Portrait in two mirrors

Chapter 3 From Confucius to Confuse

The main pavilion of the French Pavilion.

"Why is François still playing on the computer...he has already occupied an afternoon..." Lavoisier said sadly, "I still want to chat with my good friend Condorcet in the American Department~ Now count He happened to be online due to the time difference~"

"Hey... I haven't cleared the Resident Evil yet..." Pascal said equally sadly, "I've fought that mutant scientist who looks like Lavoisier several times, but I still can't beat it..."

"Well, Blaise, what do you mean..." Lavoisier pointed out painfully Pascal's injury to him, "—and, François, you don't think you're wearing eighteenth-century clothes Is it a subtle feeling playing on the computer?..."

"Oh!" Voltaire took off his earphones very sadly, straightening his ruffled sleeves, "You two don't hang around behind me like dead people! Besides, you don't wear modern clothes now! "

"Alas, we are dead... François..." Pascal said sadly.

"And you are dead too... François..." Lavoisier said sadly.

"Oh, don't point out this sad fact..." said Voltaire, he was ruffling his bow tie, "who replaced the computer desktop with the Pantheon?!"

"Me." Pascal said calmly, "Don't you think this makes you feel at home~ and it happens to be between you and Rousseau's cemetery~"

"Oh, I don't care about you, I hate the 400-year-old genius specimen~ (Pascal and Voltaire pull up)" Voltaire said, "Actually, I use the computer for our Enlightenment radio and television business!"

"Oh forget it! Ever since your Chinese blue and white porcelain cup broke, you can't drink coffee or work in the morning~ It's not like we didn't find out that the anchors of the morning news on Enlightenment Radio and Television this week Turned into Rousseau!" Pascal said the truth ruthlessly.

"Every time your wife ends up saying very bitterly at the end of the show, 'I'm sorry, viewers, but a very sad thing happened to our original host, Mr. Voltaire, and he hasn't recovered yet. , please watch another episode of the news broadcast by the best person in the world, 2!'" Lavoisier painstakingly completed the truth.

"Oh! Don't hurt my wife!" Voltaire said angrily, "But the fact is that since I saw the French channel of China Central Television, I am going to let our Enlightenment radio and television station open a Chinese channel! So I these I'm learning Chinese every day!"

"Oh..." Pascal said disapprovingly, "I remember when you were 84 years old and said you were going to learn Chinese, but you still haven't even passed HSK level 1 and 4!"

"No, no, no! That's because Chinese is the most profound language in the world! It won't be difficult to understand its profound meaning within hundreds of years!" Voltaire spread his hands.

"Really? In this case, how do Chinese people learn Chinese..." Lavoisier pointed out the loophole painfully.

"In short, Chinese is amazing. Now let me use Chinese to say the name of my most respected Chinese sage Confucius5: Confucius." Voltaire said very proudly.

"Are you sure you speak Chinese? Why do I think it's not Confucius but confuse." Pascal raised his doubtful eyebrows.

"I also think it's confuse." Lavoisier said.

"How could this happen? It's obviously Confucius! How could it be confuse? Is my Chinese that bad?!" Voltaire tugged at Lavoisier anxiously.

"You better pull it with another person..." Lavoisier said sadly after being shaken violently, "I'm afraid my head will fall off..."

———————————————【I am the helpless dividing line】————————————————

"The best way to learn a foreign language is to go to the environment where the foreign language was produced." Pascal said.

"Besides, the Chinese channel needs program materials. It is best to have the experience of the program team members going to the field." Lavoisier said.

"So..." Voltaire crossed his arms, "Should I go to China?"

"Yes, you should travel to China, for your Chinese and the blue and white porcelain cup (so that I can pass my Resident Evil level)." Pascal said nonchalantly.

"Yes, you should travel to China for your TV station's coverage (so I can start chatting overseas)." Lavoisier said calmly.

"Okay!" Voltaire happily agreed.

So Voltaire, you were cheated by your two evil roommates, do you know that! ! ! !

"Oh, Voltaire and I have decided to travel to China! This time we are going to Qufu, Shandong Province to visit the Temple of Confucius, the Former Residence of Confucius ~ We have decided to leave next week!" Diderot almost jumped into the office of the Enlightenment Thinkers Group of the Philosophy Group.

"Why are you going to China again!" Montesquieu put down the Civil Code of Justinian in his hand, very angry and shocked. "You will not forget what happened when you and Voltaire went to Beijing, China the year before last!!!"

"Ah, at that time, Mr. Voltaire saw the majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, and felt the mysterious and magnificent power from the East. He was so moved by this solemn and peculiar architectural style... Later, the Asian branch of the firm The RHUMA found him, and dragged Mr. Voltaire back with great pains..." Rousseau said bitterly.

"At that time, Mr. Diderot saw the extensive and profound Chinese cuisine in the capital, and suddenly felt the insignificance of life and the grandeur of the universe, as well as the colorfulness of the material world, just like the infinite series 7, the fractal of nature, there will never be At the end...Finally he spent all his money, and the money he owed had to be paid by RHUMA of the Asian branch of the firm...After returning to Paris, France, Diderot began a long journey of saving money and paying off debts... "D'Alembert recalled bitterness and sweetness. (Where is the sweetness?!)

"Oh... I seem to remember when you said that..." Diderot said anxiously, "It seems that Voltaire and I bought lottery tickets everywhere to try our luck in order to pay back the money... But this kind of influence on Chinese culture The emotion of love is so strong and irrepressible, what are we going to do?~~" He started to act coquettishly like a kitten (?!) but Montesquieu was so selfless and unmoved.

"Well, then let's go in the name of a TV station. We can take care of François and Dennis, and we can also do a live TV program called 'Enlightenment Radio and Television Confucius Special', okay?" See Such a horrific scene, Rousseau hastily proposed.

"Okay, I heard that Shandong, China is the birthplace of Chinese education, and I can also appreciate the charm of Chinese mathematics and science~" D'Alembert said with a smile.

"Oh... Now that all your family members (?!) have gone, I'd better not join in the fun..." Montesquieu said with satisfaction, and began to prepare to leave.

"No...we need lights..." Voltaire's pale and cold hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness and grabbed Montesquieu.

1 It is recorded in history that Voltaire would not be able to drink the coffee sent from Paris without the Chinese blue and white porcelain cup.

2 Ever since the author was stunned by the sentence "I am full of resentment, which blocks my pen" in "The Social Contract", Little Rousseau has become more and more resentful (in fact, he is indeed resentful). . .

3 words out of "Confessions", 'People can hardly find a better man than me' (in fact he is indeed narcissistic). . .

4 The lowest level of the Chinese Proficiency Test.

5 I do not exaggerate the depth of Voltaire's love for Confucius. . .

6 Poor Lavoisier died on the guillotine, so here he says that his head is in danger of falling off. . .

7Think about the D'Alembert's discriminant method in high mathematics (series part) and you will understand ==|||

8. In history, Voltaire was a speculator for a period of time. He once won several lottery prizes and earned 50 francs! [Yes!Believe your eyes!Voltaire is the god of wealth! ! ! (Hello)】
