Chapter 289
Reading Settings
In just a moment, Shu Ying was surrounded by people, while Xie Zhiyan and his group walked at the very back, as if they were from a different world from the group in front of them.
They were discussing technical jargon, but the group on the outermost edge of the conversation was completely baffled.
Shu Ying shared her experience: "Actually, uncommon languages are just less common than commonly used languages, but they all have derived scripts. Generally speaking, they are similar. If it involves some professional terms, we can look them up together. There is no need to feel too much pressure."
She was glad that she had been to many places and had accumulated some experience in language.
As long as it's not a specialized term, even if you don't recognize the word, you can still translate it completely by combining it with the surrounding context. This is a skill that Shu Ying developed in college.
Xie Zhiyan looked on with admiration. He had once regretted not knowing what Shu Ying was like in school, but seeing her single-mindedly putting everything aside for one thing today, he could glimpse those days.
"Since this may involve some data from your military factory, you can list out your technical terms for me first. It will save me time once I'm familiar with them."
Wu Linghua and his group followed beside him, nodding in agreement.
Jiang Yunzhou took out a pen and paper from his jacket pocket and wrote a beautiful, flowing script, quickly marking some key words.
"Take a look. These are the technical terms on that document that I can understand."
Shu Ying slowed her pace and took the note. The vocabulary wasn't difficult, and thankfully, she hadn't lost her photographic memory after graduation.
Ye Zhanying was overwhelmed by the foreign languages the two people were speaking. She couldn't understand why people on Earth had to invent so many languages. Couldn't everyone just agree on something?
Qin Shi Huang standardized weights and measures, so why didn't he standardize the language as well?
