Chen Qiaoshan pushed his sister who was still stunned beside him, "Greeting the guest!"

Chen Xi then realized and quickly got up to work.

She had a cheerful temperament, with a clear shadow of Tao Xiuying, and she was much better at dealing with people than Chen Qiaoshan. However, she was completely shocked by her second brother's grades. She could not believe that Chen Qiaoshan was the first in the province and had completely forgotten that there were two guests at home.

"Student Chen, have you known that you can get the first place in the exam?" Xie Lei asked her question directly.

"I'm sure!" Chen Qiaoshan didn't hide it and admitted it directly.

...

The two chatted for a while, and Xie Lei kept staring at him, hoping to find some clues from him, but Chen Qiaoshan's reaction was normal, leaving her with nothing.

Chen Qiaoshan was actually in a state of turmoil. Xie Lei said that he had taken the exam for 736, and he knew that the fun this time was a bit big.

In his original expectation, he only scored more than 700 points. There were four or five multiple-choice questions in the big comprehensive. These questions were either subjective questions or current affairs questions. He really didn't have the talent in this area, so he could only guess based on his feelings. One question scored six points, which was a missed 30 points, and it all depends on his luck.

Based on the results of previous years, if you get 710, you can basically win the championship in Henan Province. He expected only 700 points in his heart. As for how much it is, it depends entirely on luck, but he didn't expect God to joke with him.

After accidentally letting out a big satellite, Chen Qiaoshan was secretly alert in his heart that he must deal with these reporters carefully. Even if there is a little flaw, what awaits him is endless trouble. Fortunately, he is prepared.

Chen Xi brought a few cups of herbal tea to everyone. Xie Lei thanked her, but was thinking about Chen Qiaoshan. Chen Qiaoshan was also thinking about her in her heart. The two of them started chatting with each other in a tentative manner.

Xie Lei asked some common questions. She did this mainly to reduce the psychological defenses of the interviewees. Chen Qiaoshan also felt very relaxed in dealing with it. He studied hard, took notes frequently, previewed in advance, analyzed after class, and spoke again and again. The meaning inside and outside was very obvious. He was a role model for three good students.

Xie Lei felt a little tooth pain. This kid was thick-skinned and was just talking nonsense and fooling her with lies.

Chen Qiaoshan was very satisfied with his current appearance. He picked up the herbal tea in front of him and took a sip. A strange and familiar smell surged into his heart.

He is very accustomed to the taste of herbal tea. This is not brewed with tea leaves, but the leaves of the Hundred Flowers Tree (sound). This kind of tree is sporadically distributed in northwestern Hubei, and there is no such thing in Henan Province.

In my previous life, my mother would pick fresh leaves early every year to dry them, store them until summer to make herbal tea. The tea is fragrant but not bitter, and it also brings some sweetness, which can clear heat and relieve heat.

Tao Xiuying is from Hubei Province, and she took the leaves for making tea from her parents' home.

The life of the Chen family is integrated with the habits of the two places. What impressed Chen Qiaoshan the most was the cup of herbal tea in his hand, the taste of his previous life and the taste of his mother. When he thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. He didn't know how his parents in his previous life were like.

...

Xie Lei was very dissatisfied with the interview and didn't want to go around with him anymore. She asked directly: "Why are your college entrance examination scores so much worse than your usual scores?"

Chen Qiaoshan was not surprised either. He knew he could not escape for a long time. He said slowly: "Actually, there is nothing to make a fuss. One depends on strength and the other depends on talent, and there is also some luck!"

Xie Lei was angry and laughed. The man opened his eyes and was talking lies, "What do you think you are relying on?"

"It's both!"

"Your monthly exam score in your senior year is basically around 600 points!" Xie Lei was a little angry. This was obviously just a hob meat and an old fried dough stick.

Chen Qiaoshan said leisurely: "There is nothing strange about this!"

He pointed to Chen Xi beside him and introduced: "This is my third sister, the fourth place in the city in the middle school entrance examination. Now he is in the first and first grades in the first grade. Every time he takes the first grade, my fourth sister is in the third grade, and every time he takes the first grade!" He did not mention the fifth grade, and the fifth grades were really not up to standard.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't give her a chance to speak, "I'm lucky, I've encountered many types of questions in the college entrance examination!"

Xie Lei was helpless and had a long time to get involved in the family as a whole. The reason was really powerful and it was nothing to say.

