If it's this ability, couldn't I work as a simultaneous translator with a daily salary of several thousand?
Ah, no, not to mention whether it's beneath me to use Superpower for this kind of thing.
The key is that I can only listen, which means I can't convert it into the other party's language.
It's okay, Three-Body sir, I can learn!
When you occupy Earth, give me a chance to be a translator.
I'm speaking very simple English. Although the word 'domain' in this phrase is a bit difficult, I said 'star' and 'Justin Bieber', so everyone should understand today's topic, right?
But some people with slightly weaker foundations might narrowly interpret it as singing stars, right?
So, should I let He Meng or Zhou Fu do it now?
Forget it, I'll leave the difficult parts to them later.
I believe in Chen Yuan.
Even if he really hears it as a narrow definition of a star, he's still a young man, so he should be able to say a few things.
So, Sherry Liu directly asked, "Then, everyone, who is your favorite star? Chen Yuan, you answer."
After being called on, Chen Yuan stood up and said quite fluently, "myfavoritestarisnotanactororasinger, butannBAbasketballplayer. heisBlackmamba, kobeBryant."
Chen Yuan's pronunciation was very standard, and he also skillfully used some sentence patterns.
After listening to him, several authoritative English teachers in the school nodded frequently and communicated in low voices.
"This is Chen Yuan, who improved by more than a hundred points in two months, right?"
"His English was only 67 in the previous exam, but now it's 132. His language talent is strong."
"Indeed, he doesn't have any accent."
Sherry Liu had been paying attention to the leaders who were auditing the class. Seeing their reactions, she was secretly delighted.
Chen Yuan's performance really exceeded her expectations.
Then, let's ask him a few more questions.
"Then, what are your reasons for liking him?"
Although Chen Yuan's listening comprehension is average, he has a large vocabulary and has mastered many simple sentence patterns, so speaking isn't a problem. He can definitely answer this simple question with ease: "ilikekobenotonlybecauseheisanoutstandingbasketballplayerwhohaswonfivechampionships, butalsobecausehehasatenaciousquality, eventrainingonthecourtat4am."
Tenacious quality!
Sherry Liu almost cried when she heard this word.
She felt her body heat up and wanted to give Chen Yuan a hard kiss!
Kobe trains at four in the morning, and your English has improved so much, you must be practicing English at four in the morning!
Thank you, Yuan.
"His vocabulary is really good."
"If you want to improve your English quickly, accumulating vocabulary is indeed important."
"He seems to be on the school's English radio station, right?"
"Yes, a little boy who recites English poems."
The leaders were very satisfied. The difference between Chen Yuan and Tang Siwen is that when he speaks English, he has a special temperament. When faced with questions from English teachers, he doesn't hesitate at all, as if he's just casually communicating.
He's full of ease.
He reacted quickly and answered well to several questions in a row.
"Then, Chen Yuan, do you know any famous scenes that embody Kobe's spirit?"
Sherry Liu was already too excited and really treated Chen Yuan as a genius. So, when she asked this question, she immediately regretted it.
What am I doing?
This is definitely too difficult.
spiritualquality, iconicscenes
These words have actually been learned, but it's a bit difficult to use them suddenly in spoken language. After all, listening and reading are two different things, and it's difficult for high school students to react to them at once. If she were to use them herself, she would probably say famous.
Chen Yuan should be stumped now, right…
I have to quickly add some explanations, otherwise, it will be awkward here.
Just as Sherry Liu was about to give a reminder, Chen Yuan spoke after thinking for five seconds about what other famous scenes Kobe had besides 'I want to escape': "whenkoberetired, hesaidtoallthefans, mambaout."
The boys in the class, who couldn't understand what these two were saying, suddenly became excited when they heard this phrase, instantly teared up, and secretly typed '1' in their minds.
And Sherry Liu wanted to give Chen Yuan a big kiss.
You kid, you're really making me proud!
I didn't even teach you properly, but you studied so hard.
I'm ashamed as a teacher.
"Not bad, he even knows iconic. Not many high school students can react to this word at once, right?"
"Indeed, he only thought for a moment."
"He's worthy of being a student who improved by more than a hundred points in two months. He might scare people again in the midterm exam this time."
One of the leaders, because of He Hongtao's excessive attention to Chen Yuan, also began to pay attention to this young man. Although he wouldn't get a bonus if Chen Yuan did well on the college entrance exam, as a member of the management, it's naturally gratifying to have a talented high-scoring student in their school.
"Please sit down." Sherry Liu smiled and asked Chen Yuan to sit down.
Then, she continued teaching the class.
She picked Chen Yuan, He Meng, Tang Siwen, and Zhou Fu to answer questions, and for questions that were so simple that the answer was obvious, she found those middle-ranking students with decent spoken English.
