Chapter 35 English Translation
Zhu Tiejun threatened to invite everyone to a restaurant. However, there are no good restaurants around the petrochemical machine. On the contrary, the hospitality cafeteria run by the factory itself is of good grade, and you can order food, so the group came here under Feng Xu's guidance. To the reception canteen.

"Order whatever you want." After the waiter brought up the menu, Zhu Tiejun said to everyone.

The menu is just a piece of paper with the names of twenty or thirty dishes written by hand.In those days, there were no technologies such as printing, copying, and plastic packaging, and the menu in a pretty good hospitality canteen was worse than that of later generations of farmhouses.As for the types of dishes, it was even more lackluster. It was nothing more than sliced ​​pork, fried pork, braised pork, fried fish, etc. The richness was not as rich as Lin Zhenhua's family banquet.

"So many dishes? It's tricky." Yang Chunshan looked at the menu and muttered.

"Just ordering like this, what's the point?" Lin Zhenhua was very disdainful, "Or don't order, let the master cook just like the list and it's over."

Everyone laughed and laughed, and finally ordered six dishes and three bottles of liquor.Welders such as Yang Chunshan seldom have the opportunity to eat and drink with public funds. When they see a table full of dishes, their eyes can't help but light up, like welding sparks.After symbolically asking Zhu Tiejun to move his chopsticks first, everyone ate like a wolf.

While eating, another group of people walked in from outside the cafeteria, talking while walking.As a hospitality cafeteria, it is normal for people to come and go, but this group of people is very unusual, because in the conversation of everyone, there are even a few foreign languages ​​mixed in.

"Xiaohua, look quickly, there are foreigners." Yang Chunshan's position happened to be facing the door of the cafeteria, so he was the first to see a foreigner with a high nose and blue eyes among the group of people, and hurriedly reminded Lin Zhenhua to visit.At that time, foreigners were a rare animal, and they would attract crowds of people wherever they went, so that there was a civilized rule at that time, which was "don't crowd around foreigners".

A group of people in the Hanhua Factory turned their heads to look at the foreigners. Although Lin Zhenhua was not interested in foreigners, he still turned back with everyone.It didn't matter when he turned his head, he found that the interpreter beside the foreigner turned out to be an acquaintance: He Haifeng from the Light Industry Department of Xiangping Province.

"Old He..." Lin Zhenhua blurted out, but he swallowed half of the word "He". He didn't know if it was appropriate to greet He Haifeng at this time.

However, He Haifeng saw Lin Zhenhua at a glance. He said something to the other people around him. He probably asked them to order food first, and then walked to the table in Hanhua Factory, and greeted Lin Zhenhua affectionately: "Little Lin, why are you here?"

"We built a submerged arc welding machine and sent it to the petrochemical machine for inspection." Lin Zhenhua stood up quickly, first explained to He Haifeng the situation of his arrival at the petrochemical machine, and then quickly introduced each other to everyone : "Director He, this is Zhu Tiejun, the deputy director of our Hanhua Machinery Factory. ... Director Zhu, this is Director He Haifeng from the Light Industry Department of Xiangping Province."

"Hello."

"Hello."

He Haifeng and Zhu Tiejun greeted each other, shook hands, and exchanged a few pleasantries.One of these two people is the chief and the other is the deputy, they are of similar rank, and they are both relatively easy-going people, so after chatting for a few words, they still seem to appreciate each other.He Haifeng immediately invited Zhu Tiejun to sit in the Light Industry Hall when he was on a business trip to Tanzhou, and Zhu Tiejun threatened that he would treat He Haifeng warmly whenever he went to Fenghua County.

After being polite with Zhu Tiejun, He Haifeng turned his head and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Xiao Lin, I really didn't expect to meet you here. I still want to take time to visit Fenghua County after the things here are over. Look at you."

Lin Zhenhua knew that He Haifeng was not lying, and quickly said, "Thank you Director He for remembering me. By the way, why did you come to Jiangnan Province? You brought this foreign guest?"

He Haifeng sighed: "Oh, don't mention it. Your Jiangnan Provincial Department of Light and Chemical Industry imported a CNC machine tool from the United States. This foreign guest is named Ford. He is a technician from the United States and is responsible for technical training. Your province is from the Normal University. I found an English teacher to translate for Mr. Ford. As a result, her English was fine for daily conversations, but she was blinded when it came to professional vocabulary. You Qinghua Department asked us for help. I learned a little professional English in the past anyway, so I was caught as an errand. I’m ashamed to say that I can’t translate many words that Mr. Ford said, so I hold an English-Chinese mechanical dictionary every day, and I’m cramming.”

"Machine English is really troublesome." Lin Zhenhua was deeply moved, "Teachers from Normal University probably know what Long_live_Chairman_Mao is?"