She thought of the suspicious points she found from Zhang Qingshan yesterday and asked: "Your English almost scored a full mark, but the composition was deducted two points because of the slang. Can I ask who did you learn English speaking from?"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised. Has this person seen his English test paper? Isn’t the marking work confidential? This reporter is so powerful!

He didn't have time to think too much now, so he said directly: "Study yourself! Listen more, think more, and talk more!"

"That's all?" Xie Lei obviously didn't believe his words. She also learned English and could only learn mute English from books. With the situation of the first high school, this reason is difficult to convince.

Chen Qiaoshan did not refute, and thought about it and read it in English familiarly:

long years ago a, church stands near

by,the,road,an,an,an,an,cross.

no,marble,no,conventional,phrase;

on,limestone,quarried,near,the,spot

by,his,command,these,words, are,cut:

horseman,pass,by!

Xie Lei looked at Chen Qiaoshan sitting in front of her and couldn't help feeling a secretly wrong. Her English was so bad before. She had worked for several years and almost returned it to the teacher. However, judging from the fluency of his chanting, her English level was quite good.

Chen Xi asked curiously: "Second brother, are you reciting English poetry? Why do you feel weird!"

Chen Qiaoshan is not surprised that ordinary people can only translate foreign poetry, but they cannot understand the beauty of poetry. Poetry translation is a very difficult technical job, and ordinary people really cannot do it.

If you don’t believe it, you can try to translate ancient poems into English, and the result must be very cola. There are many ready-made examples in reality. Among the four classics, "Journey to the West" was translated by Westerners into "The Story of Monkey" and "The Adventures of Monkey" and so on. There is no big problem, but the charm is more than one somersault cloud.

"Water Margin" is even more fucked. There is a foreign translation called "The Story of One Hundred and Five Men and Three Women". After reading it, people who don't know the truth think it is the island country *****, and some are translated into "The Criminals Live by the Water", "The Fugitives by the Swamp", and "All Men Are Brothers", which shows the degree of terribility.

"Water Margin" also has a translation called "Brothers in the World", which is quite reliable, and it has a bit of a heroic spirit across the world. The translator is Pearl Buck. She is a pure American and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1938.

She is a legendary woman. Pearl Buck is her Chinese name. She followed her parents to live in China after she was less than one year old. She stayed for nearly forty years and was considered half a Chinese, but her translation was not very outstanding.

Chen Qiaoshan explained to Chen Xi: "It is not that simple to translate foreign poetry into Chinese. You need to understand the connotation of poetry. When translating, try to restore the beauty of poetry as much as possible!"

Seeing that Chen Xi still didn't understand, he added: "This is a poem by the Irish poet Yeats. The last sentence is his epitaph. It is translated as - seeing through life and death coldly, the knight is moving forward fearlessly, you have to translate it directly - take a cold look, live, die, and the knight passes by, it must be very strange, and there is no beauty at all."

Chen Qiaoshan liked this poem very much in his previous life, and the poet Ye Zhi was also very interesting. He fell in love with a woman and repeatedly asked for it but failed to get it. He insisted on that love throughout his life. Perhaps it was these reasons that made his life full of romanticism.

Since Chen Xi learned about her second brother’s college entrance examination results, she has always felt unreal. Listening to him skillfully recite English poems and then talking freely, breaking her long-term cognition. Is this still her honest, dull and taciturn second brother?

Xie Lei accepted Chen Qiaoshan's explanation in her heart. He obviously had a wide range of knowledge. A child from a remote rural area, familiar with the poet Ye Zhi, and could recite his epitaph. He was a problem student in school. He was an early love or a top scorer in the college entrance examination. Who was Chen Qiaoshan?

Xie Lei suddenly thought of what happened in the morning and asked quickly: "How did you get hurt on your feet?"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little puzzled. Didn’t he ask in the clinic? He didn’t want to publicize the issue of saving people. The college entrance examination results were already very eye-catching. It would be better to be low-key, so he said casually: “I stepped on the glass!”

"The day before yesterday, a car fell into the river in the river dam in the town. A man named Chen Qiaoshan went into the water to save the person. In the end, his foot was injured. Is that person you?"

Chen Qiaoshan was really a little surprised. Since everyone knew about it, there was no need to continue to hide it. "It's me!"

"Second brother, you really went to the river to save people. I thought you were lying to others!"

This time it was Chen Qiaoshan's turn to have a toothache. When did I want to lie? It's just that no one believed me when I told the truth!
