Chapter 51 Japanese Translation

Hearing the words Banla Naizi, people who don't know the truth may think that Luo Bing is driving, but in fact, Luo Bing is talking about the Polonez sedan. .

Polonaise is a sedan produced in Poland. This car is a remodel of Fiat 125. It has four large round lights on the front face and a fast-back design, which was very fashionable at the time. According to its homophony, the folks are jokingly called Banla Naizi

In the early 1980s, Poland's political situation was chaotic, and people's livelihood and economy were greatly affected. China imported a large number of Polonez cars through barter trade. Unfortunately, the appearance of this car is not serious enough, and it is not suitable as an official car. used, so in the big cities, Polonez ended up being out of the beginning.

In a small city like Qinghe, the Polonez is completely fine as an official car. Anyway, it is also an imported car, which is better than the BJ212 Jeep. Cars that are despised in big cities are rushing to get them in small cities.

In later generations, special heavy-duty sedan trucks will be chosen for transporting new cars. A 13.75-meter trailer can transport six sedans at a time, and models with a central axle will have a larger transportation volume.

In the 1980s, there was obviously no such transport condition, so the best mode of transport was to send a driver over and drive the car back.

Fortunately, Qinghe is located in the eastern region. If it is in an inland province like Tibet and Xinjiang, the running-in period will pass after picking up a new car.

...

Li Weidong and his party boarded the train to Jinmen.

In the 1980s, the train speed was relatively slow. From Qinghe to Jinmen, it took more than ten hours by train, so this time, Li Weidong took the hard sleeper.

Hard sleepers on trains are hard to buy. Basically, only leading cadres are on business trips before they are eligible to sit on hard sleepers. It is almost impossible to buy more than 30 hard sleeper tickets at one time.

But this is not a problem for Qinghe Transportation Company. The transportation company and the railway station are brothers and have very close business relations with each other, especially the freight departments of the two sides. It can even be said that they are interdependent.

Although the volume of railway transportation is very large, it is limited by the railway track line. Without the railway track connection, even two adjacent cities cannot be transported by railway.

Road transportation is much more flexible, as long as you can travel by car, things can be delivered. Therefore, even the iron boss needs a unit such as a transportation company as a supplement to the transportation capacity.

With the relationship between the transportation company and the railway, not to mention more than 30 sleeper tickets, even a few wagons can be obtained.

The hard sleeper is much more comfortable than the hard seat. Li Weidong played a few cards with several master drivers, then lay down on the bed and slept before arriving in Jinmen City.

After checking into the hostel, Luo Bing let others move freely, while he went to the local foreign trade department to go through the procedures for picking up the car.

Li Weidong left the hostel with a driver who was familiar with Jinmen and went to the lively place for a stroll.

In Jinmen City in 1985, in addition to the bicycle army, there were buses with wires overhead, which was a feature only in big cities at that time.

In the prosperous area of ​​Jinmen City, there were already coin-operated telephone booths on the roadside, which was still a novelty for the common people at that time. Around Haihe Square, there were endless small buildings, and in the theatre of Ancient Culture Street, there were still people on stage at night. In the singing opera, in the Central Park, the most famous blind date corner in the future is posting advertisements promoting late marriage and family planning.

There are a lot of people in the Quanye field at night. Big brands such as Phoenix Self-confidence Car, Huaqing Pool, Jinmen Daoxiang Village, etc. even have their own neon sign advertisements, which add vitality to the night.

As far as nightlife is concerned, a big city like Jinmen is indeed full of small Qinghe. It is a pity that although Li Weidong looks like a seventeen-year-old, he has the mentality of a middle-aged and elderly person. He is not interested in the hustle and bustle of nightlife. He bought a bag of twists as a gift for his foodie brother, and returned to the hostel.

Li Weidong and Luo Bing lived in the same room. When Li Weidong opened the door,

I happened to see Luo Bing eating dry food with pickles.

Captain Luo, why are you eating now? Li Weidong asked.

It's been a busy day, but it's past the meal time, and the chef has already rested, so I can only take a break and eat a few mouthfuls of dry food. Luo Bing looked at his watch and asked, It's you, Why did you come back so early? Don't you go shopping? Jinmen is much busier than ours.

