"Then how many foreign languages do you know?" Lao Wu and his sister-in-law had little contact. At this moment, he was indeed a little shocked when he heard her say this.
However, when you think of your second brother's level, you won't be too surprised when you get married to a top student.
"Six and seven gates, probably." Wu Lijun said with a smile, "I went out for a trip with your second brother, and even saved money for translation. It's pretty good. Then, it's easy to read the novel, so you can read the original work directly.
Sometimes, some books are not as good as they are translated, at least the chewyness of the language is gone, just like translating "Laozi", "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin" into English. People who don't understand Chinese can only read the plot and it is difficult to find out specific things."
"That's true." Lao Wu nodded and agreed, "I have always liked "Hundred Years of Solitude". I have looked for different versions, including the English version. Different versions feel different.
You know Spanish, so envious, it must be exciting to read the original work."
"This is also related to the personal growth environment, such as his many memes and humors, and he is familiar with language, but he does not live in that place and does not have the life background of Spanish culture, it is difficult to have the kind of knowing smile.
On the other hand, foreigners are the same. They don’t talk about the popular sayings on the Internet, “I can’t do it”, “There is a mine at home”, “Three years of hard work, no loss of death penalty”, “Female boxing warning”, “The law of truth”, and “They can only understand the superficial meaning and cannot feel the humor in it at all. Even those old men and women who don’t go online are confused.”
Lao Wu sighed and said, "Anyway, I don't have that brain, and I've learned English so hard. I have to look up the dictionary and compare the Chinese translation when reading the original work. It's so tiring."
"What kind of brain does learning language require? If there is no language environment, you can only recite hard and have no other way, it's just a waste of time."
"The environment is very important." Ling Er came over to talk with nothing, and occasionally looked at Ling Xiao and Huang Duoduo who were playing games there.
"Go ahead, I'm here." Ling Xiao, who has always been introverted, had a louder voice than anyone else when he played the game, and he shouted very vigorously, "Oh, go ahead and go!"
Ling Er didn't hear this rustic word, but Lao Wu was not very excited and said to his elder brother, "How long has his grandma been living here? Her accent is all wrong."
Ling Er smiled and said, "You can practice your Mandarin first, and then talk about him. I'm in college, but I still can't tell the difference between hf, flat tongue, front and back nasal sounds, isn't it embarrassing?"
"That elder sister is even more embarrassing. She is older and deals with people every day. Do you ask her if she can speak Mandarin?" Lao Wu continued to add, "There is also the elder brother-in-law."
Shouzhou occupies a dividing line between north and south of China and has successfully inherited the language defects of all parts of the country.
"What does it have to do with me?" Fu Baolu smiled, "I'm much better now."
He had never read a book for a day and didn't know a single word. When he first came to Pujiang, he couldn't even understand Pujiang dialect, let alone speak Pujiang dialect.
Wu Lijun smiled and said, "Education is popular now, and most young people are fine in Mandarin. At most, they have a little accent, which doesn't matter."
"There is not much difference between Northeastern dialect and Mandarin." Lao Wu said with a smile.
"Who said to you? The Northeast dialect you are exposed to must be through sketches, many 2 people, or young people who have read books. Do you think the Northeast accent is Northeast dialect?" Wu Lijun smiled and said, "You go to our place and meet an old man and an old lady. The speed of speaking is slightly faster, and you still can't understand a word."
Ling San broke a tangerine and ate it while eating, "The older man really doesn't understand the words. Generally, those who have read books are better. Even if there are uncommon words, they can know the general meaning even if they guess. If they are older, they just hear the murmur in his mouth, but they don't understand at all."
The party eats very early and it starts before six o'clock.
The table is big, and even the children have the opportunity to sit down.
Halfway through the wine, starting from the old man of the Huang family to Ling Daikun, he sent red envelopes to the three children one by one.
Wu Lijun is the new wife who entered the house the first year. Although Huang Liyu is a nominal stepmother, as an elder, she still gave her 10,000 yuan in a very generous manner.
The whole family is having a happy time.
Today is New Year's Eve, but I still strictly control the time of playing games for three children. I have nothing to do except to face the TV or throw firecrackers.
Ling Xiao found a comic from the house, and Huang Duoduo was copying it with a brush.
"What is this painting?" Huang Liyu trembled when he saw Duoduo's painting. A skeleton-shaped fish actually had four spider-like legs. The whole painting style was dark and weird, and he could slowly detect the fishy smell.
These are all children, how can you see this kind of thing?
As for Huang Duoduo who copied it, he was even more guilty!
"This is a walking fish," Fu Chuancheng said happily as if he had not seen Huang Liyu's face. "With an unknown bacteria, people will become bloated and squirt foul gas when infected."
When Lao Wu heard the movement here, he comforted Huang Duoduo, who was trembling with fear, picked up the comic book on the desktop, and smiled, "The work "Fish" by "Junji Ito" comes from the green-finned fish. I have read many of his comics before, and I am a very talented writer.
If my elder brother hadn't stopped me from going to Japan, I would have wanted to visit me."
As for whether others are willing to see her, it is not her concern at all.
She knew Wensheng and Jiang Yubin, and she believed that they were very willing to contact her.
Unfortunately, I can't go to Japan.
Huang Liyu said, "These are so scary and are not suitable for children. How can you buy these comics for children?"
She was afraid of delaying Huang Duoduo's study, so she basically would not buy her comic books. She occasionally couldn't resist and would buy some girls-oriented.
Ling San smiled and said, "You look down on children nowadays. You are very precocious. Don't underestimate their ability to bear it. I don't think it's a big deal."
"There are so many books that can be read, so read less." Huang Liyu is a teacher herself and thinks that she has a say in education more convenient than everyone else. However, she has no choice but to say too tough, so she has to take a step back, "They are so young and don't know anything."
When the eldest sister came out of the kitchen, she also heard the movement. She flipped through two pages of comic books and said with a smile, "I bought this for them. I started reading it last week.
When Lao Si and Lao Wu were young, they really liked watching zombie movies and ghost catching movies. Look, this is not very good-looking."
