After dressing up as an eighty-year-old female cannon fodder, I beat the whole crowd

Chapter 305

The two sides officially started talking. First, they would introduce the personnel of both parties, and then the union chairman would introduce the production and operation conditions of the factory and the work of the union.

At the same time, the other party will also introduce some activities of their domestic trade unions.

Yan Yi will be the translator for both parties, and just translate the main situation to both parties.At the beginning, she translated quite smoothly. After all, they were all common terms. Then when the two sides introduced special terms, she started to get slightly stuck.

It’s true that she studied abroad. At that time, she was not a professional translator.

Moreover, generally speaking, if you act as a translator, you must understand the content of the translation in advance. After all, it will involve some professional knowledge, and you must be prepared in advance.

I don’t know if Yan Yi is not clear about it, or she is too conceited, or maybe she was ordered to do so at the last minute and didn’t have time to prepare.

In short, she didn't know much about the technical terminology and couldn't explain it accurately.

Seeing the confused look on the outside, our staff also felt a little strange, so they interrupted Yan Yi's translation.

"What's wrong? Is the other party dissatisfied with us? Or...?"

Yan Yi felt a little dizzy, but still said: "It doesn't matter, there is no problem."

She decided that some technical terms that were difficult to translate but did not affect the general meaning and purpose of the sentence were skipped and not translated.

Perhaps, this way will be better.

Yan Yi started translating again. As expected, what words were missing, she could translate much more smoothly, but she didn't introduce any of the special products and crafts of this unit, but just summarized them in a very general way.

When the factory leader focused on introducing a certain product, Yan Yi was completely stuck. She couldn't express it with precise sentences and vocabulary after several attempts.

Facing so many pairs of eyes, she was very embarrassed, so she coughed a few times to relieve the tense atmosphere and at the same time cover her inner panic.The other people present didn't know much English, so they really thought that Yan Yi had a voice problem, so the translation was interrupted.

"Comrade translator. Is your throat okay? Otherwise, drink some water to moisten your throat before translating." Zhang Hong said and greeted Su Hanyan and asked her to pour water for Yan Yi.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter. Drink some water and take your time." Members of the foreign delegation also comforted Yan Yi and asked her to drink some water.

Yan Yi had a decent smile on her face, but in fact her heart was already being burned by a fierce fire. She was very anxious. Faced with this situation, she didn't know how to deal with it.

There are differences between general English, professional English and even business English. She majored in finance and knew financial vocabulary by heart, but she had almost zero vocabulary reserves for professional English such as chemical machinery.

She was really panicked. It was May weather, and she was sweating profusely and her back was soaked.

Su Hanyan kept listening to the interpreter and had already heard the problems and clues.

Seeing that beads of sweat were about to roll off Yan Yi's forehead, Su Hanyan smiled, filled her with water, and said directly: "Director, I think comrade translator seems to have a bad throat. Otherwise, Shall I be the translator for her?"

"Can you do it?" Director Zhang knew Su Hanyan's level, but after all, there were differences between English teachers and professional translators.

This is a major matter in the factory, so it’s better to confirm it.

You can never be too cautious.

"It can be done." Su Hanyan said with certainty, "I see that she looks very uncomfortable, why don't you let me come! I am an employee in our factory, and I have already followed the factory's business policy for the products and sales of the factory. Very familiar with the concept!”