He Haifeng's eyes lit up: "Xiao Lin, do you understand English?"

"Uh..." Lin Zhenhua hesitated, trying to hide his clumsiness, but couldn't bear to see He Haifeng's disappointment.He could imagine that He Haifeng's English must be barely manageable, and it would be embarrassing to hold an English-Chinese dictionary as a translator.Lin Zhenhua is of course quite confident in his English proficiency. He has accompanied his tutor to participate in various academic conferences in the machinery industry at home and abroad, read papers in English at the conferences, and communicated with mechanical experts from various countries. There is no obstacle at all.

"Director He, I learned a little bit of English when I was in the army." Lin Zhenhua said implicitly.

"So, do you understand English related to mechanical technology?"

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "I have dabbled in it, but I can't be proficient in it."

"Great!" He Haifeng was overjoyed. Lin Zhenhua's hands in Tanzhou were so beautiful, which made He Haifeng have a special confidence in Lin Zhenhua.He thought that since Lin Zhenhua dared to say that he had dabbled in something, he must be sure in his heart.

"Let's go, come with me and talk to Ford." He Haifeng pulled Lin Zhenhua and said.He turned his head to look at Zhu Tiejun, remembered that the leader was still there, and quickly changed his tone of discussion: "Director Zhu, I would like to ask Xiao Lin to help me receive foreign guests, do you think it is appropriate? This matter, in fact It is also a matter of your Jiangnan Provincial Light and Chemical Department, as you saw just now, the foreign guests are accompanied by Director Xie Chunyan of your Light and Chemical Department."

Zhu Tiejun did see Director Xie Chunyan who he knew among that group of people just now, and knew that what He Haifeng said was true, but he was still a little uncertain about whether Lin Zhenhua knew English.He looked at Lin Zhenhua and asked, "Xiao Lin, can you do it? Don't delay Director He's affairs, you can't make international jokes."

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "Director Zhu, I have studied English for a few days in the army, and I don't know if it will work. How about I go with Director He to try it out. Isn't Director He responsible for everything?"

"No problem, Director Zhu, I have confidence in Xiao Lin, as long as he says something is possible, there will be no problem." He Haifeng said, pulling Lin Zhenhua to his table.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I met an acquaintance just now." He Haifeng came to his table and greeted everyone. He pointed to Lin Zhenhua: "This is the hero of the self-defense counterattack, Comrade Lin Zhenhua, who has now retired , working in Hanhua Machinery Factory. It just so happens that he has learned a little English, so I would like to invite him to come over and see if he can be an interpreter for Mr. Ford."

Everyone nodded to Lin Zhenhua. Although they were muttering in their hearts, it was not convenient for He Haifeng to express it because of He Haifeng's face.Lin Zhenhua saw a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and dressed as a teacher next to the American named Ford, who was translating to Ford what He Haifeng said just now. It is estimated that this middle-aged woman is the teacher He Haifeng mentioned University English teacher.

After listening to the English teacher's translation, Ford also nodded to Lin Zhenhua, and said in English: "Mr. He just said that you can translate for me, is that true?"

Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and replied in fluent English: "Yes, Mr. Ford. But my English level may not be very high, please bear with me."

"No, no, no, your English is very good!" Ford was so excited that he almost jumped up. He has been in China for more than ten days, and listening to the teacher of Normal University and He Haifeng's English with oriental charm every day, Ford is about to collapse up.Lin Zhenhua's English is a standard American accent, even more standard than Ford's own English pronunciation, which made Ford feel like seeing his relatives.

"He speaks English, right?" Another middle-aged woman sitting next to the English teacher whispered to the English teacher. She was one of the only two women at the table. Lin Zhenhua could tell that, She should be Xie Chunyan, the director of Jiangnan Light Chemical Department that He Haifeng mentioned.

The English teacher nodded: "He is quite right. There is one place where the grammar is different from what we usually require in class, but it is in line with American speaking habits. From the perspective of pronunciation, I think his pronunciation is similar to that of Mr. Ford. It is the closest, and it should belong to the relatively standard American English. However, what we learn in school is generally spoken English, and there are some obstacles when communicating with Mr. Ford."

"There are still such talents in Hanhua Machinery Factory?" Xie Chunyan was a little surprised. Seeing that Lin Zhenhua had finished greeting Ford, she stretched out her hand to signal Lin Zhenhua to sit down, and asked the waiter to add a set of bowls and chopsticks for him.

"Your name is Lin..." Xie Chunyan asked hesitantly. She didn't remember Lin Zhenhua's name when He Haifeng introduced it just now.

"My name is Lin Zhenhua, and I am a worker of Hanhua Machinery Factory." Lin Zhenhua replied respectfully. Xie Chunyan is the leader of the provincial department, and he dare not make mistakes.

