Chapter 357 Legend of the Republic of China (14)

After hearing her words, Jiang Wentian raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were a little more interested, but they still looked joking.

Xuan Xia cleared her throat and picked up the book.Her voice was not crisp, but slightly magnetic. Yuan Kewen hadn't had time to read the books Jiang Wentian brought back, but Jiang Wentian knew the contents of these books.

His eyes widened bit by bit, and finally stood up directly from the sofa lying down. He stared straight at Xuan Xia, pulled the book back from her hand, and asked earnestly:
"Have you read this book before?"

"No." Xuan Xia shook her head.

Jiang Wentian's expression froze for a moment, he found another book from a pile of books, flipped to a page casually, and handed it to Xuan Xia's hand, this time when he spoke, his tone was much more cautious Meaning: "Look at this again."

Xuan Xia raised a smile on her lips and continued to speak loudly. Beautiful words poured out of her throat. She didn't even focus on the book in front of her, but only glanced at her words with her peripheral vision. Without delay, one page of the book was quickly translated. She closed the book and gave it back to Jiang Wentian:

"Is this all right?"

"Miss Lu." Jiang Wentian looked at Xuanxia's expression now, and he no longer had the previous frivolity and indifference. His eyes shone brightly, as if he had discovered a treasure. He stood up abruptly, grabbed Her hand: "Among so many people I know, no one has ever been able to express the meaning in such a short period of time, and the language is so elegant."

"Please, help me translate all these books." Jiang Wentian made a request, with a somewhat embarrassed look, "These are all books I like."

"With Mr. Jiang's influence, it's not enough to find a translator in Tianjin." Xuan Xia raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully.

"Don't mention it soon." Speaking of this topic, Jiang Wentian's face became more embarrassing. He touched his head, grinned and sat back on the sofa, "There are quite a few translators, but one by one I don’t know what kind of ecstasy drug I took, but no one is willing to take these books, how much money can they make teaching and giving lectures a month? I have such a good job, and there is no one who knows the goods.”

Jiang Wentian's eyes lit up: "It's lucky to meet a genuinely talented woman like Ms. Lu. Not only is she so proficient in foreign languages, but her translations are also so beautiful. She can be regarded as No. 1 in China."

Xuan Xia sat down with a smile and said nothing. She just looked at Jiang Wentian with a smile. The scene suddenly became a little cold. Jiang Wentian continued to chat: "It has been a few days since I returned to Tianjin. I have also met the so-called talented women and ladies in Tianjin." Very few. Those are just social butterflies who dance and socialize on occasion, so how much real talent and learning are there..."

"Okay." Hearing the latter, Yuan Kewen couldn't listen anymore, and gently interrupted Jiang Wentian's intention to continue talking.

Xuan Xia held the pile of books in her arms, looked at them one by one, and finally sighed: "The translators in China don't want to translate this. In fact, it has nothing to do with money. They just don't want their translation results to be wasted. It’s about love stories. It’s not that these books are bad, it’s just that the current environment is not the time to read these books.”

Every time Xuan Xia said something, the light in Jiang Wentian's eyes dimmed a little. Just when he was about to lose heart, Xuan Xia changed the subject: "But I'm not very busy with work recently, so it's okay to help translate these books. .”

"Miss Lu is really righteous. From now on, you will not only be Ke Wen's friend, but also my friend!" Jiang Wentian regained his spirits, "Is there anyone in Tianjin who doesn't know my name? , just find me."

Yuan Kewen laughed loudly, his waist bent down, Jiang Wentian was a little annoyed by his laughter, and punched him on the back with his fist. After a long time, Yuan Kewen finally straightened up: "Xuan Xia, you I don't know, if any of the women in the entire Huaxia Kingdom know that you have won Jiang Wentian's guarantee, they will probably die of jealousy."

"You have seen that Jiang Wentian is very flirtatious when playing with women, but he is still a little defensive about all his women. He will give money to those who want money, and take those who want fame to go around the social circle. But no matter what he does, No matter how much he is doted on, they are not allowed to use his name outside casually. You are the first to make such a guarantee to someone." Yuan Kewen suppressed a smile and quickly said what he wanted to say. When Jiang Wentian came out, his face turned green when he heard it from behind.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Jiang Wentian looked at Xuan Xia, smiled and changed the topic, "In fact, there are many good poems and books in China, but it is a pity that they have not spread to the West. If you still have time, Xuan Xia, you can do a little translation."

Now Xuanxia frowned. Jiang Wentian's current appearance is obviously a playful expression, as if nothing is taken seriously, and it is not worthy of his seriousness. "Before Huaxia wrote in vernacular, it was mainly classical Chinese, and there were also poems. Ge Fu, not my Chinese beautiful sentences, no matter how you translate it, you can’t translate the charm. There are only a few masterpieces, similar to the Dream of Red Mansions, the foreshadowing and plots involved in it are not patiently studied, and you can’t taste the charm. .I won’t translate this, unless the foreigners have learned Chinese and come to understand it by themselves.” Xuan Xia straightened her back, obviously refusing.

How can the charm and ingenuity in the ancient characters be displayed in a few English translations?

As soon as her words came out, the two people present were stunned. Yuan Kewen was fine, he had never been abroad, but Jiang Wentian, who had been abroad for several years, didn't react immediately.

He opened his mouth and chewed on this sentence repeatedly: "Let Westerners learn Huaxia language, yes, why are we the only ones learning their language." His eyes dimmed a little, "But in Huaxia now, what else is worth others to learn? What about studying?"

"There will be such a day." Xuan Xia patted him on the shoulder, waiting for us to learn from the excellent elements in their thinking, and then combine them with our traditions, and wait for the day when China becomes prosperous and strong, it will be the Westerners vying for it. When learning Chinese culture.

Xuan Xia decided to speak.

She appeared here just to help the original owner achieve this goal.

Jiang Wentian nodded thoughtfully, "Xuanxia, ​​you are the first person to come up with such an idea."

He glanced at Xuan Xia, and sighed slowly: "It's a pity, if you were a man, I would definitely sworn brotherhood with you."

Yuan Kewen's face became weird again.
