
Old Monster Liu heard everyone's boos and knew that Wang Jun could not suppress the situation. He immediately swept his eyes across the audience and finally fell on Su Xueyen.
Even Old Monster Liu admired this beautiful girl with particularly excellent grades. He often talked about Su Xuehen and boasted that she was his favorite student.
As for his usual obscene and crooked thoughts, he would never dare to take action against Su Xueghen, because Su Xueghen was so outstanding. He was the focus of attention in every aspect and was almost perfect. He was the kind of person who did not dare to act rashly.
girl.
However, Old Monster Liu knows better that top students like Su Xuehen have the most weight in speaking in the class.
And because of her family environment, Su Xueghen's English proficiency has long surpassed that of her English teacher in terms of depth and breadth of knowledge. Besides, her impartial character should be very objective. After all, the boy's answer
There is indeed a grammatical problem.