"Oh, I'm also very familiar with Hanhua Factory." Xie Chunyan said, "Where did you graduate from? I heard from Mr. Li that your English is very good."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Where is it, Mr. Li is over the award. I only have a junior high school education, and my English was learned when I was a soldier in the army. I was a scout in the army, so I learned more complicated things."

"Xiao Lin has a wide range of knowledge." He Haifeng said. Lin Zhenhua had just exchanged a few words with Ford, which made He Haifeng feel at ease, knowing that Lin Zhenhua's English would never embarrass him as a recommender.

"When Xiaolin was in Tanzhou, he helped us solve two major technical problems." He Haifeng continued to introduce, and he briefly talked about the process of Lin Zhenhua helping two porcelain factories solve technical problems in Tanzhou. They are all sensible people, and they know that this young man is indeed capable of grasping the core of the problem so quickly.

"Why didn't we find such a talent in the past?" Xie Chunyan looked at Lin Zhenhua with a slightly different look. She had a lot of contact with He Haifeng these days, and knew that He Haifeng would not talk nonsense easily. Since he was praising Lin Zhenhua, it can be seen that this Lin Zhenhua There is indeed something extraordinary.

A man sitting next to Xie Chunyan interjected: "Comrade Lin Zhenhua, you learned English in the army, so do you know English for mechanical majors? You should know that if it's just a daily conversation, we already have Teacher Li here." I have worked as an interpreter. Mr. Li is an English teacher at a normal university, and his English level is very high. Our main problem now is that we cannot find a suitable person to translate some mechanical English vocabulary, otherwise we will not go all the way I went to Xiangping Province to ask Director He to help."

"Xiao Lin, he is the technical section chief of Petrochemical Machinery, Wei Dongqi, chief Wei." He Haifeng introduced from the side.

"Oh, Chief Wei, hello." Lin Zhenhua nodded politely to Wei Dongqi, and then said, "Coincidentally, when I was in the army, it happened to be a local scout who taught us English. He is a famous professor who teaches mechanical majors, so I understand a little bit of English for mechanical majors.”

Teacher Li from the Normal University has been acting as an interpreter. She also faithfully translated the conversation between Lin Zhenhua and Wei Dongqi.Ford waved his hands again and again when he heard it halfway, "I hope to ask this Mr. Lin to be my interpreter. No matter whether he is familiar with mechanical English or not, I believe that I can communicate well with him."

In Ford's sense, it doesn't matter if you know mechanical English or not, as long as it saves me from having to listen to the English with the accent of the water village in the south of the Yangtze River in China every day.If it’s not possible, I can make the professional words simpler, and you just need to find a way to translate them.

Xie Chunyan heard what Ford said, and she no longer doubted it. She said to Lin Zhenhua: "Well, Comrade Xiaolin, I formally notify you to serve as Mr. Ford's interpreter in the name of the Light and Chemical Department, and help Mr. Ford complete his Equipment installation, commissioning and training in China. I will greet you at your factory, and you can handle it as a business trip when you are in the petrochemical machine these days."

"Director Xie, Xiao Lin's factory manager is at the table over there. You can go over there and talk to him in person." He Haifeng said, he wanted to make the leaders of Hanhua Factory know Lin Zhenhua through such a move. The importance of this is also a means to help Lin Zhenhua strive for a better condition.

Xie Chunyan nodded: "Oh, ok, I'll go over to say hello after dinner. I think the person who came here seems to be Deputy Director Zhu, right? I have dealt with him before."

Lin Zhenhua saw that when everyone was discussing his work arrangement, they didn't discuss anything with him at all, and directly treated him as a transparent body, and felt helpless.However, it was like this in those years. You are an employee of the company, and the superior leader wants to arrange for you to work, so what else do you need to discuss with you?In any case, Xie Chunyan just said that he can be treated as a business trip while he is lingering in the petrochemical machine, which means that he can get a business trip subsidy of [-] cents per day, which is considered a good job.

"Director Xie, I obey the arrangement. By the way, what kind of equipment Mr. Ford is here to install this time, can I find out?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"It's a new type of milling machine, all controlled by a computer." Wei Dongqi replied, he didn't think Lin Zhenhua knew what a CNC machine tool was.

"Oh, it must be a CNC machine tool." Lin Zhenhua said, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Wei, you just said that the imported digital milling machine is a digital milling machine? Could it be Spischer?" The company's MK800?"

"That's right, it's the MK800. How did you know?" Wei Dongqi was shocked. Lin Zhenhua could speak English, which was not enough to make him feel unbelievable, but Lin Zhenhua could make a judgment based on two key words: America and milling machine. The model of the milling machine is MK800, what a genius it is.
