Star Trek

"Breakthrough" for anyone. Uhura looked down at him: "Have you ever learned Guvulcan?"

"You mean regular classes?" Kirk said so quickly and quietly that Uhura only noticed the second half, "So… no."

Uhura doesn't think he's making his disdain too obvious—shouldn't be.She turns around and goes to the front row where she always sits, this ignorant guy who will be waiting to suffer the silent wrath of Vulcan later; Spock hates having overwhelmed students interrupting his teaching progress.He would draw his lips into a thin, tight line, and his eyebrows would furrow slightly, a sign of Vulcan anger. Uhura always sits at the front, she observes very clearly.

"Istaunash-vehtu-gluvauludusa'awekilsvi'mu'gel'es, tauraunha'ge-tuhasu."

Kirk suddenly whispered this sentence.The voice is not loud, soft and pleasant, like there is a clear and soft stream in front of you, or whispering to the lover beside the pillow.

Uhura's footsteps were pinned.Except for some Vulcans and Romulans who loved ancient cultures, she had never heard such a standard pronunciation of Golic Vulcan from the mouths of aliens.

She didn't look back, and Kirk added after her (shrugging his shoulders, she guessed): "I love that line. Hmm... probably a favorite."

Uhura hugged the PADD tighter and walked towards the front of the classroom.

Perhaps this kid has learned a little bit of ancient Vulcan language in some unknown place. Anyway, it is the same as any language, and he can speak it after listening too much.Uhura had forgotten about the episode when Professor Spock walked into the classroom.However, what made her even more puzzled was that after Professor Spock looked around the classroom for a week as usual, he didn't respond in any other way, didn't raise his eyebrows, didn't ask the identity of this unexpected visitor, and even— Uhura thought, he didn't look at Jim Kirk much. Hold on for a second.

Kirk didn't speak, didn't make any superfluous small movements, and didn't seem to be doing nothing for some beautiful senior student - he really came to learn Surak.Moreover, he performed very well in this class, and his test results were impeccable-when Uhura lost the No.1 crown for the first time, she condescended to walk up to him and tapped on the table with her fingers, but Eyes don't look at him.

"I have to admit, you're more talented than I am in this subject," she said.

For some unknown reason, Kirk had grown curious about her ever since.He didn't revolve around her, he observed, silently and low-key. Uhura thought, that's just one of the ways of being courteous to slutty boys, anyway, the way boys want to attract attention is always in a variety of ways.

Until the end of get out of class one day, Kirk finally "take the initiative" as she expected, blocked her at the door, stared into her eyes, not playful, not annoyed, and his tone was pure curiosity:

"Do you... like Professor Spock?"

"It's none of your business." Uhura was never afraid of teasing or provocation, and stared back bravely.

"You like him." Kirk tilted his head and pouted, "I can tell."

Even with this kind of action, his expression is probably dull, as if he is describing the facts purely and objectively—the fact is indeed the case.

Even if it is true. Uhura flicked his long ponytail and left, not wanting to pay him any more attention.She walked so fast that she didn't see Kirk's thoughtful expression when Professor Spock also came out of the classroom.

Note: The Vulcan language spoken by Kirk comes from Douban, which means "When you fall into loneliness or darkness, I would like to be an amazing light and appear in front of you." (Translation: Pelli)

16. 【Spirk】When he walked silent

3.

One day in the fifth month, Uhura was forced to have a meal with Kirk.

Yes, "forced".

Professor Spock didn't know where to get new teaching experience, and suddenly thought that "proper group study and exchange of experience will help to better comprehend Vanu-Zukitan" - the exact words.Although the Klingon in the back row of Uhura complained dissatisfiedly, "This seems like a kindergarten", everyone still had to accept this arrangement.That's why after Uhura looked around the classroom for a week, she saw Jim Kirk, who was almost diagonal to her position, was waving a PADD and smiling at her, and his blue eyes were still full of curiosity.

Her eyes returned to her PADD, and the image of Kirk on the virtual image was also smiling. Uhura is annoyed, whether it's because of Kirk's persistent silent probing, or if it's simply because he's in a group with this guy.

(Note: Vanu-Zukitan, or "ceremonial writing system". The most ornate and complex form of written Vulcan language, inheriting some of the pictographic properties of the Vulcan language in ancient times. This set of letters is used for most inscriptions , official legal or family documents, and all literary greats. This is also the writing form that Surak and his disciples used in their writing. See Sina blog for related information)

However, Nyota Uhura has always been a person who distinguishes between public and private. Of course, she will not affect the results of the entire group because of her personal dissatisfaction with the group members.In terms of pronunciation and fluency, she and Kirk are among the top students in the class, and they deserve to get an A+ in this practical activity.

Uhura was a little shocked when Kirk uttered the ancient Vulcan verse fluently behind her, but now the girl is even more puzzled that this guy doesn't understand grammar at all, doesn't understand the rules of learning languages ​​- he just can say , and can speak Guvulcan as fluently as his mother tongue - as if he lived on that hot planet

Like many years.

Of course, Uhura quickly dismissed such speculation.How could this blond-haired, blue-eyed standard "American Sweetheart" boy with a playful North Central accent, who looked like he had grown up in the fields of Iowa, be able to stand the constraints of Vulcan logic.

Kirk is free.He is like a fish in the waves, only sea water can catch him.

It happened to be lunch time after a class, so Kirk naturally invited the beautiful lady to have lunch.If Uhura was wary of him in the past—after all, unscrupulous guys are always worrying—but now they have a deeper teammate relationship than classmates, and it seems inappropriate to refuse at this time. Uhura thought, in the customs of the people on Earth, not rejecting your partner is just a reason to treat you to a meal.

They sat in the open-air cafeteria under the federal endangered plant cultivation building near the school, Uhura ordered a green salad and chicken and mushroom soup, and Kirk—Kirk ordered a plate of Vulcan pasta she couldn't name.It looked like bread, but tasted like dry wood; she had tasted it once and never wished for a second.She knew how unpalatable that burnt mass was, even the red alien Gaila once dated who claimed to be able to eat up wormholes couldn't take a third bite, but to her surprise, Kirk ate Very -- at ease.very familiar.It was as if he had just eaten a plain plate of spaghetti bolognese instead of dark and moldy wood.

She began to feel curious.

This curiosity made her forget her own etiquette, until Kirk looked up from the plate and smiled at her sheepishly: "Sorry, I always do this when I eat, and I can't even find it when there is an earthquake." He saw Uhura kept his eyes on his plate, and politely pushed it towards the girl, "Do you want to try it?"

of course not. Uhura waved his hand, and couldn't even eat the salad: "This... I thought humans wouldn't like the taste of it."

She clearly saw a glint of delight in Kirk's eyes: "Ha. I knew it wasn't my bad taste. Vulcans have really weird taste, don't they?"

"Why do you want to try their food?" Uhura asked, "There are so many delicacies to choose from in restaurants and replica machines."

"Food is an essential part of learning the culture of a planet."

Uhura originally wanted to point out that as a first-year student, if Kirk wanted to fix Vulcan-related things, he should go to Instructor Soreen, not with the third-year student. Teacher Soreen is a rare Vulcan with a round body and a rare gentle personality. Uhura has a good impression of him-of course, he is still worse than Professor Spock.

She opened her mouth, but before she could make a sound, Kirk's PADD suddenly rang.He wiped his mouth and made an apologetic gesture at her, pressed the video permission, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a happy arc: "Hi. I'm having lunch with a beautiful lady. What's going on guys?"

He didn't deliberately block the picture, and it can be seen from Uhura's perspective. The other end of the video is