I'm not interested, so I'll be back. Li Weidong said, took out the bag of twist, put it in front of Luo Bing, and then said, Captain Luo, I just bought some twist, you can try it, it's better than steamed buns and pickles.

Thank you, then. Luo Bing was not polite, he broke off a piece of twist and put it in the end, chewing it quack, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Li Weidong picked up the thermos, poured himself a cup of tea, then sat next to Luo Bing and asked, Captain Luo, this time to the Foreign Trade Bureau, is it going well?

Don't mention it, things haven't been done, we have to go on tomorrow. Luo Bing wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and continued: The deputy director in charge of this matter is not there, I waited until they got off work, no one came back, no If the deputy director signs, we won't be able to pick up the car. I plan to go to the Foreign Trade Bureau early tomorrow morning to block him, if we can't block him again, we have to stay for another day.

Li Weidong thought for a while and asked, Captain Luo, why don't I go with you tomorrow. Two people can at least go to the toilet instead. It's more convenient to buy a meal.

Luo Bing nodded: Alright, then you can go with me. I will wake you up tomorrow morning. There is a pancake and fruit nearby, which is very delicious. I just happened to take you to try it.

...

The next day, before dawn, Luo Bing and Li Weidong got up and left the hostel. Luo Bing invited Li Weidong to eat a pancake and fruit, and the two went straight to the Foreign Trade Bureau.

When they arrived at the door of the Foreign Trade Bureau, the door was closed before work time, so the two of them waited at the door, hoping to block the deputy director. When the Foreign Trade Bureau went to work, the two ran away from the Foreign Trade Bureau and waited.

However, the deputy director still did not appear until after nine in the morning.

In desperation, Luo Bing had to find the director of the office and inquire about the situation of the deputy director.

Director Wang, I'm just an errand runner, don't make it difficult for me. Luo Bing's attitude was very low.

Comrade, I'm not trying to embarrass you. I really don't know when our Zhou Bureau will come back. The office director surnamed Wang replied.

You're the director of the office, so you don't know Zhou Bureau's itinerary. I'll ask him to sign, and leave after signing. Please help me. Luo Bing begged.

Director Wang sighed helplessly: To tell you the truth, Zhou Bureau has been receiving an important foreign guest for the past two days, but in the process of receiving foreign guests, we encountered some troubles. Our Zhou Bureau has been in the past two days. Fix it. It's not resolved, and I really don't know when he'll be back.

Luo Bing showed an expression of disbelief, as if questioning Director Wang's deliberate shirk.

Director Wang had no choice but to explain: The foreign guest received by Zhou Bureau this time is an automotive engineer from RB. In order to receive this foreign guest, we also specially found a Japanese teacher from Jinmen University to translate for the foreign guest. Who knew that the Japanese teacher's conversations in daily life would be no problem, but when it came to the professional vocabulary of cars, he was blinded.

Foreign guests come to inspect cars. If they do not understand the professional vocabulary of cars, the inspection will not be carried out. Our weekly bureau can only look for translators everywhere. In our Jinmen, it is easy to find people who can speak Japanese, but when it comes to professional vocabulary related to automobiles, it is really impossible to find a single one. Zhou Ju thought about it, and if he couldn't find it, he would go to the capital in person and ask the Ministry of Foreign Trade for help.

When Luo Bing heard this answer, his expression instantly changed to a pickled cucumber, and he said to himself: It is 150 kilometers from Jinmen to the capital, and it will take a day to run back and forth! Don't you have to wait two days to find a translator?

Luo Bing thought that when he came to Jinmen this time, he simply picked up the car and left the next day. I didn't expect things to be so complicated.

At this moment, Li Weidong, who was next to him, stepped forward and asked, Director Wang, can you call Bureau Zhou back if you find a Japanese translation that understands automotive vocabulary?

Can you find an interpreter? Director Wang asked hurriedly.

Li Weidong nodded: I can find a Japanese translator who is proficient in automotive vocabulary.

Little Li, don't talk nonsense, you can't deceive the leaders of the Foreign Trade Bureau. Luo Bing hurriedly tugged at the corner of Li Weidong's shirt.

Team Luo, I'm not talking nonsense, I can really find a Japanese translation. Li Weidong said confidently.