After this public lesson ended successfully, several teachers and leaders chatted with Sherry Liu for a while and then left the classroom. After they left, Sherry Liu went to Chen Yuan and Zhou Fu and praised them with satisfaction, "You guys are really good. You'll be able to travel abroad without any problems in the future."
"Is my level okay?" Zhou Fu asked curiously.
"Foreigners speak fast and don't have strict grammar. They don't use obscure words often. It's enough."
After praising Zhou Fu, Sherry Liu said to Chen Yuan, "You even know the word iconic?"
"Yeah, it means a sign," Chen Yuan replied calmly. "Isn't it in Required Course Four?"
Actually, Chen Yuan definitely couldn't have understood this passage if he had just listened to it.
Being able to recognize it and being able to understand it are two different things.
Sherry Liu was too excited and didn't pay attention to her student's actual level!
"Because you performed well in this class, I'll give you each a perfect score for dictation... Adding the two perfect scores from before, you both get milk tea." Sherry Liu said with a smile, "Order it, and come to the teacher's office during the first period this afternoon to get it."
Sherry Liu likes to give these kind of elementary school-like rewards.
Although she's not as dedicated to teaching as Teacher Mo, and she goes out after work, she's willing to spend her own money to reward students.
"Fruit tea, sugar-free," Zhou Fu said with an embarrassed smile.
"No way, you're so skinny, and you're still dieting?" Sherry Liu looked at Zhou Fu in surprise, not understanding.
"I've gained weight." Zhou Fu gently tightened her school uniform, indicating that her waist had a little bit of fat, but what puzzled her was, "Teacher, where are you looking?"
And, Chen Yuan, where are you looking?
Chen Yuan and Sherry Liu simultaneously moved their eyes away from Zhou Fu.
"Cough." Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Then, I'll have a caramel pudding, seven percent sugar."
"You're quite the connoisseur." Sherry Liu made an 'ok' gesture and then left the classroom with a smile.
Then, Zhou Yu turned his head and said to Chen Yuan, "Bro, tell me, don't be too proud, just be honest and confess, did you rehearse the lines with Sherry Liu in advance? Are you a shill?"
"You can't be that kind of person, you'll harm yourself!" He Sijiao also leaned over and reminded him very seriously.
Their faces were full of worry.
They're worried that this guy is really getting better!
"May the shill die," Chen Yuan said, resigned.
Am I not allowed to improve or something?
"Hey! Don't say that kind of thing, quickly spit, spit, spit." Zhou Yu said caringly.
"Yeah, yeah, touch wood, quickly touch wood." He Sijiao also showed concern.
"The two of you look more and more like a married couple."
At this time, Zhou Fu looked at the two of them and suddenly sighed.
Then, the two of them rested their hands on their chins, turned their heads away, and started playing dead.
A very classic act of playing dead.
Good job, Zhou Fu-san, you're becoming a bit more like Yuan.
"By the way, speaking of milk tea," Zhou Fu said to everyone with some embarrassment, "My family opened a cafe. It has a lot of desserts. It just opened for business these past few days. After school, would you like to go play together?"
"Wow, rich lady!" He Sijiao said with an envious expression.
"No, not really. My dad has always wanted to quit his job and run his own cafe, but the boss over there doesn't want to let him go, so my mom has been the manager recently. Business is... a little bit bad," Zhou Fu said awkwardly.
Her dad invested half of his savings to open this cafe. If her mom doesn't manage it well, he might have to take over himself.
"That's great, but..." Zhou Yu really wanted to go, but he glanced at He Sijiao and then looked at Zhou Fu and sighed, "But we live at school. We can go on Saturday."
"Then let's go on Saturday, all of us together," He Sijiao said.
"Okay, then what about today..." Zhou Fu looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "You're a day student, so come support us, right?"
"I definitely have to visit Sister Fu's business, but Xinyu is waiting after school..."
"That's easy."
Since the other party has the desire to agree, Zhou Fu didn't care and generously invited, "Invite Xinyu along!"
………
Just like that, after school, Chen Yuan and Zhou Fu waited for the bus together at the school gate. Then, after meeting up with Xinyu at the Fourth Middle School station, the three of them took a DiDi to Zhou Fu's cafe.
When they walked to the entrance, they both showed surprised expressions.
"Zhou Fu's Fu, is the Fu of 'wealthy'," Chen Yuan said with genuine emotion, looking at the stylishly decorated, large-area cafe, which was also conveniently located next to the university.
"Yeah, it feels like the kind of shop that sells very expensive desserts." Xia Xinyu had already started weighing the balance in her Alipay account.
"No way, that's an exaggeration. Come in."
Zhou Fu directly grabbed Xia Xinyu's arm and led them into the cafe. Then, she found a quiet and elegant spot by the window to seat them. Then, she said with a smile, "You two wait a bit. I'll go talk to my mom about something."
After she left, Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan looked at each other.
Then, they opened a menu.
