"Reporting."
"Why are you late again?"
"I …"
"Stomach ache?"
"This?"
"Is it still a headache this time?"
"No, no, my stomach doesn't hurt this time. My head doesn't hurt either."
"Then why are you late?"
"Teacher, this is what happened. When I was on the road just now, I saw an old lady who couldn't move. As a new generation of high school students who respect the old and love the young, the teacher taught us to help old ladies cross the road since we were young."
It was a pity.
Although Chen Yu had been nagging yesterday not to be late today, he was still late.
After using all kinds of reasons, Chen Yu even used the trick of helping an old lady cross the road.
Naturally, with such a reason, let alone the teacher, the other students in the class didn't believe it and burst into laughter.
The teacher, Liu Fangting, stared at Chen Yu. But in his heart, he thought, "The phone call didn't work. It seems that I have to go to this kid's house sometime."
"Come in."
"Wait, come to the podium and translate today's lesson, Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin."
Liu Fangting deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Chen Yu, so he asked Chen Yu to go to the podium and translate a classical Chinese text.
"Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin."
Chen Yu frowned.
This text was clearly taught today. You are making things difficult for me by asking me to translate.
However, fortunately, Chen Yu also learned this text in his previous life and remembered most of it.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yu organized his words and began to translate, "After the Qin State defeated the Zhao State, they began to move north and were about to reach the territory of the Yan State. Crown Prince Dan of the Yan State was very scared, so he found his hatchet man, Jing Ke … "
"Wait, hatchet man?"
"Yes."
"You are saying that Jing Ke is Crown Prince Dan's hatchet man?"
"Is he not?"
Chen Yu nodded.
"Well, okay, you continue."
Liu Fangting wanted to say that Jing Ke was Crown Prince Dan's right-hand man. How could he be a hatchet man?
But after thinking about it, a right-hand man was similar to a hatchet man. Basically, they served the aristocrats.
It was not too much for Chen Yu to call Jing Ke a hired thug.
"Well, Crown Prince Dan found his own hatchet man and said to Jing Ke, although I want to give you a salary every day, the Qin State is going to attack us, so I can't give you a salary in the future."
"Salary?"
Liu Fangting was dumbfounded. "When did the salary come?"
"I think so."
"Crown Prince Dan clearly said that although I wish to serve you for a long time, how could it be a salary?"
"Oh, Miss Liu, 'Although I wish to serve you' is Crown Prince Dan's honorific. Actually, they have to pay their hired thugs. If Crown Prince Dan doesn't pay Jing Ke a salary, will Jing Ke still work for Crown Prince Dan? Since Crown Prince Dan had paid Jing Ke a salary, he had to work for his boss. Then, as the boss, when Crown Prince Dan asked Jing Ke to do something, he made it clear that since Jing Ke had received his salary, he had to do something for him. It's just that Crown Prince Dan was too embarrassed to say it so obviously, so he used honorifics like 'Although I wish to serve you forever'. It would be strange if he could serve you. "
"Okay, you can continue."
Liu Fangting was a little confused by Chen Yu's words. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Chen Yu said made sense.
How could Crown Prince Dan be so respectful to his follower and serve him? It was obvious that he was just being polite.
"Then, Jing Ke felt embarrassed to receive his salary every day, so he said, 'Okay, I'll go and get rid of Qin Wang for you.'"
"Get rid of Qin Wang?"
Liu Fangting wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end.
Although Sun Mo's words were very straightforward, it couldn't be said that there was a translation error.
However, Liu Fangting didn't say anything, but everyone in the class burst into laughter after hearing Chen Yu's translation.
"Get rid of Qin Wang? Hahaha, hahaha."
"That's nothing. Chen Yu said that he would pay him a salary before."
"Amazing. I didn't expect Chen Yu to be so humorous."
Even Lu Xue, who was usually serious in speech and manner, covered her mouth and snickered after hearing Chen Yu's translation.
"This guy, I didn't expect him to be so funny."
The translation continued.
Chen Yu didn't remember the original text of Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin Wang, so he just followed his own thoughts and said whatever came to mind.
"However, although he wanted to get rid of Qin Wang, it wasn't that easy. Jing Ke told Crown Prince Dan that he didn't have a token, so it was difficult for him to get close to Qin Wang. If he wanted to get close to Qin Wang, he had a way. "
"Crown Prince Dan asked what method?"
"Jing Ke said that you took in General Fan. The Qin Emperor hates this person and even offered a bounty of 1000 gold for his head. If I could bring General Fan's head to Qin Wang, Qin Wang would definitely summon me. However, Crown Prince Dan shook his head and said, 'General Fan sought refuge with me. How could I betray him?' Jing Ke didn't say anything. Then, he said in his heart, 'If you don't want to be the bad guy, then I'll be the bad guy.' Thus, Jing Ke ran to see General Fan himself … "
Liu Fangting looked at the textbook and listened carefully to Chen Yu's translation.
Then, he nodded.
This kid was quite clever and had a unique talent for literature.
His translation wasn't wrong.
Although he didn't translate it word by word, this was the best translation.
In translation, this was called "free translation".
The best way to express the meaning of the original text was also "free translation".
However, Chen Yu did not consider whether this was a free translation or something else, and he continued to translate.
He only thought that he was talking about Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Wang.
At this time, Chen Yu said that Jing Ke took Qin Wuyang to see Qin Wang.
"That Qin Wuyang was said to have killed people when he was 12 years old. However, when he saw Qin Wang, his legs trembled. Jing Ke thought to himself, 'Damn it, I was killed by this pig of a teammate.' Thus, he said that Qin Wuyang was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, so he was afraid when he saw the emperor. When Qin Wang opened the blueprint, Jing Ke knew that his chance had come. He shouted, "Bastard, watch my sword …"
Just like that, the translation of a classical Chinese text was completed with Chen Yu's nonsense.
At this time, the whole class was laughing hysterically.
Even the homeroom teacher, Liu Fangting, couldn't help but laugh several times.
If it wasn't for his image as a teacher, Liu Fangting would have laughed out loud.
"Okay, go back."
"Thank you, Miss Liu. Miss Liu, what do you think of the translation?"
"It's not bad."
"Since it's not bad, let's forget about being late this time. What do you think?"
"Ha, you even made a deal with the teacher."
"Miss Liu, I promise that I won't be late again."
"Hurry up and go back. If you don't go back, I'll go to your house to see your parents."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Chen Yu didn't say anything else and hurried back to his seat.
"Hey, classmate, you're going to make me laugh to death today."
"Lu Lu Lu, you actually look good when you smile."
"Hmm, what are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything …"
"You hooligan, look again. If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs."
"Okay, okay, okay. I won't look. You're so domineering."