Seeing Li Weidong's confident face, Director Wang said, Well, as long as you get the Japanese translation, I will immediately contact Bureau Zhou and ask him to come back.

No problem! Li Weidong pointed to himself, and then said, The translation you want is far away, but right in front of you.

It's you? Luo Bing and Director Wang exclaimed at the same time, then looked at Li Weidong with an incredible look.

Li Weidong nodded: I can speak some Japanese, especially the technical terminology of automobiles, which is what I am best at.

Li Weidong has been a car mechanic in RB for several years. He is naturally familiar with professional terms in the field of automobiles. In this regard, ordinary RB people are not as good as Li Weidong.

Director Wang didn't believe Li Weidong, he said, This little comrade, you're not going to lie to me to get Zhou Ju to come back, right?

Li Weidong smiled: If you don't believe me, take a Japanese document now, and I'll translate it for you on the spot.

Director Wang looked at Li Weidong suspiciously, and then opened his mouth and instructed his subordinates: Xiao Zhang, didn't our bureau receive a letter in Japanese the day before yesterday, bring it to this young comrade and let him translate it.

Soon after, the clerk brought a letter in Japanese. Li Weidong took the letter, read half of it hastily, and then said, Well, I'll read it in Japanese first, and then translate it again.

I saw Li Weidong read the letter in proficient Japanese, then translated the contents of the letter, then raised his head and asked, Director Wang, should you trust me now?

I believe it! I believe it! You wait, little comrade, I'll find someone now and call the Zhou Bureau back. Director Wang said, waving his hand and calling for his subordinates: Xiao Zhang, hurry up and lead these two comrades. Go to the reception room, make some tea, melon seeds candy and snacks, and prepare some, but don't starve these two comrades!

...

In the reception room, Li Weidong was leaning on the spring sofa, nibbling melon seeds and drinking tea leisurely.

Comrade Xiao Zhang from the office walked in with a tray of dim sum and said, Two comrades, this is our special dim sum in Tianjin, you can try it.

Thank you. Li Weidong thanked him, picked up a snack, and shoved it into his mouth.

Luo Bing next to him looked like he was sitting on needles.

Little Li, can you really translate Japanese? If you can't, I can't help it. Luo Bing whispered.

Team Luo, you can rest assured. Come, try this snack. It's crispy, crispy, and fragrant. We can't eat it there. Li Weidong said and handed a piece of snack to Luo Bing.

How can I be at ease! Luo Bing looked at the door, and then said, Otherwise, let's run before Zhou Ju is back?

What are you running for? We ran, how can we pick up the car! Li Weidong said with a smile.

I always feel uneasy. Luo Bing then asked: Where did you learn Japanese? And you can also know the terminology of automobiles? Japanese teachers in other universities can't even know it!

Team Luo, don't forget, I came out of the auto repair workshop! The university teacher has never repaired cars, so he must not understand the technical terminology of automobiles!

Li Weidong said, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed it into Luo Bing's hand, intending to block the mouth of this curious baby.

...

In 1985, there were no mobile phones in China, and even BP machines were a new thing. At least in Tianjin, there was no paging station.

In this case, it is very difficult to find someone. If a person is away from home, there is no way to contact him.

I don't know how much effort it took for Director Wang to find Deputy Director Zhou who was away from home.

Li Weidong and Luo Bing waited for a long time, and there was a large table of melon seeds. The Deputy Director Zhou finally appeared in front of them.

Deputy Director Zhou walked into the reception room, glanced at Li Weidong and Luo Bing, walked towards Luo Bing, grabbed Luo Bing's hand, and said, This is the translation teacher, I'm Zhou Fulai, let me I'm sorry you've waited so long.

Uh, that, Bureau Zhou, I'm not the translator! The translator you're looking for is him. Luo Bing pointed at Li Weidong next to him with an embarrassed expression.

Zhou Fulai turned his head to look at Li Weidong, and immediately frowned.

Are you a translator? Zhou Fulai asked hesitantly.

Li Weidong nodded: Hello Zhou Bureau, I am the Japanese translator you are looking for.

Why are you still a student, isn't this nonsense! Zhou Fulai snorted coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

Li Weidong shook his head helplessly.

Hey, I was underestimated again!
