Chapter 791 Communication like riddles
Zhang Kun stood in the airport passage, staring blankly at the two black men passing by him, with a quaintance in his mouth.
He couldn't understand at all.
Zhang Kun's eyes were blank and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If you don’t know how to speak South African language, communication is a big problem.
If he can't communicate, he will almost be unable to move forward in South Africa.
Not to mention going to find Zhou Yaqi, he couldn't even go out at the airport.
Such a large international airport covers an area of at least tens of thousands of acres, but maybe even hundreds of thousands of acres. The airport building is even more stable, which is similar to a maze.
I can't understand the signboard, and Zhang Kun wants to go out, probably it's really difficult.
Zhang Kun smiled bitterly, looking at the abortion that kept passing by him.
There were many people, but at this moment he felt that he was so far away from him, as if he was not in the same world at all.
For the first time, he felt lonely in a crowded place.
This is what is called a foreign country, alone?
No wonder the old saying goes, it’s good to be at home for a hundred days, but it’s hard to go out every day, but it’s hard to go abroad at all times.
Zhang Kun looked around in a daze. Suddenly, Zhang Kun's eyes lit up, he walked two steps quickly, and walked towards a sign far away from the passage.
As we approached, there was still a row of words that looked like English letters but were not exactly the same. However, unlike the previous signs, there was a row of small English under that row of words.
At this time, when Zhang Kun saw this row of small English letters, he seemed to be excited to see Chinese.
Because he knows him.
That's right, what Zhang Kun didn't like most when he was studying was English courses, but in order to help Ye Nantian fulfill his wish, Zhang Kun inherited all Ye Nantian's English knowledge.
Not to mention CET-6, he even wrote all English papers, let alone this simple English sign.
“departures!”
In the direction of the exit, Zhang Kun grinned a smile on his lips.
Yes, English is the official language spoken by the most countries and the most widely spoken second language in the world. It has the third largest number of native speakers in the world, second only to Chinese and Spanish.
Although the number of native speakers was last seen in Chinese, English has a status that far exceeds Chinese in terms of widespread international use.
Most countries use English as an auxiliary language, a medium for external communication. Therefore, English can also be called an international language.
When Zhang Kun saw English, he breathed a sigh of relief. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know how to speak African, but the same goes for English.
Zhang Kun held his head and chest up, swept away the confusion and decadence just now, and then walked along the flow of people.
Following the airport sign, Zhang Kun took the checked luggage backpack and left the airport lobby.
Walking out of the airport gate, Zhang Kun looked around for a while, then reached out and waved his hand: "taxi."
I saw a dark green taxi waving along Zhang Kun, and a dark green taxi parked quickly in front of Zhang Kun. Zhang Kun naturally pulled open the passenger seat and was about to speak out his destination, but Zhang Kun was stunned when he opened his mouth.
How should De Beers say in English?
Zhang Kun was stunned there, and the taxi driver looked at Zhang Kun who was standing at the door of the car strangely.
The driver first opened his mouth and said something Zhang Kun couldn't understand. After seeing that Zhang Kun didn't respond, the driver spoke again: "whereissir?"
After hearing the driver's words, Zhang Kun came to his senses. Where did he go?
Here, go to De Beers company, but how do you say De Beers in English?
Zhang Kun stood there with a frown, finally plucked up the courage and whispered to the driver: "Dabierhs?"
Zhang Kun said it directly in transliterated spoken language.
But obviously, the driver didn't understand: "what?"
Zhang Kun opened his mouth and wanted to say it again, but before he could speak, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Okay, don't have any De Beers first, or go to the city first. When you get to the city, there is always a way."
After thinking about it, Zhang Kun blinked and whispered: "hotel."
Zhang Kun's spoken language does not seem to be very accurate. After all, Zhang Kun only inherited Ye Nantian's English knowledge. Knowledge is completely different from actual dialogue. It is completely fine to ask Zhang Kun to read English and write English, but in actual spoken dialogue, please, Zhang Kun has only a few days to speak English.
So when he heard Zhang Kun's words, the driver blinked and looked at Zhang Kun in confusion: "hotel?"
The driver's speaking is obviously much more standard than Zhang Kun. Fortunately, although Zhang Kun was not very accurate, he still had no problem listening to it and nodded constantly.
After receiving Zhang Kun's gesture, the driver smiled on his face and waved to Zhang Kun: "go."
Zhang Kun quickly got into the car, then the car started and drove towards the distant city.
After more than twenty minutes' drive, a taxi took Zhang Kun into Johannesburg, the famous Golden City in South Africa.
After Zhang Kun paid 150 rand of car money, the taxi put Zhang Kun down outside a five-star hotel.
Rand is the currency of the Republic of South Africa, with a value of approximately equal to Hong Kong dollars.
This time, Zhang Kun came to Johannesburg. In addition to getting rand 100,000 rand from Mr. Lu, he also brought 10,000 US dollars and 10,000 pounds.
Mr. Lu has a hobby of collecting currencies from various countries, so he has not lacked these in his vault, which can be regarded as a waste of Zhang Kun's trouble of exchanging currencies.
Standing at the entrance of a five-star hotel, Zhang Kun did not go in.
The reason why he talked about hotels was just to go to Johannesburg first.
He was not in a hurry to stay, and now his primary purpose was to find De Beers.
Before going to find Zhou Yaqi, he wanted to solve the remaining one thing left.
