Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 28 is a great translation!
When talking about the previous translation, the technicians were furious.

"The material the translator brought back was completely incomprehensible. It was written like hieroglyphics, and I had to guess every sentence I read."

"Exactly! The only things I can understand in the translated material are the numbers."

"Car manufacturing is a highly professional and technical job. Even if you know Japanese, you still need to understand some technical skills!"

"Otherwise, how can he show us something that he himself can't understand?"

"..."

Hao Fengchun listened to everyone's complaints with a good temper.
He had long anticipated the reactions of the crowd. He had originally wanted to wait for everyone to vent their anger before doing some ideological work on them.

But Chen Luyang, who had been standing next to them, couldn't bear it anymore.

"Since everyone is doubting my ability, why don't I just translate it for everyone on the spot?"

"If everyone thinks my translation is good, I will stay."

"If you think my translation is not human language, then I will turn around and leave. I will never enter the fusion workshop in my life."

Chen Luyang was really a little angry.

This group of people were openly cursing the translator, but implicitly, every word they said was directed at him, looking down on him as a graduate of the No. 1 Middle School in the Machinery Factory.

joke!

Although Machinery Factory No. 1 Middle School is ordinary, Chen Luyang is not ordinary!
If he can't subdue these people today, he will go to the water room and break the boiler valve. No one will be able to take a hot bath in the staff bathhouse from now on!

"it is good!"

Hao Fengchun didn't know at this time that the factory bathhouse was facing a catastrophe.
He opened his notebook and took out the information he had prepared long ago.

"I know everyone has concerns. So, to reassure everyone, let's do a live test today!"

"Let Xiao Chen translate this material for us."

Chen Luyang: ...

It seems that Lao Hao is digging a hole for him, waiting for him to jump in!
He was ready to show off his skills, but he didn't expect that others had already prepared everything for him.

After taking the materials, Chen Luyang took a quick look at them.

The content on the paper is not very in-depth.

Rather than technical information, it is more like a comprehensive introduction or something like that.

"Xiao Chen, bring the translated materials tomorrow, and then we'll..."

"No need for tomorrow, just give me a piece of paper and a pen, and I'll translate it right now."

Chen Luyang pulled over a stool without hesitation and sat down. He spread out the information on his left hand side and started writing quickly on the paper with a pencil.

Seeing that he did what he said, Hao Fengchun, Cao Qinghang and others stood around him curiously.

After reading the first sentence of the summary written by Chen Luyang, Cao Qinghang raised his eyebrows slightly, hugged his shoulders and continued reading.

Translation is like doing math problems.

If you can do it, then you can do it. If you can’t, you really can’t make it up.

Although the technicians present did not understand the language, they understood the technical principles and could tell at a glance whether what Chen Luyang wrote was true or fabricated.

"That sentence is correct! The previous translation was so awkward no matter how I read it."

A technician spoke excitedly. The material that Lao Hao took out happened to be one that had been translated and written by a Japanese person before.

Since we are still in the contact stage, the information I give him is very basic and I dare not show him the core information.

But even with this kind of general material, the other party still struggled to translate it.

When they received the translated materials, everyone in the workshop felt dizzy and couldn't understand the ideas.

Although they are all written in Chinese characters, when put together they don’t feel like human language.

"I told you Xiao Chen is talented!"

Hao Fengchun spoke with a smile.

Although Hao Fengchun was always confident, he was actually very nervous. He had finally caught a decent horse, so he had to take it for a ride first.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Luyang had already written half a page, and what he wrote was well-founded and his words were appropriate. Only then did Old Hao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Time is short, so I can only give a rough translation. Please take a look first."

Chen Luyang handed the draft paper to everyone.

Although there is no polishing, considering Chen Luyang's level, this is a translation of above-average quality.

Cao Qinghang took the materials, read them carefully, and nodded.
"It's really well translated! There's a lot of materials in the workshop, so you'll be busy in the future."

Cao Qinghang patted Chen Luyang on the shoulder. Although he didn't say much, it was considered as formally accepting him into the fusion workshop.

"It's still quite messy now, with many things still to be tidied up. The office conditions really can't compare to other workshops. But it will get better over time."

As he spoke, Cao Qinghang led Chen Luyang to a small office inside.

"This location is relatively quiet, you can work here for the time being."

open the door,
The small office is crowded but fully equipped. Outside the window is the green willow river in the east area of the machinery factory. Sitting here, you can easily see the small villa area in the factory. The view is very good.

There are two desks placed side by side under the windowsill, two thermoses on the ground, and a single bed for sleeping next to it.

To be honest, having such an office is really a very good condition.

"Are you satisfied?"

From the first sight, Cao Qinghang kept staring at Chen Luyang.

Although this young man is young, he has only graduated from high school.

However, his behavior and manner of speaking are very different from those of his peers. Even provincial college graduates rarely have such a calm and composed temperament.

"Satisfied. As long as I can have a desk to write on, that's enough."

Chen Luyang said truthfully, "But I still need a dictionary of specialized terms. Although I can speak Japanese, the material I need to translate is professional after all, so it's better to have a dictionary as a reference."

"That's easy!" Hao Fengchun said immediately after mentioning this:
"When we hired a translator, we already bought all the relevant dictionaries. They're in my office now. I'll get them later."

Speaking of this, I have to thank the Japanese translator.

At first, they went to the capital and went to great lengths to find a Japanese translator, and the first request the translator made was to buy a dictionary.

Hao Fengchun and Deputy Director Yu ran all over the capital city before they finally bought the dictionary and brought it back to the provincial capital.

I didn't expect it would come in handy right now.
