Chapter 678: Almighty Translation - Surprise for the Niche!
Serina is an international student at the Beijing Foreign Studies University and majors in Chinese.
As a girl from Afghanistan, the nineteen-year-old Serina was able to study at the Beijing Foreign Studies University in China, thanks to the help of a Chinese aunt who is doing business in Afghanistan. Of course, Serina's hard study is also one of the important reasons.
It turns out that Serina is an orphan from a tribe in Afghanistan. Both of her parents were killed in the raids by the US military. Since childhood, Serina has been in the tribe one by one, making a living by picking up rags. The US military often raids, leaving a large number of bomb fragments in Afghanistan, and also leaving a large number of unexploded bombs.
Serina's daily job is to pick up the broken parts of the bomb and use the metal to go to the shops in the tribe to exchange for some food.
It is normal to have hunger and eat more and more. There are also some people in the tribe who are flirting with things, and there are people who rob Serina.
Until one point, a Chinese businessman came to the tribe to do business. There was a lapis lazuli vein in the tribe, which was controlled by the tribe elders. This kind of gem has a relatively marketable market in China.
This woman, who is called Aunt Bao, is not afraid of the roadside explosions and suicide attacks that occur almost every day in Afghanistan. She is calm and talks about business with the elders in the tribe.
Serina has seen many Chinese people in the tribe. Although the border between China and Afghanistan is only a few dozen kilometers and only a Wakhan corridor, there are not many Afghans who go to Afghanistan to do business. Serina even learned a few Chinese words and she didn't know at all. Just these few Chinese words made Aunt Bao notice herself, which also changed Serina's life!
At that time, Aunt Bao was walking around the tribe street with her entourage, and a gangster in the tribe followed her sneakily. Serina knew very well what she wanted to be, either thieves or hooligans. They often bullied themselves, picked up the things they had picked up with great difficulty, and even beat them.
When the gangster was about to take action, Serina couldn't help but shout loudly in unstandard Chinese: "Be careful! Thieves!"
The reason she did this was because when Aunt Bao came here a few months ago, she saw that she was pitiful and gave her a pack of cookies.
It was the best biscuit Serina had ever eaten, and even later, Serina had eaten many similar biscuits in the capital of China, but never tasted that taste again.
Although Serina was also afraid of being retaliated against by those gangsters, at that time, she forgot everything else, but simply didn't want Aunt Bao to be hurt by her good deeds. Those gangsters had a knife in their hands!
With Serina's reminder, Aunt Bao naturally suffered no harm. Her followers easily crippled the gangster and his accomplices. Serina never dreamed that because of her shout, Aunt Bao brought her out of the tribe, first sent her to Kandahar to school, and then to the capital of China.
More than ten years have passed, and now Serina can no longer see her pale and thin appearance before. In the Beijing Foreign Studies University, Serina is also a school beauty-level figure. Of course, she never thinks that this is good for her studies.
In school, Serina learned English and Chinese, and continued to learn her own language, Pashto.
Pashto is a small language. In many countries in the world, there are no experts in this language. Not many people learn this language. After all, Pashto is just the language of the Pashtun people in Afghanistan, and some Pakistani people are speaking. The total number of people who speak this language in the world is only 20 million.
Twenty million sounds a lot, but gathering in one of the most chaotic regions in the world has greatly restricted the development of this language.
Serina learned simple English and Chinese in Kandahar. After coming to the Foreign Languages University, she gradually became proficient in these two languages, but Serina did not throw away Pashto, which is her native language. Even though her country is in turmoil now, she will not throw away this. Just as Aunt Bao said, this is her own root!
Serina envies the Chinese students here. They can quietly enjoy the flowers of spring, bathe in the summer sun, welcome the breeze of autumn, and feel the ice and snow of winter. Their country is stable, without war, no raids, no roadside explosions, and no suicide attacks.
Although she was envious, Serina still felt that after she finished her studies, she would still have to return to the tribe and teach the children there, so that they could recognize words, learn knowledge, and learn to see the world.
A book of "Pashtun Chinese Dictionary" compiled by Che Hongcai and Zhang Min is Serina's treasure. She almost never leaves her body during the day. This dictionary with more than 2 million words is an important tool for Serina to learn.
Serina is actually able to use the Internet very skillfully. She often searches online with flower seeds to compare some pictures. Although Afghanistan is relatively poor, there are actually rich minerals there. Serina wants to know what is there in her tribe.
Planting flower search is the most commonly used search she uses. After all, only Planting flower search can quickly and effectively search the content and explanation of the picture.
The only drawback is that many similar pictures found were all very professional English, German and other languages, and Serina couldn't understand them very well. Even with the help of dictionary, she could not fully understand the annotations.
"Zhuanghua Search for all-round translation software?"
On this day, Serina was searching with flower sees a pop-up window.
The pop-up window of the flower search is not as annoying as many advertisements. After all, its content is much more practical. Serina trusts the flower search very much and clicks to download it directly.
After downloading, Serina saw a prompt for online translation on the page of Planting Flower Search.
Subconsciously, Serina clicked on a web page from her favorites. This was something she had stored for a long time, but she had never been able to understand. Similar pictures of minerals in a cave in the back mountain of the tribe.
After clicking on the web page, Serina immediately clicked on online translation. She originally planned to translate English directly into Chinese, at least she knew more about Chinese.
However, after seeing more choices, she subconsciously pulled down. Although her hope was very slim, how could she know if she didn't try?
This really surprised her!
In this online translation, there is actually an English translation of Pashto!
This is simply incredible! There are also translations in such a small language!
Just... I don't know what the function is?
Serina suppressed the excitement in her heart and clicked gently.

Oh my God!
It's so great!
